Axis locks, or locks similar to, such as Arc locks and Rolling Locks, are not only quite strong, they are quite strong consistently. Liner locks are not. Liner locks are inherently unreliable, or inherently inconsistent in their reliability, because of their design, and their manufacturing tolerances. Does one need to wait for a life threatening situation before one knows his liner lock will "hold" in stressful circumstances?
Let the owner of an Axis lock, or similar design, account for proper grip placement that will not put his fingers, or life, in jeopardy. It is considerably safer than assuming the questionable liner lock will deliver life-saving performance, and not fail under mechanical duress.
