Tokyo marui pistol choice

[Greenmagic]

Another question were I'm going to get the gun they out of g&g bbs they only have these in

which shall I go for

Blaster 0.25g BBs

Blaster Devil 0.25g BBs

RZR 0.25g Precision BBs NUPROL

 

[Davegolf]

Go for the P226 e2, the grip and fit is much better than the P226R, especially when wearing gloves.

Ive had 2 PX4s and they are very nice ergonomically but the mechanics and trigger are a far cry from the SIG.

In standard form run 0.25s, the hop unit will struggle to lift heavier BBs.

Use Blaster Devils, they are a little tougher which is good for the violent loading of a GBB nozzle.

Best bolt on upgrade for these is a PDI W-hold bucking, you can lift over 0.3s then and accurately shoot out to 50M.

 

[Greenmagic]

I think I'm steering to the p226 e2 think that would be best

but they have it in these colours 

What do all you think

Black. Less flash and more stealthy.

   The P229 is a bit smaller than the P226 (look pretty much and operates the same)  so will probably fit smaller hands a bit better could be worth a look? I ordered a WE 226 of Patrol Base but they sent us a 229 by accident (I assume )

and fell in love with the dimensions of it really nice and compact so was not going to kick up any fuss about that! However Davegolf mentioned about gloves, its not too friendly with "heavy" gloves

   But straight out of the Box the Mk 23 is absolutely amazing! Patrol Base had these in too a couple of days ago also offering upgrades. TBH though I probably wouldn't bother with them this is just that good

I have the P226 and I love the feel of it.

To be honest, I've yet to find a pistol (except for the desert eagle) that is properly too big for my hands. Most of my "problems" with pistols comes from me being a lefty and the mag release being in precisely the wrong place!

This is one of the reasons I love the HK45 along with it fitting my hands perfectly. It seems to be a H&K thing though as my MP7 and MK23 both have the same type of ambi mag release and it looks like the USP does too.

I'd recommend asking people to have a test of their pistols at a skirmish if you can't make it to stores very easily. It's like I found the ergonomics of the Glock 19 and P226 to be dreadful, which is partly but not entirely to shooting left handed. For some people though this doesn't seem to be so much of an issue as a number of popular models of guns have things like mag releases in weird places or bad fire selectors.

I also still wonder why people can't get 50 metres out of TM pistols stock, it shouldn't require changing anything to achieve on Abbey or Green Gas with 0.25g BBs.

 

[Greenmagic]

Thanks alot everyone you been a big help 

I think I'm going with the p226 e2 mainly I think it will fit my son's hands a bit better 

What would be the best gas to get

out of these three 

Abbey 144

Nuprol 2.0 green gas

Nuprol 1.0 

 

[Dentonboy]

Nuprol 2.0 is what I am using atm.

Have you ever tried a PPQ or P99? The PPQ M2 is fully ambi I believe. I really like the 226 personally, but I couldn't stand the glock. It's a shame that TM don't do a Gen 4 glock, and WE don't reproduce them properly, because one of the big overhauls from Gen3 to Gen4 was accommodating left handed shooters which WE didn't replicate properly.

I got my heart on a Tokyo marui

Thanks for the info

If you want a TM for target shooting, the TM MK23 is tried, tested and trusted

A bit on the large side, but worth the extra weight IMO and easy to get used to.

I shoot pistol left, you can swap the side of the mag release on the P226 just for those unaware.

Most pistols can throw a BB a long way, that's not what I was saying, I meant you will be able to accurately shoot at a genuine measured 50M with a flat trajectory, its max range is more like 65M

Abbey Predator or Nuprol 2.0, the slightly more powerful gas gives a better cycle and cold weather performance.

 

[Greenmagic]

I just checked it out I think it will be a little big looks cool tho reminds me of judge dredd lol

The SIGs will run with no problem on high power gas, have run the same pistol for years on Predator or Vertex.

Very spongy trigger though. The most spongy out of all the TM pistols actually as it's double action with no cycling slide.

Hi-capas are what competitive shooters use. High configurable, easy to make changes to the trigger and TM make some excellent ones.

All the TM pistols are a solid choice though. Get your hands on one and see which you like best.

No problems with any of mine using it.

I would love to go down and have a feel of them but I'm a good couple of hours from a airsoft store that would stock all of them and I thought I could ask a few people on hear

You said you have the hk45 

What do you make of the usp full size because I was dead sett on the 45 but came across the usp they are more or less the same gun but personally  I like the look of the usp a little bet better what do you make of the usp full size

Click to shrink...

Sorry for the late reply, been up to my eyes in actual work!

Anyway, the HK45 is a development of the USP so they're quite similar. The fit in the hand on the 45 is more ergonomic and the slide is nicer. It has the ambidextrous mag release, the slide release is easy to get to and it has a functioning decocker/safety. I liked the USP Compact but I already had the 45 when it came out and felt no need to change.

If you get around to skirmishing, the choice of holsters may help sway you. There's a lot more options around for the P226 than there is for the HK45!

 

[Greenmagic]

Thanks alot 

I've been looking at holsters I seen one on Amazon for £20 do you know anywhere else were they do a good holster
