sidearms/pistols info

You can't go wrong with an Automag.

wow, they look great.
where did you get the short barrels?
Is that a sydarm? Can I have it, pleeease.
Thats what I would like to do to my Mag.

Do they make Sydarms anymore?

Pneumagger - I'm a big fan of the SIG .357 myself.

Tac-8 is extremely cool, hot swapping mags on the fly is where the cool factor is at its best. Used one for last years Battle of Normandy @ Jim Thorpe PA.

The tac8 isn't only just cooler, it's more everything. It's more durable, more consistent, more efficient, faster, smaller over all, smoother, and feels significantly better to me and everyone that commented on the two I had. The trigger pull is perfect, too... There's just nothing that compares, but don't take my word for it. Test one for yourself. A Sydarm isn't a mag...trust me on that one. It's a minature mag valve that doesn't work nearly as well for the purpose...

Thanks for the info guys.
For a pistol, I'm leaning towards a Tac-8. It seems to be the choice sidearm.
I think I'm going to convert my Mag similar to automikey top marker. Looks pretty sweet, plus with a barrel swap I'm not limited.

Now go find yourself a Squall.

This more than likely going to sound stupid.
What is a squall?
Sorry, been out of paintball for quite some time.

Thanks

Unfourtunately its also more expensive.

For $250.00 i could build another mag. I know im just looking for something cheap to run around with while playing with new players.
Example, i ran out of paint before the last game this weekend. We were playing with new players mixed in with some "every once in awhile" guys. I still wanted to play and help the team so i played without a gun. I called out enemies, coached some new players, ran around as a distraction, and eventually hung the flag. I had a blast. Still, i would loved to have had a pistol as a "just in case". Lucky for me the only guy defending the base was a runner from the other side, and wasnt using a gun either.

Any opinions o the Araikon ACP?

The Squall is a semi-auto pistol that PPS makes based on the Typhoon platform. Here's one for sale, and here's a review Warpig did. Thank you, Google.

Squalls are sweet but not even remotly worth the cost for the average paintball player. If your a collector or want a WOW factor then go for a squall.

As someoen else said a sydarm really isnt that great. They are nice but pricey and somewhat of a pain.

Tac8 is where its at. I cant think of any other pistol that can compare.

Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.
That squall is nice and very expnsive.
As of now, I'm leaning towards the Tac 8.
Just like chaos said "Tac8 is where its at"

i have a tac 9 and i dont like it to much and i looking at getting a sydarm, mags on a t8/t9 just suck for trying to change the 12 gram if you dont do it just right you lose all your co2 and haveing to use a tool to change it is a pain as well

here is a link to my t9 i trying to get rid of

not sure whats better between the t8 or t9

[Tig]

PBC,
How did you like the performance of the T9? I'm looking to get into a woodsball club and was considering a T9.
I have heard mixed messages about changing the mags and co2.

[PBChappy]

shoots good, light trigger, easy to clean, build up to rifle and break down to pistol as easy as can be

just not my thing i live and breath mags so i going to have to get a sydarm to be my pistol

WWA is working on a quick change fix for the c02 cartriges on the tiberius clips.
