protos new gun. the "rail"



Proto's new mid end gun. $350 ~ price range. Expected to drop just like the ion did.

UL frames will be availible.

No lpr.

frame looks off, other than that it doesn't look to be to different (eye covers and some other little things i guess.

Great gun for the price...or seems to be specially when its spose to be 400 plus a 200-300 dollar ul frame and some upgrades and you have a pm7 for like half the price...my PM6 is officially worth nothing...owell it shoots to good to get rid of..

This gun will deffinetley be a big competitor..and coming from dye you know its quality (unless your username is the name of some mexican food or some dumb **** like that then you will think otherwise before even seeing the gun, but who nees a spool valve when you can walk a spyder and shoot 28 BPS...). I think the lack of LPR will make it shoot with a little more kick, more like a shocker...one less thing to worry about but they lpr just makes some things more convenient at times...specially with things like season changes..

but for the price im sure its worth every penny (acutally could prolly sell it for around the etek price...) we will see maybe i will get one as a back up, all though i can say i havnt needed a back up in a long time.

looks very nice. i dont like the idea of no lpr but i guess they had to do that to keep the price down. i also like the style of eye cover. like CKY_Alliance said it will drive the price of PM's down but that sure does not make them shoot any worse so i will be keepng my PM. thumbs up to proto!!

edit: dave youngblood said it will sell for 399.99 on matrix owners

Hmm. It looks... just like thier other guns...

Talk about original...

I would like to know how these work.

[etjoyride]

ugh....please not another ion. there alright with the right stuff, but one is ENOUGH!

I recall SP, DYE, and WDP making a three-way agreement a number of months ago. The details nobody knows, but Id find it interesting if it became West Coast/DYE and East Coast/SP power push with WDP covering the overseas market.

I cant belive I'm saying this:

Sounds to me like an "Axis of Evil".

-Or it's Dye, Sp, and WDP agreeing not to litigate the crud out of each other. Especially since Sp and Dye have scarry similar spool valve designs.

[coreyander]

trigger sucks, but I can assure you even if it is designed like an Ion, it wont be that bad. Ions dont kick much at all even w/o an LPR. But the proto comes w/ better eyes, clamping feedneck, better reg, better bolt system (easy access), a better barrel, and a nicer body.......so it will be nothing like the IOn.

I might have to pick one of these up when they hit the shelves. Aside from that trigger. .me likes.

Didnt someone say that the $1300 marker was going the way of the dinosour?

No, just the way of the Sponsored-only...

[White_Noise]

probably picking one of these up after christmas to back up my pm6. looks like it is deffinately worth the price.

[don miguel]

Everything looks nice but the trigger. It's got some rubber type thing going on. I don't know if I'd like that. But just like the ion, good deal for the money (not after countless trips to the proshop for fixing the cheap parts just struggling to be high-end it isn't) when you first but it you feel like you saved a lot.

I like the side effect of driving prices on used Proto and Dye matricies down further. Makes picking up a PM6 or DM6 a lot easier to get approved by the wife.

[d4m4don3]

Most of todays new markers look almost all the same now. I guess most of the difference is in the features or material its made out aside from preference of company who made it.
