WE or KJW Glock?

[Sir Chops]

Hi guys, 

I'm looking for a Glock (of any description really) for my loadout. It'll mainly stay in it's holster and be more for show so I'm not wanting to pay TM prices but I would like it to be usable if I fancy pewing a few bb's and using it in a skirmish. 

I've had a look at the what to buy guide and it seems KJW and WE are "fine" for the sort of price I'm wanting to pay. I quite fancy this:

I know WE seem to be the preferred entry level GBB pistol but does anyone have any negative real world stories about KJW guns? I'm aware the mags tend to be piss poor so will likely need substituting, I'm open to any other similar suggestions!

It’s a decent pistol, I owned one. Very similar design to the EMG SAI BLU.

KJW QC can be hit and miss, but if you get one that works, they’re as solid as WE

Had both. WE by far. KJW make very good co2 1911s, but their glocks are a bit meh

@Sir Chops ?

I recently bought a WE Glock 18C, as my friend @Dino recommended! ???

I thought I would not be using it as much,  I currently have 1 standard mag and extended, will get more, in 2020! 

I can honestly say on the day I took it out, with the right gas, I was having so much fun and I did better than I imagined!!!! ?

Could go in more detail, but hope this helps? ?

I have several WE Glocks as both skirmish and race guns. It’s a solid choice for skirmishing as stock.

I have often said for a couple of pounds more than a TM with an extra mag you can get 2 stock WE Glock 17s. Doing this still gets you 2 mags, but when you drop your pistol in a puddle (which will happen at some point) you just chuck it in your bag to clean when you get home and switch to a clean pistol. This saves you having to try and clean your pistol in the safe zone, and potentially firing it with grit in it (which will seriously shorten the life of any GBB pistol.)

They do suffer a bit more than TMs in the cold, but this can be easily fixed by using red gas (or even black gas when it’s very cold).

WE is generally considered to be the most reliable Glock after TM. It is certainly the best value one on the market, especially if you buy from Hong Kong.

Not had issue with my kjw kp17....  i got it for its co2 capability as i wouldnt buy a WE one from patrol base (i believe) on the basis that using the WE co2 mags that THEY sell voids warrenty....  

It always bugged me

Only have experience with a WE Glock, no complaints so far.
