2008.03.19 : SYSTEMA Training Weapon Model-5 Release Imminent!

Today we bring you exciting news regarding the highly anticipated PTW Model 5 Training Weapon! SYSTEMA is very pleased to inform us that production is on-schedule, and final release is imminent. Current tentative schedule points to end-of-March release date, with U.S. delivery expected to begin on the first or second week of April. Final U.S. Pricing for the new Training Weapon is as follow, and as soon as we received our first production run we will update with more information.

.................................................U .S. MSRP.......E.S.P.
Training Weapon Model 5-A4...........$1,295.00.........$995.00
40 Round Magazine.............................49.95........ .... 39.95
40 Round Magazine, 8-Pack.................299.95...........269.95
9.6v 2400mAh Battery..........................79.95............ 69.95
M90 Cylinder Unit (TW5-Specific)..........209.95...........179.95
M110 Cylinder Unit (TW5-Specific).......209.95............179.95
M130 Cylinder Unit (TW5-Specific)........229.95...........189.95

Finally, since there will only be 300 units (globally) for the first production lot, and the next production lot (scheduled for end of April) will be equally limited in quantity, we expect supply will be extremely short for the next few months. Therefore, please visit your favorite U.S. Official Dealer and reserve yours soon!!

*Note: E.S.P. = Estimated Street Price. Pricing may vary based on other factors. Please check with your local dealer for actual pricing near you. Pricing shown here are for reference only.

Maybe 1 will make it into Canada yet this year, but I'm not holding my breath!!
