have any of you experienced a 4x series bali not latch up tight after some years of use?

i was wondering if the titanium might statrt to wear from the latch when locking it over the years thereby making the lock up loose....

thanks for your input....

No significant issues in that area on any of my Ti handled ballies.

A bit looser, yes - too loose, no.

Wear on the latch would be Ti on Ti, I think, so should be minimal. More likely would be the steel tang pins digging into the Ti handle pockets.

I can happen overtime. Will take LOTS of latching/unlatching though.

Ive been told that usually about three hours and fifteen minutes you should notice considerable slop in the latch. Razzer
