    Tom I need Help

    I have a problem and really need some help. I looking at an E-mag. ( I love the Gun ) The only problem is the trigger frame. I need it to be Left Handed. I have played a couple of times with a vertical feed E-mag, but the switchs are on the wrong side for someone left handed. I called airguns but they don't offer a trigger frame that is for a left handed person. I love the Gun and would buy one today if I could make it left handed. I know you may think that this isn't a big problem, but if you move the switch any the gun doesn't shoot, and for someone left handed your hand sits right on the switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Daniel Gleason

      I'm left handed and I use an E-Mag. I also know there are a lot of other people out there that use the E-Mag and are left-handed. In all honesty, your hand doesn't disturb the switch. I guess it depends on how you hold the gun. What I do is I use the far back position so the selector switch is pointed straight back for E-Mode and straight forward for Manual Mode. You could also build a different selector switch so it's not as easy to bump. Either way, it's not that big of an issue. You'll learn to play and not disturb it.

      I will say that building a left handed trigger frame is just not economical. There are no "true left" paintball guns on the market. It's just something we have to deal with.

                  Sorry Daniel, we just don't do the volume to be able to afford left handed versions.

                              Well consider it this way ... only 15 out of every 100 people are left handed ... you're part of a minority.

                              I, however, am a rightie

                                  Well I really want an e-mag but if there isn't a way to make it left handed. I guess I'll hae to buy something else. I know there really aren't any left handed gun on the market, but there are several left handed freindly gun. (impy, angel, B2k, Timmies) just to name a few. It's really to bad. I've been shooting a mag or RT Pro for years now. and really like the guns, I just need to go to an eletric marker. Thanks Tom. Maye someday you'll see the light of having a more user friendly gun.

                                      How do you think all of the people that are left handed and have E-Mags get by? Obviously they don't have problems because you are the FIRST person to complain about it. It's really not that BIG of an issue.

                                          Black brings up a good point:
                                          I'm left handed and I use an E-Mag. I also know there are a lot of other people out there that use the E-Mag and are left-handed.

                                              Yea I don't want him whinnin about it latter cause he's wrong handed! Seriously it fits both sides of my hands as it is now.


                                              Actualy and kind of a different point on this is I would just like to see the display over on the other side (right side of grip which normaly would wrong) for us right handed "Warpers". So I can see the thing well. The Warp blocks its view now. But no biggy.

                                                      "right" handed people are obviously far superior to you "lefties"...thats why,when ever something is true,or correct,they say "right"...b/c we are always "right"...

                                                      AND....you should never not have a gun b/c its "right handed"....since if you were a "good" paintballer,you know how to shoot "lefty",and "righty"...
