This is one of the reasons why my Rapidwinder has a rounded and "blunted" tip on the lever. Less damage to clothing and shooter. I had one customer who wanted the lever sharpened to a point so that he could use it to get through crowds. I could not condone such behavior, but he is a good customer. I solved the problem by sending him the winder and a file, he then could sharpen the leverpoint! I have heard about any punctured bystanders, so maybe he decided against it. Tom A
