About bloody time.  What sort of involvement Cybergun have I'm not sure but there's no huge, blaring, horrible airsoft trades screaming out in these pics so I've put an order in.  Fairly pricey compared to the Glocks though.

Hmmmz, damn it does look good.

 

Would be nice to have with my X300U and in my newly acquired kydex holster :o

 

Cybergun is the licenser and distributor of this gun. VFC is the OEM.

 

And I am not sure if 30 USD over the Stark Glocks qualify as "pricy" in comparison?

I love my TM GBBPs, but my thought is that when the M&P does eventually come out it'll follow the same trend as the other new releases (that aren't refreshed models like the E2 and M9A1).  It'll have the new type of blowback parts which work great for the 144a power stuff they use in Japan, but won't be so well suited to the increased pressure of propane.

I did see WGC selling the Starks for something in the region of $85 at one point (when the site ha a lot more models listed than it does right now), which makes this about 50% more expensive.  Everything's relative, it's certainly not the priciest pistol but although they are nice I'd expect a reasonably noticeable quality increase over the Glocks considering that price difference.  ~$30-50 might be not much to you or someone else, but I might be a hell of a lot to some folks.

OK, was it the untraded Glock 19 that went for $85 USD? I think that I recall that as well, makes sense.

 

Because the trademarked Glock 17s, which is a more fair comparison in terms of size and material mass compared to this Cybergun M&P, goes for $100-$105 USD currently, trademarked version.

 

Either way, this is Cybergun officially licensed, where as the Glocks are not, so there's your differense right there. :o

 

 

Also, is it just me or is the gap in the seam line between palm swell and frame too big on the VFC M&P ? :|

as much as i want to wait for the TM i do want this, it looks good! but a review is needed before i go splashing the cash

 

I think you can be safe with just reading up on the Cybergun/VFC M&P9c. It's just a bit more plastic added, I would assume.

Pretty much. The only concession to give for applying reviews of the compact version is the obvious stuff of power and gas efficiency; since the longer barrel & bigger gas reservoir you can expect a little more power per shot, and more shots per fill.
