Default 645 convert to non ambi safety

Does anyone know where I can get the parts necessary to convert my ambi safety 645 to left side only?

Not anymore.
Years ago Ed Brown offered a left side only lever but it was discontinued about 20 years ago.

Hmm, maybe a CS45 single side decocker/safety? I’ve seen the “stainless” ones for sale on GB and also EBAY. (@ $50.00.)

But it seems to me if I’m remembering correctly I couldn’t successfully change out my CS45’s with other 45 ones.

If I have some time I can try my CS45 one in my 645 but hopefully someone else can answer this before I have, (get,) to.

Simplest method is to remove the screw and right side lever. Doing so does not create any issues. It's not pretty, but it works, just be sure to keep the lever and screw, you might want to put it back on one day.

The "new" 45 safeties (CS45, 457, TSW) are wider than the "older" 45 safeties (with the clearance "notch" on the right side of the slide).
