Dude, your Z-grip mag is freakin' rad!!!!! Don't ever sell that baby! I have my own Z-Grip mag with retro valve and let me tell you it is rockin. I look forward to all the unusual stares I will get for having a gun that goes against the crowd. Lately I have been handling other 45 style grips and they just don't seem right anymore. Its really true that the Z-grip gets you tucked in tighter.

For a while I thought about getting an Emag...then maybe holding out for an Extreme, but I just like my mag so much I will keep it, and if I like what the X-treme mill looks like, I will definitely want one of those for it. Keep your mag, unless it's giving you trouble, then send it in, and when you'll get it back, you'll be glad you kept it!

i voted go retro, but if the mag is still too slow (which i say becuase of the hard trigger pull that some dont like) or you just really want a cocker, get the gen-x 3. those things are really light, pretty and overall sweet, they have one of the best slide triggers ive felt, its just a really nice cocker for 650$

Gen x 3 cocker, retrovavles cost way to much for a simple upgrade. Angel leds are really kinda shody.

Why do you want to sell the mag?

If you decide to get a cocker, get the GX3, it's a better deal than the STO.

Have you tried the retro valve. I dont know but i love it cause for some reason, i'd rather use a retromag then an angel. This trigger pull is so smooth, it's like your pushing air. I swear you gotta try it. But with the z grip you'll rip. I say get the retro and it aint a simple upgrade, it's an awesome upgrade

get whatever gun and still keep this one. it's always good to have a backup. especially a mag.

Uhmm...when you get a RetroValve, you're basically getting an entirely new gun. All the important parts/moving bits (other than the sear & trigger) are replaced. And you might still change the sear (as one is included with the RetroValve). In addition, your Mag's performance increases dramatically. So I would hardly call a RetroValve a 'simple upgrade', other than in the sense that it's easy to install.

Additionally, assuming you keep your AIR valve, you can always switch back to CO2 if compressed air isn't available to you for whatever reason.

Get retro!

Your vertical z-mag is sweet, I would love to have one just like it.

dude, dont do what other people say. if u play good and like your gun keep it and throw a retro on it and it will kick azz. i had a retro z grip and loved it. id go and shoot all the guns u are lookin for and see what u like best etc.

I too have a Z-grip with Retro it Rocks. The best thing I've done to my gun. (Besides maybe an nitro system) The trigger is super short and very snapy. You may chop a few times to start out with but once you get the hang of it that wouldn't be a problem. Of your choices I won't get the Angle LED I've hear they arn't that great, between the cockers Gen X 3 all the way if you don't get the Retro. My two cents. :)
