The DLX Luxe IDOL, with a redesigned bolt for smoother handling and shooting plus a larger OLED screen, offers significant improvements over the Shocker ERA including ergonomics and a premium feel. Despite similar core functionality, the IDOL’s design advances and features like a metal-on-metal trigger stop justify its higher price at $1799.00.
The milling on this gun is absolutely wild, with a dragon theme that’s quite apparent. You can see those cuts representing dragon scales, each meticulously designed to fit over the surface. It’s crazy!
I got a sneak peek, and you can see Ryan Morehead sketching up the case. In the picture, they’re changing the barrel, and the front foregrip now appears to be rubber with added gray notches for better grip. The trigger frame grips have a new cutout design, and interestingly, there’s no OLED on the back, which Luxes had in the past. While it might not matter much for regular users, tech-savvy individuals may miss the OLED screen. I assume there’s a screen on the other side. The barrel and gun’s milling seem redesigned with vertical lines.
When the Luxe X debuted it introduced the new DLX battery and USB charging system. Now only a few months after the TM40 releases, DLX have a new wireless charging system that replaces the current Luxe X and TM40 battery.
