Decent, with one flaw - Strike Industries AR15 Shift Pins

So, overall, I found the SHIFT pins to be a pretty solid product. Normally for installation of the pivot pin, I use a Wheeler tool with a clevis pin to install the spring and detent. It's a helpful "cheat" that makes installation a lot easier than using just your hands. The SHIFT pins eliminate the need for that tool.

I didn't find the design especially helpful for the takedown pin, however, which I found still required regular installation. Not the end of the world, but something to consider.

The one flaw that I see with these pins is that the 90-degree angled channel which allows for turning the pins to make for easier installation/uninstallation creates a bit of a hang-up point when popping them in and out. With an upper installed, this is less of a problem, but even there, they can hang up just a bit.

I don't regret buying them, but I'm not sure I'd buy them again. I'm giving this a soft "yes" on the "Would you recommend this product?" If you (A) don't want to buy a separate tool to make pivot pin installation easier, and/or (B) think you might uninstall pins at some point in the future, these are a good buy. If you already have a pivot pin installation tool, I think these are fairly unnecessary, especially for the price.

One other thing: the finish is basically milspec phosphate, in case matching finish matters to you.
