Weight and appearance are the only positives. Unless you are into iron sights. A2 irons are better really.
True slick side uppers suck for non rh shooting.
Targets or bad guys don't always came from the left Corner ahead. Assuming rh typical shooting. If you are lh you will hate slick side everything.
There are also slick side lowers, 70's 80's Colts, SP1 type variants, weaker front lugs in push pin area and no "fence" around mag release. Most have case deflector, really early ones don't.
Owned, shot them all, normal post 1983 A2 style really is my preference. Sure i have a couple 0.625 gas journal builds like my WWSD rig. Ultra light and pleasant to use.
