the grip is aluminum, the body is composite, lightweight... not your everyday plastic

Nice try at bending the facts but its still plastic and if you look around the good guns out there (even the lower end ones) are not made of plastic.

easy way to prevent this, don't be an idiot

again this proves the cheap quality of manufacturing. A good quality gun doesn't leave important parts hanging out fully exposed so they can easily break.

still waiting

You won't be waiting to long take a look around people are already complaining about having solnoid trouble. The gun is to new but soon enough people will start to have random noid blow outs just like they did with the shocker and the Impy

The ION reg is junk and constantly creeps the Ion also is known for randomly blowing hoses..proof again of the trashy quality of this gun.

Wouldnt that last problem be more inline with the regs being set too high after assembly ?

Standard practice is to turn down regs anyway when you get a new gun.

i have been burned by smart parts way too many times on their "top of the line" products to even begin to consider buying an ion. for the same price id rather get a gun that i KNOW will ALWAYS work, hence why i own automags.

It's the same reason those grips with nekkid chicks are made. It's marketed to the sprouting hormone driven kids who couldn't recognize a good grip from a hustler page.

PMI isn't the only company. People need to actually start researching and not just sticking to the latest colorful ad.



because things like the DM5 and the angels arent made to look good and "Extreme", have you ever taken a look at the marker gallery? a majority of the markers are colorful.  And ones that arent are made to look "extreme"  You dont have to buy an ion if you dont want to, but why trash a marker that is making speedball open to more players?

sorry if this is the part of your post you wanted me to quote
