tm 4.3 hi capa

[hattrick]

yes no?
Keeping in mind this is my first gbb and my first most expectation is durablity

-complications with installing metal slides?
-somthing about the hammer defect carried down from the 5.1 to the 4.3? (with the deadly hot temp outside?)
-im left handed >.<
-would i be better off getting the 5.1 for any reason?
-is the tm hi-cap -too- noob friendly for a first time gbb, or would i just get frustrated with lets say....a ksc usp compact

I was rifle shopping last week, but when I handled the TM hi-capa 4.3 it felt so "right" I bought it. Haven't finished the deal yet, still have to finish paying it off.

Left-handed / right-handed isn't as relevant as which eye is your master eye.
Just my 2 cents, but I think the 4.3 is a good call.

As far as I know, there are only a couple of 4.3 metal slides, as opposed to dozens for the 5.1.

the 5.1 is ambi so you can use it with your left and. if you want the upgrade and but shit on the gun the 5.1 is the way to go the 4.3 is small but as a 1913 rail in the frame plus the 4.3 and take 5.1 mags with no problem

cant go wrong with the TM hicapa guns. Arguably one of the best out of the box GBBs.

final word : droc is the man

the 4.3 has a safety lever only on the left side of the gun whereas the 5.1 has it on both. hammer defect? by that do you mean the grip safety problem? my 4.3 has a working grip safety whereas the one on my 5.1 doesnt seem to do anything but apparently it can be fixed. the mag release is right handed but i can't see it causing too much of a problem. the most ambi guns are berettas, but the hicapa kicks the shit out of any current make of m9 or m8045. go for whichever model pleases you more. theyre both bloody excellent.

I have a KSC USP .45 (mostly the same as a compact), and until recently, I had a HiCapa 5.1. In real life, I love the USP's, but the airsoft USP just doesnt compare to the HiCapa. From the smoothness of the slide, to the crisp blowback and fast cycling, the HiCapa is hard to beat. Great beginner gun IMO. Not that a USP isn't, but as far as function goes, the HiCapa is a better choice.

I own a 4.3 it will take most upgraded parts for
the 5.1 except the slide , I have installed reinforced loading nozzle and
shooters design stti slide and extended slide release ,by the way that slide was the easiest slide i have ever installed no filing at all , the only problem i see is being left handed and the safety position other than the the guns wonderful good luck

can the 4.3 take a 5.1 recoil / hammer spring?
