Someone else raised the point - Dye has never tried to be an economy brand, and this appears to have features the proto does not. Maybe there trying to borrow off the Glock image, and the weight savings of composites, and go higher end"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. Its not" - Dr SuessComment

Not CHEAP at all.. looks like this is going to be a limited edition Matrix with the composite body. Pre-orders are popping up over the net at $1699.... that aint cheap.

The funny thing is that I have heard every argument, about the how cheaply the ion is made and its a plastic gun, 15 years ago. Except it was not the ion they were talking about, it was the Glock. Now glock is known as one of the best, most reliable, most rugged guns around. HHHHMMMMM

There's a difference between Capitalism and a Monopoly. You tell me what SP is doing in the electro market...
Let's see...
Eclipse has to pay a fee for every E-Bladed 'cocker sold...
AKA was put outta business, which elminated a competitor for Smart Parts...
They tried to sue WGP....
SP=Greed
Don't get me wrong here, they make great products. From their AA barrels to the Shocker, I like them all.

So, Nazis=monopolies?
And for the record, SP is nowhere near monopolizing the market. Generally, companies begin to get concerned at about 60% market share. No way SP is near that.SwallowBleach: It's good for you.

You can call it what you will, I'm not interested. Smart Parts made a buisness move that it seems to have benefited from. However, in my eyes it was not in the spirit of advancing the sport. And certainly not in the spirit of good will or cooperation. I understand that they are running a buisness, but all the same, I will not be purchasing anything from Smart Parts. They made their choice and I made mine. If you're indifferent, or like SP, I dont mind, thats your choice. Flame me for it if you want, but I will not support them.

At least you aren't running around calling SP Nazis and waving an SP->Swastika avatar.
And for the record, business moves generally aren't in then spirit of helping other people out

not gonna happen. SP and Dye are buddies, remember?Originally posted by jewie27Dye better watch out so they don't get sued by the Nazis.(SP) What if they claim they were the first to come out with a low cost - high performance marker. LOL
Dye owns the spool valve and matrix platforms I believe, they let SP use the spool valve and SP doesn't sue them and everyone is happy or something...
yeah, first thing i saw that would prove that the marker is NOT a lower end modelOriginally posted by JaredMeiersculpted integrated on/off(proto also doesnt even have),
