Hey looking for some help here. I sold this on EE a few days ago. The buyer asked if it was real because his other Tango Down Stubby has Tango Down on it. I bought it here on the EE w/o new packaging. I wanted to check in with those that may have one and could look at theirs for markings. I know companies change things over time. DD for example now marks their BCG's. Thanks in advance.

My stubbies have the TD web address on them and have no pressure switch cutout. Maybe that was a standard size cut down?

Thanks, just got your screen name and like it!

That could explain why I could never unscrew the freaking bottom cap, it could be epoxied on! Looking at their website they have shots with and w/o their name and info on it. This could just be a shot of both sides.

it's legit - the first versions of the K (also called the "Stubby") were cut down BGV-MK46 grips with the compartment cap glued onto the end, made at the request of certain users who wanted a shorter vertical grip. there are no markings on it because they were on the bottom end which was cut off. i have one exactly like your picture.
