I would highly recommend a Lifter Dave. They are just so ergonomically perfect… and fun to shoot.

They were perfect so anyone have any idea why they went to the top lever?

As Dave says, the top lever quickly became what the market wanted. If you don’t provide what the market demands your sales decline… simple.
