Question About XM-18 Hinderers

[Klingsteve]

Which is "more rare" or collectable when it comes to the XM-18's: 3" or 3.5", and flippers or non-flippers? Or does it non-matter?

Thanks for the opinions!! Just trying to learn.

3" used to be more rare, but only because Rick hadn't made any in a while. I think now the 3" are more common. I think flipper is still more desirable, even though the knife doesn't really work as a flipper without flicking your wrist. Right now XM-24 is probably the one everyone is after.

I definitely see more 3.5" for sale on the exchanges, so that would lead me to believe that there are fewer 3" out there and therefore more rare. As far as flipper or non-flipper; everyone has they're own preference. I have one of each and I like the flipper for the added figure guard it provides once it's open. Not super thrilled about flipping it open.
