Just curious: how many of you use the gravity method to open? (i.e. hit the lock release as you flick)

I find it faster, but sometimes it's so fast that I mis-time releasing the lock and the blade bounces back.

For this reason I stick to a thumb-flick with a little wrist action.

But I do use gravity to close. However when I close really fast using wrist action, the front of the blade comes into contact with the rear spacer pin.

The pin has a couple of gashes in it from this. Anyone else have similar experience?
