So I want to get a Glock 17 after xmas, which manufacturer to I go for?

 
Not heard much on KWA, WE a bit cheaper and TM reliable and don't need upgrading. Probably gonna go TM

 
TM is the way forward, the slide is plastic but it'll work in all weather without any complaints.

 
i have the tm g18 sooooo reliable worth every penny

 
Well overtime came through early and there was a TM Desert Eagle Hard Kick with 3 gas tight mags going on Facebook for £100 close to me......so I bought it. One word describes it.....BEAST

 
Aah, the famous Israeli Military Industries/Saco Defense .44 Magnum/9mm Mark XIX Glock 17 Desert Eagle Special. ;)

Joking aside, it sounds like a good bargain with three mags, don't blame you for snapping that up. Guess the bell doesn't toll for you this time. :P

ahh thought you were after new else would have offered my G18c with 3 mags for not much more than that.

 
Don't suppose anyone knows where I can get a manual for it and a front sight?

 
Now that is very handy. Think I might have a fibre optic front post somewhere if I can bodge fit it. Bit for acrylic carving may be in order.

 
I realise OP has bought a DE but worth a mention is VFC do a Glock 17 with metal slide and trademarks, TM compatible internals for £99 at Firesupport, no idea what its like performance but sounds like it could be contender in the G17 market.

 
Hmm might try that as well if I ever manage to sell the air rifle. The deagle might be a bit of a monster to cart around all day, manage to fit it in a £10 universal holster but I've had to botch the keeper strap. Might try getting the missus to sew some bungee on there instead.

 
Be careful about the retaining strap not holding the pistol securely in the holster, this is especially the case with heavy long barrelled pistols, since they will often not sit very deep in the holster, meaning all the weight is up near the grip. That's asking for the thing to fall out if the retaining strap is not good and snug and you are running about. I managed to completely break a brand new GBB 1911 pistol (which I'd literally only fired three shots from) by doing that exact same thing; the pistol took a swan dive out of my holster and the beavertail safety broke free, spilling the trigger spring et all out, most of which was never to be seen again, rendering the pistol useless without buying a crapload of spare parts.

one of the many reasons I'll never, EVER recommend a soft holster for an airsoft pistol if you intend to do more than just stand still looking cool.

 
+1, it's literally throwing money away. The viper ones I've used are particularly bad.
