Which safety type can be beneficial for both left and right-handed shooters?

The tang safety is beneficial for both left and right-handed shooters because it is typically positioned on the tang of the firearm, which is the part of the receiver that allows for ambidextrous operation. This means that shooters can easily engage or disengage the safety regardless of their dominant hand. The design of tang safeties usually enables easy access and operation without requiring a specific hand orientation, making it user-friendly for everyone.

In contrast, other safety types may be designed for specific hand orientations, which could restrict their usability for one group of shooters. For example, while a crossbolt safety may be easier for right-handed shooters to operate quickly, it can be less accessible for left-handed shooters depending on its placement on the firearm. The versatility of the tang safety makes it an ideal choice for all shooters.
