    That tech is high energy. Seems a little nervous.

    Hey Simon,

    I've always been curious (and wandering the internet while stuck in the snowstorm reminded me), why was the Empire Trracer so short lived?

    Low sales numbers. A few thousand units a year isn't enough for KEE to keep a product alive.

    I was at the shot show all week in Vegas and had to change my flight to get back before the storm. I was on the last flight out that made it.

    Anyway. The shot show is something else and makes me cringe at the size our industry is in comparison.

    Any plans to expand into real steel? Or at least parts for real steel?

    I already sell my camera mounts to real steel users.

    I also bought my first cnc machine to build AR and 1911 parts but NJ laws killed that.

    No immediate plans but it is one of my hobbies and I see somethings I would like to do.

    Truly a shame. My Trracer is the one Nelson-based pump I've ever been able to shoot comfortably. No idea why, but it fits me like it was built for me. I always tell people, I sold off my S6 because I like my Trracer better.

    It's definitely a marker I want to pick up just to pull out for a game or two every once in a while.

    Incredibly good fun, he's full of stories about his time at Lotus & Alvis.
    Picture didn't work, but I am intrigued as I have two threewheelers (Spyder and Drift Trike) and contemplating building my third (Sports bike powered reverse trike).
