I run an washers on my HalfTrack Gen.2
It is one of my best flippers and I don’t feel the need of the more « robust » pivot system on this size of knife
i have had an XM-18 3.5 with the tri-way system and I have not been convinced
It was intended to be a user but the action was good only on bearings and IMO not acceptable for the price I paid on the other systems
Disclaimer: Please note that is only based on my experience on one particular model !
I got a second hand non-flipper XM-18 gen.4 on PB washers and it is great
i think my conclusion would be that the pivot system is good, but I am not a fan of the flipper on the XM-18![]()
That is my experience with the XM-18 tri-way system, too. I had three, and they only flipped worth a damn if you installed bearings, which feels contrary to the idea of owning a Hinderer in the first place.i have had an XM-18 3.5 with the tri-way system and I have not been convinced
