I want a g17 for a sidearm. WE-tech just released one and there isn't a whole lot about them yet. I know Marui made or makes one and have been curious about reticle.g to put one together for a bit, but don't know much about GBB pistols. I had a WE 1911 single stack, but it was always finnicky and jammed up. I hear people give WE veal often so I am weary about getting another one.

What's your opinions on the WE and other G 17's out there?

I've got a KWA Glock 17 (with trades) that I recently discovered is rare.. so now I'm selling it to buy a Y&P MK23 and throw the rest of the money at my rifle.

Anyhow, the Glock worked great the few times I've used it.

 

[the3rdeye88]

KWA makes excellent gas guns from what I hear. How much are you wanting for her?

A G 18c would be awesome to have, but I think that's getting even more rare.

 

[goldentrigun]

ksc g18c's are $150 on WGC. <ksc is kwa if you didn't already know.
add about 20 for shipping.

Dammit! I thought I'd settled that I wanted the TM FN 5-7, now I want that even more!

 

[inthetallgrass]

I have a ksc usp match (definitely rare) and it is brilliant, and gas efficient. If I were you I,d get a g17/18 with a ra-tech co2 mag adapter.

 

[the3rdeye88]

The WE or KSC? The 18c's are nice, but out of my price range. The other 2 Glock-ish pistols I've been thinking about are the KWA PTP and the Echo1 Lonestar/Timberwolf.

The WE is a Marui design so parts and mags are easy to acquire.

If you're looking for a gbb to skirmish with, I'd definitely go with a KWA. I have 2 KWA glocks and all have worked great since I got them a few years back. They're pretty dependable and you don't usually run into any problems with them if they're maintained.

If you're going for a more detailed gun, a TM or KSC would be the way to go since they're trademarked and have a few of those more refined details the KWA's don't.

Another side note: There's two types of KSC glock's, the Japanese and Taiwanese ones. Japanese ones are made to use 134a/duster gas, and the Taiwanese have a more beefed up internals to handle green gas/propane.

I'm going to be the oddball and suggest either a TM or a CYMA glock AEP. They are cheap, don't use gas, rechargeable battery, and I've had more fun with them than I have my gbb we and TM.

Definitely get a CYMA glock, they are actually very good, have better range and work in all weather conditions. Quieter too.

I have a Cyma P226 i just bought, and its the Cyma Glock in a different body. Shoots beautifully, at least 100 feet, and groupings depend how well your stance is (i get around a mansized target)

 

[inthetallgrass]

Well actually the p226s are newer and have stightly upped internals. They preform the best out of all three.

 

[felix]

Ive never seen any reviews regarding the P226, and i thought id take a leap of faith with it. Ill have to check it with the Cyma Glock and the TM USP/Glock

 

[inthetallgrass]

That's just what I'm told, that and it is a year newer. (Maybe they all have the slightly new internals as they went out of production for a while)

But it goes like this supposedly
CYMA Deagle<DE USP<CYMA Glock<CYMA P226< Practically all Marui aeps.

Actually how are Tm MP7's?

 

[the3rdeye88]

An AEP is definitely out of the question for me. I'm still waiting on more reviews. ASGI said that they will be getting T-Code holsters to fit the G17. If they fail to release one when I am finally ready to make a pistol order I will just have to get the tried and true 1911.

 

[felix]

Check Airsoft Forums whole AEP section, its all CYMA Glocks and how awesome it is.

I havmt used the T-Codes, but personally I like either a Safariland style dropleg holster, or a blackhawk serpa. They would hold it probably just as well, but are made for real steel so you know you wont have any problems.

 

[the3rdeye88]

The G17 is wider than a Glock 17 so it won't fit any of the molded 17 holsters. I've heard rumor that it might be closer to a Glock 21. ASGI told me that they will be getting "custom" G-Code holsters. I assume that custom would mean for a wider Glock model.

Never base your opinion on real steal. Unless it's a TM 1911 it'll underpreform. And AEP's have better rAnge then GBB, are also upgradable and can be used all year round.

 

[the3rdeye88]

I'm just talking about the classic styling of the 1911. I'd go with a KWA or KJW. I like the feel of a GBB, that's why I don't want an AEP.

 

[inthetallgrass]

Well, the KJW 1911 isn't all that great, neither is the WE or even the KSC
KJW>KSC in terms on 1911 performance (Not quality or efficiency though)
I'd say buy a c02 KJW or save up and get a TM1911
OR even better - A WA 1911 - won't preform as well as the Tm but it'll feel like an Inokatsu 1911.
