how do you guys compare the feel of your tes's to imps

i recently got my new imp and i absolutely hate the feel of it. Its blocky and there is basically no trigger. its like tapping a solid piece of metal with less force than a mouse click

anyways i am also in a good deal of debt to my parents so i have come to the decision to trade my imp for someone's tes and cash.

tell me about this comparison and your thoughts

I don't own a T.E.S. nor have I shot one but, I have shot an Impulse and I do have to say, they feel rather awful.

That just my opinion on this subject of course.

Andrew,
I don't know the going rates of imps, but you may want to just sell the imp outright for cash and then buy a new or used tes. I think there is a better chance of someone with cash looking for an imp than someone with a tes and some cash looking for an imp. I saw you're from NC, try selling it to someone at your local field. If that won't work, pm me and I'll see if I can help you out.

Andrew,
I have a couple of Spyders, an A-5, and a TES. The TES does not feel like my tricked Imagine, or my "loaner" Xtra. It is more substantial. The metal is thicker, the stock barrel is heavier and the best stock barrel that I have yet seen. The feel is not as heavy as the A-5, but for many that would be a good thing. Don't get me wrong, the A-5 is a good gun, but a completely different personality than either Spyders or the TES. The TES is my first choice when I head out for a game. Fast, accurate, and once set to within its operating parameters, very reliable and consistent. And IMHO there is no other gun at any price that offers more value for the dollar. I have noticed that it makes a lot of people a little combative. The "CloneHeads" don't like to admit that it's better than what they have, and the "upper crust" gun fans get a little defensive in justifying their expenditure of "big bucks". :rolleyes:
One big difference in the feel of an electro Spyder is that all the "heft" is in the grip. The TES has a better overall balance.
