AshOnSnow Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 My beloved Sig 226 is reaching the end of its lifespan after a good few years of getting battered. So, with revolvers, 1911s and hicapas aside (can’t stand the things), any suggestions on where to go next?
NorTac Paddy Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Same and not keen on glocks either. Check out the SP01 Shadow by ASG. Green gas mags and CO2 compatible. Apart from filling my gun with dirt having crawled through some trenches its awesome!

emilianoksa Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 So are the parts made by WE? I have been quite impressed by the AW pistol I have. It seems like WE can produce decent parts.

Supporters Gepard Posted March 11, 2019 Supporters Posted March 11, 2019 The WE G19 feels nice to hold and shoot. And yeah, its a glock but eh.. I like em.

EDcase Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I just happen to be selling a TM P226 for a reasonable price (check sales) ...or if you fancy one you could wait for the new WE Browning Hi-Power MK3 thats supposed to be released this month. (Duno when it'll actually be available tho )
GenePoolReject Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I can’t fault my CZ p-09, it’s performed very well, so much so that 2 of the guys I play with bought one as well. Not much of an upgrade path if that’s your thing with pistols though. Im also keeping an eye out for any news on a sig P320/M17 which will be the new US Army service pistol but it’s early days for one of those. However I love the look of it and supposedly sig have pulled licenses so the can produce there own airsoft kit.

I thought their parts were made by WE. But to a higher standard and with better quality control. Hence the higher price. I didn't realise AW was actually a manufacturer. I thought it was basically a company that designed things but sourced its parts from WE.

But honestly, who actually knows, lots of obscurification ??♂️ AW are deffo better quality than most WE guns, some WE kit has good tolerances, some not
Wo1f Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 A mate of mine has an AW glock and it’s substantially better than the old WE I had.
emilianoksa Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Pity it looks like a pile of flashy crap. If they could just have made a nice one, I would have bought it. But not that. The Glock doesn't need any styling. It is already an iconic pistol. Its simple lines are what make most Glock fans love it. If you look at countries that allow real steel Glock ownership, you will struggle to find anything as hideous to look at as the AW airsoft versions.
AngryDad223 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Give the ICS XFG a look Its's extremely well made, performance is amazing and although not based on any real steel... Its a good looking bit of kit imo Best of all its only £89!!!!

Had a 19 gen 4, shot nicely but even with the extra back straps it wasn't comfortable to hold. On 11/03/2019 at 15:23, SurreySkirmisherNo.2 said: That has to be the best username I've ever seen!

Have been tempted by a 229, but the sigs need wide frame holsters which are expensive extremely rare this side of the pond. 19 hours ago, EDcase said: I just happen to be selling a TM P226 for a reasonable price (check sales) ...or if you fancy one you could wait for the new WE Browning Hi-Power MK3 thats supposed to be released this month.

Had a P09, I was raving to try it as soon as I found out there was an Airsoft version, I used to have a RS P07 when I lived overseas - it was the first 9mm I ever shot. But with the ASG P09 I, found the grip was pretty small and the slide too light. 27 minutes ago, AngryDad223 said: Give the ICS XFG a look Its's extremely well made, performance is amazing and although not based on any real steel...

heroshark Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I've given up giving pistol advice. I think you should buy a horrendous piece of crap .Rave about how great it is, then realize it's crap once it starts to inevitably flag. Then open another thread asking for advice on your next pistol. Buy another piece of crap. Rince ,repeat.
Game Cam Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 There's alot of good ones around. TM Desert Eagle had served me very well for a long time but it is a huge bit of plastic. My recent Umarex HK45CT has been awesome so far (I almost bought the G17 instead which is also good). Rest of mine are old or revolvers or old revolvers ?

I think my WE 226 has had a damn good innings, and it’s not crap by any means, I’ll certainly keep it as a backup, but it’s getting about time for a fresh piece of metal now. 11 hours ago, Game Cam said: There's alot of good ones around.

Rest of mine are old or revolvers or old revolvers ? Deagles and revolvers lmao. When it’s only chambered in 6mm BB, I don’t see much point in a massive hunk of a pistol with low ammo capacity. Sometimes I’ve gone out with just my pistol and 5 mags. 115rds with a pistol can go a long way!
