So, guess what I just bought?

I can agree with that. That thing gave me some trouble...

I would have personally waited for the new Tippmann TPX. I'm most definitely going to get one. It's essentially the same thing as a Tac-8, being internally regulated and magazine fed, but it will be cheaper, and eliminates the flaws with the Tac-8. CO2 isn't contained in the mag, so mags will be MUCH cheaper, and reloading is much simpler.

We are looking forward to the new TPX pistol.   In the past, their has been a big problem with the quality of paintball pistols.  I think this has been due to a few reasons.  Players assume that a pistol should cost less than a full size paintball gun. Unfortunately this is not the case.  Paintball pistols require more technology (paint magazines and 12 gram adapters),  They are also made in much smaller quantities than regular paintball guns.  This means that if you want the same quality as a regular paintball gun, the price is much higher.  With the general expectation that a "back-up" gun should cost less, most paintball pistols have been low quality. 
Since the TPX pistol is made by Tippmann, we have great hopes for it being a very high quality paintball pistol.  Tippmann made and Tippmann Warranty = a paintball pistol which will put all othe paintball pistols to shame. 

Pistols as "sidearms", may not be for everyone. I carry several pistols when I play(actually pistols are all that I use most of the time), if you want to carry one then do so. If you choose to carry a pistol, you MUST practice with the pistol on a regular baisis so that it's use and reloading is second nature.
