Honestly, a lot of users don't use their sidearms 90% of the time. They've invested more money in to their primaries, and would rather run those, rather than turn to their relatively cheaper sidearm. As a result, it sits in their holster most of the time, and whether you get a crazy custom built one or a cheap Chinese clone, really doesn't matter to much. It's just in your holster as a weight, or in that ultra critical moment where you're out of ammo on your primary and need to transition to your secondary... which may or may not function when you need it the most. (Getting good quality GBB mags tends to help with that issue... LOL).
For some, having a really nice custom built pistol is... indescribable. Because so much of it can easily be changed out to other components, it's easy to customize a pistol to be *YOURS*, that nobody can duplicate, and that's why the huge attraction to custom built pistols.
So... whether the R28 is "bad" or not, is really subjective and dependent on what your intended use with it is. I personally wouldn't be using it to shoot competitively, but if you're just knocking over some cans in your basement, or just as a holster filler, then it really doesn't matter too much. After all, what good is a pistol that just sits on your shelf most of the time?

EDIT: stupid question, does it matter if the rubber is meant for an aeg or can it be used in a pistol anyway? This is what I'm lookin at: http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/pdi-w-hol...marui-aeg.html |
I would say to just shoot it first... see how it performs to your liking. And upgrade wherever you find it deficient. In general, I've found the Army hop up rubbers to be crap, so Drakker's suggestion to upgrade it is a sound decision.
I have a lot of really good options in stock right now. Contact me by PM. After messing with a few setups, the A+ Bucking with A+ Strike Chamber, ILLusion Kinetics Steel Hop Up Adjustment Arm and Hop Up Dial. That combo makes for an extremely solid and vibration resistent setup that gives really good air seal, range, and tight groupings.
