I had two Tanaka Browning HP a while back. Is the trigger connected to the hammer sear by a rocker lever in the slide? If so, that's a weak point to be watched. You break that, you have a dead pistol.

That's probably just reflections. Dark areas are not in the same places between the photos.

Focus! Focus! Please describe how the finish looks. Apparently the silver ones have speckled spray paint finish.

Congrats on getting that AK! I always wanted an Escort RPK. Question for you. On the slow-mo video, the bolt stroke appears to be somewhat inconsistent. Have you noticed any FPS variation on full auto?

Thanks for the lovely review! But some idea of accuracy/group spread please.

Generally agree with snowman, but I'd like to throw my increasing weight around my citing my own experience. The TM metal components (trigger/sear lock works, safeties, etc) are horrible. My first GBB was TM M9 with a metal slide, and after about two years, the trigger and safety felt like mush due to parts wear. My second hand WA Colt CDP 1911 is even more hard used, and all the controls still feel great. BUT, a WA 6" Xcellerator Hybrid had less than perfectly casted frames and hybrid barrels. They were pitted in places and some of the edges were malformed. I don't think new

Great review, and a great pack. I picked one up, and although it hasn't seen any airsoft action yet, I've taken it to Italy and Caribbean trips. It's just amazing how versatile it is, as well how much it holds. At one point, I've had two decent sized Italy tour books, passports, train tickets, pens, wife's make up stuff, phone, various coins and bills, and three apples. My wife was so amazed with the capacity that she stopped carrying her purse. One thing to note is that the asymetrical shoulder strap angle allows it to sit slightly behind you or in front of you, depen

BigAl, where did you find that 3" Flatside? I've been looking for a replacement ever since I sold both of mine...

It was originally a WA 1911 CDP (Shibuya Custom Works version), back from when SCW meant really limited production item. It's currently got a metal slide as well as black pearlite grips from gungrips.net. And after the photos were taken, I installed gold bead sights.

I've used gungrips.net for my first project in line with DumboRAT's philosophy on Castor Troys. They photoetched back then, and it came out very nicely. But I had ordered another pair of grips with them recently, but they had changed to laser engraving. Not as nice... I'll see if I can post the new one soon.

Ooooo... That's just the FTC AK, right? Not the Sheriff version? I haven't had first hand experience with the FTC AK, but I hear the internals are rather complicated and not as robust as other classic airsoft... If you need more info, go to www.classicairsoft.net. I'm sure the guys would be glad to be of help.

That looks like an MGC Weigland/Caspian to me...

Is that an original hybrid? I forgot the difference between the original version and the aftermarket part...

Hi! Glad to have someone from Korea posting with us! Since you started quite early, got any old gas airsofts?

I love those grips. No need to transplant the weight panels...

Okay people, just as with movies, people disagree on what they like/dislike and what they look for. So find someone that shares your taste and listen to what they say. If they're not in similar range of taste, let them be. I read blazing reviews of KJW with a grain of salt, and only come to defense of higher end piece only when it's entirely based on rumors and misconceptions. Also accuracy depends on many factors. Unless one of you has a Ransom rest, broad cross samples of tested pistols, and measured range distance, let another person's accuracy claim be and just post your own. And

Marcus, thanks for the info. It's a good day when I learn something new. MadMax, I'd like to see the holster for that monster!

Marcus, where is that compensated barrel from?

Excellent review! I'll be looking forward to your additional testings. BTW, I've heard that the short barreled versions have dismal power, so an accurate FPS number would be quite appreciated if possible.

Hey Flat, would you say that the finish on that Protector is more like Tanaka's Midnight blue, or more like KSC CZ-75 First Version? Photography can be bit different from the real sight...

My Lord! Where did you get that CDP? That's the pistol that first drew me to WA, and when I was finally ready to buy, I couldn't find it anywhere... Oh yeah, and close-up pics of that Protector will be much appreciated! Some people called it the most attractive WA single-stacker...

Sorry Mao, I don't have the pistols anymore. But I'll drop you a message if I have a higher resolution pics somewhere.
