Which cylinder latch do you prefer?

I guess me an OP (CSG) are the only two that like the Colts cylinder latch better.

I like the Colt style, though I've never owned one. Almost bought a DS2 some years ago, and kind of wish I had.

I'm a Smith guy all the way, but I've owned a Security Six and a GP100 and the Ruger pushbutton is a great design.

I've never had a Smith with the flat latch or the new cutaway style. The middle style is fine with me--I can't shoot magnums anymore, and the latch gives me no problems with +P .38 Special.

I have a 625-8 that I bought a SDM "sharp as tack" old style release for. The reason is because the new style is concave and smooth. I found I had to slightly rotate my hand on the grip to get it to fully release. I put the old style on and now I can keep my shooting grip on the gun at all times. It does not get in the way of the IL. For 35 bucks you cant go wrong.
