    Ion shells are pretty tough

    Ion shells are pretty tough...

    My Ion had a minor leak today, which I tried unsuccessfully to fix - in fact by the time I was done it was leaking heavily. One of the microline fittings in the body was cracked and leaking, and on removing it the threads broke in half in the marker, so I got to dig them out. This took some time to find, and repeated dissassembly of the marker and looking at.

    Ion sells will survive being tossed into the trunk carelessly, being thrown into the trunk in anger, and even being kicked - pretty darn strong things

        So, SP doesn't make anything good Cameo? Then why does the Ion have 14000 guns backordered and SP getting 1500 new orders a day?!

          Well the fact that thousands were ordered before anyone had even seen one in person speaks to it being more hype than "good" products.

          Of course now that they're out there the hype is proving to be pretty accurate. I know I'm getting one.

            Everyone I play with including me thinks that the Ion is a pos. I don't like the styling or the fact that it comes with ramping.

              Neither of those factors are involved in its quality

              PS - circumvention of the cuss filter is grounds for ban I mean that nicely

                So the way it looks and the fact that it comes with ramping make it a piece? Interesting. I tend to judge things based on performance but that's just me.

                P.S. avoiding the filter will get you a 3-day. :)

                edit: you got to it before me.

                    The funny thing is you have people here who thought the beginning of this thread was hype for the Ion. Did anyone read the second paragraph?

                        Can you believe that's bondo?!
                        Everyone here on AO iis just being a butthat because AGD didn't have the marketing sense to release a $300 gun with eyes first! Just because they think SP is "evil" and "nazi". Fact is, over 3/4 of the PB companies have some sort of lawsuit or settlement with another company. It's just AGD doesn't seem to...........

                          well in the 5 years that i have had my mags, i have never spent anywhere close to the time i spend working on these. it has been near 15 hours of just working on these together.
                          Hard work never killed anybody...but why take a chance?

                            just because a lot of people bought them as soon as they came out doesnt mean they are good. All it means is that SP did an amazing job of hype and advertising.
