Anybody have opinions on these anti rotation / anti walk pins?

Elftmann anti walk

Interesting idea...  But are "walking pins" a big problem that needs fixing?  I've not had that issue before.

Not really but accessorize as you want!

This is one of those dividing-line topics. I for one like the look and redundant insurance, but will also agree that they are marketed as a solution to a problem that rarely exists.



I would suggest going with KNS rather than these. They offer a few aesthetic options, and the retention system is more robust and clean looking. Elfman copied the design used on field-repair-friendly "master links" for everything from bicycle chains to road salt/sand spreaders.

I'll second using KNS because they are the "go to" pins for 9mm AR's which are notorious for breaking hammer pins.

I've neve heard of a KNS pin failing.
