I've got two pistols at the moment - 
A TM Mk23 - which is awesome
A WE18c - which is fun, but nowhere near as accurate.
I'm after another gun, so I can run double pistols
I love the mk23, currently more than any of my other guns. Purely because it's had the most kills.
It's accurate as hell, has amazing range and can have a decent rate of fire when required.
And that's all straight out of the box.
So although I love the Mk23 and I could just buy another, I'd like suggestions for an alternative.
I the same attributes as the Mk23 - Excellent accuracy and range straight out of the box - but in a different platform.
Why? Because variety is the spice of life!
Budget is under £200. So, what can you suggest that might fit the bill?

 
I have a lovely WE G17 for sale that is stupendously accurate and has a great range.

The only downside is, it's a little... flash looking  :lol:

Dual TM G17s! Stick a maple leaf hop unit/rubber and a RATech/Maple Leaf/Crazy Jet inner barrel and enjoy. With extended mags.

This is what I do  :lol:

Would something like this do the job:
https://www.milspecsolutions.co.uk/Maple-Leaf-Glock-Hop-Unit-And-Inner-Barrel-Set.html
Cos I suppose a cheaper way of doing it would be to put one of those in my WE?
How much difference do they make?
I'm guessing the TM is better than the WE - but to what degree?

 
I've got a plain black G17 slide and barrel arriving any day now from Hong Kong if it comes to it :)

That alone will improve your G18 no end.

For £40 it's worth a try and if you don't find the improvement was worth it, you could sell it on. That'd sell easy on here.

 
One of the reasons the Mk23 is so accurate is that it's a non blowback.

If you want accuracy and range, buy another non blowback.

It doesn't have to be another Mk23, but in the interests of symmetry, two Mk23s run from opposite side shoulder holsters would look pretty cool for CQB. And you could keep them more manageable by leaving the silencers off.

 
TM SIG P226 E2 - very ergonomic, fantastic range and accuracy, easy to buy holsters for. My best pistol I would say. 

 
Have a look at the ASG CZ09, or any of tr variants, have been very very impressed with the range and accuracy out of them and they aren’t too expensive. 

Lift .3s to 65m out of the box and are accurate enough to get kills at that distance also.

 
For me it would have to be TM. I love my VFC FNX, but if you want long range and accuracy then just buy a Tm and use it as is. Dave is always telling me how good the p226 is, and the reviews of the full size usp that’s just came out said it’s got great range.

They just launched the P07 too. Looks and shoots good, but must admit it feels disappointingly light and tacky compared to the 9mm.

Have you ever seen one of these hop kits for a P226?

No I don't think they do the drop in Maple leaf Barrel & Hop Up Unit for the 226.  I have 2 x226s and a 228 and have been looking for a while with no success.  In the end I went for Maple leaf Autobot 50 degree hop buckings, with the original barrels and hop units.  This has improved the range by quite a bit, and I may also go for new crazy jet barrels too at some point to see if I can pick up the accuracy (not that it is that bad as they are now).

Tm hi-capa gold match, very accurate with good quality bbs, in fact the most accurate airsoft gun I've got and I've got a good few lol, but also great quality, highly upgradable if you ever wanted to and just performs great out the box.. :)

Is it the WE sigs you have, or TM?

Its the WE ones I have.  I have a P226 R, P226 E2 and a P228.  I find them great, they may be considered a little bit heavy, but so far they are rock solid and shoot very well in my opinion.

Ive seen the maple leaf hop and barrel sets for 1911s, Hi-Cappas and Glock 17/18 & 19, but so far not for the P226 or 228.
