Craig, I don't think that changes the issue of reliability. I think the design of the BFR is a better one with that in mind. Plus, that extra long cylinder gives you a bit more critical room in the case of a crimp pull. Don't get me wrong, I love my FAs, but there are some critical flaws that I have trouble getting past. However, I do accept them as they are. JMHO.
