For some reason the QD with my son's Colt rail has to be tapped a little to get it to seat in the socket. I'm thinking, if one does the above, it will wear itself in. Once it seats though, there's no getting it out without pushing the button, no matter how hard you pull.

I will admit that I have a few QD mounts on some of my ARs. I like the convenience of using them and have never had one fail, although I am sure it is just a matter of time until one gives way. Some of you may say that I am not pushing my guns hard enough...
Not to hijack the thread, but that's how I feel about "tactical" charging handles.

"Traumatic experience?" (not addressed at any one guy) Really? It's not a dollhouse nor a collector's item. Good lord, guys. You ought to hear yourselves.

QD sockets in limited rotation sockets need to be turned, then pushed & pulled, because of limited rotation feature.
This!
I had my *loaded* rifle drop and hit the deck muzzle first....right In front of LAV. It was connected by a "clasp" by a manufacturer with a name longer than 3 letters. I was more worried about LAV throat punching me for letting my rifle fall than I was about my pretty rifle.
Oh, and I also learned a few other things:
1) the attachment point failed due to user error (didn't check to make sure the clasp was completely locked in)
2) the rifle was just fine
3) never try to catch a loaded gun (luckily I didn't and just let it fall to the ground)
4) if I had been fiddling around with my gun and caused it to fall, and then tried to catch it, I'm sure I would have swiftly received that throat punch!
I've never had a QD socket fail me in multiple classes and training evolutions. Different brands of rails/sockets/stocks. Always BF slings.
