Thank you. Your input is always very appreciated. I will continue to ponder for a few days on what I will choose.

Of the 4 I've handled:

1) I didn't even fire it. I picked it up, felt how cheap the lower felt (flash lines from the moulding process, plus the cheap light weight feel) and I put it back down. Purchase reversed, I wanted nothing to do with that gun.

2) Felt the same, but belonged to someone else. Out of the box, the gun was always firing to the left. The BB would hook hard to the left once it exited to the muzzle. Cause of the problem was never discovered, although I suspect it to be from an anomoly from the hop up chamber.

3) This one also belonged to someone else, the spring guide rod snapped. I have no idea how that happened. It just snapped. I helped import a new rod and installed it for this owner. Otherwise, it seemed to shoot fine, although sluggish action as I indicated a couple of posts previous.

4) This one shot fine. Also belonged to someone else. Same cheap feel of the lower receiver and same sluggish slide response.

Overall, not impressed with KWA and did not feel that it matched the quality of KSC. Granted, all of these guns came from the same production run. From what I remember, this was a limited run specifically for a Canadian retailer a couple of years ago.


For comparison, I have at one time or another owned:
2x KSC G19
2x KSC G23F
1x MGC Glock 17 Seidler Custom
1x KSC G17
1x KSC G18C

And have handled the previous Marui Glocks (excluding the new G17) & KSC G34.

The KWA offerings always left me feeling less satisfied than the other Glocks available on the market.
