That's probably because after playing for years a large amount of people settle with TM as from their experience they're the best option. People who bias towards what they own are simply kidding themselves, some of my own posts comment on how crap some of the stuff I buy or have bought is, I'd have no motive or reason to favour TM if it didn't perform as desired- you'll probably notice I have significantly more WE stuff than TM which again we all know are hit and miss at best and I'd happily say so and actively often recommend against buying.

Okay buy one then, you asked our opinion and we've given it, if you want really want a WA get one.

If you're that set on them then get one, I'd still definitely go for a TM though regardless when it comes to 1911s.

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.

Don't.

Don't bother, they're very old now.

Its out now http://www.uktactical.com/p-11165-warrior-recon-plate-carrier-sapi-size-medium-multicam.aspx

£25 for a paint job? Fuck that.

I've got the moab, great bit of kit

Not saying they're bad just that being used by a military isn't enough to suggest they're great. Uktactical tend to sell decent stuff though so I'd be surprised if it's not decent.

All manufacturers have bad ones and lemons, probably nothing more than that. We all know how good g&g stuff tends to be and most people appear to rate the firehawks in particular very highly so doesn't look to be the norm

If it's supplied to a military that means it's cheap, doesn't mean it's going to be good.

It sucks but I imagine they view most hpa users to be relatively well versed in airsoft tech stuff etc so stuck a crap one in to lower costs with the expectation of people changing it.

Sometimes you need to reload quickly too.

I've ran my m&p on nothing but green for a few thousand rounds and it's had no problems so I don't think I'd worry too much about that to be honest.

You don't need to switch out anything, least of all the slide.

You don't need any upgrades on a tm pistol. It'll out shoot a decent number of rifles out of the box

Buy one, if you don't like it then sell it.

I'd go M&P (I did infact ). Runs very smooth and reliably and shoots great. It might be possible to swap the mag release to the other side too- the mags have indents to suggest you can like the real one. Slide release and safety are both ambi-friendly so good all round really.

It's a spring pistol. Just Google search the model number as 14096

Personally if you're after one I'd wait for the alpha-tec one to come out, it can't be too long now.

You've left some rail space, you could fit another sight on there. Wasteful
