The EGO 05 was and is one of the best guns you could have, I bought mine in 05 and have used it along with others I`ve bought along the way . At present the latest ones are a DM9 , a CREED , and about to buy a CLONE but I can Honestly tell you the best gun that`s always with me to either use or a back up is a EGO 05..........Bluey
