The Traditions Nitrofire was news to me and Dave at Lehigh Tuesday morning. Though the concepts are similar i personally think Dave has a much better design.
1-Traditions needs a 4473 form Lehigh's will not.
2-Traditions velocity is right around 2000fps with a 26" barrel, Lehigh is getting that velocity with a 17" barrel.
3-Traditions gun weighs 6#, The Lehigh design weigh's 4.5#.
4-Traditions primer case is 3inches long, The Lehigh design is 1.25 inches long and brass.
5-Tradions cost per shot is over $2.00 without primer, Lehigh cost per shot with primer is less then a $1.00
6-And obviously the Contender/Encore platform is a well known and prefered platform over Traditions.
I have photos to put up but my Photobucket account is down.
