    Tom: I have a suggestion about the Z-Grips

    Hi Tom,

    I've always thought that the Z-grip was a unique and clever design that was under-appreciated by the paintball community.

    I have an Idea that may change the perception of the Z-Grip among the non-mag-owning paintballing masses.

    Make Z-Grips for other guns.

    Simple really; people dont understand Zgrips because they're foreign to everyone except mag owners (apart from Manike and his crazy Z-Bushy).

    Obviously, you'd want to target those types of gus that have a relatively simple firing system; I'd recommend Impulses, Shockers, Spyders, Piranahs(sp?), Impulses, Bushies, etc.

    I think Centerflag have the right idea with their Hyperframes; sell a good product for as wide a range of guns as possible.

    Benefits:

    1. Gives quality AGD products to a new, untapped audience.
    2. Makes you some money.
    3. You're the sole supplier of a unique differentiated product. No competition.
    4. Relatively simple to create the different versions; most of the design is already done.

    Am I making any sense?

    Let me know what you think.

    Cheers.

      Tom, these little info leaks are the best
      Dunno if i'll get one for my angel though, just doesn't seem like it's right. But who knows, if it turns out good, maybe I'll go for it.

        i would def. get one for my angel, i was gonna suggest that in the threadm but your already ahead of me, the only problem i see with that is, the fact that the angel is not a light gun, i dunno if that really makes a difence, but hey if u want to test one, i would be happy to:)
        :)


        good luck

          YES! YES! YES!

          I've always wanted a Z-Grip on my Angel, do you have any idea what the price would be like on them?

                    BUT, if yuor sig is correct your using a LED

                    remember those use different grip frames, will the Z grip fit an LED or SE?

                    i wanna know
                    also will they have regular angel grip screws?

                    i wanna know!!!
                    :)


                    i also wanna know if they will be for the se and led

                    Cliff

                    what i kinda meant by that is i am sure your gonna make them for LCD's but will you make them for LED's and SE's as well

                      That really hurts!!!!!

                      Your killing me!!!! Z-Grips for Angels but not for the Emag I love my Zgrip so much that it's the only thing preventing my from getting an Emag. Guess that I'll have to go out and buy a zgrip Angel to help increase the demand for the zgrip in the hope of it trickling down to the Emag. Too bad I wont play with the Angel :)

                          Well, I've got an LCD too, I just use the LED because the LCD is kinda in pieces, but I'll just have to put it back together and start usin that one.

                            Actually, this suggestion has been mentioned by many people ages ago. Ken from K&P Customs has made them for many different guns. If i remember, he made a P grip for (he made them as Pgrips, way back.....) F4 Illustrator, cocker, angel, and I dont remember what else...
