Wingman Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 While many only use them as a back-up to their primary, I'm finding more and more shooters using their pistols as primary. I myself have gone this route several times with some positive results. While I generally use a CYMA G18c AEP in this role (fitted with M3 light, rail system, red-dot holographic sight and hi-caps), I've also been using a KJW 1911A1, HFC G17 or a KSC M9 when temperatures allowed. When using pistols as primary, I carry two. One on my tactical vest and the other in a thigh holster. Spare magazines are ususally carried on the vest as I find they are easier to get to. I'll carry a minimum of 4 spare magazines (6 for the 1911) for each of the gas pistols. For the AEP, I generally carry 4-6 hi-caps for the primary pistol and 6-8 standard mags for the back-up.

TK Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 TM Socom MK23 with just silencer, no lam, 6 mags. I have used this as my primary for a few games now, just whilst my M4 was broke, and have been enjoying it. Carrion - what tac light do you use? Does it fit the MK23 ok?

Carrion Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 i use a normal tac light with a barrel mount its a 2 plates of metal and 2 bolt variety one which is just wide enough to go over the rail. that saidzero one do a replacement rail for them so its a 20mmm rail not the arsey one on the socom Link to post Share on other sites

Donut Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 KSC P232 >:3 Nice little pistol, doubt action goodness too. Or sometimes I use a TM G26 Compacts ftw Link to post Share on other sites
eel one [COE] Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 TM Hi-capa 5.1 and a total of 3 mags. It will only be used in situations where my JP-15 with 20" barrel are just to long. The piston is carried in a BHI Serpa belt holster on right hip and spare mags in a Emdom 6o4 on the left hip. Link to post Share on other sites
Frakk2k Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I used a KWC Desert Eagle on Co2. I love using pistol indoors, I never use my primary inside, nothing more satisfying than pistolkills. Link to post Share on other sites
Marginal Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I used to have 6 or 7 GBB's a couple of years ago. Sold all of them. My most used one was the TM M9 Tactical Master. I'm now waiting for a TM G17 to arrive, with a Guarder Kit (complete with metal slide, original lower frame, enhanced recoil spring...) and I also have a brand new TM H&K MP7. I will only be relying on those two as a sidekick. Link to post Share on other sites
eel one [COE] Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Isn't it a little inconvenient to carry you r piston separatly It is to give the opposing team a fair chance. I'm just to good a shot, so I have to limit myself. I don't install the piston before the opposing team start to engage my in a fire fight... Link to post Share on other sites
Massumma Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I don;t actually play enough CQC to post in this thread, but I do have an instance where I plan to use a pistol as a primary. I''ve got a Tm.Mk23 NBB, and I want to get one of those rail mounts that goes above the slide, and put a reflex sight on it, as well as a the supressor. I'd wear a ghille suit, and go do recon missions. Link to post Share on other sites

Bronco5150 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I run pistols only with either an Upped TM SVI 4.3, or a TM Limcat 5.1 no holster, and I carry my mags in molly pouches Link to post Share on other sites
gisburn20 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I tend to run a TM Glock 18c AEP ( tightbore , + nineball internals + TM Prolite) fitted with a TM Tracer unit for urban night games, only use 30 round mags (5 in total) as a primary with an upgraded propane powered TM MK23 as an anti "teflon player" weapon... no silencer on the MK23 , for intimidation factor (sounds like a canon in a small room at night compared with the AEP!) Jim P.s. stunt, shouldnt you be using a double allessi shoulder rig and a milt sparks "six pack"? LOL Long live John Thomas Rourke! Link to post Share on other sites

swannie_2006 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I play regularly at Andy's elektroWerkz. There I use a WA Kimber Warrior with M3 tac light. 5 mags altogether.

Nicholas Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 "Heavy in good. Heavy is reliable. If it does not work, you can always hit him with it." Snatch. I can't say I've had much experience with different guns or actually playing airsoft in close quarters (I've got no place to play with organized matches near me), but I'm getting an Infinity soon and I think any of those would do well in CQC. BattlePriest seemed to think they were great (if not the best) for playing pistols only. If using a pistol as a primary in (airsoft) CQC, accuracy and FPS might be less important, but for outdoor use there seem to be little pistols as accurate (and with as high FPS) as a 6-inch Infinity, although SCW3 has a fixed hop-up and that doesn't seem desirable when you're trying shoot people with AEGs from high distances.

James Kelly Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 The Mk.23 seems to be a popular choice. I use one for CQB as well. I've got a second magazine and a tightbore coming in the mail, so it should start seeing more use now that the weather is starting to improve, Link to post Share on other sites
