i think its the feel of the gun. Comparing the TM and KJW P226 side by side. Yes the KJ does feel heavier in the hands, yes it has full metal. But its the indescribable "feel" when you rack the slide of the TM, and give the gun a good shake for and to check for rattles and its solid build; immediate you can tell which brand has better craftsmanship. Gas it up and give a few shots and even though there is a nicer sound of KJ's metal slide cycling, IMO it cant beat the sensation of shoot a TM GBB.

in car talk, KJ may be a Hyundai, TM may be a Lexus. The quality and reliability is there, it still functions as a gun, but when compared againts a Lexus, it lacks "feel", quality, fit and finish, performance.

These guns come close and if i were to choose one to take to the field it would be the KJW P226 simply because its cheaper and it does the same job; i wont feel as bad if something breaks in my KJ P226. My TM will be a wall hanger for now.
