Has anyone here used a Promag safety for a Mossberg 500?
I installed one but now I'm basically getting 3 positions for the safety. Safe acts as normal, then it clicks into a spot that looks like it should be on fire but is still actually on safe, move the safety another 1/8" and it's on fire. During firing the safety will slide back that 1/8" from fire into the fire/safe condition. Should this replacement safety be used with the detent plate? I've tried flipping and rotating the plate and even installing the safety without the plate. The installation instructions are basically non-existant.
Here are some pics of the promag button lined up with the original detent plate. You can see that the detent spacing is off on one side.
