+1. Especially with how dirty the boot of the MCS gets as a result of its aerodynamics, I try to avoid touching the paint as much as possible. Also for me that inside handle honestly feels like the most natural and arguably easiest way of closing it.

This was my MA's advice, and it hasn't failed me yet. I'm in and out of the boot multiple times each day.

Me too; sometimes the latch ring. One good tug and it slams home.
Maybe our group needs a fitness program?
