I was wondering if anyone owns a Percise or Legacy mod. Looking for the pros and cons on them.

poking around the APV section will get you better info then out here i would think.
I own a Precise Plus 18350 and love it 
This is my favorite all mechanical mod 
It consistently hits hard every time the button is pushed. The bottom button is very easy to push with my finger as it requires very little pressure to activate. I love the locking mechanism so I never have to worry about it accidentally firing when in my pocket or purse. Its well built and really should last forever which can't be said for most APV's. Lifetime guarentee is a plus should anything ever go wrong with it. It feels good in my hand. I've used attys, RA Attys, cartos, and clearos on it and all have worked great.
So far I've found no negatives that belong to the Precise Plus itself. The negatives aren't associated with just the Precise but with all all mechanical APVs: because there are no built in protections one does need to be more careful with ones batteries. Being all mechanical it is not regulated so as the volts drop you can tell the difference, but to me that's simply the way to tell its time to change the battery
Because the Precise is an expensive all mechanical APV I resisted getting one for a long time. In the case of the Precise Plus I've found it to be money well spent and wish I'd gotten one sooner.
I've tried a lot of APV's but the Legacy isn't one of them so I can't compare for you.

I've owned both, I still own the Legacy, the Precise is great, durable, all around great.
What is different? The button is a little different, both are good though. The Legacy is a little bigger, but also allows for the add on of an extention to use an 18650 with a Kick, you can do the same with the P+ with the Kicklet.
The price is the biggest difference for me, the Legacy is right around $100 for the Legacy + extention, the P+ and Kicklet are about $230.

jkmtwo, how many turns does the locking ring on the Legacy have to make before the switch is locked? Easy one-handed operation?
Testing now....4 or 5, I lock it with my pinky often, which should tell you its pretty easy, the P+ switch is way harder to use one handed, for locking and unlocking purposes.
Agreed. The Precise+ button swivels around and it has to be lined up perfectly to slide the lock in place, it's rare to be able to do it with one hand. As great as the P+ switch is and it really is super, SUPER light, I could never get used to the "finger groove" and I ended up trading it. It really is an awesome PV, and if you could fire it from any position, not just how it lines up with your hand I would still have it.
I ended up purchasing a Legacy Mini with an extension tube so I can add a kick if I want.
