Hi guys,

I'm looking for a new side-arm and have a budget of roughly $150.
The ideal pistol would be full-metal, have a threaded barrel and be of a decent quality and performance.
I quite like the look of Glocks, and Mk.23s.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, Milo.

i have a we tech glock 17 its very dependable and is super accurate up too around 100 ft its like a sniper pistol with .20 gram bbs the only down side is its really loud. it cost me $115 from amazon.com

You might want to look for second hand tm mk23, those go for pretty cheap.

TM MK23 with LAM and Silencer.

That's my thought too. The damn things are silent too. If you want something with some more kick, try the KWA MK23. You can find it on sale sometimes, and it's a wonderful gun!

 

[slayerfanx55]

Don't do KWA. They're great until they break. And they will break. And parts are a bitch to find.

 

[MiloXC3]

Can't believe that TM comes with LAM and Suppressor! Are they good?

And I'm not too bothered about the case it comes with as I happen to have a spare Pelican case lying around.

And Spellisaac, where did you get your G17 from?

Thanks.

KSC/KWA are not [email protected] ... They are very reliable and it's fairly easy to find spare part for them...
Take a look here... http://kwausa.com/ they are the biggest supplier of KWA and they have pretty big quantities on spares... I've bought from them spares for a friends KSC G18.

Tm mk23 silencer is supergood, but LAM sucks.

+1 for the tm mk23.
I would say its the best preforming pistol you can buy.Ultra quiet with good range and power.
Plus if you really want to you can fit a g-spec 303 barrel, the fps hits about 420fps, but range is also improved a lot.

Only downside is the size with the silencer attached

 

[MiloXC3]

I do like the look of the TM Mk.23. The KWA Mk.23 costs about the same but doesn't come with a suppressor and LAM unit so I'll probably go with the TM.
Thanks all.

 

[WorstInFinlanD]

You can (should) modify the lam unit and put some high power led or something into it, as the LAM lights just about a small wc unless modified.

Fixed slide is putting me off slightly from the TM. I'm looking in to the KWA's and I'll get a suppressor for it later on, unless I change my mind when I actually get hands on with the weapon.

 

[slayerfanx55]

You won't find a suppressor. The threads are 16mm. I have not been able to find one anywhere else except Redwolf, and they're sold out. I really wanted one, but I decided to save up for the TM MEU.

 

[exomatt]

There's no sense in putting a suppressor on a GBB unless you want a longer barrel. It doesn't really quiet a GBB any.

I feel your pain, I couldn't deal with the lack of blowback, but if you don't really mind, then that's probably the best gas pistol you can find when you add on the VSR inner barrel.

And I agree. I would put a long barrel in any pistol I could. What barrels are compatible with the TM MEU, that would fit in a Gemtech Blackside?

 

[bitchtits]

For me the lack of blow back is a plus.
There is no noise and its super reliable,the two things I want most from any piece of kit I use.

If you want a blowback all the newer TM pistols are good,I loved my p226.

 

[SilentScope]

Is the pistol capable of taking propane or HFC only?

 

[MiloXC3]

Alright, scrap the suppressor. KWA Mk.23 should do fine for me.
Unless I can find a decent Glock within the budget!

 

[MiloXC3]

Anyone had any experience with this?

If not, what about this?

I'll do some research after work when I have time!
Thanks guys.
