Oldie needs advice on two-tone.

[Grandpa]

If you're able to buy a proper automatic air pistol from a firearms dealer then surely you have sufficient defence to buy a non 2 tone airsoft pistol already?

I don't need a defence or license to buy an air pistol (replica or not) unless it's over 16 Joules (I think) in power in which case I'd need a firearms license. However for a retailer to sell me an airsoft pistol that is a replica, even one that is less than 0.5 Joules in power, they require (by law) I provide a valid reason for why I want it and shooting tin cans in the garden (or living room) is not a valid reason whereas shooting people at a skirmish site is. As I'm a bit long in the tooth to take up skirmishing and I'm not an actor or crown servant who needs a realistic looking airsoft weapon I'm stuck with two-tone.

BUT - I don't think the item is actually in stock tbh

it is another website of onlybbguns or iwholesalers it seems

and onlybbguns don't have any in stock:

http://www.onlybbguns.co.uk/hfc-hg-302-mk23-airsoft-gas-pistol.html#.Vvbi6dKLSt8

but at £41:85 delivered - that is a bargain if you wanna take a chance of them having one left

even on only it is £50 - even with using the " RC10 " to get 10% off that takes it down to £45

so under £42 is cheap as heck

(RC10 don't work on airshooter site - I already tried that when I saw they might be same company)

sadly I wouldn't hold your breath but that is about one of the best cheap as chips gas guns you can get

27 or 28 rnd mag - go nutz

You could go nutz on a TM pistol or WE or a cheap n cheerful HFC - STTi - SRC (same company just rebrands)

ps - you are wise sir and understand the regulations governing airsoft - some may seem a little daft but we abide by them all the same

so refreshing to see that some people understand rather than - my gun why can't I do this or that with it attitude of some people

or bbguns4less - damn I don't like to recommend these guys....

oh well have a think and see what takes ya fancy - just use eye protection & common sense indoors

(not that you should go senseless outdoors either)

just remember they are non-blowback which you may or may not care about

soz - fogot to mention that but may be more economical on gas

@Sitting Duck Thanks very much for the info on the M23 and the offer of the GG-105 but I'm after a gas blowback. I purchased a Umarex GBB air pistol a couple of years ago and since then it's like there's something missing when shooting my other non-GBB pistols. I realise I could get better gas efficiency, distance and accuracy with a non-GBB but I'll put up with all that for the fun factor.

I'd go for a we glock 18. Nice, reliable and you can choose between semi and full auto for when you don't give a flying f*ck about accuracy.

An update.

I ended up ordering a KJWorks G23 which cost £67.50 and was delivered this morning. However I purchased that particular pistol because it was supposed to have a metal slide but the one I have received has a plastic slide and outer barrel.

Should I send it back or is the plastic slide version actually better than the metal slide version?

 

[PT247]

I'd contact the seller for sure if it isn't the one you ordered. Plastic will suffer less cool down than metal but if you only plinking then that shouldn't be an issue.
