Before the M17... there was.... The Paradigm Shift! By raising the bar to it's
absolute pinnacle, MILSIG Industries redefined magfed with first the Paradigm and now the
renowned existence of the Paradigm Pro LE. This marker is outstanding on multiple levels as it
delivers only the highest quality in design, performance, operation, and value. MILSIG made waves by
standardizing the inclusion of two magazines, which now is an effective industry standard
with new markers. One 10rd-First Strike Ready magazine and one 20rd-Regular ammo magazine
are packaged here, complete with two MILSIG MagPuls, highly detailed manual, MATS System,
rail sling mount, MILSIG ErGO Foregrip, MILSIG Flip-Up Sights, MILSIG Rail Covers, Tool Kit, Barrel Bag,
Swab, two MILSIG FazMags+Connector, plus random assorted bonus items! Upon first
look, you know the Paradigm Pro is a power to behold. In an otherwise excellent presentation,
the only conceivable points lost here is that the marker arrives in a foam-lined (albeit
most professionally) cardboard package. With a resemblance similar to that of a
Sig Saurer SIG516 Patrol, 'Elegant' best describes this marker's distinctive profile. The quality
of the milling for the aluminium full-scale RIS hand-guard is exquisite allowing for light
weight with a highly distinctive look. The integration of the new magazine well and blow
forward operating systems truly ups-the-ante for marker technology. Every detail of this
marker was very carefully thought out and implemented indicating perfection was the
only acceptable result, a MILSIG trademark. The upper receiver has a clean and professional
appearance that has a presence all its own. Marker Balance (or Centre of Gravity) is located
directly over the trigger which allows for very fast target acquisition while utilizing
a carbine-style configuration. Weighing only 2.73kg (6.02lb) including a Ninja 13/3000
HPA Tank, the Paradigm Pro is meant to be highly adaptable to a wide variety of MILSIM configurations.
Supreme semi-auto accuracy is the capability
the Paradigm Pro possesses. The fully optimized FSR Marksman Rifled Barrel is an outstanding
achievement of design, coupled with the HEAT core system, yielded accuracy and range that
can really only be matched by Carmatech Engineering's SAR-12. Each First Strike Round is rotated
through the matched rifled barrel to allow for increased projectile stability upon muzzle
exit; realizing superior accuracy. With the MILSIG Marksman Barrel Back set, a MILSIM
shooter can further tighten their performance preference: the .686 will yield greater range,
at the modest expense of accuracy; the .683 will yield better accuracy but may allow for
decreased marker reliability. Valken Graffiti, and First Strike Rounds were used exclusively
during the testing with an excess of +500 Graffiti and +300 FSRs fired. Acquiring a
head sized stationary target at ~50ft (15.2m), 10 of 10 FSR rounds were successfully placed
on target with consistent results achieved in a successive large scale MILSIM event.
During active target engagement, the furthest confirmed hit was at 81yds (243ft or 74.1m)
verified with a laser rangefinder. But yes, this marker has still has even greater range
to spare! The HEAT Core (High Efficiency Air Technology),
that can yield +/- 1fps consistent variance, is quite an improvement over the Tiberius
Arms T9.1 spool valve/blow-forward system specifically noting increased power and ease-of-use.
The Paradigm Pro was the first magfed marker that really had distinguishable recoil which
really adds to the authenticity of the platform. Care of wonderful and easy to follow videos,
HEAT Core maintenance is remarkably simple and the true brilliance of the engineering
is evident. With a design choice that has been duplicated, albeit quite well, the two-pin
ASA retention is undoubtedly a MILSIG Industries original. MILSIG SOS Pure Silicone Lubricant
seems to serve best in maximizing stability of the operating system and maintaining integrity
of the single orange o-ring located on the bolt tip. Little needs to be said about what
many of us have already experienced: simplicity, consistency, epiphany! This is what the MILSIG
M-Series represents to the MILSIM medium. Value is definitely maximized with this marker
offering; from the expertly milled RIS system, to the complimentary accessories, and high
level HEAT Core technology, the MILSIG Paradigm Pro was outstandingly priced with an MSRP
of $889.00. Only the highest quality thought and standards are delivered here. And nothing less.
