Looking at getting my first GBBP as it seems I'll have to stay where I am a little longer. I've been wanting an m9 since 2013, and luckily was pointed away from the LS M9, and am informed the KJW M9 is a fairly good choice and KJW have solid customer service. I just wanted to check a few things so I don't waste money:

Firstly the Pistol:

Runs on gas and co2 depending on mag, most reviews recomend it although often point out better alternatives for a little more money unless youre hell bent on getting an m9.

Mag leakage seems to be an issue for some as well as issues with misfiring, does anyone have any experience with how common these issues are? 

Gas

From I understand green gas is the bog standard to use, while red and black are for colder temperatures respectively? I was probably going to get 3 of these due to the low price:

But would I be better off getting red and green due to hoping to play during the January - June time?

Spare Mag:

Fairly expensive but that seems to be the trend with these mags.

Holster:

or

Depending on feedback and pricing issues.

The overall price for all of that comes to: £110.54 (Taiwan gun, inc shipping)

    £36.22 (Amazon spare mag inc shipping)

Total:     £146.76 which is just under the ideal max spend of £150

Thanks for reading, any advice and feedback would be heartily appreciated.

Edit: Maintenance wise, I was going to just follow these two websites advice:
