GraniteFraggle Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 Oof! I always tape any of my split grip CO2 revolvers before play as if anyone is capable of loosing half a grip it's me. If you got it from a UK retailer I'd definitely ask them to see if they can replace. Off to Wilmslow for my sins today so I'm popping into Tangodown to ask about trades.

Got it from JD Airsoft, but contacted ares direct and they are very helpful. They have posted out a replacement grip. Friend of mine has problems with his, double action has broken after 3 capsules.

While it's good that ares have decent customer service will send out replacement parts, the fact that they're having problems already is concerning. Hopefully this isn't the start of a trend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know what Tango Down say on this as I've not had chance to nip in yet. Mine needs to go back to JD Airsoft - as @novioman has mentioned above it mine with the buggered double action 😔 Ares Fault DA.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraniteFraggle Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Erk sorry to hear that guys! I've hammered mine - I run it alongside my 1911 and it's just way too much fun to use. Been getting lots of kills with it Would be nice if we got a diagram of the internals - I'll open her up for a lube/clean after my next game. I'll be sure to take some photos.

Doyley83 Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago (edited) No hastle from JD Airsoft with the issue with mine. Sent me labels to return and options for replacement. I opted to go for the 2" model I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of these despite the issue mine had. A friend on another forum with repair experience has opened one up and is adamant that the internals are top notch. If I were to get another problem I think it would be easily fixable.

Lovely little piece. I'm on a 24hr event this weekend starting this afternoon. I'm not using mine as I want to keep the weight down - the luxury of a second sidearm is just that fir this game. I plan on opening up mine for a clean & I'll update my review with some internal pictures. Hows the accuracy with the super short barrel? I've been really impressed the hop. Can't wait to see what the 6.5 inch is like! novioman and Doyley83 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see what the 6.5 inch is like! I won't lie, short range (3m for testing) accuracy is not great - from my testing maybe a 1.5" group at that range. It's understandably not as good as the 3.5 but I'm likely to add that back into the collection at some point, along with the upcoming 6" 🤞🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
