I got a Socom Elite Auto last week and wasn't thrilled about the auto action. There's no really good way that I can find to grip the handle while firing w/o feeling like it'll jump out of my hand. Most other autos have the clip oriented tip up so I can stabilize the knife with my finger tips on the clip while firing but this is tip down only. Part of the reason is that it has a very strong spring and it kicks like a mule. That brings me to closing the knife. It's difficult to do one handed because the spring is so stiff.

BUT...

When it's open, it feels amazing in hand (I wear sz LG gloves) and I love the tanto blade and the philosophy behind the grind. I like the grip and blade so much I jumped on a manual being sold by a fellow member here. I plan on making this a user so a lightly fondled example for a significant discount from new was a no brainer.
