My biggest problem with the type one is the fact that its so little I'd be scared to drop it, especially with the way they hold them in the show.

Very true... it looks like, if you squeee too hard, it'll squirt out from between your thumb and index finger.
I started watching "Encounter at Far Point" today and got to see the little guy in action when Torres whipped it out (presumably from beneath the helm console) to try and get the drop on Q.

Yup, the Redshirt helmsman was named Torres. No idea if he had any relation to John...

I'm in the middle of watching a rerun of "Repression," and Chakotay tells all of the other crewmembers to carry "hand phasers." Although some of the crew were carrying the Type-2's, like B'Elanna, there were other Maquis in subsequent scenes who apparently weren't carrying weapons at all. Though I haven't spotted any of the crickets, the mention is clue enough that they haven't been forgotten.

Hasn't this thread died yet? I go away for a week, it continues. . . The Type-I is actually pretty nice to hold; I have a toy one on a keyring which my brother bought me (I'm trying to persuade him to get me the Phase Pistol for my birthday!). Trying to get a capture using my webcam. . . nope. Fucking thing.

I find a little irony in the fact that you brought this thread back to the top of the stack in order to complain that it hadn't died yet.
I had a small keyring of the Type-2 phaser a while ago -- it was misplaced, so I don't have it now. It wasn't a full-size model or anything, but I remember noticing that it must have been rather difficult to hold and aim with the relatively horizontal grip. (I'd hate to imagine how the actors dealt with the first season dustbuster props!)

Isn't it Andromeda that features Kevin Sorbo routinely shooting at the bad guys with a hollow cardboard tube? That seems rough on the wrists.

Liam's humour remains rooted firmly in the Smallest Room. . . but he's almost correct. They were modified toilet brushes. 8)
And I was able to get my webcam working, incredibly. Just by unplugging and reconnecting it. Typical, yet I suspect it's just a short-term fix. Sony: nice webcams, crap software.

Another problem with the Type-1: it's so damn small that it's hard to draw from its little pocket space and hold, especially for big people with big hands. Worf couldn't even draw his Type-1 in "The Dauphin".

Worf never claimed to be much of an artist though.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ahem...
