Paintball Pistols
Friday October 16, 2009
Paintball pistols have become increasingly more popular in recent years. Some people use them as simple sidearms or backup guns while others use them as their primary gun. Additionally, they can be used as training devices for law enforcement officers.
With Tippmann's and Kingman's recent entry into the paintball pistol arena, it will be very interesting to see if pistols become a paintball mainstay or a passing interest of the manufacturers. It will also be interesting if this really does signal the start of the switch from the standard .68 caliber paintball to a smaller size.
If you've never played with a paintball pistol or even didn't know they existed, it's time to see what you've been missing.

Personally I prefer the .68 pistols because I dont have to buy different (more expensive) paint for my secondary gun. I really like the Tac-8 Socom, best looking pistol out there IMO, but for efficiency and price I think the KT Eraser is the best on the market!
O ya!
I also wanted to mention how mag. vs the top feed style (like on the ariakon overlord, PMI USP, and others) is something to look at. Magazine pistols like the TPX, T8, and Kingman pistols seem are the future of paintball pistols. They look great but the “star wars” looking pistols will always be cool!
