All of the Glocks have both a Japan and a Taiwan model - Japan being KSC, and Taiwan being KWA according to what we've established. But the price difference is HUGE for some of the guns - the Glock 19, for example, is $130US from Japan, or $95US from Taiwan. The M92 Elite goes from $150US to $100US.
So, if he paid for a KSC, he definitely got screwed from a retail perspective if he was shipped a KWA - regardless of any functional similarities/differences between the two, or even if they're idential - he paid for something with the difference (even if it was just the box).
That said, especially in light of what Roger just told us, I'm not accusing anyone of foul play (this sort of thing could be an innocent mixup even under the worst of circumstances). Just saying that someone paying for KSC should not receive KWA =) Unless it's a full-metal KWA G19... God how I wish I'd gotten one or two from you for $200 when I had the chance.

Oh, absolutley, I completely agree with you as well. I know you would not be accusing anyone. Sorry If I came accross that way
I was just stating that the gun itself is pretty much the same quality. But you are correct in that the politics come into play and the "brand name" KSC is usually more expensive than the OEM name of KWA. Also, you are correct that if a KSC was ordered, and expected, then that is what should have arrived, and if it did not, then for sure it would be the retailers responsibility to either credit the difference or have the customer return the KWA and send out the correct KSC.
Your also right about the $200 G19 w/metal slide we put out long ago! I still have mine. Honestly, I have been working on getting more of those in lately too. If I manage to score some more, then you will certainly know about it
They are easy to get, but trying to get the deal I get a year ago or so is a differnt storey where we can blow them out for $200.00.
