My thoughts too, and nice to carry. They aren't as bad or "dangerous" to unload as others make them out to be as well.

My ruger ranch has detachable flush 5 round mags. I love it, I carry a spare mag in my pocket. It doesn't dig into my shoulder when carrying, 5 rounds is a bit better than a 3 round floorplate - and I can pop in another mag real quick or run supers vs subs in different mags if I want. I don't like how the new ruger ranch's use those big AR style mags.

My savage model16 in 22-250 has a flush msg which I like as easy to carry. My .308 is a single shot break open so easy to load. I'm not a fan of floor plates either to me they just seem agricultural
