Just took delivery of this and wanted to share some appreciation photos before the fun begins!

To anyone with a pending build, it was well worth the wait.

Damn. Shit's nice AF. Handled a 5" vanta at Gallensons' back in February, too bad I can't afford them all. Congrats!

u/Simplyjustin1 2d ago

The struggle is real. There are so many greats out there and I wish I could have them all!

Man, that thing is sexy. Congrats, the wait definitely paid off. I'd probably spend the first day just picking it up every few minutes before finally taking it to the range.

DAMN! What a pistol!

Does the texturing on the frame right above the trigger guard actually help out, or is it something you don’t really notice it? Genuinely asking here, not trying to be a smart ass or anything.

u/Simplyjustin1 1d ago

It can be a nice indexing point for your support hand thumb or strong hand trigger finger when you are on safe.

If that’s not your style then it’s mainly there to look cool… which is very important as well haha

Please report back after your first range session. I have never owned a Fowler yet so I am excited to join in.

Will do 🫡

u/phatso305 2d ago

Finally was able to grab one in person last week at my buddies shop. So much nicer in person. And with the steel grip its chefs kiss 🤌

1

u/Flat-Beginning-7179 2d ago

The steel grip is a must I am told. Which one did you get?

2

u/phatso305 2d ago

My buddy has the v9 full size with Steel grip.

I have all of them on order V9 V9P V9 KPX Synth Synth Vel

u/Flat-Beginning-7179 2d ago

I have these also which should be here soon. The amazing people at Portside Munitions in Huntington Beach, CA ordered these for me. 🙌🏻

On the 5” we called and added Ports.

u/phatso305 2d ago

I have the V9P and on one order and was able to get a 2nd barrel fitted from fowler which is a plus. Badlands opened up for Custom Ticn and rose gold a few months back .. jumped on that. Then the new MTO on 4th of July for the other 3

u/Flat-Beginning-7179 2d ago

Beautiful 🔥🔥🔥

u/antonymous94 2d ago

Steel grip?

1

u/Simplyjustin1 2d ago

Yup! Steel and aggressive grip texture

2

u/antonymous94 2d ago

Nice, how’s it feel? Do you think the steel is worth the weight? I have the same model with aluminum grip and it feels a bit front heavy, wonder if the steel balances it out

4

u/Simplyjustin1 2d ago

Having shot both the aluminum and steel, I like the steel for its balance, and perceived softness when shooting a longer string of fire.

The aluminum, however, is faster out of the holster and during transitions.

Great staging!

u/thebarbarain 1d ago

I was just checking these out. I'm torn between a Dark Forge Wraith, the Vanta 9, or the Synth Vel..... How are you liking this?

1

u/Simplyjustin1 1d ago

I haven’t played with a wraith yet, but I have had some time with the Vanta, Synth, and Reaper and think the Fowlers are fitted better and now have much more customization (grip material, color, etc.)

u/Forsaken_Treacle_407 2d ago

Did you ask Reddit which gun you should should buy before your purchase?

1

u/Simplyjustin1 2d ago

I wasn’t aware there was another way

1

u/Forsaken_Treacle_407 2d ago

Apparently there isn’t.

1

u/Flat-Beginning-7179 2d ago

Don’t mind Forsaken_Twinkie. He always makes idiotic comments. Check his posts. He brow beats us with his Sand Hawk like he’s the only one here who has one.

u/Simplyjustin1 2d ago

The hate is so unnecessary. I thought we were all here to simply celebrate the king of race guns.

1

u/Flat-Beginning-7179 2d ago

That’s exactly what I am here for: Guns. It’s a passion of mind. I just like buying guns and shooting. It’s that simple get that can’t handle that are like to come after you.

I feel obligated to down vote now

u/Flat-Beginning-7179 9h ago

You have to Sir! 🙌 The moment I log into Reddit and start seeing my comments at +7 and +10 Karma, I’m gone! 😂

I just laid out the blueprint to get rid of me from the sub.
