I have abandoned my pistol probe, for the pro pointer , and i can say with all shuruty I just love the pro pointer, i used to own one and got rid of it but i am so gladd to have it back , its fast, strong , and handy , and funn to use, i felt befor like i was taking out my suit caes when using the pistol probe and then it would not sound on most foils but the pro pointer hits it all , and can be super tuned with a pull tab in a string for deep targets, Garrett is on top as far as I am concerned. also it does not mess with my detector , like the pistol did now my detector runs quite when i am using the pro pointer
