Yeah, I would have to agree I like the look of it!

Wonder what kind of internals they decided to go with?  That would make all the difference to me, because even with a lower price range like they are stating (200-250), I would choose CCM's quality/performance over it I feel.

But, to someone just getting into pump play and wanting to try it out I think this is a great product to have.

Though $200-250 is also where I would have pegged it, apparently the gun's going to retail for $419.95. 

It may be great for growing pump play - I'm sure KEE will do a good job of advertising and has hordes of fanboys that will consider giving it a shot, but for me, I'll pass.

WHAT!  no way for 419.95 will I pay for that.

Sorry, maybe I am spoiled by other companies but to me trying to compete with the high end pumps just isn't going to happen for them right outta the gate.

IIRC it comes with a barrel kit, parts kit, and multiple feed options. 

I kinda disagree with you.  Sure, if I had another $200 I'd get another CCM, but a high performance pump with a barrel kit and accessories for that is not a bad price.  I think it's pretty in line with what you get, and seeing as how Simon is the brains behind it I think it's safe to assume it'll have a nice pump stroke and good guts.

Well said.  At $420, a CCM is still like 50% more.  So there is a big enough gap in price to make this an attractive offering.  You do get a lot of extras and features too.  So long as the performance on these is decent out of the box, this should be another great pump gun.  Simon is a good guy and when he has his name behind something you can be pretty sure that it is a quality product.  But you also have to keep in mind that Empire is a big company so they are designing for some common denominator, so the complexity/features may be dropped slightly for simplicity and pricing sake.

I did not know that it came with all of those feature, if that is correct and it comes stock with all then I feel it would definitely make this competitive.  Again, as long as performance is there.
