Why can't you buy sidearms like the PT enforcer in the UK? They look smart but I can't anywhere to purchase one or even the cartrages. Does anyone know of a trustworthy website that sells in the UK?
sidearms/backup markers

I'm not sure, but it may have something to do with the fact that any paintball marker that looks like a real gun is illegal.
I don't think that is true because airsoft guns are full blown replecas and are not illegal as well as the markers not being replecas and cannot immetate a real firearm so I think they are OK. SO WHY WON'T ANYWHERE IN THIS RIP OFF COUNTRY SELL THEM!!??!
You could move somewhere that does. I believe Northern Paintball Supplies sell them in the Artic.
I found a Norwegian website with loads of rec'ball oriented stuff including PT Extremes, and they are willing to ship to the UK. I've no idea of the cost though, and the prices are in kroner. Hope this is some help

In case you are tempted by the cheap prices of the PT Enforcer I will offer the suggestion that you should not buy one. I bought mine for $80 and thought it was the biggest waste of money-period! I tried to sell it as soon as I used it, but after the potential buyers tried it out for a few games they would not buy it, even for $20. I gave it away to some newbie that talked too much if he promised to shut up.
Well...
Not trying to be smart, like so many other people around here love to be, but, his topic was sidearms/BACKUP markers. I've played with some pretty redneck people and even they wouldn't buy one of those as a primary marker.

Backup Marker
A good back up marker is a second hand cocker. Look into that and forget the sidearms

Well...
I was just suggesting that even as a backup marker, the PT Enforcer is sub-par. I would go for a PT Extreme as a sidearm/backup marker, or look into the other few sidearms models out there.

Yeah...
Thats true, but...I don't understand why some people want a back up gun to carry around. Not that there is anything wrong with it. But my experience with paintball pistols is that they are really inaccurate(may be not so with the PT Extreme) that you have to get really close, so close that you often get hit first. And if that was the case...why bother to carry it around. Especially if you go remote with your primary gun, where a 4+1,6+1,8+1, or anything similar. Its just not worth it to me. Oh well...
