    HumpBack or ULE'd E/X Mag Lowers??

    Alright folks, I don't want this to become a rage against one or the other, and I'm really looking for those folks who have handled both frames. Not looking for the debate either over the Logic, Triton, etc frames. Just these 2.

    IF the HumpBack frame weighed the SAME as the ULE'd frame which would you prefer?? Talking FEEL of the frame. Even trying to avoid debating LOOKS of the frame. I'm curious as to which one FEELS better to use, to grip, to get paint on and still not be difficult to use.

    Just those 2 frames and just the FEEL/COMFORT of them.

    So what's the general population say??? And PLEASE if you've not handled both frames more than once try not to make it as one is SUPER UPZORS AGGLICIOUSLY MUPPET MOWIN BETTER than the other one.

    Thanx,

      I'm going to break your rule of not handleing both, but for good reason.

      I've barrowed a straight back e-mag a few times, and it was good. I use an intimidator (pre gen 5 so humpbacked) and I was sceptical about the humpback before I got it, and I find the hump to be more confortable for me.

      I cast my vote for humpback frames in general, just fits my hand better.

      But before anyone else says it, it dosn't matter what we say...what matters is what works for you, try some out and make your own decision. You might like the one that loses the poll better than the winner.

        Hey B Pow.... It's fine and thank you for the explanation.

        I know it's all a matter of preference. I just have found that I like the HumpBack better as well and found it odd that most of the lowers out there have been ULE'd and therefore shaved off the back side. I was just wondering why.

        Granted I do also agree that the Grip is LARGE and I have small hands.... But I wonder if there is a connection between that.

        Like the grip even ULE'd is still LARGE for those with smaller hands. So the HumpBack frame is LARGE but more comfortable for those of us with small hands because he helps fill the palm with the palm swell. Maybe those with larger hands like the ULE'd because it allows them more wrap around the frame to grip it.

        Just was wondering.

        And as I said. I've already chosen... Was just curious. I've got an ULE'd X Mag and a HumpBack EMag and I like the feel of the E better in my hand.

          The humpback would be comfortable if i had bigger hands but being only 17 my hands arent very big.

          I actually think the ule emag frame is still too big but I got over it.

            The weight difference is only 2oz or an eight of a pound.

            I have all 3 styles and like the feel of the hump just a bit more then ULE.

                  you know, im not really sure. i dont notice a difference at all when im playing. just like how my trigger is set. It doesn't matter when its game on. im going to pull it just like i would if it were a little longer or a little shorter.

                  i didnt vote

                  also mark, if you want to send those lowers back instead of mine thats cool...

                        sure just add a lump sum of alotta money ,, My hands are larger and the hump gives it more of a real gun feel for me. since the euro is alot heavier than your avrg lil whimpy pb guns

                          hump! my previous x had was ule but my current one is is a hump, i'd never change it as it is original for the marker, but i'm finding I like it more to hold each time i use it. I'm going to be ule'ing a emag i've got purely as the whole thing is knackerd so it needs a new lease of life, will still keep the hump tho! :)

                            Humpback definitely!

                            Used both, had my Xmag for a number of years. Started life as an E-mag, and upgraded the body and valve etc later on. So in short had the hump grip. Was really comfy I thought.
