Forward Controls Design LDFA

[Duffy]

Thank you :) I look at the LW and super LW movement with mixed feelings. Some are attempt at reducing weight while maintaining versatility and reliability, some appear to be engineering exercises to see what can be achieved, no matter the cost.

There's nothing wrong with these exercises, they're not for me but they're not meant to be for everyone.

When a design adds a feature but also either adds a problem, or remove another feature in so doing, I drop the design. The benefits must outweigh the shortcomings, or there is little point in it. Not everyone sees things that way though.

The LDFA's rimless design reduces its plunger face's surface area, so it's not without any compromise. In view that many of use don't use the FA, its reduced surface area is deemed acceptable, especially when the reduced area doesn't impart any real difference when in use.
