I posted a few days ago asking advice regarding the Springfield Loaded and the Kimber Custom models. I've decided on getting the Springfield Loaded. All else being equal, the difference in warranty made the decision for me.
I have a question though. What is an ambidextrous thumb safety? What advantages if any, does it have on a one-sided thumb safety? I'm asking because the Loaded model I decided on, the Tactical Black Combat Stainless, only has a one-sided thumb safety. Springer Loaded models typically come with ambi safeties, but the Springfield representative I talked to said the 9154L doesn't have one because it's a combat model. Also, what is a combat model?
