I've got a friend who has one, it doesn't stand out as a bad gun but its beaten by most kwa's and tm's

I'd leave it, a tm equivalent isn't much mote expensive but is much better performance-wise

 

[joshcowin]

ah okay mind you the tm magazines are a fair bit more expensive

Had one, was pretty good. Had a few rattles. WE aren't as bad as most people make out. I have a 1911 and it is awesome! The hi-capa has pretty decent range and accuracy though. Uses a fair bit of gas but there are a few DIY mods which you can easily do to the magazines.

WE are an ok brand. The hi capas aren't amazing but the worst issue you'll get from them is a jamming issue but you can resolve that fairly easilly. I've owned two WE 1911's which I've both sold recently. One was completely fine whilst the other completely fell apart - the barrell fell out and it kept jamming + the slide wouldn't always lock back when the mag was empty which seems to be a common issue for WE pistols.
