It only "seem" like a copy, it's not a copy. WE1911 evolved from WE2011, rather than being a straight forward copy of the TM1911. As such, WE designed its own mag for the WE1911, though it does use the same valve as TM1911.

I pushed my WE1911 pretty hard. It was sensitive to cold weather, though that's as much as the single stack mag as anything else. She turned out to be a good work horse for me, but I also knew how to troubleshoot her properly.

Anyways, I wouldn't recommend a WE1911. In countries where you can get them closer to MSRP, they're pretty good. Here in Canada, for the same amount of money, you can probably do better. I'd recommend you to shoot for a KJW1911 or a CA1911 (both much less common than WE1911). Both are straight up TM clones.

Alternatively, I give KJW 6 months until they pop out a TM MEU clone.
