You might ask the same about just any feature from an AD forearm to a crossbolt or double triggers etc. There does not seem to be just one way to skin a cat.

FWIW, I notice that I find side-to-side play on slightly loose guns more often than I find up-down play. I only have one side clip gun and it's not loose at all, but that's not enough data to play with.

Anyway, I'd be interested to know if side-to-side play is more common than up-down and if side clips might be correlated (negatively) with that.
