Which Pistol?

[RonLancs]

Hi all, 

Firstly, my budget is £200. I’m looking for a green gas pistol, holster and at least 2 mags. 
 

At the moment I’ve got a WE G18c but I’m bored of the Glock. I’m being drawn to the SSP1 but I’ve heard good things about Hi-Capas etc.

Any advice on which is best? I can stick with g style but would like to venture out and see what else there is - I.e. I love the P226 but I’m looking for performance and reliability that I don’t have to upgrade or send it to be upgraded. 
 

Thanks in advance,

Ron

TM FNX 45, no question, best out of the box pistol currently available

TM will give you the best performance and fire support have a TM sale at the moment

Pretty much any of the newer 15mm bbu tms are fantastc.

Forgive me for not doing any in depth research but aren’t most Tm’s polymer? I feel like for this amount I’m going to spend,  I’d need metal - that’s just me.

metal is weigh( and not good quality metal). weight is more inefficiency especially in a cold country like the UK. TM have much better quality control and pretty much any other manufacture is just a TM copy

If you want metal you're better getting a nice aluminum slide on a tm. Stock metal gnu more often than not doesn't equal quality or performance.

Sure, get something metal, bound be something out there. It won’t be the best, it won’t be the most fun, but it will be metal, and if that’s what you won’t, go for it.

Split slide Armorer Works Hi-Capa works pretty well

Luke at Negative Airsoft makes a pretty decent case for the HK45CT:

Insane gas efficiency.

Milbro do some very decent 1911s, if you would consider co2? They are essentially KWC but they chrono just under 1 joule.

They've got a fantastic reputation, they have a nice feel and they shoot very well.

TM P226E2 is the best pistol I own.

TM M9A1 is a very, very close second.

Any of the later TM GBB pistols will see you right.

I can vouch for the cz75 or sp01, though they are best on co2. CZ75 + 2 mags on gunfire is around the £150 mark.

Just going to recommend a recent purchase, the WE 1911 MEU. Weapon £100. Mags £15 a pop for a 15 rounder so I got 3 extra mags (4 in total)

Pros: Looks good, shoots well, powerful.

Cons: low cap mags.

Calm your jets, it’s not all about you buddy.

Look above you, everybody is recommending different pistols, everybody has an opinion lol

Wow, talk about jet cooling when you've brought a spoon (to stir) to a pistol discussion. 

Having owned about 6 pistols of varying qualities and prices and sample a good few more I think your misplaced in your comment about opinions. 

No beef needed here thanks.

Now what’s got under your skin, what’s with the my dad’s bigger than your dad?

Just because my comment was directly under yours doesn’t make it about you, I don’t even know who you are.

I’ve owned the majority of pistols on the market, well over 100 different guns. So what? I have an opinion, you have an opinion, well a have one. We all have arseholes, that was the point. It’s called COMEDY.

What’s  misplaced? EVERYBODY has an opinion, doesn’t make any of them wrong, or right, they’re opinions, that’s the point.

IF you hang around, you’ll find this easily the best airsoft forum out there, lots of incredibly helpful people, lots of laughs, take a chill pill mate ???

TM HK USP. The full size one, not the compact.

Just another opinion.?

I merely put a question mark on a slightly hostile comment and you then opened up by saying cool my jets... I read these forums a lot and choose to comment very little so please just accept as a regular maybe you could assess how you approach commenting to avoid seeming like a know it all to me OR others. You'll find no beef here so none needed in return. This always occurs online so let's not let it descend in to an argument beyond this point. Thank you
