Really great for groups. Almost like a set trigger and a fire trigger. I really like my four... ahem. Ok full disclosure, I drink the Larue coolaid.

I don't know that trigger pin walk is something anyone would be too concerned with if they're not walking the local landscape presented as a target rich environment; finding themselves actually getting concerned about running out of all the ammo they could carry every day;

I don't know that trigger pin walk is something anyone would be too concerned with if they're not walking the local landscape presented as a target rich environment; finding themselves actually getting concerned about running out of all the ammo they could carry every day; and going potentially days before a maintenance/cleaning session of their firearm. I think there is a place for anti-walks, but the run of the mill Grendel here at home isn't one I think would be necessary. Most folks like the looks, but as far as function goes, I've never heard of anyone having an issue with properly installed standard pins, on any home grown AR.

Someone may chime in, but I personally think anti-walks are another example of a solution waiting for a problem.

The benefit would be that you could build without them, and 10k rounds later, when they start to maybe move, you could spend the $30 then, and install the fix. Maybe?

(if it is a looks thing afterall, then by all means - bling away )

Maybe it’s just me. I’ve also had problems with rear site pins walking on more than one Ruger revolver

• Certain drop in triggers. Some like the JMT Saber need them. Others like Rise Armament recommend them.
  
• Polymer lowers. As already mentioned, the anti-rotation pins keep the hammer and trigger pin from rotating and moving back and forth. Those movements can wear out polymer lowers prematurly.
  
• Drop in triggers with Polymer lowers. Most drop in triggers use two set screws that press down on the floor of the lower to hold the trigger in place. This will deform a polymer lower. The fix is to use anti-rotation pins to secure the drop in trigger instead of the two set screws.
  
• Raw aluminum, such as 80% lowers. Even if the aluminum lower was anodized, where you drilled the hammer and trigger pin holes is no longer anodized. Some people feel that the lack of anodizing can cause premature wear in the hole, so they use anti-rotation pins to prevent it.
  
• Blowback ARs such as 9mm. For whatever reason these tend to elongate the hammer pin holes in a lower. Anti-rotation pins help with the issue.
  
• Messed up 80% lowers. A lot of people mess up on their 80% lowers. Using a drop in trigger with anti-rotation pins to help keep all the geomitry in place is a very common fix and can cover a multitude of sins.
