ARMOURY AW CUSTOM VX9
SHORT AND SHARP!
WHEN IT COMES TO COMPACT HANDGUNS, BILL IS AN ABSOLUTE FAN AND HE’S ALWAYS GOT HIS EYES OPEN FOR ANYTHING NEW IN THIS CATEGORY! WHEN HE GOT THE CHANCE TO CHECK OUT ONE OF THE LATEST FROM ARMORER WORKS, YOU CAN BET THAT HE WAS VERY HAPPY TO GET THEIR CUSTOM VX9 ON THE RANGE!
I
may have mentioned before that I do love a short, compact,
small-frame handgun, especially when it comes to airsoft where performance is not governed by the round used, but by the efficiency of the gas system! Whereas “IRL” you generally need a physically larger frame and slide to handle bigger and more poweful rounds, in one particular way all (current) airsoft pistols are equal in that they all fire a 6mm BB. Whilst some may like the look and the “intimidation factor” of a Deagle or a Mk23, the fact is that they fire the same BB as an airsoft derringer, and whilst I don’t like to go THAT small, I see little point in encumbering myself with a dirty great hand-cannon when a well-tuned and well
“I “MAY” HAVE MENTIONED BEFORE THAT MY APPROACH TO A “SECONDARY” IS EXACTLY THAT, IT’S SECONDARY TO MY PRIMARY LONG-GUN, AND IT’S GENERALLY ONLY WHEN THE SAUSAGE BUTTER MELTS THAT I EVEN REALLY BEGIN TO THINK OF TRANSITIONING TO MY PISTOL”
