    45 frame. I am too used to shooting real guns to favor a 90 (maybe a P90).

        45*. Its how i learned to shoot, its how i know to walk the trigger, shooting a 90* throws my posistion and rhythem off, plus does anyones wrist actually hurt when shooting a 45* on the field? Suck it up

          I like the 45* as well. I'm sure I could get used to the 90* but I'm not going to go out of my way and spend any money to buy a new grip frame for any of my guns.

            I have both, but I am used to the 45 from way back. I don't find it too terrible to transition from one to the other.

              I tried a lot of 45* and one 90* (i frame for impulses), and horribly disliked the 90*. Too me it's really hard to walk, and throws everything out of my comfort zone. I bet it wouldn't be so bad if it was just a single trigger, or mech 90* frame.

              That is my experiance.

                I really hate the look of the 90* frame, but I must say that they feel really good in my hand. I do however prefer the 45*. Especially the ones on the newer Angels like the 05 speed and G7. I think they are the best feeling frames out.

                  Does anyone actually hold there hand around the "frame" when shooting lanes anyways? Mine is there, but loosely so 45 or 90 really doesnt make a big difference.

                    the i-frame is only 80*(well its not totally vertical) , and i love mine. i had an otb frame which is 90* and didnt really like it, not because of the 90*, but the trigger was odd to me. 45* frames are fine for me too though, i just like the feel of the 80* the best.

                    as you can see in this pic, it is not totally 90*, but closer to 80*

                      Thanks for the correction. But still...a combination of the trigger, lack of space in the trigger guard, and the angle all contributed to my dis-like.

                            In paintball , electros especially since you shoot them nothing like a Firearm....you could cut the frame off under the trigger guard and I wouldn't care in the least.
