How does the Umarex compare to TM/WE?

I meant it terms of build quality and feel?

it’s a totally different gun, made of thin polymer and thin alloy, feels nothing like a TM/WE/KJW or any other Glock, including the all the Umarex Glocks I’ve owned.

 

Feels solid enough, has a lovely kick for a tiny gun, build quality is not up to TM standards, and it’s based upon the KWA Glock system, not TM either.

 

Should be fine as a sock gun, Wouldn't hold out much hope For additional mags though lol

2 bags of this https://www.military1st.co.uk/ac-ghf-pp-03-helikon-ghillie-fiber-yarns-us-woodland.html

Yes I know burlap is cheaper and you cna dye your own for cheaper but when you've bought the burlap and taken hours to separate it and then bought different colour dyes and taken the time for that then this doesn't work out as badly as you'd think.

Also as it is synthetic it is stated it won't go up in flames like real burlap would do (ideal incase pyro gets thrown on you).

Just ordered a Visionking 1.25-5x26 short dot from Ebay and a copy Geissele mount from AliExpress after seeing one on someone else's gun further up this thread (probably this same page).  Will try it on my Sopmod and then it'll end up on the DMR build I've got planned for next year.

Clone Aimpoint ACRO turned up today, would have been rude not to fit it

 

 

 

[Adolf Hamster]

Nice, how do you find it for acquiring the dot?

[TheFull9]

The chunkiest pistol red dot on the thiccest pistol.  That's a setup for a main film character, coming to you in 2020.

All the reviews I've seen out of the states sat easier than an RMR/Delta point etc, it's a tube so you have something to line up/look down vs a flat plain.  I know I've struggled a bit fishing for the dot shooting real handguns with RMRs, but I fired a Glock with a 6-second mount and a T-1 once and that was easier.

Yeah, i'd heard the tube was meant to be a bit quicker/easier, plus its a bit more weatherproof.

Seems alright so far, won’t competition shoot until the new year though 👍🏻

Fair enough, be interested to see how it goes.

 

I'm not a fan of red dots on pistols but maybe might consider treating the hicapa at some point.

As  you can probably see, it’s large, but it’s meant to be militarised, so kind of suits the FNX.

I’ve run a few mags through it, zero seems pretty stable

Yeah, its not as sleek as some of the others, but then as you say the design is meant to be practical.
