Opinions needed for TM SIG Sauer P226 vs TM HI-Capa..

[ILLusion]

Actually, the 4.3 is newer than the 226, which is why there are improved internals over the 5.1.

and yes, like a real 226, the Marui 226 is a single/double action. Pretty much ANY semi-automatic pistol is single-action, but not all are double action.

thx alot for all of you that had give me feedback for me to pick my guns :cheers:

i finally came home with a Hi-Capa 5.1, life is really never what you'll expect and i was going to get the P226 in the first place but the box of the P226 had holes and crack on the cover (really bad imo) and box of my things is a really really important part for me too. I liked both gun almost the same anyways, just picked the P226 cos it a really really green gas really and newer gun, but finally had to get the 5.1 cos of the bad box of the P226.

Anyways, now i just hope i'll get lucky and hopfully i'll not encounter the o-ring problem that some 5.1 owners his gone though.... :borg:

... Anyone else thinking:

"Phew, it's sure good that he asked all those questions..."

P226. More holster choices and more accessories.

[Captain Tenneal]

Accessories? 5.1 and the 4.3 have rails too... Admittedly M6/M3 Insight Surefires don't look GOOD on them but they have as much accessory potential as the P226.

The ugprades alone the 5.1/4.3 have twice as many as the P226 (including cosmetic ones)...

but dude, a meatbasher kit is better then any light/lazer. least when you run out of BBs, you can beat your friends into submission with the front of your gun.

You, man. The box. It's funny that you learned so much, only to base your final decision on a piece of cardboard. It's funny.

That, and the way you phrased your description of the entire scene. Very nice. :cheers:

By the way, I'm not taking a dig at you, I really just found the whole thing pretty entertaining.

Never thought I would need one of those meatmashers but after mercying someone with the muzzle end of my pistol and their face took the weapon out of battery (thus rendering incapable of firing) I suddenly found myself wanting one. Back on topic though, stock the P226 and the Hi-Capa (5.1 & 4.3) are very similar weapons. As someone pointed out it's more about the feel of the gun in the hand that really matters. I find the P226 grip a little uncomfortable for my hands but the 5.1 is just about perfect (Tenneal with his meaty fingers likes the delicate P226, go figure) One distinct advantage that Hi-Capa owners have that no one else has mentioned is the fact that there are the TM 5.1, TM 4.3 and a slew of WE 5.1 and 3.8 variants. All of which use the same mags. If you run out of ammo in the field you may very well be able to find someone with a mag for you within your group.
