My point is, I discovered the joy of mags to late so I missed out on Z-Grips. Please bring them back.
Thank You, Jordan Coffey

You mean a lot of cut and pasting...

I'd love to see a grip which you could rotate in play from normal 45 to a z-grip style... that would be soo cool and give you the best of both worlds and playing styles when needed!

Finally

I have been preaching for the Z-Grip to be brought back forever. It is the best grip frame ever made. Please, bring it back!

[FooTemps]

I don't have a pb marker to put the z-grip on but BRING IT BACK! I'll buy it regardless! Maybe that will convince my parents...

[Temo Vryce]

Bring it back or else we'll all buy cockers and sell our mags.

No, really we'll do it. Ok, I'm bluffing but please bring it back.

I would buy a ZGrip for my 68 if I could find one I prefer not using the RT version.

[Muzikman]

Seeing as there still seems to be quite a few floating around at local proshops. I don't see the reason to bring it back until they are all gone. Tom also had a good point. He told where to get quite a few Zgrips (From Diablo) and if I am not mistaken they still have at least one left. Now, I think that is they where made available online people would snatch them up quicker than if you have to call someone. For some odd reason people are afraid to use the phone these days

[Potatoboy]

I recall Tom posting something about killing the Zgrip because of the simple fact that they have only just recently sold the last of the initial and only production run. (If you count the ones they found.) I believe he said that that initial run took a few years to completely sell, whereas the first run of intelliframes took a matter of weeks. I think it's a simple case of people putting their money where their mouth is. Perhaps many people who are very interested in purchasing a Zgrip do not purchase it when they have the chance? Maybe these same people merely think that the idea is novel, but aren't interested enough it purchasing the grip.

On a personal note: I have an RTPro that I recently installed an Intelliframe on. I have held a mag with a Zgrip before and I personally did not find it very comfortable for my tastes. I do however find the Intelliframe to feel superior than the stock frames on Automags and the RTPros. I do however have one complaint about the Intelliframe. On my stock RTPro frame there was a small recessed area for the field strip screw, however there is not on the Intelliframe. This causes the field strip screw to dig into my hand and makes long periods of play rather uncomfortable. Does anyone know if this was done for a specific reason? Perhaps tolerances were involved. If it was not done for any major issue, does AGD have any plans on changing the design of the frame?

A Zentelligrip! intelliframe+zgrip Awesome !!!!! ya lol ok bring it back i never used one but they look weird so bring em back! why did they stop making them?

[cphilip]

[HeerophantG]

Is this a "Bring Back The Z-Grip" crusade? Whoohoo! I'll jump on that slow boat to nowhere

Seriously though, this has been tried many times in the past by some deranged AO member who shall go unnamed - with minimal success. For example, after the last round of badgering, AGD released a number of Z-Grips they found "in the attic." Most likely, these grips were shipped out to keep AO members from pestering Mr. Kaye. But hey, if it means more exposure for the Z-Grip then I'm all for it. For now, I guess I'll just treasure a rare part of paintball's history.

Sincerely,

Matt

P.S. LOL cphillip!

I betcha if you get 100 people to send $125 each to Tom Kaye and as soon as he gets all 100 members money there might just be a run of Z's happening! I would almost bet on that...
