im interseted in buying a side-arm and was wondering what the best buy is, im interested in buying the pt etreme jr, but i havent been able to find very good info on it, the most that matters to me is the accuracy, distance, and the reliability. and i do know that you wont get as much range or accuracy in a pistol as you would in a main-arm(just if you were going to say that)

I reccomend the "Zeus" series by Armotech. Go here

Ariakon has a brand new pistol out as well. The "Ariakon Combat Pistol" which is similar to the Zeus. Go here

If your are interested in a good side-arm and you have the extra cash, you should consider buying the Zeus G2. I have one and am very happy with it. Its reliable, accurate, and stylish. The only down side is that its a little heavy, but it makes it feel like a real pistol. If you have any other questions you can pm me.

Get the New ACP pistol by ariakon. It has fixed a some problems that other pistols had like zues. For example, the replacable magazine mounts. Many zues users know that the mag mounts on the zues tend to ware and break after a while. You can replace them on the ACP. They ACP also has various barrel inserts to match paint, therefore creating better accuracy. This is some of the features. This all for about the same price as the zues.  I am not trying to dis the zues though, before the ACP came out in my opinion the zues was the best pistol ever made.

PGP... nothing beats the original stock class pistol. If you absolutely need a semi pistol, get a Zeus G2+!

BTW, Lock your polls!!!

If you want a great pistol get a Palmer Squall (pistol size version of the Typhoon) or Palmer Pug (think PGP on steroids). I've been using my Squall as my main gun for some time now. My Squall has the same range as my cocker with better accuracy than my cocker. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for. Here are the links   Squall Pug

Here is a pic of my Squall

The Zeus is my favorite, but I don't know that much about the ACP. If pump is OK, the PGP is an awesome marker.

Slimz.357 actually that is a ram. The lpr is on the other side and the 3-way is in the grip frame. The Squall uses a automated cocking system that is identical to the Typhoon, and similar to the cocker. It fires from a closed bolt position.

Those Palmer guns look sick. I want to get the typhoon. Maybe when I finish upgrading my cocker and have a little extra crash around.

The Ariakon pistol looks great, I want one of those too.

I use a pistol and if you want the best then get a PPS Squall or Pug. Trust me they are UNBELIEVEABLE. But they are expensive. I have a PPS Squall and I have a Delta .68, the Delta .68 can't even come close to the performance of my Squall. If you don't have a whole lot of money the Delta .68 is decent enough, but if you want a pistol you can use as your main gun then get a Squall or Pug. Since I have gotten my Squall I haven't hardly even touched my cocker. My friend has a stock class Phantom and we both have stock class harnesses and we have saved a lot of money playing this way. It is pretty sad though when people complain to the ref's that we need to be split up cause we work so well together as a team and are able to mop up on our opponents who are carrying every wonder gun you can imagine. I guess it depends on what you are really wanting to use the pistol for, if you just want a sidearm, get a Zeus, a Delta .68 or something like that. If you want a pistol you can use as your main gun get a PPS Squall or Pug. Goodluck with your choice.
