Plus pistols just kick ass

Theres no doubt the pistol would have its uses, and I like the look of the 1911too. Would you recommend that model? I've heard good things about it, mainly from the vets, but its always good to get an independant review.

kjw m92fs, kjw glock,ksc glock, we baby high cappa or tf 11!!!!

I started by going with a primary first like many other people here have suggested. I ended up going with a Marui SIG 552. It's a nice gun for short and medium range work but it's a bugger to work on. I picked up a pistol for my kit later after I had several magazines and a decent battery for my SIG as something to fill a holster, but to be honest it came in handy in the last game I went to.

I love my TM 1911. Shoots like a dream, easy to work on, and great range. The only thing ppl dont like is its a plastic frame and slide however ive been using mine for the past 2 years on propane with ZERO problems... All the new TM's can take propane with the plastic slides (ie. 1911, 226 etc.) Some ppl dont like the plastic but do you want to feel a metal gun, or use a great performing gun?

Personally I stay away from WE and cheaper brands because i hear them always breaking... Its only my opinion and i dont like taking chances. In my experience i never cheap'd out and because of that i've never had any headaches.

The only thing is a metal guarder kit can run you up to $300 in canada...

And the quality is WAY different. I've owned a few WE Hicapa 5.1's, and they all had problems or just had things I didn't like.

Bought a TM Hicapa 5.1 with a Guarder metal slide and I love it and I will probably never sell it. Has excellent performance, and can shoot nearly as far as my TM AUG firing at 400FPS. It's crazy.

The TM pistols do put AEG's to shame for such a short barrel... though most ppl cant shoot pistols accurately enough to matter

jesster202 · September 5th, 2008, 03:36

now ill agree with you bout the 5.1 but im talingbut the 3.8 inch baby hi capa havent heard of one breaking yet. as for tm being propane edy plasitc ill still say it isnt safe to do so!

sgtscarfy · September 5th, 2008, 07:04

and why not? Ya logically its less structurally sound however ive put mine through about 3000 rounds with no cracks or faults. I know of plenty of ppl who use their stock 226's, glocks and 1911's with propane. However its limited to the new models and I cannot guarantee it for any others. TM makes some high quality pistols and I swear by them, but then again who am I? Just a airsoft player who loves his pistols. Plus if the slide cracks in 2-3 years it just gives you an excuse to buy a full metal upgrade...

FOX_111 · September 5th, 2008, 09:12

Just tp say ot again for new people, a side arm should be the last peice of equipement you buy, as it's one of the least usefull. It's better to have a good, working AEG, plenty of mags, a good vest to carry those mags, a good battery to last all day long, a good charger to charge that battery and so on.

As for the LZ game this weekend, I'll be there to very ages also. There will be plenty of us.

Donster · September 5th, 2008, 10:33

so how to the WE Hi-cappas compare to the TM one's in your opinion m102404?

Shirley · September 5th, 2008, 10:37

WE Hi-Capas have a harder kick, not very good made metal, and less parts parts to upgrade?

I know that plenty of guys have them and Chrunchmeister has posted a functional review.

And likely less parts available to replace broken parts. Not as bad as KJW though.
