You can get the HPC gun from Citysafe, SKS and Aldridge. The prices are all around the same although I think Citysafe's is slighly the cheapest.

Toomush, so you rate the Majestic electric gun? As the battery for my HPC doesn't appear to last long, I was thinking of getting another gun for back up but don't really want to do a Pinky and buy another expensive HPC, so the Majestic one appears a far cheaper alternative...

Bloody edit! I didn't mean to say 'Majestic electric gun'. Obviously you are talking about the Majestic pick gun (non-electric) as, to my knowledge, Majestic don't make an electric gun...or do they?

evo if your battery doesnt last , then you have a duff battery, i use my gun every day and only charge it once a week, so get it checked.

you can get a battery gun, and the hpc rechargeable battery gun, the hpc in my view is the best of the lot, its sold by all the wholesalers and is the same price generaly wherever you go.

Sorry evo my mistake (this babies taking my sleep :shock: ) it is the hpc one in the sks catalogue, got confused for a moment. Never had a problem with mine though and its second hand too.

trust me evo, when you do warrents 5 days a week, then you will carry 2 guns, just in case.

all wholesalers charge about the same, my advice is stop looking for a cheap option, get the best , pay for it now instead of paying more in the long run, there is no cheap way of doing things, theres just the right way and wrong way.

I know exactly what you mean Pinky, and I want a back up gun for warrants. At £150ish+VAT for the HPC though, the money could be going towards nearly half of a 110 pin and cam or a third of an Invincible kit, as I'd rather get something I haven't got than back up for something I have! Although, where speed is of the essence, I wouldn't like to be on a warrant day without the gun, that's for sure...

You could get yourself a backup in the way of a southord electric pickgun from their outlet. They are a good price and take batteries so your never without a gun. I just use my snap gun as backup and keep the hpc charged up.

Im still not sure what suits will be required for the 19th ... the last film I saw that had a Mr Pink in it, they all wore some kind of black suit arrangement .. can't imagine Sid in that so we may have to rely on his credentials to get us served more quickly .... failing that, he can now pick a legge yellow, cumscrote can buy the beer and Toomush can drive the train home ! lovely jubbly ....
