I have two WE Glocks and I have been perfectly happy with them, but I wanted to try one of the TM ones. I have always thought the best looking Glock frame was the Gen 2 (the one without a rail). Since Guarder makes one of these for Gen 3 TMs and the Glock 22 has some little improvements over the original Gen 3, I decided to go for that one over the latest Gen 4. I have a very specific purpose in mind for this new purchase. I intend to keep it all plastic, and use it only with 144a in my garden. Velocity is not important to me. But I do want to get rid of that ABS frame. I feel confident enough to transfer the TM parts into the Guarder frame, but I understand there can be a problem with the main frame screw on Guarder frames. Apparently it can result in the slide not being completely aligned with the rails. I understand that shimming will fix this, but I don't really understand where the shims should go. I would be grateful if rocketdogbert or any other experienced pistol builder could advise me.

Thanks again.

Do you think the 15mm cylinder in the bbu of the latest TM pistols, which gives snappier blow back, will also put more strain on the plastic slide and wear things out faster?
-
Good points.
-
Thanks. Having looked at the parts diagrams I can tell you that they don't have weights in the grip like the 1911s and M9s. On a slightly different topic, why do people say you should steer clear of the older Marui designs (ie. most of them) and go for the later models? I understand that the early Beretta 92s are very outdated, but what about the rest? The full size USP may be a great performer, but if you don't happen to like the look of one, what is the point of buying it? You might prefer the look of the Glock 34, but that too is an older design, and presumably not a recommended buy.

The original one with the thicker grip. Why is it so much heavier ( by 60-70 grams) than the later E2 version? It can't be just because of the larger grip, can it? How would that alone account for another 70 grams. Maybe it is something to do with the old style magazine with the thicker metal base plate. But the 226 R now comes with the E2 magazine and it is still advertised as substantially heavier than the E2 pistol. Is it more plasticky looking than the E2, or about the same?

Lovely gun which I paid £135 for and have never used. I haven't even adjusted the hop. It has only been test fired, which is obvious from the state of the barrel breech block which shows only a hint of wear. Looks good, shoots well. Comes with one mag and a case. I know I will regret selling it, but I am gradually reducing the number of my pistols which, these days exist more for decoration than anything else. Aiming to get down to a Glock, Hi Capa and a couple of plastic TMs for garden gunning. £70 collected. Add £10 for postage. If interested, please supply me with your full name, post code and UKARA number.£70

Just a quick question: How many photos can be posted for one advert on the Prefired sales forum?

Black Cow Cow grip with self adhesive rubber grip tape, full TM internals, an Airsoft Masterpiece Edge black trigger, and an Airsoft Surgeon low profile magwell with lanyard hole. Included are three Cow Cow grip tapes and a silver trigger blade with two pins (they are very easy to lose ), should you wish to swop it for the black one. The silver trigger quard is shown on an original TM grip, which is not included. Price is for one grip only. The rubber grip tape tends to peel away at the edges, but closes easily with hand pressure or if a little heat is applied. It will peel off leaving no residue and, if I were keeping the grip, I would remove it completely. The additional grip tapes are of the sandpaper type, should you wish to try them. Personally I would leave the grips without tape of any kind. Or maybe have them stippled. Never skirmished. Looks new, although there is a tiny mark on the trigger blade which is not visible. The screw that connects the base of the hi capa frame to the top of the trigger guard is not included, but the two silver screws for each side of the grip are. £35 posted£35

Thanks again.

Thanks. Pity they are no longer available. Excellent work. Considering it is all stock, that is very impressive. Does the cerakote on the slide really reduce the risk of the plastic scratching?
-
Are those the KWC versions of old, or does somebody else make them? Just my opinion, but they are a better looking pistol than the M&P 9. What brand are the slide and frame? Very nice work, by the way.

Thanks for the heads up.

I have been waiting for the TM G17 Gen 4 pistols to be restocked, but something tells me this could take a very long time. So I started to think about the G17 Gen 3 and the G22. They have the smaller bbu so are probably not as nice to shoot. Since I only intend to use 144a gas, the issue of the hammer light striking shouldn't be a problem. Whether the weaker gas reduces the chances of the main body screw failing, I have no idea. I know that the G22 has a metal reinforcement to protect the plastic slide when it locks back, that the G17 lacks. I understand that the dimensions of the G17 and 22 are the same. Does this mean that aftermarket slides and frame kits from the likes of Guarder designed for the 17 will also fit the 22? Is the G22 a good buy , or is the G17 Gen 4 so much better that it is worth waiting for, regardless of how long it takes?

Guarder complete frame kits for TM Glocks.
emilianoksa replied to emilianoksa's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Thanks to you both. So is the Guarder metal slide a decent fit on the Guarder complete frame kit? Or is it likely to need modification as well? I imagine the TM bbu unit will not be a straight fit to the Guarder slide, but what about the TM plastic outer barrel and recoil spring guide? -
Not cheap but they look pretty good. Do any members have any experience of these or know someone who has? I wonder how they would work with the TM plastic slide and internals. Would they work well together, or would they need a metal slide on top?
-
Thanks very much for clearing that up for me.
-
Would I be right in thinking that most of the custom stuff available for Marui Glocks is for the original Gen 3 pistols, and that there is little in the way of upgrades for the more recent Gen 4 models? If you want to buy a TM Glock for upgrade, is it better to buy a Gen 3?

The ABS plastic on TM gas pistols
emilianoksa replied to emilianoksa's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Thanks. Yes, I've noticed that my FNX 45 doesn't seem to suffer from it. And when the black TM FNX and black VFC FNX are laid down together for comparison, it is not immediately obvious which is which. As for cerakoting plastic, could I ask you two questions? 1. Does it protect the plastic from serious scratching and scuffing? 2. Is it cheaper to have plastic cerakoted than metal, since there is presumably less preparation involved before spraying? -
I know that the plastic used by Marui often turns shiny with use. This has been the case with many of its earlier pistols, notably the G17 Gen 3. Do the later, improved TM pistols suffer from the same problem, or have Marui found a way eliminate, or at least limit it?
-
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I forgot. I don't know if all Airsoft Masterpiece hi capa slides have the notch, but the Springfield Armory one certainly does.
-
Some UK retailers will export to the States. As someone who has done it the other way round - I recently bought an Airsoft Masterpiece hi capa slide from Airsoft Junkiez in Georgia - I can tell you that the postage was very expensive.
-
The essentials are a stronger nozzle and recoil spring. Don't go overboard on the spring. 120% is more than enough. Depending on which make of slide you get, you may have to look at a metal barrel. I ran my TM with an Airsoft Masterpiece slide and the original plastic TM outer barrel for quite a while, without problems, but I don't know about other makes. Since the outer barrel on the Gold Match is non dropping, it will probably be fine with a metal slide. I would always advise TM hi capa owners to get an AM slide. They are nicely made, reasonably priced and a straight fit.

TM and WE have much better parts availability than GHK, VFC or KWA. And WE gbbrs and their parts are cheaper than Marui ones.
