How about an "economy" e-grip from AGD?

[fenris69]

take the new 45 grip frame...toss the internals solonoid board etc... should already fit the standard mag...booya! cheap as all hell and they could charge 250+ for it. too bad initial production runs are so damned expensive... oh well.
IF you want to go further, the new modular bodies could be incorporated. could even toss out the old ones, only make modular , then you could mix 'n match the mag you want. nice eh? but im sure thats been thought of

Problem here, everyone says economy electro grip. We want it cheap, but we want more out of it than the more expensive ones... Economy would be a basic, semi auto only frame without any grip panels. Ok its only another $20 for more modes then another $50 for manual mode then another $20 for sticky grips. All the little things add up.

Pyro: my point exactly.

I want semi only, it must take (not come with ) stickies, and if you have an LCD, pattern the layout after the Angel LCD, so we can use Angel grips (I have yet to see an electro come stock with grips I liked(ELCD frame is closest, Custom jobs with Stickies don't count.) manual mode is unnecesary, if you need it that bad, bring along a spare frame, or pay the money and get the e-mag you really want. Running it off a 9V would be nice too, and Retro compatibility is a must.

To summarize:
Semi only
No LCD
Takes Stickies & Hogues
Retro compatibility
9V power preferred

Optional: Small LCD, Angel gripframe layout for grip compatability.

Yep, agreed. Check out the ealier posts, don't need manual , don't need other electro modes, or if need be, just 2 or 3 basic. And no need for grips as everyone can get they're own or already own it.

Hey, i wouldnt mind bieng, like a beta tester or something

[st6212]

Basically, what we are looking for in an e-grip is pretty set.

But the problem is that AGD are having a problem trying to find a solution to make such a product reliable and void of the problems associated to that of the Hyperframe and Boo-yaah.

If AGD could describe exactly what the problem is/would be, maybe a brainstorm session for a solution may present itself.

[Techpriest]

umm, so long as I was getting an electronic frame, even if it's exactly the same as a hyperframe or boo-yaah, I'd be more inclined to put the money into Tom's pocket than those other guys, just my $0.02

Still though, AGD could make one now, with the knowledge they have, then use the first batch as beta testers, learn from the flaws in them, and then revise, and offer discounts to move up for the people who got the 1st gens right?

AGD, please correct me, or give us some input here, is this in the works, or possible?

[PyRo]

Well, i think AGD may be a little busy right now, with everything else. I don't think that even if they decided to do this, we would see anything for atleast a year.

You guys misinterperted what i wrote. All i am saying is that you guys are almost expecting AGD to go through with this. They are working on 5 other things that these forums have suggested, so dont get your hopes up. I know AGD likes to listen and use their customers opinions, but it seems everyone has gotten very demanding lately. Also realize that right now, i would think AGD is trying to get the emag and warp mainstream. So an econogrip when 2 other companies attempts have sucked seems unlikely at this point. Plus, even if it was bolt on, people have messed with their mags so once again tolerances would be a huge issue.....for it to work as headache free as you guys are wanting, i would think it would be impossible for it to be just a bolt on upgrade. Just my opinions...

hey retromagboy, some people also said we wouldnt land on the moon and we wouldnt be able to fly. my point is, it can be done, just needs to be understood how. if any company can do it, AND DO IT RIGHT,it is AGD. these people are smart, they will figure out how. you got one thing right, they are quite busy so i say another year before the prototype is out or earlier if were lucky.

Ok, also, make it work with stickies AND firearm grip, a few extra holes arent too hard to make.

[rifleman]

Whatcha thinkin AGD?

Like my previous post stated , if AGD doesn't want to do it, then fine. But you must admit judging at how many posts this topic has gathered....it has garnered quite a bit interest in such a product.

The thing about this post is that it's allowing everyone to give some input into what they would like to see if a product was to come about of it.

[daklown33]

Semi only is a must, since people are pusing in the NPPL to make guns that are just CAPABLE of anything other than semi illegal, da...i mean darn....rule making b....guys.
