...ok, I am DONE with these cheapass Expert SP100 guns, I have NEVER dropped one, but they dont last at ALL, and I rarely even use em. This is the fourth one!
...One of you wonderful folks please recommend a QUALITY gun, im thinking with as much metal-construction as possible.
...thanks!!!!

ZIM, the best gun I have used...HANDS DOWN.

Model K-51. They usually offer a special with it. It includes Acetone, which I take home and use for furniture stripping or oil based paint cleanup.

What makes the ZIM gun awesome is the lack of a nozzle. It can't break off when you drop it. Although what is even funnier is we've never dropped this gun...go figure.

The model they have with the "Air Dryer Kit" sounds interesting--after years and years of walking back and forth from the spot clean station to the blow chuck.

We use the 9800B from CCI. Had over two years and no problems.

Red Arrow' we tie them up so they can't drop. We also run them with Acetone, used to use tricloroethylene but it was way more expensive and left more ring marks, acetone dissolves fully cured prints and works possibly better on dry ink than wet ink.

yeah, with acetone though you have the potential to turn your spot gun into a flame thrower.
I used to do it with a lighter..heheh.
