I have QD point right where the receiver and free float rail meet at and have one at the rear of the receiver at the castle nut.
You were referring to the 12-2 o' clock of the side arm correct?
The rails are aluminum and anodized hard coat, rust isn't an issue with them. Barrels have a phosphate coating which helps prevent rust but if some crude like dirt or mud gets under the hand guards, its in a corrosive atmosphere (humid or salty mainly), then you may want to take off the hand guards and give it a cleaning and light wipe down with some oil but it really isn't much an issue.
Those are the two I use. Tried a couple other ways and didn't like them as much.
Yeah if your sidearm is holstered around 12-2 (or 10-12 as well) such as appendix carry then bringing the rifle straight down can cause it to be in the way of drawing the pistol. More an issue if your caught with a CC set up since pretty much every rifle set up doesn't have the pistol that far forward.
Luck is awesome. The more proficient you are at what you do the luckier you seem to be.
