While I own a good deal of BD biners, I have two DMM lockers, and the gate action always feels smoother than the BDs. Just an observation. Maybe it's all in my head. Regardless, BD and DMM both make awesome gear.

I totally agree with you! While I admit to being a BD zealot for most of my gear, I have found DMM biners have a much better gate action. I switched out my locking biners last year for Shadows, and in no way is that depressing.
