Of course, that said I don't like Glocks either so what do I know? Now you have said it I'm going to as well. I don't like glocks either. There. I feel better now 😁 Lozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel better now 😁 Not liking the look of Glocks is quite understandable - it's a box on a grip. However, I rather like handling them. Odd, really. How anyone can find the Hi Power ugly... well I just don't get it I love the look of M9's too, and they're not madly different. Lots and lots of people like them.

M9's just scream 'l mean business' it's a mans* gat. I have three. Two Airsoft and one 4.5mm co2. It's metal on metal at its best. There are a couple in the classifieds that I'm salivating over 🤤 *And ladies... Lozart and RostokMcSpoons 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Is it just me or does it look like a 1911 and a 92F had a one night stand and 9 months later the Hi Power was born? RostokMcSpoons, Shamal and Mr Dellski 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beretta M92 is probably the best looking pistol man will ever manufacture. The Hi Power is a close second. 56 minutes ago, hunter511 said: See I despise the way the 92f looks but love the 1911 and the hipower. https://www.specsavers.co.uk/ Shamal and RostokMcSpoons 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Sorry but all the above just don't add up to the superior aesthetics of the Walther P99 strykerles and John_W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treat it like you would a refined and sophisticated lady. With care and tenderness and a hint of playfulness. I'm ok cause my we M9 is like a lady of the night....don't cost much,likes it fast and rough and still wants more 😉😂 EDcase 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDcase Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) All I did was rack the slide and not overly forcefully. That part is quite thin and made of really poor quality pot metal. (afterwards I broke a part of it on purpose to see how strong it was) I've already bought a replacement from KYAirsoft. (Postage was more expensive than the part of course) I also plan on strengthening it a bit with some JBWeld Maybe next time I'll make a post to see if anyone else needs parts and we can put them all together into one order 😉 Edited April 28 by EDcase Shamal, Tackle and JimFromHorsham 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE CHIEF Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 My WE hi-power is supposed to be awful according to everyone. It has the smoothest slide to frame interface of any pistol I have used. Never missed a beat. I am obviously lucky and get whatever the opposite of a Friday afternoon special is... Monday miracle?

EDcase Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) The slide is fine but the hop adjustment is incredibly basic and annoying to adjust. (Not a deal breaker as at least it stays when set) The biggest problem with the current WE version is the valve knocker design that will snap VERY easily when a magazine is inserted (Uncocked). Most pistols have a hinged knocker that folds up when a mag is inserted. Edited April 30 by EDcase THE CHIEF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE CHIEF Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Oh I agree it's a bit of a crap design, I didn't push my luck and buy the MK3. But I would certainly like a true modern spec version not just a rehash or a bad design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
