P650LX Interest - New Grex Gun

[Sean7a]

So this gun has now been pushed back to an early 2015 release.  A few of you have placed pre orders.

What's everyone's thoughts and interests on this tool?  Trying to gauge forecast as we move closer to the launch to ensure there is product available for you guys.

Count me in as interested.  I didn't know that Grex was coming out with new 23ga gun until I read this post. 

I took a look at a video from IWF 2014 and Grex addressed all of the things I don't like about the P650L I use and really like.  Namely, the safety moving from the double trigger to the depressed nose style. 

Another major fix is that the new gun has more power at lower air pressure.  I find the old model P650L requires nearly constant 110-120 psi for fully sinking 2" pins in hard woods like oak.  Not much fun bleeding the hose to get the compressor to cycle.

The lockout bypass button seems to be a handy feature to have, too.

I wonder what happened and caused the introduction delay?  In the video from last summer, the green shirt Grex guy indicated they were ready to launch and had inventory back then.

Good news, the guns have finally landed in LA.  We expect to have them in stock and shipping in 1-2 weeks.  I know lots of you are excited about this gun and there is quite a lot of hype out there. 

Place your order here.  Guns will ship on a first come first served basis.
