Good to know, though aftermarket grip fitment will be a bit of an annoyance still.

There is no better performing pistol with the reliability and accuracy than a stock TM pistol. (This is not opinion, most would consider this a fact)

Perhaps I worded myself incorrectly, TM isn't the best value for what I'm looking for at the moment and factoring in the cost of a TM in Canada, I don't consider it the best. I don't doubt I'll be acquiring one further down the line but at the moment I don't particularly need a TM.
This blog post here by one of the local players pretty much sums up what I think about sidearms and why I wouldn't consider getting a TM right now. As long as I get something that looks good and can send bb's 20-30 feet out with relative accuracy I'm satisfied.

At this point I'm not really considering KWA's 1911 series as much just due to the fact it hasn't been designed well or has been "designed to fail". A KJW/Socom gear MEU seems to be the best bet.

As for WE, that would probably be the last 1911 I would recommend. Actually I wouldn't recommend one at all.

Out of curiosity, why is this so? Is it due to its longevity? I see a lot of WE bashing but not a lot of follow up on why. I've been through numerous forums and either they love WE or hate WE. Either they're robust as hell or breakage prone but that applies to every brand as we can see in this thread with the KWA's. I've read about issues with internal parts breaking but seeing as its largely TM compatible parts wise (correct me if I'm wrong) wouldn't swapping breakage prone parts resolve those issues?
I know early WE products were apparently crap but I've been seeing a number of threads saying WE's been coming out with better stuff lately.
I'm not stuck on WE or any brand for that matter, pretty open minded but would like to know whats up with their products as I'm still a noob when it comes to these things.
P.S., HackD you just posted while I was in the midst of writing this, now I really don't know what to think about the KWA's... haha
P.S.S., If you guys haven't noticed it by now, I tend to write a lot and ask a ton of questions, someone stop me if I start citing stuff... lol
