The Black Diamond website says the gate opening for the screwlock Positron is 21mm, or 0.73 inches. It's rated at 25 kN, and weighs 56g., or 2 oz. The stock is definitely smaller than the ISC MM.

I'm with Skwerly on this one...bigger than about 16 inches, I can't see enough side load to make a significant difference, though under 6 inches I'd be thinking hard about it. I'm sure I'm also outdone in the mathmatics department by Sean, or almost anyone else, so my opinion is less than...
