My duty rig is mounted in a vertical rack in my car. I was using a QD swivel attachment on the receiver plate for a few months, until last month I pulled my rifle out and slung it, only to have my weapon dumped on the ground. My QD swivel detached from the QD receiver plate! I chalked it up to a freak accident, and continued with this setup, and started checking my sling before I put my rifle in the rack daily. On 3 more occasions in the next month, when I removed my rifle from the rack, I checked the rear attachment point and discovered the push button was partially depressed and was dangerously close from coming detached from the receiver plate.
I'm not sure what brand the plate or swivel is, and I'm fairly confident its not user error. I'm not really interested in solving the issue, as i've ditched the swivels. Just sort of curious if anyone else has ever had an issue.
