If you must save the 3-4 dollars over the Positron screwgate, then get these. Not anodized like the positron is, so they smell like raw aluminum in your hand (not a big deal). For the price you can't go wrong, but consider something with a keylock nose. I also bought a positron and it is almost identical, except for the anodized finish and the nose (they're pretty much the same weight). Gate action and lock is as smooth as any BD I've used. If you really want to spend the money, go for the super-light vaporlock, but this or the positron will do just fine otherwise.
