Has the debate on rail attachment options ended yet or is there yet to be a clear winner?

Pretty hard to argue with that. I like the M-LOK but I bet you won't ever see it or a keymod attachment on the bottom of a pistol.

This.

If I were to buy something other than a quad rail, it'd be M-Lok. I just don't trust Keymod. YMMV.

Yup.

clear winner is 1913, until the Mil chooses differently.

I'm a Magpul fan, so I use M-Lok mostly.

I didn't have any Keymod or large cheeze-grater rails so it makes sense for me, plus I can add pic-rail anytime I need it.

Has the universal rail attachment method of 10-32 screws and rails can be placed every 45 deg.

I'm sure there will be a new kid on the block with yet another "better" attachment method any day now.  VHS and Betamax duked it out to only be replaced by DVD, then Blu Ray, etc.

Frankly, Scarlett, I dont give a damn.  I do like modular and being able to eliminate rail slots that will never be used.  But, my atachment method is to use removable mini-Picatinny rails only where needed, and to stick to universally accepted Picatinny based accessories, usually in QD mounts.  Ditch the wasted unused rail slots, but don't throw the baby out with the bath water.  Picatinny works.
