Anybody using these pins? Are they better than the standard ones? Thanks.

I had them. I really can't suggest them if your a person who is constantly separating the upper and lower. I do since I like to change up the configuration of my uppers, swap lowers, and I separate them so they'll fit in my gun cases.

The thing is, is that those suckers are in there tight. And you have to push on the button from the right side, and push the against the button on the left side. It was very awkward. IMO it sounded like a good idea but turned out to be a bad one in reality. I got them because they sounded easier to manipulate then the regular pins, that is wrong. The only good thing about the KNS pins (specifically the front pivot pin) is no flying spring or detent. Once the springs and detents are in there, the KNS pins offer no real advantages to to regular pins.

I agree with Josh3239. KNS pins are a complete waste of money. I had one in my pre-ban Colt, but I hated it and went back to using the screw in pivot pin.
