Well, one advantage of a slotted is that if you're in the field and don't have a screw driver, you can use the case rim on a spent round to unscrew a slotted screw.

From what I've read here, I should have gone with Torx.jocat54 wrote:WildBill wrote:Pawpaw wrote:I've never had a Torx screwdriver slip and scratch anything. I can't say the same thing about flat or Phillips screws.
Torx is the best of both worlds. They just don't slip, in my experience. YMMV
