really it seems to me like their making a step in the same direction smart parts did...though im curious how performance has been lowerd on this version, and if it is going to be able to be upgraded highly...

ions are like mustangs...alot of people have them but not many know how to use them...

You can change the feedneck, reg, barrel, and you can UL it and put on a new trigger. What other ups do you need?

seems nice...though im not diggin the grip, not the UL grips...i never liked 45s too much...i like 90s...keeps the grip more so out of my way...and sets the tank forward more...but im liking it over all...brings more of a diversity to the market...now ion wont be alone...

If the rubber stuff can be removed you should be able to dye it black.  The grey rubber stuff is my only dislike.

Looks good to me.  The downgrade in body construction quality is apparent, but its $400 so hey, whatever.  It brings more to the market as well, so it's a good thing.  I just hope if it becomes popular, its for a good reason, and not just because everyone and the uncle owns one.

it does look good but i doubt it will have any real impact on the ion selling rate bc its twice the price. also idk how well it will do with new markers, like the invert mini, coming out and only being msrp at $450. (and the new rumored SP "epiphany", an all metal better ion based platform marker that is rumored to be 300-500 dollar range). personally i think the only thing that it has going for it is a name brand.

me keeps both Impulses and waits for things to pan out so I can make the next choice so I can officially say I have a collection.

short list;

ion

cocker

I may be up for a rail when used ones flood the market.

^^Get rid of the imp fast

cause when the rail is avaliable used, you wont get anything for the imp

ive been trying to bail from the sinking boat for a while now, guess i shouldnt be as picky
