Even with 144a gas or equivalent, I wonder how some of the Marui pistols have been standing up.

Is that a metaphor for something else

Average summer temperatures in Japan are the low thirties with highs sometimes as much as 40° so they'll be fine with 144a
I learnt that the hard way although it was with a KSC glock. I fired and when returning to battery the whole slide kept going forwards and landed on the floor a couple of feet infront of me

Muh TM elitism
Tbh this is funny because TM is a budget brand in Japan.
It's just export markets and a bit of Orientatlism that makes Brits treat them as high end wunderwaffe.
That said, he's right that a lot of metal slide options will beat themselves up all the same.
What brands are considered high end in Japan

Vaguely relevant: Mistakenly left my game day gun bag (containing TM G17 Gen4) in my dark grey car from Wednesday to Friday afternoon, not parked in any shade at all. Everything inside was very thoroughly warmed through, to say the least. Even the oil inside the Glock hadn't moved though, no issues at all from a brief field-strip inspection.

Western Arms, they have very nice faux finishes and materials. Maruzen and Marushin are also much loved for incredibly detailed builds.
They aren't as gameable though, in fact Maruzen and Marushin are quite awful in gameplay terms. However, they're very good reproductions and that's often the draw at the higher end.
Oh yes, Western Arms, brilliant pistols

I had a marushin revolver years ago and I agree the finish was definitely better than TM, but was still obviously plastic and not as good as WA guns I've seen.
It was certainly more of a wall hanger than a skirmishable gun

You can get pills for that droop, we won't judge...
Slide cracked at the rear on my near new 18c earlier this year mid Feb I think so it's not just the hot weather and that's on abbey ultra. Yet my eleven plus years abused Hi Capa refuses to die.

Nope just thirty years worth of experience playing with everything from MGC to Army Armament. TM are definitely not high end, there pistols anyway, but for gaming you will not find better.
