I have a side lock and an inline. I hunt with both. I am the last hold out in my group to get an inline.
My thing with a traditional side lock is that I am starting to notice I am having a hard time seeing the front blade in low light.
I took my son out for muzzle loader season for the first time last year. He is 14. I taught him how to load both and shoot both. He has told me he likes the side lock more.
