K great, thanks for all the help guys. I think I am going for the Glock 19 from http://www.specarms.com/main.php since they are the cheapest I could find and live only a few hours from their store front location. For now I will not get a metal slide/barrel, but I may purchace one if the plastic slide becomes a problem or if I just want a more "real feel".

Again, thanks for all the help and I may be posting a review of this gun soon.

Ok, I'm here now. Ya, the 17/18 lack a lot of the features that the 19 has. Aside from metal upgrades and such, the 17/18 comes stock with a plastic recoil spring guide, plastic feed ramp (seen a couple break off from normal useage) and the frames feel like water pistols, where the 19 has metal (all the above) and the heavywieght, metal powder mixed with the plastic. I've played with G18s before, really don't like them. And I DON'T have small girlie hands, I wear a size 9 flight glove, and the G19 fits my ands perfectly. So don't think that the 19 is a litte tiny gun like a 26 is, the 19 is a whole lotta gun for what it is. And keep inmind, it's only 11mm shorter for barrel, and 10mm shorter for grip length, so it's not a huge difference between the two as far as size goes.

allright, then i gues its a good thing i went with the 19.
now i just need an enhaced recoil spring, and im set.

I saw one for sale for cheap. like $5. I'll dig around for you.

EDIT: Nope, my bad. Anyways, PM MadMax, he selles them got a good price, new Guarder enhanced spring guides.

ya, i didnt see them on his site, but it would make sence that he would have them.
any thing else you would recomend? (other than more mags)
the gun i got is a KSC G19 with metal slide and metal barrle. (and ya its a KSC not a KWA)
thanks,
Joe

Well, for not much cash, if you already have the metal slide & barrel, you can install a metal mag catch for cheap, you can add a tightbore, maybe a stronger hammer spring (cheap part, headache to install)............ larger O-Ring on the inner barrel to get rid of the inner barrel wobble.
