Honestly, if you can fork out the cash for it, go TM and never look back. I just recently got a TM PX4 and swapped the hopup rubber to one that allowed me to get "overhop" with .3's, and just look at the results. This is my channel for those who want to subscribe(I have sniper related video's):
Summer Project
As some of you may remember, I had a thread on a "winter project" (here: http://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/phpBB/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=1340) that I had posted a while ago. Well it ended up never happening, as I switched to another pistol. However, I am back, and ready to attack another pistol again, as I have some extra cash coming in. This thread will log all of my work, plus allow you to offer me some info that may help me with my project.
I am planning on slowly building a GBB, similar to how I built my primary rifle. Start with it in stock form, and use it, slowly upgrading as parts wear down or I feel need some better quality parts.
Choosing the pistol:
This is probably the most important part. I had been planning on getting myself a KJW glock, as I found one in stock at evike.com. However, I checked to see how many extra parts (replacement/upgrades) were available, and so far I have concluded that they are scarce. :-/ This is a huge CON for this GBB.
On the contrary, I am also considering a 1911, a GBB that has numerous parts that most likely will always be in stock, as numerous companies offer the parts on their sites.
I do not exactly have a large sum of money to buy a TM at this time. However, similar to my primary, the UTG mk96, I plan on upgrading a clone GBB slowly. While I here the TM's have a great hop up design and are great GBB's, I want something I can work with and buy new parts for. Seems silly, but I want to upgrade it, as this will serve as a nice project for me, plus I can slowly dump some cash in while STILL being able to get out to a game. That means I need money for mags, bbs, etc. and not just the gun itself.
I am leaning towards a WE 1911 of some sort. I am not sure which one yet, but it has to be one that has numerous parts available that will be ready for me when I need them. I also saw they have the base O-rings in case mine were to dry, crack, wear down, etc. That is also a huge plus.
So let me know what kind of recommendations you have. I want these to be 1911 models, so post here what you got.
