Which do you prefer between the push-button/straight insertion magazine releases vs. the flapper/rock-lock magazine release? I think it's summed up like this:
Push-button Pros:
Easily released without moving hand from firing position
Magazines drop free
Magazines insert faster
Cons:
Magazine is not held as securely as the flapper sytle
Magazine release is not ambidextrious (sp?)
Flapper release pros:
Magazine is held in very securely
Ambidextrious operation
Flapper cons:
Rock-Lock is a bit akward in comparison to straight insertion
Magazines can get jammed if not inserted at the right angle
Rock-lock is a bit slower
