Which Pistol?

[Noddy45]

Bit of a strange choice.

They are both very good but so different in appearance. One is a hand canon and the other a compact.

Of the two I would probably go for the HK45. I do like Glocks though but prefer the bigger ones.

A more appropriate alternative to the HK45 might be the USP full size -  or maybe  the FNX45.

I must admit I have limited knowledge and am only basing my queries on information from this site and YouTube videos ?

I have looked at the FNX 45 as another member had mentioned he felt it was the best out of the box pistol available and it well maybe - I wouldn’t know anyhow.  It does look awesome however and would like to get it(does it only come in tan colour)but I always liked the look of a glock - I cant say why though?

Since I am based in Ireland I was limiting myself to what available here but I have looked further a field and found what I am after a Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 Gas from a company in Holland for €159 - I feel this is a ok price and I think the gun should be ok but couldn’t find any reviews on here but loads on YouTube - BTW can you tell me can you import green gas canisters.

I am looking for the best bang for my buck(excuse the pun)

I would appreciate an opinion on the Umarex glock 5 if anyone has experience with same - bit of a rant.

you should be able to get green gas from an Irish shop there are a couple. the Umarex glock is a VFC rebrand. i have held one in shop at it was lovely but VFC don't have the greatest reputation for internals and the price was too much for an unknown quantity.  However nice it was i couldn't bring myself to spend £160 on a pistol. the reviews all say it's alright nothing spectacular performance wise. I will say it again in the British isles nothing stock will perform as well as stock TM but if you want a beautiful gun with alright performance and are willing to pay the asking price it's up to you.

That’s great appreciate your reply @BigStew just the info/confirmation I was after TM for me so.
