Im looking at a WE G23 at the moment, tbh, I don't really want to spend a gret deal on a pistol at the moment

Consider a TM, pretty muchany model, even if it's s/h from the Classifieds,  you won't regret it.

 
So are you saying stay away from the WE?

As has been said, theyre hit & miss, We's slogan should be "WE are like snow, you don't know what you're gonna get, & how long it's gonna last"?

Cheers, 

Its good to know what brands to stay away from, especially as a newbie

 
I'd second the recommendation for the AAP - they just work, and work rather well. They are very cheap, but will out perform pistols three times as expensive, and a plethora of after market parts for them means you can bling them out to your hearts desire if you ever feel the urge to splash the cash. If they really aren’t your thing, then WE Glock 17s and Glock 19s are reasonably well regarded (I have a couple, and they have been great - I confess to not knowing much about the G23you mention). As said, WE's do seem to be hit or miss sometimes, but their Glocks generally appear to have a good reputation.

As has been said, I'd rate them way above Raven & Vorsk, but below ksc/kjw, & tm would be top of the pile.

That's the beauty of the forums, we all go on buying sprees early on, often the biggest draw is looks or media coverage, in films & shows etc, but most members will tell you that your expensive pistol journey will be long, until eventually you'll use a TM,  maybe a five minute loan on a site range, & you'll be like "why's nothing rattling when I shake it", or "how comes it's emptied the whole mag without venting gas", & "that's got a snappy kick"

But coming here, you get to find out the shortcuts, save money & find a passion in pistols. 

I often wonder if when people say their pistol is just an accessory,  barely touched on a gameday,  is due to the fact it's lacklustre performance doesn't inspire them to use it more ?

 
Cheers again, Im looking for TM then I think

Theres a few in the classifieds that I could stretch my budget too, maybe will send a few messages out

The WE I as interested in has been completed, just wish the seller had the manners to respond to my message letting me know

Maybe its just me, but that does irk me a little

Thats not good, Ive sent  message out about one, that is showing as uncompleted

Just need to hide the bank balance from her indoors ?

 
Don't be surprised if your pistol becomes your primary in cqb as the smaller size over even a SMG means its easier to move through tight spaces

I've owned a couple of WE gbb pistols but that's mainly down to being after a particular model nobody else makes rather than because they're WE. It's not that they're bad, but there's better out there

https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/item/59721-tokyo-marui-hi-cappa-43-with-maple-leaf-drop-in-barrelhop/

Hope ive not made a mistake with my choice

As the seller states it's not the prettiest, but you cant go wrong with a TM and the Hi Cappa are a popular choice for a good reason 

 
Im not bothered about the paint work on it, I may clean it up or just leave it as it is

Looking foward to trying it out now

Cloth holster ?

Don't do it, they wobble in the holster, hit the mag release & bang, lost in undergrowth, you've no mag & new ones about £25-£30.

You can try running it with the universal holster, although buying a retention holster is cheaper than losing a mag.  You might be OK in CQB, as you're more likely to find or have the mags returned, and you'll be using it more often anyway.

Or you could file your mag release down to reduce the chance of it dropping them. I do this as I run... "period" holsters.
