OK, I want to get a new pistol and I've narrowed it down to two.

The TM P226
I can obtain this cheaply, and a serpa which can be used on molle, belt and dropleg. So ideal holstering. I don't care a huge amount about upgrading unless it's cheap. Also, it's small enough and good on gas, both a plus. I don't mind the plastic. Whats the range, and how accurate is it in comparison to the TM Mk23?

TM MK23 full set
Silent, and accurate, however it's NBB (I really don't mind if it's quiet though).
It also comes with a LAM and silencer. I know the LAM is crap but I might squeeze a p60 drop in unit.
Problem is, it's bigger than a USP match! Even bigger with the gear. I can source a holster that fits it i.e. a tornado style molle holster, but that limits me to where I can place it. I can also source this fairly cheap.

I was considering a Hi-capa but there are no serpas for it. However there are many upgrades and it's better looking. Hard to find cheap though (For me)

Now any links, bear in mind I'm in Ireland. I'm just looking for your opinions on Mk23 vs P226 on range, reliability and ease to carry. Thanks. :tup:

Go on :

In both you can drop in a Nineball bucking or the like, the Sig is alot smaller and lighter than the MK23, and w/o the barrel extension the Mk23 doesn't perform as well.

The MK23 it's not a small gun... It's been a couple of years since I last saw one but it was bigger than the Hi Capa IIRC.
Though of these two I think the best is the MK23, I mean P226 is very good but the NBB will always be better for it's better gas consumption and low noise.

I don't own either of these 2 but this is my opinion.

Of the two, I would prefer the NBB for its gas consumption. However, a GBB with nice kick is just so darn fun to shoot, so it's really up to you.

 

[WorstInFinlanD]

I see you as more of a woodland than cqb guy, and mk23 shines if your hidden, and I usually carry my g-spec silencer in my pocket, and screw it on when things start to serious, so the mk23 isn't that big.

 

[inthetallgrass]

Thanks for the help so far!
Would this make a 5.1 hi-capa compatible with regular 1911 serpas?
(I'm on a tight budget so no point in showing me links to €5,000,000 parts )

I am on pistol hunt as well..probably going to buy it tomorrow.. my tastes have narrowed it down to the KSC sig226 or M9. I would love the KJW sig226 because of its CO2 capabilities but I heard it is of slight lower quality than KSC as KJW is still a budget brand..

I wrote this just to add my GBB side of the story..

So far I read the TM 226 is a top class performer.

 

[MiloXC3]

Anything by TM!

 

[inthetallgrass]

New plan, I'll get a TM P226, and when I get a job I'll get the TMMk23!

 

[Wolfgeorge]

Sounds good plan to me...

I got me a KSC 226 today and will review it soon. You might want to wait for my video...
I am kidding: GO buy! Your choices are excellent already. Let's cross review our pistolz.

 

[inthetallgrass]

Hehe, no bother.

Well i use a simple spring pistol, its not that i cant afford a gas pistol i just like the feel of it, it has a silencer and is 400 FPS, it is custom made useing a P99 body (lightweight, and cool looking), If you want to be really stealthy go spring, if you dont care then get any co2 pistol over 350 FPS, preferable with a silencer just to look cool , oh and always check multiple sites BEFORE you buy!

 

[LOLER_COASTER]

Shush you. Springers suck balls.

IMO, USP's are the best choice, but to each his own.

Please look over our spelling and grammar rule.

Thank you

Already have a usp match, too big, heavy, expensive, lack of holsters, and not great on the consistency. Still a beauty though.

To the guy above you, I live in Ireland whee the limit is 328fps w/ .2g bbs's :ashamed:
