Can somebody recommend a half decent sand blasting gun?

Nothing crazy, something with a good bang for the buck. Ideally something Amazon has.

My 60 gallon compressor is rated for 13.5CFM @ 90PSI

Thanks a bunch.

Thanks, most appreciated. I should have been more specific. I'm building a sand blasting cabinet, I'm looking for something with a feed tube.

If you're building a cabinet build it with a metering valve on the bottom and a triggerless gun with a foot pedal. Thank me later. Eastwood sells a kit to get you both gun & pedal for pretty cheap then build your own metering valve, but shipping to Canada led me to build my own & pick up the holdwin style gun on Amazon. For you it is likely a very good deal

I got the one with the pistol grip same style as Eastwood but if I were to purchase seperately again I would go with this for better clearance in the cabinet without kinking the suction hose:

Do not get the cheap pedals that are on Amazon with the small orifice holes. Spend the money on the Eastwood or similar pedal or buy the valve yourself (3/8 whistle valve) and build your own. I believe most come with a 1/4 whistle valve which I'm sure is fine as well but I used 3/8 when building mine, again because shipping to Canada would have been 2x the cost to build alone



This is the style you want:

Do not even be tempted with this style :

And then either buy or make one of these:

Metering valve is the best upgrade so don't skip that. I build mine out of 1" black pipe tapered down to a 1/2 hose
