I had a Silver Bullet for a few weeks and I had to sell it. I was just to big for me. It was great to use at home next to my computer, but I really wanted something I could carry around a little more easily. Next came the Protege v1.1 and after ........ I sold it. After looking around for weeks I decided to go back with Altsmoke, because I loved the quality of the SB, and I got myself the Silver BB. I love this thing. Small enough to carry. Powerful enough to give me the hits I am looking for. The battery life I can deal with. Thanks Altsmoke. I am suggesting the BB to everyone I talk to.
