Hi Cappa's, Pros/Cons

[Tackle]

Nothing really. Well built guns with good reliability. Good to shoot. Only issue is you'll have to use universal holsters as it's not based on a real gun.

Generally superb straight out of the box (well TM is anyway), don't rush to have a list of "upgrades", they really need very little, instead maybe consider looking at mag upgrades for winter use, very few stock gas mags like it when the temperature drops, but as for the gun literally leave it alone until something breaks (you might have a bit of a wait lol).

as for holsters, just get a 1911 Serpa, genuine or copies it doesn't matter, they're piss easy to stretch a bit using nothing more than hot water, & will securely hold almost all hi-capa brands (I have 2 TM's & 1 kjw)

PROs

Fastest standard trigger of any TM pistol.

I think you'll find the Strike Warrior has the fastest trigger out of any standard TM. Its unique to the SW

 

[Davegolf]

Still a 'Capa at heart ?

Nice Limcat BTW

Mikes customer service is great for sure.

Enjoy the new pew pew!!

+1 for Mike at Elite shooting as well. All my purchases have been done through him.

I've only ever dealt with him via email, but even thats been great for questions and answers (albeit slow, typically 2 emails a day on a good day ?)

In my field I wouldnt call that slow...   

But thanks for all the feedback guys. You have all kind of told me what I knew but needed that peer review and feedback to confirm it was the right choice haha..

Now to work out which model!!

 

[Tackle]

Now to work out which model!!

if its for "accesorizing" & making pretty, go with the 5.1, much more available for it, but for skirmish use I'd recommend the 4.3, fits in better with most loadout/LCE variations.

I find 4.3's much sexier. Just a shame they don't make a strike plate for it!

REALLY dont care for loadouts. I wear jeans tshirt and a battle belt. 

I would love a red/gold or black/orange blingy looking hi cappa so would rather it stood out than fitted in   

Just found this....

I have been through the dressing up phase in airsoft, got out of it quickly. now I need stuff thats functional, after all its only toy guns.

The realism is not something that initially grabs me (that being said I like the rifles to 'look' pretty authentic) but just LOVE the race style pistols with silver/gold bling and bright ass colours!! Hence my journey into Hi Cappas now.

Each to their own  

 

[Tackle]

Each to their own  

Lol, I'm only pulling your proverbial mate, I too believe in only using what works, hence why I flogged all the plate carriers etc years ago, although every so often I see something & think "that looks the bollocks", & then slap myself & say "NO, ITS NOT NECESARY, step away from the "buy" button" ?.

I think my disgust might be 50% the colour schemes & 50% HOW MUCH, WTF lol.

Just don't drop it in the field?

 

[Davegolf]

All I would say is if you use it a lot outside / in woodland steer clear of the slides with a million holes in, im amazed how much crud you can get in a fully enclosed pistol let alone a vented, lightweight skeletal thing!

Pistol are CAF, they deserve to be something for the eye to behold, everyone has a different eye but you catch my drift

 

[LightningCh]

We did say externals are expensive ?

it's just small things costing lots that add up, new freaking mag catch goes for a silly amount of cash ?

 

[AshOnSnow]

Pro. Upgradable, some people like them and you seem to join a special club with them.

Con. They're fugly and you're jumping on a bandwagon.

Just don't drop it in the field?

On my first ever game my brother lost his pistol, I went out and bought a lanyard straight away for mine!! 

 

[Rogerborg]

bought a lanyard

Bootlaces.

See, that how they get you.  First you spend £20 on a bit of springy tactiplastic, next thing you know you're dropping north of £900 on something that looks like it fell out of Hasbro's pre-school catalogue section.
