Anyone else picking one up?  I figure pistol primary is about as challenging as pump Smiley

Yeah, I never really cared much for 12grams (probably one of the minority here) so I plan on running it remote when I play pistol primary.  Might look silly but it's cheaper for me Wink

We just got one at our local shop and took it out back to test it out last week. We were getting a good 20-25 shots from each 12gm that would break easily but started slowing down after that. It worked pretty well and didn't give us any issues so far. If it would take the new first strike rounds then I would take one over the TAC8 or T9.

Got mine yesterday and played around with it in the backyard; of the two 12 grams I put through it (I only had five on hand), I got about 24 respectable shots (though granted I didn't have a chrono so I don't know exactly how fast they were going).  One thing I do like is that you can load the magazines using ten round tubes - it's far faster than loading by hand, and I probably won't have to buy the spare mags for $30 for a pair.  I'll post a more thorough opinion after playing with it this weekend Smiley
