is the pop lock one better? the bully one didnt even seem to lock well, like if u pulled on the handle hard enough it would shift the locking mechanism out of place and let u open and close it no problem

The pop lock one is pretty good it's held in by a bolt that holds the handle in place and when I pull on the handle when it's locks it feels like the handle will break before the lock
