If you run a remote on your main marker and use the PTP as a backup, you should be running a remote on your pistol too. With a slide check you can degass your main gun, switch the hose to your pistol with quick disconnects, and regas the pistol all in under 4 seconds (done it, no problem). No more 12 g powerlets (which cost as much as paint), and no more messing around.
If you use a PT Pro and have a remote, you may be aware that putting the two together is hard. First, you need to buy the bulky bottomline kit, then put in a C/A to quick disconnect adaptor for your remote hose. You marker doesn't holster very well now, you've paid a lot of money, and you have a bunch of useless metal on your marker now and the remote sticks out under the grip frame as is in the way.
If only the little hole in the bottom was threaded 1/8" NPT like all other paintball fittings you could easily run a remote straight from there and eliminate the bottom-line setup, but it's a bizzare garden hose fitting thread from Africa. Well, I've had some specially threaded male QD fittings custom made for my PTP's, and I have a few extra. Anyone interested?
