Topic: How hard is it to fit a thumb safety?

I am considering installing a thumb safety on my firearm, but I'm not sure how difficult it will be to fit it myself. Can anyone who has experience with this provide some insights or tips on the process? Is it something that can be done by someone with basic mechanical skills, or should I seek the help of a professional gunsmith? Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Installing a thumb safety shouldnt be a big deal. If you cant handle it, maybe gun ownership isnt for you. Safety should come first, even if it takes some effort.

Installing a thumb safety is a piece of cake for anyone with basic mechanical skills. If you struggle with it, maybe consider taking up a different hobby. Lifes too short for easy tasks to be a big deal.

Installing a thumb safety is childs play. If you cant handle that, maybe you shouldnt be handling a firearm at all. Safety should come before convenience.

Seems like people are making a big fuss over installing a thumb safety. If you cant handle that, maybe stick to Nerf guns. Safety first, right?

Installing a thumb safety should be a basic skill for all gun owners. If you cant handle that, should you really be trusted with a firearm? Safety should come first, always.
