Regulator

[TLXshoota]

What exactly does a regulator do to make it one of the "first upgrades you should get"? And, should I pick up a longer barrel then the one that came on my TLX?

A regulator does what the title says. It regulates the air flowing into the marker. Upgrading to a regulator allows you to better control the air flowing into the marker allowing better consistency (which improves accuracy). It is highly recommended to use a regulator.

So what is a good one to buy? I mean there are alot on the market what makes one better then another assuming price is not an issue.

look at my sig, where it says this is the answer to your question, there is a list of regs there

If money isn't an issue...for the aka 2-liter reg. It is the best on the market and people get +1 -1 over the chronograph; however, if you aren't real serious into paintball it just isn't worth the money. You can get a Bob Long Torpedo which are simple in design and are great for the money (around $60 new).
