Solid, well-made, but unfolding is awkward - Strike Industries Stabilizer Edition FSA Single Folder

Like all Strike Industries products I've purchased, this folding pistol stabilizer is very well made of very robust materials. I chose this model over another very similar product from another company, mainly because the SI stabilizer has an aluminum strut, as opposed to plastic / polymer strut. Only thing to knock about the design is how it opens. It is not a "pull-through" type where you can just swing out the arm from the folded position. It requires you to grip the strut near the hinge "knuckle", pinching the "knuckle" between the thumb and forefinger of your left hand, with your thumb pressing down on the hinge, while your forefinger pulls up on the back of the strut. Hard to explain without video. If I intended to use this "stabilizer" on a concealed carry PCC/PDW that might need to be deployed rapidly, this would not be my first choice. BTW, as of the time I'm writhing this review (05 Oct 2024), the photo that accompanies the product description is incorrect, displaying the FSA Single Folder - Stock Edition, NOT the Stabilizer Edition.
