Yuri Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I just bought a Marui Glock, so I'll be reading this with interest. I was looking at another review on an different forum and there a guy got a slight but definite fps increase from the PDI piston head. So why is it that Marui don't use the seemingly superior O-ring design themselves? Instead they always go with the molded rubber piston head which besides being inefficient, is also probably harder to make. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Your review is the third TM GLOCK 17 review here. Perhaps the two previous ones and this one could be combined? Having read all three, it would be like hanging The Gioconda and some modern art shat in the same room, but hey... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jammi Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 This review is helped me make the switch from KSC to TM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Templar Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Briliiant review. That has made my mind up which way to go. Many thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Glad you like it. Just to follow up there will be no more additions to this review as I am selling off all my airsoft gas gear and switching to full metal factory made CO2 guns. Too much hassle and money to upgrade TM guns for it to be worth it for me personally. CO2 KJW and WE is where it's at now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Templar Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Crikey. Can I have the TM G17 ? I will feed it and take it for walks and everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Just reserved it for another guy a few hours ago. Also don't know about selling guns to the UK with your laws and all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bulmedius Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) i was wondering what the difference was between the third generation glock 17 and the TM custom glock 17s with the foliage/sand lowers were edit: internally i mean, not externally http://www.dentrinityshop.com/pr_details.jsp?pid=14889| http://www.dentrinityshop.com/pr_details.jsp?pid=10745 Edited December 31, 2011 by bulmedius Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bulmedius Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 i can't seem to edit my original post but i was wondering if the tm glock 17 would fit a glock 21 serpa as it doesnt fit the glock 17 serpa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Internally they are most likely exactly the same. I think people use either Glock 21 or Glock 22 holsters for the TM Glock, look around the forum to confirm which one it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
original poster Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Recently got my TM G17 with upgraded parts (including a metal PGC slide!). Extremely happy with it, highly recommended! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Internally they are most likely exactly the same. I think people use either Glock 21 or Glock 22 holsters for the TM Glock, look around the forum to confirm which one it is. Quoting a super old reply...lol For TM if you were to buy non-adjustable molded holster, you might have better luck getting Glock 20/21 holster(not 22). In real steel, the Glock 20/21(10mm and .45ACP) has slightly wider frame than the 9mm/.40 gun. as TM fit the 9mm/.40 holster REALLY REALLY tight(sometimes it does not even fit), going for the wider frame model makes it more likely to work. I've tried this with the Raven Concealment System Kydex, ordered one for the Glock 20/21, and it fits perfectly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
original poster Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Same with Blackhawk Serpa's, the 20/21 version fits the TM 17 perfectly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Thanks for telling me which one it is :0 WIll try to remember! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 KSC G19 is still king of airsoft glocks for me, defo not as accurate as the marui g17, but externaly you can not get better then the ksc g19 frame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Really ? I had a KSC Glock 19 way back when they first came out, and I had a TM Glock 17, and the Guarder kit for it, and now the HK Glock 17. And overall, the HK wins hands down. I have to admit though that my memory of the KSC Glock frame is a bit hazy but I know it shifted color in different light conditions due to the material used and it also felt very cold and sparkly. The HK feels very polymer-ish like and has great feel and texture. The KSC is ABS + metal resin reinforcement or something like that if I recall. So yeah, I have to disagree but admit due to memory foggyness I may be incorrect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 The ksc g19s frame is the best airsoft glock frame available, I had a marui with a guarder kit (the one you had in tan) a stark g18 and a we g17. and the frame is so aestheticly better then all the fore mentioned guns It a non contest. Plus the ksc g19 frame doesent mark half as easy as the rest as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 KSC G19 was the one that used to have the HW frame...they just "feel" better in hand... Only thing is I hate working on KSCs..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emp3ror86 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) I ordered a TM Glock 17 today from Tokyo Model Company. They sent me a video to prove that it works (never experienced such thing in 4 years of airsoft) and surprisingly the frame seems to be in OD colour. I tried to google it but could not find any information so I am asking here. Was there ever such release by TM? I bought a plain black stock TM G17. I know about the custom series but that one is foliage. Or it might be a shop custom version with a Guarder frame? TMC has not answered yet. Here is the video: https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=cd8e335a6c83cb1e&id=CD8E335A6C83CB1E!24169&Bsrc=SkyMail&Bpub=SDX.SkyDrive&authkey=!AMFnzU6zc45we98 Silverlight is necessary to watch it.

mimesis Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) The "custom" versions exist(ed) in green and tan. http://echigoya-guns.com/guns/index.php?route=product/product&path=51&product_id=121 http://echigoya-guns.com/guns/index.php?route=product/product&path=51&product_id=120 Edited March 4, 2013 by mimesis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 And in smoked clear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emp3ror86 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Existed is better. I could not find one. But mine is clearly not a custom version but a stock Glock 17 with OD frame. Now I am really wondering what I will receive. Edited March 4, 2013 by emp3ror86 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emp3ror86 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 They just sent a wrong video. Damn. I was happy about getting an OD frame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emp3ror86 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 APS CO2 magazine Fancy box. Nice finish, good assembly. It just feels fine. APS on the left, TM on the right. Only marking the magazine got is on the baseplate. Will it fit a TM Glock? It does perfectly. It shoots, slide locks back without problems. This magazine is pretty much the same as a TM magazine. I chronoed it to 355-370 FPS. Only issue I had with the magazine is that I had to sand off some paint from its inside, where the CO2 cartridge is seated. Otherwise the cartridge might get stuck. And obviously recoil is now a problem. I have to look for a stronger slide and recoil springs because a Guarder 150% spring is not enough. Guns Modify's reinforced frame is also a must have item. Surprisingly the stock hammer spring and valve knocker is enough to open the valve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bio-Works Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 The TM is by far better than both the WE and KSC versions which I have owned, the polymer barely changes my opinion a bit! slap on a guarder slide if you are that bothered! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
