Define effecient.
You mean shots per fill, resistance to cole weather, or rounds required to hit a target?

All of the above ?
I've heard a lot of good things about this. Apparently the VFC HK45 is very good too?

that's like asking which formula 1 car uses the least amount of fuel, but also is the fastest in a straight line and costs the least to build.
at some point certain design goals can become mutually exclusive.
however as a less facetious answer would be the tm range, in this case the objectives of good accuracy, gas efficiency and cold weather resistance have been traded for the somewhat more subjective "feel" of a lightweight pistol with a plastic slide.
or you could argue many co2 pistols, which trade their performance for long term reliability (or lack thereof)

Interesting analogy ?
I expected TM to come out on top for most.
I didn't consider that there might be differences in size of the reservoirs ?

Conversly, every standard TM except the 1911. Never had anything but trouble with them. The more modern TM’s with 15mm nozzle are the bestInteresting analogy ?

My current favourite is the FNX, huge range, consistent grouping, 29 round magazine that will fire 87 rounds before you need a refil, optic ready, cheap mags

So which have the 15mm nozzle? The FNX looks pretty sweet as well!

I have recently bought an FNX that I have yet to skirmish in anger, and to say the performance is staggering is an understatement. The only other Gas pistol that can compete with it IMHO is the MK23, but that is non-blowback.
That being said I don't particularly enjoy shooting it (still better that the MK23!!). The plastic slide means the blowback isn't as strong as other pistols and the lack of heft when it doesn't have a magazine in it bothers me. Also the single action/double action function isn't as realistic as the VFC version of the same gun (which also feels better due to the metal slide). However for a usable skirmish pistol in the winter months the only other GBB pistol that comes close is the TM HK45 and that isn't as good as the magazines have less capacity (both in terms of gas and BBs) and it isn't optic ready.

In that case I'm not going to use any other pistols so my perception isn't tainted ?

For me it was a toss up between a TM FNX45 and the TM HK45. Then @Lex Danglercame along dangling he's HK45 at me which frankly was a great deal (thank you sir) and I couldn't resist. I blame @herosharkfor swaying me towards HK porn 
If I could grab a FNX45 in black (with a suppressor I'd have pondered that as I've just heard such good things about them ....@Lex Danglergrab one dude and then when you get bored of it, I'll have it off you.... but in black not that Hasbro tan colour <insert throwing up emoji>
((As they say in Star Wars..... That's no moon its a TM .... Move along nothing to see its a TM, look sir it's a TM (not a droid... ))
