Origional thread here:
Some of you may know I am a Palmer nut. Since I was a tiny toddler I wanted a typhoon. I got one a few years ago, and was happy, except for one major difference between all my other guns and my phoon. Palmer has offered the typhoon with a sheridan style gripframe for over 13 years now, and has pretty much said "hey, this is how we build it." us .45 lovers grinned and bore the burden. (I already own 2 mags, so don't say it. I KNOW you were gunna say it). Now Allan said "I'm gunna buy some blazer .45 frames, and re-engineer them to fit typhoons." This guy is awesome. it seriously changes how the phoon points. The frame is somewhat wider than the sheridan, but without something like PMIs, it feels downright skinny.
I'm not sure if I'm going to get some wraps though, I kind of like the simple look of panels. I think I could get used to it.
I was in a rush and didn't fix the color on the images, so my apologies to Allan for that. Everything is smooth, the frame is without a blemish, the plating is great, the trigger feels exactly as he got it.
The frame geometry is slightly different from my sheridan, in that it hangs closer to the vertical line and arcs further back (if that's a good description) and of course the shape of the trigger is different from the shoe that I had on before. I gassed it up, however, and there's no real learning of a new trigger for me. Not like it matters, I'm no paintball rock star.
Overall, you .45 fans would LOVE this thing, Allan was a good man, does good work, and does it quick. I don't mind at all encouraging anyone sitting on the fence to throw some business his way. His contact from other posts on this subject is: [email protected]
I know it's something of a niche market, but man, I am just so giddy over this thing I'm kinda telling everyone I know.
