@Lozart Between games. Between game days wouldn't bother me at all as it'd be what I'd do anyway but it's no good if it auto-offs after 5 mins and won't auto on.

The unit it's built into is proper sturdy stuff which is why the 'shake to wake' function is a necessity - don't want the faff of taking it all apart to turn the tracer back on after a break.

Welcome! Hope you like it and it lives up to your expectations after so long. Added bonus is that in our fields the wildlife is substantially less likely to kill you.

Thanks for the info, hadn’t thought about slide wear but I guess with TM’s being plastic I probably should.

Chatting to a mate this morning and he uses a trigger guard holster similar to this:

Tempting for the versatility as any light/tracer combo will work.

Good suggestions there, think the Deadly Customs one has it at the moment, I like the idea of the release on the Blackhawk one but if I’m running a tracer and a light the DC one is pretty much the only option.

Only problem now is that DC also do a belt with mag carriers and you can get them wrapped … and then it’s like ‘ohh, that looks nice’ …….. could spend more on the belt than the pew it’s meant to carry!

Theirs is the DC5 on my list of one. Looks  like this could be an easy choice to make 😂

Certainly does @Druid799!

That was my thinking @Lozart but they seem to want the three games inside a year - their site, their rules. I don't mind if that means I have to wait an extra month or two and I'm not gonna kick up a fuss as I don't want to be 'that guy' and quite frankly there's bigger things to worry about .... like what pew to get and whether it's in stock anywhere 😂

Shame. No-one likes to see businesses close. 

Hopefully this is just the start of a new chapter, there's loads of retail space empty at the moment so fingers crossed they find a new home and a more agreeable landlord elsewhere. If Zed can set up in an old Debenhams then there's hope.

Hobbies come and go, some of the people you meet stay for longer.

Don't be a stranger (oh the irony...)

Definitely keep a bit of kit back for when you get an Airsoft itch that needs scratching.

don't forget option 4:

Tell her you're selling one/some, pick your least favourite and stick an advert on here for proof. Price it to get yourself a mention in the Macks thread, so it doesn't sell but if it does you're quids in. Chances are that'll buy you enough time for the whole thing to have been forgotten shortly after your new toy arrives.

and maybe even option 5: offsite storage  

Didn't find out the price as well did she? If I ever go under a bus a lot of people are getting some bargains if my stuff gets sold for what Mrs M thinks it cost!
