From some brief reading, it appears that the KJW 23 is a mix of TM G17 and G26 parts.

In this thread Ken does say that all TM's glocks have the same internal designs.
This makes sense to me, why would any company make a new set of expensive molds when the only difference is the size of the slide/ frame, barrel, inner barrel?
With this same kind of thinking, why would a company that is cloning someone else's product try to change mechanisms, and increase the cost of producing the copy, and risk messing it up? The whole point of producing a copy is to quickly turn a profit, without using too much of your own resources.

You could also look at posts 99-105 or so in this thread: http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?p=1710222
There are some exploded views of the TM 17, 26, and the KJW 23. To me, they all look the same.

A review of the KJW G23: http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=14144
Within the first 10 lines it says that a KJW G23 is based off a KJW G27, which was cloned off a TM G26, which according to the above links has the same internal designs as a TM G17.

Perhaps the easiest way to find out if they are the same or not is to just try taking apart your pistol following the videos, and if a step doesn't line up, then you know if it is different or not, and can still reassemble it if you don't feel comfortable proceeding.

EDIT: Just realized that you were asking about the KJW G27, not the G23...
Still, looking at the diagram from this link: http://www.greekairsoft.gr/manuals/m...G27+Manual.pdf it appears to have the same hammer mechanism.
