Don't pile the hate on, but I'd reccomend a WE p226. My 228 (essentially the same) is built like a bomb case and only ever let me down when there was snow on the ground or when I abused it badly. Other than that, it's been dropped, kicked, bashed and generally given a hard time and it still keeps going. A good hop rubber and barrel wouldn't go amiss though (bought a maple leaf set from milspec for about 18 quid and now it shoots more accurately than I can shoot it)
