    Jackal 90* frame. yea or nay

    We are discussing making our frame for the mag. Before we do we want to know what you guys think. We have the A/C and the Impusle frame and people like the very much so why not add a Mag frame. If we do make the frame do you guys think it needs a safty. If we do make one it would retail for around $110 while most dealers sell them for around $90. Feel free to post comments or questions.

    Looks pretty nifty.

    Edit: It might look pretty cool with a Karta.

    Edit Numero Dos: Yeah, totally needs a safety.

      Looks nifty, but all the other 90* frames for mags have safeties... It's a good idea.

        Yes i would love to have it with a safty to prevent any unwanted fireing when your holding it But the only thing thats looks weird is the trigger thing so to me it kinda looks like a chode but i guess you could make one but what nifty things could it do for the mag? becuase right now i just love the Y-grip and rogues looks just a tad better im not trying to be harsh

          Safeties have been an issue for those already making 90* frames for Mags. So I would say if you are going to do it, yes, put in a safety.

          Looks good. It is a bit more stylish (curvey) than the two already available for Mags. I think those lines would look great with some of the Chord bodies. You may want to make a mock-up picture with your frame on an existing Mag though so folks can see it all work together.

            I really like the look of your frame, but that trigger is a little off,

            But then again I like the really thin triggers.

              I have Jeremy's 90* for my cocker, it's really comfortable and adjustable. There's nothing Jackal makes that I wouldn't suggest to anyone.
              Here are pics:




              Some people think the grips look weird but you they don't feel unatural when you're holding the frame.

                I like the direction you took with the 90* frame. Rogue and Logics look very similar the the Angel Space frame. You seemed to take a different view of what the 90* frame should be. It adds variety in the market.

                Also, I do think that it should have a safety. I think it should be illegal for any marker made today to not have a safety.

                  AO Army!

                  I just got off the phone with Jeremy and he told me he gave up on PBN when he went there asking about his products and got flamed to a crisp. I ASSURED him that AO was different (and of course looking at the posts so far I am right) so lets give him a BIG AO WELCOME and get him on board as a AGD accessory manuf.

                    I think that looks really nice, actually I like the looks of it more than Rogue's or CollHand's.

                        Well it certainly has a very unique look to it. (not that I dislike it, tho)

                        You'll have a market it seems like. Especially if you find a way to add electronics to it, as that seems to be a big thing right now: "who's gonna come out with a vert E-frame first?"

                        Price-wise, I think you have an edge over the other 2 Mag Vert Frames out now.

                        I realize the frame shown is for an Impulse, but I suppose just so the issue is heard, the mag frame would have a mechanical safety, right?

                            It definatly looks interesting. I do like the standard 45 grip idea and it definatly needs a safety. A lot of fields I've been too won't let you play without a trigger guard and/or a safety. Kudo's on the unique look.

                              personally the one sitting at the top of the page, i just can't see it fitting with a mag. I just like the space frame looks of coolhands primarily and rouges second. However, that easily could change once one is actually completed and we have pics.

                              either way, safety is a MUST
