I went from an etek to a mini without noticing the difference. Is an etek a 45?

Jonny showed me the difference last night though and its closer to a 90 angle really.

Yeah I've been examining the furthest reaches of the net... even PB nation :O (GOD FORBID!) trying not to leave a single 'cyber' rock unlifted and it seems there has been talks about it but nothing really ever coming into practice. It seems its an idea that has been left on the drawing board so far.

I find it strange how Element (thanks for the head up ION_CRAZY) decided against it based on the lack of interest, it seems the main fundamental flaws many people have had with the platforms design (other than the obvious problems tweeked early on) are A) the size (Marmite anyone?) and B) Uncomfortable grip frame. I certainly wouldnt go as far to say that its extremely uncomfortable however I have noticed the angle or more importantly the ergonomics (lack of in this case). What sets other grip frames aside from the mini (such as the fantastic Ultralite) is the intergration of ergonomics. Its certainly something I find can be improved, something worthy of exploration from aftermarket producers and Invert alike.

This most certainly isnt a dig though, as I said earlier I adore the platform. I will continue to sing this markers praises like a select few on here who shoot this wonderful marker through sponsorship or personal preference. My love for the gun is why I'm hunting down a solution to my problem. I really dont want to give up my Mini. :)

As for the obvious solution I'm waiting to hear from the regulars on here... no thank you, I would rather keep my mini rather than sell up and buy an Ego. I think Egos are amazing BUT they just aint for me... not right now.
