well, I think custom means that you can have them customize their markers. Also, apparently all their markers exept the blazer are "hand" made. : A customer of mine ended up spending over $80 on their Quick-leak 3 way after buying it for $55, then shipping it back because it leaked, they charged him labor to look at it, tell him nothing was wrong and then send it back after several months. In which time he paid $18 for an ANS 3-way and never once had a problem with it. When I tried to sign up as a dealer with them, they wanted me to buy 5 of whatever item I was interested in to get any kind of wholesale priceing. Don't they claim, "Where custom means something"? How do you order 5 of something that is custom? To me custom means something no one else has becuase it was custom built, not a production run of parts. Hope it helps. : Razor : : well, actually one of the major reasons why I was considering the Blazer was not because it did not have many aftermarket upgrade parts, but because they aren't really necessary, it comes stock with 45 hinge trigger, rock regulator, and QuickSwitch 4-way. : : Also, I currently own a spyder that is in poor condition but has a practically brand new smart parts barrel- that would not fit a cocker. Due to the no-thread barrel system used by pps, I could have the threads milled off, and would be able to use my current sp barrel. : : Price is more than the stock cocker(by about $50), but I have found that the stock cocker's performance is not that great- which goes back to upgrades. : : Aesthetics are not that great and that is it's major weakness. : : Please post again, I am curious about your bad experience with palmers, as I am somewhat worried about the fact that there are very few people who know how to fix the blazer other than PPS(they are in cali, I am in NH). : : : I tell everyone I can to boycott Palmer, bad experience with them. A few things to consider: 1: how many upgrade parts are available for the blazer. 2: Can you put a nice smart parts or any other aftermarket barrel on them - no. 3: Price, last I checked there about twice the price of a stock cocker. 4: Aesthetics (how does it look). Just my opinions, hope it helps. : : : Razor : : : : : : : I am just wondering what your opinion on the PPS Blazer is, and which 'gun(cocker or blazer) is the "better" marker. : : : : -Tom "apoc" Miller
