I was thinking about getting a x50 blue or red which ever best buy has in stock. If i was to get a x50 would it have the m4 platform or the s7? I know they frist had the s7 when the x50 frist came out many years ago. But didnt they change that since with the m4 ? Also would the x50 have about the same range as my ix ? and the same off axis? And if anyone that owns a x50 could let me know about thier pros and cons.
9500ix has a slight edge over the X50 but not too much.
The 8500 X50 has been M4 for at least 2 or 3 years so there is a good chance the one you get will be M4 as well.
The X50 is a great choice. I have both versions and they both are fine with range and ramp. I have the X50 Rev 5 blue and the X50 6.1 and love them both.
Firmware updates for older S7 platforms have long since been discontinued. I wouldn't want to encounter any newer model laser guns with an S7. The older S7 still is great for radar detection on really winding roads. But in all other respects the M4 platform is better.
newbie here.
how do you know if you have an m4 or s7. I just my x50 and still learning how to use it.
Thanks!
While you're at best buy, see if they have the 9500i (in case you are getting x50 since its cheaper) - best buy has been clearing their inventory of the 9500i's to make room for only the ix and they are on sale for a price that is nearly equal to the x50.
