The milie is plenty for LEO duty use. I've lightened my load a bit and changed out the milie/710 rotation to just a lum tanto sprint. Plenty tough while being very light and wicked sharp!

I had an accidental disengagement on my millie some time before, when I chopped a one inch diameter branch to cut it off. It was also a bit of a test and I chopped in rapid succession. I held the knife towards the butt of the handle and chopped with a loose wrist. I believe that the rapid successive impacts caused it to disengage. I was not able to replicate it though. BTW, I love millies. I have 6 of them.

Pro Tip: Do not chop with folding knives

Not to discredit your post, or to say one way or another if liner locks are reliable. Just a word of advice for new knife enthusiasts browsing these forums.

Do not chop with a folding knife. It is very dangerous and considered abuse.
 
There is only one thing on the Military that requires some care and that is the tip. Everything else is plenty strong for even rigorous use, and I speak from experience.
 
The Military's liner lock is just about perfect in my opinion. If you use the knife for cutting, I can't imagine it disengaging accidently.
I was never attracted to the frame lock variant of the Military: all this extra weight and a lock that will be similar in reliability? No thanks the normal, nimble Millie suffices.
