    If you like the P09 just go with that. I’ve had a couple over the years and I always enjoyed shooting them. They have a great feel to them. And they make a good starter gun.

     

    They come with either a metal or a plastic slide. If you’re gonna play during the winter (low temperatures) go with the plastic. Otherwise the metal slide is nice.


    Avoid the co2 mags as it might shot a tad hot. Greengas works just fine.

     

    If you want an upgradable workhorse go with a TM Glock 17 gen4 or 5. Its pretty much the exact same size as the P09.
    If you want something a bit more compact the TM G19 gen4 is great. Just be aware that all TMs come with a plastic slide (whitch is a good thing performance wise.)

    Definitely WE. Their glocks are rather good nowadays and they’re TM spec so there’re tons of aftermarket parts.

     

    Stay well clear of anything Raven or Vorsk. It will break sooner than later.

     

    If you want the best glock that will hold up for ages and shoots great, have a look at TM. Although they have a plastic slide.

    Sometimes when switching slides problems occur. It could be tolerances, that the new slide is catching on somewhere or needs some braking in.

     

    Also it could be that the mos slide is heavier, especially with a red dot mounted, than the original slide.

    Then you migh need to find the correct recoil spring. Too weak and it won’t return to battery. But too strong will make it hard for the slide to lock back.

     

    I think you have to experiment a bit.

     

    I doubt a new frame will solve your problem.

     

    edit: Is it a steel mos slide? That would explain a lot

    Maybe have a close look at the nozzle, check it for cracks. 
     

    Just to be clear, are one of the two slides the original one?

     

    i.e the gun malfunctions while fully stock aswell?

    Same as the Umarex "Licensed product of"

    Considering the price for a ghk, that sucks.

     

    Seems the only way to get correct trades are thru aftermarket parts.

    Most of them can be bought under different brands. Certain manufacturers offer full trades others try to avoid it because of legal reasons. 

    I had most brands of glocks and none have had correct trades out of the box. Not even the licensed VFC/Umarex ones.

    Although I never had a GHK. How are the trades on those?

    Welcome to the glock rabbit hole!

    I myself am a glocklover and are trying to collect as many as possible, although I’m also trying to make them good to field.
    Also I’m a sucker for correct trades. So often I’m finding myself swapping slides and frames.

    As Jim states above I would also say that about 75% are available as airsoft versions.

     

    Be prepared to burn a big hole in your pocket.

    If its a nbb it might be hard to get the power down enough.

    Have you thought about simply getting regular gg mags for it?

    Although it might even run hot on regular gg as its a nbb. But then at least you can try weaker gas…

    Plastic outer barrel vs steel one

    There’s a pretty simple mod you can do where you file the underneath of the frontside of the slide recess to minimize the friction between slide and outer barrel.

     

    Both nineball and unicorn make fixed barrels for glocks. Although the nineball one is expensive and the unicorn leaves a small gap between slide and barrel in the slide recess which is too ugly for my taste.

     

    I prefer steel outer barrels as I like the added weight to the front to weigh up for the mag in the back.

    All those nice trade son the slide then they go and plaster Tokyo Marui in large letters on the sight!  No doubt right side frame trades are TM as well!

    Sadly not even Umarex Glocks have correct trades even if they’re licensed.

     

    Although Guarder will probably release a frame for the TM gen5 with proper trades soon enough

    Thanks for your answers guys! As Tackle pointed out we should be happy that airsoft’s not banned all together in either of our countries.

     

    Do you think your lawenforcement and politicians are happy with the UKARA system? 

    And how does it work in reality when buying for instance on the wanted ads on here?

     

    Sorry for all the questions and crappy english but I’m really interested in hearing how things work for different airsoft scenes.

    And in no way am I offended by your laws or take it as an attack. I was just curious.

    Although I’m happy to not have it the american way with orange tips.

     

    It wasn’t too long ago you needed a licence to own most gasguns over here.

    Now the limit is at 10j for semi and 3j for automatic.

    But we have a problem with firearms violence here, and kids with airsoftguns pose a problem for the police since its hard to tell the difference from real guns.

    A system like UKARA might help.

    It’s very hit and miss over here, some things sail through customs with no issue yet some things get smashed with import duties.

    All of my GBB’s were purchased before the VCRA act in 2007 and because I’m no longer a registered skirmisher at an official site I can’t purchase replacements without them being painted 2 tone, they still work well but I have had several issues with leaking mags and worn slides etc. 

    I’ve read about your system with UKARA and two-tones. Why do you have that system and what do you think about it?

     

    The only thing we have over here is an age limit of 18 to buy airsoft guns

    I’m in Sweden so I wouldn’t know. I guess we have different importrules since brexit.

    But over here it gets cheaper to order from hk even with the tax. 
    Parts are both rare and superexpensive in Sweden
