1911 Ambidextrous Thumb Safety vs single side

One of my favorite 1911's to shoot of all things is a Stainless Taurus, Right after I got it I noticed the thumb safety on the off/right side did not work,, I replaced it with a Wilson combat, now after about 1 1/2 years of shooting, the Wilson safety has done the exact same thing,,The off side goes up and down it just does not move the working side...Is there any reason why I could not just go back with an original style single left side thumb safety and do away with this Ambidextrous BS ? if so is there a better name brand to buy ? I just normally use Wilson since they are about an hour up the road

Dang,never heard of that happening. Can't wait to hear the answer.
agreed.
I got a Taurus 1911 and this is not an issue but I haven't shot it THAT much either.
