Mike12 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Good Afternoon to All: I have some physical issues with my 'trigger finger' and find that using a double action airbrush is quite painful. I have read almost all of the airbrush posts, however, can not seem to come to a conclusion about finding a good single action, gravity fed airbrush. I noted that the Paasche "talon" was described as having the ability to act as though it is a single action. I would really appreciate any information and/or suggestions about finding a quality airbrush to fit my needs. Thank you in advance Mike Madsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
935k3 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) Take a look at this https://www.midwestairbrush.com/iwrem2grfeai.html Also The Talon and other airbrushes that have a needle stop can be used like a single action. You should look at the trigger types, they are more comfortable to use. Neo for Iwata TRN1 and 2 Hobby lobby has the TRN1 at $129. The TRN2 has a bigger tip and is probably better for bodies as is the Creos Ps-290 it has an optional fan tip included,spraygunner.com has it for $110 free shipping Edited October 29, 2018 by 935k3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I generally really dislike dual action airbrushes as well. Not because of any physical issues, but because for model building purposes, I really don't see the need for it. I like to just pull or press the trigger & go! I use an old siphon feed Badger 200 for most smaller stuff, and the "Creos" trigger brush pictured above for bodies. It is a dual action, but I paint like I drive. Pedal to the metal!!

Don Wheeler Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The Neo TRN and most pistol grip airbrushes are actually dual action. Pulling the trigger first starts the air and then moves the needle. Pulling back farther increases paint flow. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike12 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Thanks to those who responded. Being somewhat new to the hobby, I was unaware of the trigger type airbrushes. They appear to be my answer. Mike Madsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike12 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Visited Midwest Airbrush site: HP-M2 out of stock. Did the 'chat' and rep said that they were not available any longer. Not sure if he meant Midwest or Iwata. Went to the Iwata home page and found no matches in the search for a M2. Anyone know current info on availability and where they might still be found? Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Wheeler Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 You might want to look at my review of the M-1 before you use your M-2. There are things you have to be careful of. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike12 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Don, great review. I do not have any time with this 'gun' yet just a couple of days. I am very pleased with it's performance and find the size and trigger exceptionally comfortable. Not trying to convince anyone, however, I am happy with my purchase. I will use your review for maintenance definitely. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
