Torx is the best of both worlds. They just don't slip, in my experience. YMMV
:iagree:


:iagree: Me too. Phillips head strip to easliy and slotted---well they just aren't worth anything :mrgreen:
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. That said, I recently replaced the slotted screws on my 1911 grips with Allen screws. From what I've read here, I should have gone with Torx.
