New Pistol Novritsch SSP5 or SIG Air P320 Carry or Umarex (GHK) G45

[Baser]

Hello collective.

I have reached the point where I have more nice, upgraded rifles than I can field so have started looking at adding a nice pistol to the collection.

I currently have a couple of WE SIG 226's, a MK23 clone and a TM Curve.

The SIGs have served me well and the recently upgraded one shoots very well but looking for something shiny and new.
The MK23 is used as a secondary with my DMR, nice but not a big fan of the size, trigger pull and plastic feel to it.
The curve is used as a third (hidden) weapon for battle/mil sims in case of capture.

Watched the reviews on the Nov SSP5 and all look pretty good, not sure about its looks but I upgrade to get good performance and this one looks to have great performance out of the box.

Watched reviews on the SIG P320, looks OK, I am kind of a SIG guy but the cold weather performance of this one seems poor?

Friend has an Umarex (SRC) Glock and raves about it, don't know much about them, any ideas?

Keep seeing upgraded/custom SIG's and Glocks go through on the classifieds which look pretty, are these typically a good route to get a decent toy or is it a pandoras box of potential problems?

Any other ideas, have around £250-£300 to spend on the pistol itself and will buy a couple of extra mags along with a holster etc. I like to buy decent kit and hold onto it so looking for something that will long term live on my hip and serve me well.

TIA

I know exactly what you mean about the MK23. Mine shoots like a pocket sniper rifle, but it's absolutely massive and, if I'm honest, does feel a bit like a £3 toy gun!

I considered trying the P99 NBB as a replacement, but I've heard the aftermarket support isn't great and replacement parts can be difficult to source. Nowhere near the same level of upgrade options as the MK23, anyway.

In the end, I decided to double down and go all-in on upgrading the MK23. I'm planning on getting the metal slide to give it a bit more weight and a better feel, and eventually adding the Tridos stock system.

The performance is just ridiculous. It hops 0.40g perfectly and is reaching around 60–70m. Sometimes it genuinely outperforms my rifle, which is insane for a pistol!

I haven't used the other RIFs mentioned, so I can't really comment on those. My only other main pistol is an RWA BDS9, which shoots perfectly and looks awesome. I've done quite a bit of tuning to it, though. I think it's more of a lower-end pistol until you start upgrading it.

I am not a fan of the SSP5 mainly due to its looks but I have been tempted by the SSP28, because who doesnt want to unload a full mag in <2 seconds lol

I'm sure someone with more experience across the different pistols will have better insight, but I was bored at work and thought I'd throw in my two pence!

I had a Maruzen NBB P99 years ago and tbh I wouldn't recommend them despite being a huge fan of the P99. Aside from mags and parts being rarer than rocking horse poo, the trigger is terrible. To me it felt mushy, gave no idea of the break point and generally felt worse than the mk23

Yeah thats the impression I got when I looked around at some, was disappointing as I also like the p99 quite a bit from being a Bond fan growing up.

Nothing seems to come close to beating the MK23 it seems. (for silence, range etc)

I don't remember having any problems with performance and it was as quiet as the mk23 but the trigger and availability (or lack of) of mags just put me off. If you really want a P99 the only viable option is the WE which has it's own issues probably best left for another thread.
