Stabilizer vs sidewinder

[Quickling]

Which was your preferred old school reg? I always ran sidewinders because I liked the rotating fitting collar and the different length offerings.

But now I kind of prefer the stabilizer for no other reason than the had more color options.

I vote Sidewinder.

I've had too many Stabs creep on me to not recommend a Sidewinder.

A quick disassemble/clean/reassemble has always fixed the Stab but it's taken too many guns down for the day for me to really use them too much.

But... it's far easier to find a Stab in the used market than a Sidewinder.

I was just thinking about this yesterday as I'm about to get my cocker body back and gonna start getting it buttoned up

They're both fairly simple looking, but I like the Sidewinder, especially in the shortest form. Stabs are cool but too long. Sidewinders are also very easy to maintain.

ill be the weirdo and say STABILIZER!
allegedly "better for c02" and only slightly less consistent "once broken in" according to a bunch of testing videos i watched a long time ago.
i dig the longer reg body and i like the higher up input ports than across the bottom style.
imo looks more old school and even though its super rare, when you screw one in and the ports line up perfectly, theres few better feelings!
cheaper and more plentiful than sidewinders too
disagree on the "more color options" since most sidewinders ive seen have been match annoed
