My Archon V3 is Finally Here

[Antron007]

@Gojira76 - I see you have your covertech wheel on the right.

 I have a dark initiate le v4 with the wheel on the left and it's a small hilt so when i grab on the low end with my left hand the wheel digs into the meat of my palm. It's kind of uncomfortable and I find my self rotating the saber in my hand 90 degrees to where only my pinkey touches it as it faces the back or 180 to where it's on the other side. 

 Are you left or right handed? Or how do you hold the saber two handed?

 I ask because I'm currently thinking about the Archon 2.1 or 3. I see that they have the 2.1 emitter for $45 in the store but no v3 emitters yet so I almost want to get the V3 just because I don't want to end up paying even more for it later but it's got the classic look which means I have to have it at some point. Good ole fear of loss. But I really like the 2.1 emitter mostly because it's deeper and I see the individual pieces as a little more MHS and I want to collect a few MHS pieces so the hilt is perfect.

 If I get the 2.1 I was going to go silver with discs and CG if I go v3. The more I see the v3 the more I think I'm going that route. Especially when I see it in the CG. Very nice Points to you.
 
 I can put a covertech in later if I decide I want one. But I'm curious as to how it works out for you on the right side. You're thoughts appreciated.

I am right handed. The Covertech also digs into my flesh as well. The Archon V3 is not good for spinning unless you hold it by the neck. I have never dueled, but I like two handed when I swing my saber.

Thanks for your input. I'm going to go V3 and hold off on the wheel and put one in later if I feel I need it. I haven't pulled the trigger yet but it will probably happen before the night is over.

So has your neck broke at all or is that just some people trying to give us a bad name like always? Just curious. Really been wanting one lately and might get me one this week if I'm lucky enough

I haven't banged mine around too much because I don't like the blade jiggle. That being said, mine looks real solid. I've only had it a couple of weeks but it seems real solid. I'm not worried about it breaking. If it weren't for the jiggle I wouldn't hesitate to give it a good banging but I'm afraid of the blade coming out.  Even though no one has had it happen to them, I don't want the honor of being the first.
