I think their use with the SAS, CRW etc. Some iconic pics from the Iranian Embassy. When it came out, the increased mag capacity over the other 9mms made it stand out.
Lastly, it looks damn cool imo. Just a classic JM Browning gun.

It's also the sheer number of potential loadout it would fit. World War 2 Para, Nam Aussie, GWOT Coalition, CIA SAD and Bush war Mercs.
Something like a MK2 and MK1 (with a conventional sight) would cover a massive range. Even would make a decent holster filler for a generic Opfor.

Not liking the look of Glocks is quite understandable - it's a box on a grip. However, I rather like handling them. Odd, really.
How anyone can find the Hi Power ugly... well I just don't get it

I love the look of M9's too, and they're not madly different. Lots and lots of people like them.

M9's just scream 'l mean business' it's a mans* gat. I have three. Two Airsoft and one 4.5mm co2.
It's metal on metal at its best.
There are a couple in the classifieds that I'm salivating over ?

Is it just me or does it look like a 1911 and a 92F had a one night stand and 9 months later the Hi Power was born?

The Beretta M92 is probably the best looking pistol man will ever manufacture. The Hi Power is a close second.Not liking the look of Glocks is quite understandable - it's a box on a grip. However, I rather like handling them. Odd, really.

Sorry but all the above just don't add up to the superior aesthetics of the Walther P99View attachment 128564

Too heavy handed mate.
Treat it like you would a refined and sophisticated lady. With care and tenderness and a hint of playfulness.
I'm ok cause my we M9 is like a lady of the night....don't cost much,likes it fast and rough and still wants more ??

All I did was rack the slide and not overly forcefully. That part is quite thin and made of really poor quality pot metal. (afterwards I broke a part of it on purpose to see how strong it was)
I've already bought a replacement from KYAirsoft. (Postage was more expensive than the part of course)
I also plan on strengthening it a bit with some JBWeld
Maybe next time I'll make a post to see if anyone else needs parts and we can put them all together into one order ?

My WE hi-power is supposed to be awful according to everyone. It has the smoothest slide to frame interface of any pistol I have used. Never missed a beat. I am obviously lucky and get whatever the opposite of a Friday afternoon special is... Monday miracle?

The slide is fine but the hop adjustment is incredibly basic and annoying to adjust. (Not a deal breaker as at least it stays when set)
The biggest problem with the current WE version is the valve knocker design that will snap VERY easily when a magazine is inserted (Uncocked).
Most pistols have a hinged knocker that folds up when a mag is inserted.
Make sure to rack the slide to cock the hammer (and striker) BEFORE you insert a mag!
