Mr Foxhound Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Its WE though. Means crappy build and crappy quality. Save up and get a TM instead. Ive shot both, TM blows it way out of the water Link to post Share on other sites
Sturaiku Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I normally defend China from statements like that, but for 116 + s/h, It's definitely not worth getting just because of WE's quality. Spend a little extra and buy a TM MEU. It may have a plastic slide and such, but it's overall reliability makes up for any external "weakness" a plastic body has. Link to post Share on other sites
Warning Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 is the TM MEU out yet? or did you mean build one up? EDIT: nvm just seen it on RedWolf, funny that i didn't find it on WGC Shop, seems they are slipping a bit :/ Link to post Share on other sites
Newsh Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Collecting my TM MEU tomorrow eveining, will post up decent pics Link to post Share on other sites
Hispeed1 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Where did this come from? It says on WGC that its Taiwan made and WE based. I'd take this over TM. It has metal parts and full trades. I'm almost 100% that this can take TM 1911 upgrade parts. I hope gas capacity is better than the TM 1911. This is full of teh WIN!

Warning Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 from what i heard the gas consumption of WE's are really bad compared to TM's EDIT: just seen the mag cap is only 15+1, the TMs is supposedly 28+1, meaning the mags might not be compatible Link to post Share on other sites
Kai_Wolf Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 It does seem interesting indeed, but just with my past experiences with WE guns, Im going to steer clear of this one. The metal body and parts are a plus, but I cant imagine it is a high quality metal. I am also expecting my TM MEU to come in from RWA tomorrow. Ill try to post up pics as well.

davedawg123 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Very interesting. I highly doubt the WE would be fully compatible with the TM though. Even with the A1, tolerances were off. Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 the mags arent compatible. some internal parts are, such as the trigger and hammer, and the slide is compatible. -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
AZN KID Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Ohhh me want! Hmm looks nice and i like the trades. Link to post Share on other sites
FriendlyFire! Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I knew people were going to say, "dont get it its a WE". No worries have not added anything to cart yet hehe, but I'm a real sucker when it comes to full metal 1911's and with trades too! TM's MEU looks the sex too and has the quality to back it up, so looks like I'll still be window shopping. And yes I do own a TM 1911 with SFA Guarder metal kit I love the the damn thing to death.

The Crunchy Bunny Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I may have to get this. I was hoping for a full metal MEU, and now it's happened, even if it is a WE. Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Holy ######! I hadnt noticed the trades! Springfield ones! Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 They need to make the chrome version: Anyone know of a good method to polish it and make it look like this? Oh, and where the hell can I get Springfield grips with the logo? Link to post Share on other sites

FriendlyFire! Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Minor update from WGC, price drop from $116. to $97. Lovely! Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 ... Does it have "Made in Taiwan" stamped on the side? If it does, I'm not buying it, lol! Ben. Link to post Share on other sites
Warning Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 ... Does it have "Made in Taiwan" stamped on the side? If it does, I'm not buying it, lol! Ben. may i ask why that would put you off buying one? EDIT: by the looks of the WGC picture it doesn't look like it does have Made in Taiwan stamped on the side, instead it looks like on the right hand side SPRINGFIELD ARMOURY (something can't make out what) USA (and i think it has a serial number that starts 0401) Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 ... Does it have "Made in Taiwan" stamped on the side? If it does, I'm not buying it, lol! Ben. I've seen one in a local shop, and I saw "Made in Taiwan"............. ............but on a sticker sticked on the frame Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 *Giggles* Every cap gun I had as a small child had Made In Taiwan stamped on it... Not exactly suspension of disbelief, is it?! Ben. Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Just recieved the confirmation email from WGC: shipping to Spain (and being EMS I assume its gonna be the same for the rest of the world) is 43$, totaling 140$ or 97 euros. Im ordering one as soon as I find a pair of Springfield wood grips with logo. Link to post Share on other sites
snowman Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 *Giggles* Every cap gun I had as a small child had Made In Taiwan stamped on it... Not exactly suspension of disbelief, is it?! Ben. Yeah! "Made in Japan" is so much more realistic... Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
