Wartstein thank you for asking for this photo and Deacon thank you for being gracious enough to provide it.
More striking to see those side by side.
It'll be interesting to see how the PM2 LW (Eric is working on) fits into the equation.
Glad it´s usefull to you (and hopefully others), that's wath I was aiming for when asking Paul for the pics (he kindly provided then).
For me a possible PM2 LW, while VERY similar dimension and probably weight-wise, wouldstill have some distincticve differences to the Straight Spine Stretch, so one almost should get both to decide which one he or she likes better...
In short (PM2 vs Staight Spine Stretch)
- Thicker stock vs thinner stock
- Comp.lock vs backlock
- less grip area vs more grip area (I think XXL and bigger hands will find the Stretch more comfortable??)
- a bit shorter choil vs more generous choil
- edge profile: Countionous curve vs rather long perfectly straight section before the belly
- well, and just different ergos...
I personally probably prefer the Stretch in most, if not all aspects, but there is no "better" or "worse" of course, just personal preferences
Top three going by pocket-time: Endura 4 in VG 10/Micarta-scales; Stretch 1 in VG 10; Endura 4 in HAP 40
