    Debating between the Scott Mongoose XT and Trufire Edge Foldback. Anybody have any experience with either one?

    I've shot both of them. Both OK but both got traded away.
    Of the two I liked the Truefire better.

    I currently have a Mongoose. I used a TruFire before that. Both are good. I'm not sire that one has any clear cut advantage over the other.

    I use the Trufire 360 foldback. It is a great release. I think it is a step up from the Edge. Definitely feels strong and has an adjustable trigger.

    Trufire Hardcore Max here. Also a fold back model. The fold back is a nice feature.

    Shot an edge for a while. Not a bad release. Sold it and now shoot a scott silverhorn. Miss the fold back feature somewhat. Not a deal breaker. Like the smoother trigger of the scott. The silverhorn comes with three different triggers to fit your style.

    I have a trufire fold back and really like it, no clue on the model though, I've had it for YEARS.
    It's never given me as much as a hiccup and quite honestly, never really thought about getting rid of it for another finger release.
