Advice Wanted for Pistol

Troy T. Moore · October 25th, 2008, 21:17

Hello all,

Decisions, decisions... So many to choose from and so many different "qualities" of materials.

I am wanting something "full metal", meaning essentially frame, slide, and as much of the internals as possible. I am wanting durability, reliability, and function to be all "above average". It could be either blow back or non-blow back in function. I am planning on using propane to power it. I am partial to a Beretta M92 or Colt 1911, but would consider anything similar if it meets the criteria.

I know it is a lot to ask. I have no experince with pistols and have only handled a few brands and styles of AEGs. I am asking for your opinion based on experience or word of mouth.

Thank you.

and let me guess, you want it for under $100?

Really your options are limited to WE and KJW i believe. Both are not that great, but i would take WE over KJW.

Durability,realiability and good function. I would have to say go with TM or KSC.
If you choose TM there are many many options in regards to upgradeability.

If you want durability then your are going to have to spend probably at most $300

$230 for a decent one
$275 for a TM

Also remember to place these kind of things in the WANTED Section

I think a KJW "1911" Tactical(which is actually more like a 2011, the one that KOS have) is a good option. TM compatible, simple enough design, large gas capacity, and full metal other than the modular Tanio-Koba style grip...

I'd also recommand KSC Glock 19. Simple enough to upgrade to full metal and shoots hard and crisp...

+1 I plan to grab one of those yet. TM compatible sells it.

Thanks for the info so far, I will have to look at the ones you have mentioned.

As far as price goes, I have no trouble spending on quality, as I realize you get what you pay for.

KSC is top in my books.

KSC with a Shooter's design or Airsoft surgeon slide and you're good to go
