I am looking to buy a marker for my son. I looked at the grips on a Spyder Imagine and they looked huge. Do you have any suggestions for a marker that comes stock with small grips under $200, or are there aftermarket grips that fit the Spyders and Draguns that are made for smaller hands? Thanks in advance for your reply.

well if ur just looking for grips not small frame then u can get a sum lexan and shape it into the right size and then drill the holes i dunno if anyone that makes smaller grips. if u wnat the whole trigger frame smaller then it's impossible and how young is ur son that his hands can't hold the trigger because if he can't hold the stock grips on a imagine (electronic markers have the smallest grips i have seen) then i dunno if he is quiet old enough to be playing.

a 98c has a kinda small frame right? If i'm wrong, then ur screwed, its pretty much an industry standard for them to fit adult hands since mostly teens or adults play.

Well, because most guns have a standard 45 Frame, it means they all have the same size grips... I have never seen smaller grips for sale before, so I guess your best bet would be to get something custom done...

he is probably too young to play if he can't hold/control the gun. Is it the grips or the frame that is too big? grips can be lightly reduced in size, but a frame is a frame!

Not all guns have the same size grips....The frame size and the grip size vary. It depends on makers of both things.

the imagine have really small grips if u r talking about grips they r just big enought to cover both sides of the frame. i really think if he can't shot the imagine he shouldn't be paintballin yet.

**spyshark** · November 10th, 09:36 AM

Well that would have to be a good indicator if he cant grab the marker right he probably id too young.How old is he by the way?

He is 11 and he can handle his 3" Mossberg 20 gauge pump just fine (Banded goose, dove, duck and ruffed grouse 'fall 04).

Take him to the paintball shop, and have him try out different markers.

I think it should be fine. if the gun/ frame/grips are too big then im assuming hes a midget? i have very small hands and am VERY SHORT. my friends friend had an IMPULSE and that fit me, so as long as he can carry a gun(they weigh 3-6 pounds with tank hopper) he can use the trigger. i wouldnt worry about it....

Edit: Matrixes, impulses, and tippmans can weigh a little bit more.

j/k

many guns have slim grips, u could try putting panel grips one a gun. most stock piranhas have panel grips. also most pumps tend to have smaller grips, atleast my 3 pums do. if u really have to have a gun with A small grip, winchester sells one. there really heavy but the grip isnt much more then an inch 1/2 wide

If the kid is as small as he is, then i imagine an impulse with hopper/paint and air will wiegh too much. That will be upperwards of 7-8 lbs atleast.

**boomdie** · November 13th, 06:17 PM

If he needs a grip real small, go with an automag or a tippmann.

**bunkertime** · November 13th, 07:16 PM

Get him a timmy, and take the grips off the Clammy, and put on some pannels or some stickers... Very slim and nice

and if he can handle a 12 Guage shotgun, then why does he need small grips? take him to a shop, we don't have pictures we can reference by. and when he learns to walk a trigger, me most lilley will only have a thumb in the back and his 2 fingers walking, thats how most do it

i hold my whole gun up by the gas thru with sorta resting on my wrist, its a pretty light gun, like i have a 12 oz c02 and its a fishy, maybe get him a fishy, its lightweight, easy to manage,but the frame is pretty big
