Location would help but in hi capa land you have a couple options:

5.1

Government - Predominantly black with a few silver highlights

Stainless - 2 tone silver and black (warning, silver finish on the frame peels)

Gold Match - Predominantly black with gold highlights, has serated slide, better front sight, weird floting inner barrel system that everybody removes and angled cut frame. It's a great base if you want to go down the gold bits route.

4.3

Black - Self explanatory

Custom Dual - 2 tone silver and black (warning, silver finish on the frame peels)

Xtreme - It's a customer dual with a black frame and the internals are modified so it only shoots full auto

 

4.3 vs 5.1?

Only notable performance difference is the 5.1 gets slightly more FPS due to a longer inner barrel, easily solved if you get a 4.3 and move to a threaded barrel, run a tracer adapter and you can stick a 5.1 length barrel through it.

Parts availability is about the same now, there has been a surge recently in 4.3 parts so they're about level as 4.3 used to be harder to source parts for.

I'm very happy with my D.O.R version...

I have no intention of fitting the optic on it, I just like everything else about it.  I bought it especially for the larger gas volume from the updated internals which has meant it worked perfectly during the cold weather

I have a Gold Match, it's my favourite all-round pistol. I'm sure the D.O.R is as good, so it depends on which you like the look of.

I have a Gold Match and DOR. Both are good, but the DOR kicks better and feels more solid then the Gold Match.

I got  4 TM's and not one of them a tracer unit... Just to be clear.

You have to buy a conversion kit for the barrel, so more on top. I noted that non TM units like the two Glocks I have from WE both came without the box the required threads for the tracer to just screw in to.

Nobody mentioned a tracer? TM's aren't generally cut for tracers on the pistols, the plastic outer barrels though can be bastardized with an 11>14mm adapter however as the standard outer is plastic, you can pick up an SLS 3D printed outer barrel for around £20 to completely swap out with standard and it would come fully cut for 11mm internal thread.
Not a lot really.

Some UK retailers will export to the States.

 

As someone who has done it the other way round  - I recently bought an Airsoft Masterpiece hi capa slide from Airsoft Junkiez in Georgia -  I can tell you that the postage was very expensive.
