When I offer gun-smithing advice, you must all remember that I'm about as good at gun-smithing as I am at rocket science. Nevertheless I'll stand by my statement that my older 37 has a tab on the back of the trigger that is not present on the newer ones.

That tab is what prevented my insertion of the lefty safety in place of the righty. I never took anything apart on the guns to do it, just depressed the detente, pulled one safety out and stuck the other in. Worked in the new model didn't in my older gun...Geo
