    those are good points and valid concerns. but i think that progress and product develop should not be halted for fear of change.
    i think that if you use an M4 for a living (LE or mil), and are only allowed a particular configuration on a duty weapon, then it makes sense to keep your personal weapon the same.
    for folks who don't have that concern, then it's up to them.
    products like the magpul BAD, bad-ass or KAC E3 lower are non-standard, and change the way you manipulate the controls on the M4, but that doesn't stop those manufacturers from constantly innovating .

    as a lefty, i've been waiting for a long time for the AR platform to become more ambidextrous, and it's slowly happening. as more people (both left and right handed) realize the advantages of being able to operate the weapon with either hand, the more these features will eventually become the standard.

    also, i think that people are able to adapt. it doesn't take too long to re-familiarize yourself when you change weapons, if you're used to that sort of thing. if i'm shooting my glock a lot, then switch to a 1911 or BHP, i might sometimes forget to flip off the safety the first couple of times. after that, it becomes natural again for the rest of the time. what your LE officer is issued a glock for duty, but is then issued an M9 when he does his military deployment?

    i sometimes shoot an AK, FAL or HK instead of an M4, and all those are pretty different in terms of manipulation etc. however, i find that if i've keep practiced enough with each of them to get familiar with how they're supposed to be operated, it doesn't take long to re-acquaint myself again.

    Well i would have to disagree about it being a three gun competition tool, as a tool that will keep a gunfighter in the fight and help him deal with malfunctions a lot quicker i would pick the whole A-DAC lower over the KAC any day. I have used the KAC and the A-DAC lowers quality are the same, but now we have a platform that can get rid of a problem that i think the original M4 platform was not able to fix for the right handed shooter until now(having to give up the strong hand grip for remedial action).
    The Bad Lever is a piece of metal that you attached to your bolt catch that runs in front of your trigger and is held by a little screw, can you really say that you would want to have that in a combat environment? something that might come loose and bump your trigger, instead of something that remains internal?

    what you asked earlier about immediate (FTE or FTF) brother that is just and immediate action, when you have to deal with remedial action is when this tool allows you to get the gun back into action faster that any lever out there. you use the same lever to lock the bolt to the rear and then you use it to release the magazine to clear the chamber.
    A bolt over ride is a little different, you wont be able to lock the bolt to the rear until you remove that spent casing. a gerber would probably be the best tool available for that problem, we use it to push the bolt carrier to the rear and allow that spent casing out.

    I'm having a hard time figuring out how this helps the competition shooter at all, frankly. I suppose we all want to be able to clear malfunctions quickly and that is a constant regardless of application but I would think that if one has a doublefeed and is really at that high a level of competition their standings for that stage are going to be drastically hurt, and their overall standings at least impacted. and I am not sure that the 10-20% time reduction this device offers is really going to change that.

    I have heard the BAD lever referred to as a "competition" device as well, which makes even less sense and even more exposes the ignorance of competition shown by the person saying/posting it.

    This new lower in the configuration being discussed here is all about reducing the time it takes to resolve a doublefeed, and allowing for a safer SOP when clearing the gun. If you find one of these lowers in your hands and are not familiar with the way it works, you can still use your old SOP for everything.

    Looks promising.... Wonder if it's worth the price. It's basically a built in B.A.D. Lever right
