I just got one today... :-)

Testing can only happen once when good weather in the Cape coincides with a weekend I'm not away...

Can confirm it does not pick up shots from my Gamo CFX, I think it's a combination of low signal due to small lead bullet, and the CFX's large plastic 'front sight mount thing' not allowing the sensors close enough to the bullet path :-(

Reports from the US seems very positive.

That looks so awesome. Means i won't shoot the chrony anymore.

Pirate, if you don't mind me asking, what is the price range? I think my xmas stocking has just found a filler.

Pirate please post a feedback once you have properly tested it. Did you buy it locally and if I may ask, how much?

[Yousuf]

There is a disadvantage though with this piece of equipment, is that it will only work with FA that have fixed barrels. Pistols with slide frames will not work.

Nope, colleague picked up one for each of us whilst in the US last week. Paid as advertised on the website plus tax, shipping, handling etc.

Been eyeing it since the original RealGuns article, and said colleague's been in contact with them ever since.

Review will be posted soos as the weather allows :-/

Pirate, Have you got the chance to test this out as yet?

Eagerly awaiting a feedback.......

Yousuf, eish....

Previous weekend: Major storms in the Cape = no shooting
This past weekend: Great weather in the Cape, Pirate in North West = No shooting
Coming weekend: Big storms forecast in the Cape = No shooting
Weekend after that: most probably great weather in the Cape, Pirate in Durban = No shooting

You'll see the pattern....!
