Spares and mags won't be easy to find, pretty sure they're out of production. TM are the standard spec so easy to sort, they shoot well and are reliable, get a TM otherwise you'll just end up regretting it.

People say that TM HI capa > WA HI CAPA but, people say WA 1911>TM1911.
People say that the WA are just more durable.
Parts arent that hard to find, most people that have them arent retailers, they are private sellers.
Retailers have alot of OEM parts though.

They're old, spare parts are hard to find, plus they're not very efficient compared to Marui pistols even though they're made from plastic.

Marui is a better GBB pistol manufacturer overall than Western Arms.

Ok, still many people say they are on par if not better. Not saying this is true, ive been told this. Some parts are compatabile as well. I also hear WA plastic is more durable, as well as the internals.

Its kind of Biased, the way this is going. All I see under Guns: IS TM stuff, Im mainly asking people who have had BOTH who can give me their opinion. Its human nature to think what one person has is the best.

Western Arms are outdated, I don't even know if they're still an active manufacturer.
I can comment on the plastics used for their 1911's, they're similar to Marui but the internals are a little better than WE 1911's. I owned a WA M1911A1 Magna Tech, I can definitely vouch for the Marui 1911 only because of the availability of spare parts, upgrade parts, metal kits, better quality overall and the availability of spare magazines.

Because Marui is, overall, the best manufacturer when it comes to gas blow back pistols.

If thats the one you want get it. Must say though why start a thread asking advice and ignore everything said. Every point given you have argued with and dismissed. People have taken their time to help you like you asked them to and you have responded by coming across smug and a bit disrespectful. TM is renowned worldwide as the best pistol manufacturer but you have heard different so obviously everyone else is wrong. Get want you want stop wasting peoples time and fu, actually I will stop there dont want a warning for saying what everyone is probably thinking.
