Hi Steevy,
Just got mine yesterday, very happy with it overall  Definite improvement on the older model. Sadly though, it did not come with any dummy rounds!  I'm in the UK, so I couldn't honestly say if Off-World ship dummy ammo with it in the US. The 5 shot cylinder is, of course, still a .38 not a .44 special  but that works out ok for me as I have some inert .38 rounds in need of a good home!!! Hope that helps.
Have a better one,
Mike.

Hi SLK,
I'd have to say that the trigger gaurd is still something of a "pain"  Mainly on the middle finger. Its not really too much of a problem for me, I've certainly had to use much less "ergonomic" weapons over the years, but for someone with larger hands/fatter fingers it could certainly be a serious issue. Also the trigger gaurd is ABS plastic, which just doesn't feel 'right' to me, and it is, ever so slightly, wobbly! The gun is going to be stripped down and fitted with Don Parker machined parts. After that, maybe I'll get around to doing something about that damned trigger gaurd!!! 
Have a better one,
Mike.

Hi Andy,
The spring is still a bit on the weak side I'm afraid! It doesn't seem to be a problem when the cylinder is empty but when fully loaded with inert ammo, well, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence! It is probably the same spring as they used on the older model. Also, the cylinder release is rather too loose for my liking, it is, in fact, the only part that rattles when the gun is handled!!!
Have a better one,
Mike.

Hi Mike,
I'm from the UK and I've ordered an Off-World blaster off of ebay (shortly after loosing an ebay battle for a Sidkit at £605) on the 2nd of feb. I know I'm being a bit impatient but how long did yours take to be delivered?
Cheers
Wes |

Hi Wes,
I saw the SidKit on ebay myself, beautiful, but I knew that it would end up going for BIG money, way out of my league unfortunetly!!!
I ordered my Off-World by personal email before they appeared on ebay. I'd lost out before so I wasn't taking any chances this time!!! Ordered it on 24th Jan. it arrived on 2nd Feb. I had been tracking it online so I went and collected it from the Parcelforce depot myself, otherwise it would have taken a day or two longer, in my experience!!!  Remember that you will have to pay Customs Duty and a Parcelforce "Handling Fee!!!" About £21 in total! You can pay this online, at the depot, or at the local Post Office, if you're lucky enough to still have a local Post Office that is!!! 
Have they given you a parcel/tracking number? If they have then you can track its progress with these websites. Don't be surprised if it takes longer to clear HM Customs at Coventry than it did to get all the way from LA

Hope that this helps Wes, need anymore advice just let me know.
Have a better one,
Mike.

Yep, I got some dummy rounds for mine and the cylinder will not stay closed with them in.

It's great news that you have managed to get the Blaster through customs here in the UK. My last attempt was destroyed by customs. What's the secret?

Hey ridleyville, I think its all to do with luck. I'm from the UK and I ordered mine at the begining of the month with the reciever and got it 5 working days later with no custom problems.
Just noticed your from Billaricay, I'm from Leigh-On-Sea Essex, its a small (off) world. Oh and I've just ordered the LED pack from off world as well. |

| Will these off-world ammo clips fit any other blasters beside the off-world ones? |

They might fit the Hartford with some modification. They are just a tad longer, and pretty much copied after the Hartford. It might fit an older Coyle too, but it is just a tad small for that, and would also need modification. It is way too small for a Sidkit, and completely the wrong shape for any Rick Ross PKD's.
