Pistol Advice Please

Have you ever seen one of these hop kits for a P226?
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen the kit, but personally I’d go for a crazy jet barrel in the desired length, 50 degree decepticon bucking and I key. I know the mk23 is a different beast, but the £40 in parts has it shooting 70m confirmed. 

 
I've got the P226R - nothing upgraded, built like a tank, hasn't failed me yet after nearly 2 years of abuse, but severely lacking in accuracy (and may be due a good clean set of internals anyway)

Yeah I started with a P226 R and it is still probably my favourite to be honest.  I liked it so much that I got the E2, and then the P228 as well.  I can pick any of them up and know I am going to have a blast shooting it, and that it will work too.

The P226 22 Nitron was the one of the first pistols I ever learned to shoot on, nothing else really felt as good and the WE airsoft one metal stuff in the UK just feels right. Not tried the compact 228 or 229 though. It seemed a bit reluctant last game, so I think it'll be a lot happier after some new internals. I can see the nozzle is getting worn down, so figure I may as well fit a maple kit in it while I replace that. But doesn't seem to be a drop in kit for it.

Yeah I have to agree the feel of the WE Sigs is great, you properly feel like you have something substantial in your hand.  The P228 is nice, being compact it is a bit more nimble to weald around, but other than that it feels much like the P226, and controls are identical.  The 228 will also take 226 mags which could be handy.  Obviously being longer they do extend below the grip, but they fit and work perfectly.  

I got my P228 as I might do an NCIS load out at some point just for fun, and because I wanted another SIG lol. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D

Can never have too many of em :P

 
Prisce, have you had any problems with the P09 hop up?

A lot of people praising the WE Sig.

Is it more solid than the KJW?

Nop. I forget the exact model, but we haven’t had any issues at all with that pistol. My We18c on the other hand is being a rather expensive paperweight at the moment.

 
I notice that Umarex / VFC are conspicuous by their absence in everyone's suggestions - 
How come?

 
I would happily buy a VFC H&K VP9, if I had the money, but ultimately, TM make the best out of the box pistols... I have six myself, so I would always recommend TM when asked.
