Yes sir.
Before we settled on it for the latching mechanism, we stressed tested it. We did a straight pull on the latch with a 1.5 in. dia. piston. It literally showed no sign what so ever of flexing or bending. Although, if you look very closely, you will notice that we replaced the brass pivot rivet with a 1/4-20 bolt, just for good measure.
