Does it really matter?
I'm more for it than against it but with the speed I can load an AK mag and rack the bolt, to me it doesn't seem that a bolt catch will be any more help.
It seems ideal for close quarters fighting but if you take a look at other groups like the Russian swat teams or spetznas, they all use an AK of sorts which don't have a bolt catch and button. I assume they don't care for it.
So is it a matter of taste or necessity?
