Hah! Is chainsuck a design problem then? I've suffered it in spades on the Fargo with its XD2 and, after the last episode where it jammed so hard it permanently twisted the chain and bent the outer ring 30*, I had one of those catch-chain devices installed. I've not had this problem, to this extent,with any other double or triple. (The XD2 has a 38 in middle and the 24 granny.)
