| I have owned (and just bought another) 05 proto matrix. I was surprised how much I liked the thing because I have never been an electro kind of guy. I baby my stuff so it got plenty of attention so the maintenance part was nothing. As far as operating, it was accurate with the stock barrel (but I recommend an upgrade), quiet as hell, no kick, etc. I only got rid of mine before because I lost my job and was selling everything I owned to keep the family fed.
The only issue with them is the fact that every year they come out with a new model and they don't hold value for crap.
I have owned a few angels but never kept them around long. I just didn't get the "ohhh" feeling I expected when I purchased them. |
