On some of them the button is quite pronounced. On a brand or two the button seems to be recessed into the body of the swivel. Then I came across the HD Magpul swivel (pics attached).
The Magpul MAG543 has it's release mechanism on the side like a pair of fingernail clippers instead of the center push button. I would think this is a better mechanism and less prone to an accidental release. Have any of you actually used the MAG543 and how did you like them? Thanks, B.

I have the traditional one button Magpuls on everything and the MAG543 on one rifle. After living with them both, I prefer the traditional, it's more intuitive as far as muscle memory. I have to slightly think about how to undo the 543, while I don't have to think about the traditional ones. I won't be putting the 543s on anything else. They work fine, like all Magpul stuff, but traditional is traditional for a reason, it's an industry standard. I've NEVER had a traditional QD sling release release accidentally. Ever.
