ambidextrous safety so you can operate it from either the left or right side.

It's an "anti-walk pin" they prevent the hammer and/or trigger pins from moving or falling out.

correction, it's the useless "anti-walk pin" they prevent the hammer and/or trigger pins from moving or falling out.

Why do people why the anti walk pins, if your pins dont walk in the first place?

When I built my Stag lower with a PSA LPK the trigger pin was walking out of the hole. I checked pin alignment with the hammer spring multiple times but for some reason the spring in the groove was not enough to keep the pin from walking itself out thus allowing the trigger to cam slightly sideways. That is why I bought KNS pins. I could have got the DPMS pins with the C clips I suppose.
