Hey, I've been looking for a upgradable sidearm for a while, but i cant get any solid opinions... Any ideas on a good upgradeable sidearm?
What's the most upgradable gbb pistol out there?

Mixem is right. Hi-Capa 5.1 is like the VSR of pistols.

rlly? Most upgradeable (as "the one with most upgrades available") is definitely the G17...
Every little piece has upgrades available on that platform, so much so that you can build the gun from upgrades parts only if you want to. And end up with a true beast of a gun.

no way Dimitri. click that link i posted and look at all the Hi-capa parts compared to glock parts. And they only carry from a few companies out of the dozens making aftermarket parts. you can build a dozen hi-capas from scratch and never use the same part twice.

Both have ample parts. So long as you know exactly where to look.

It seems you really don't know about G series. The amount of upgrades is ridiculous, options are so wide that it makes it extremely hard to choose from.
Yes, you can upgrade everything on a HiCapa. But you have at least 2 or 3 times more upgrades for the G Series.
Anyway, both are good choices for "upgradeability"
well i own a fully custom capa and a stock aw capa. the tm cost at least 4 times the mony, but to be honest it is more fun and gimicks than anything. if id want something fancy but affordable i would buy a aw capa, upgrade hopup and barrel and call it a day.

To be fair here, the reason why most US based players think there aren't as many G series options out there is probably due to how much G-company restricts sales of their "property". While hicapas and their clones can be found in almost every US based retailer. So in effect, since there's a perceived lack of G-gun(s) out there, most people in the states probably don't spend as much time looking around for their upgrade parts.

That does not apply to me because there isn't any us based retailers that sell good upgrade parts. All the sites i visit are from china.
TM/KJW G17(G-series) and TM/KJW Hi-Capa are good choices.
And if you live in the US, go with a TM/KJW Hi-Capa 5.1.
The G-series is import restricted, so you will be running a risk(Fine), if you import a G-series gun yourself.
Parts for both are plenty.
Keep in mind, the Hi-Capa 4.3 have some special parts, and they can be hard to find.

A couple of other things to take into account when choosing a pistol is how you will mount it.
I like quick detach holsters like the Serpa holster. I don't think you can get a Serpa holster for a Hi Cappa. So the Glock has the quicker draw.
The other thing to take into account is the weight. The glock is one of the lightest pistols where the Hi Cappa (depending on the length you get) can be one of the heaviest.

there are serpas that work with slight modifications. i choose the hi capa over other guns for the BB and gas capacity.

There are SERPA holsters for 1911s. Which from my knowledge the 5.1 hi-capas are fancy looking 1911s. Right?

As long as you do not get a 18c you shouldnt have any issues.
