  1. Can anyone say Equinox?

    --

     

    Ok, so maybe it's not strictly accurate, I don't like railed frames, and I'm currently trying to get a set of grey laminate grips from Sigarms, along with the Truglo fibre optic front sight. ;)

     

    cheers. :)

     

    I can (Eee-Kwee-noks), but I'm lost for a reason why I would?

     

    Cheers.

     

    PS The slide on my Tanaka 226 sits a fraction forward as on that real one, perhaps its supposed to?

  2. Just out of curiosity, how did you find HW material on Tanaka? For instance, I found that KSC HW material felt bit more "metalic" than WA's. I wonder how tanaka would compare against KSC/WA's HW material.

     

    Thanks.

     

    I'd say this gun is the most metallic looking plastic gun I've ever seen. It even feels cold to the touch.

     

    Cheers.

  3. KSC guns tend to lunch their internals on Green Gas (if they fail at all).

     

    WAs can break slides (Tanakas, too) - something to do with the high metallic content of the slide AND the fiercer kick than the TM or KSC gas systems.

     

    TMs can break, but it seems fairly rare. Even the 1911 seems pretty reliable, proving that guns don't need to be made of springer plastic to be so.

     

    To be honest, you don't seem to hear that many breakages of any make on green these days, although it's bloomin' hot today and there are a few guns I wouldn't run Ultrair Summer gas through in my loft today! (30C+)

     

    Cheers

  4. If it's any interest, the P226 does about 290 on Propane and the mag's held gas for 4 or 5 days without problem.

     

    No idea if it's a good idea to use strong gasses regularly, though.

     

    Cheers.
