NonEx Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Somehow when I read Fireknife and a non-sexually charged term (tea-cupping) it suddenly becomes an adult enterntainment innuendo. NonEx, whether or not I decide to drop some bills for this will depend entirely on you and your review of this. Ah, well, I think the problem with that is I hate everything I get The good thing is I have both HK/WE PX4 and WE XDM to compare it to so it gives both me and everyone else good referense points as to build quality, materials and finish etc. Anyhow, but I will certainly try to provide as much video, pictures and info as I can when I get it, because trust me, I will get this, ASAP! I have a review template ready to drop on to this, that I am using to prep myself for reviews of my other pistols, just gotta get the time and energy to actually get going with that. This is insane, I think I want this more than the domestic Taiwanese market does... Not because I particularly like the M&P _that_ much but because of the pure anticipation and excitement. Never had a gun at release before Link to post Share on other sites
kenxin Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Never was. The pics I posted were of home-made/custom after-the-fact trademarks. I think at some point there will be a traded version, the demand for it is certainly there, both domestic and worldwide. Have patience New video from Hammer Model (the ones that listed price and pre-order) Keep the comments about the hot girl to yourself Which one? the one shooting or the one looking bored out of her mind in the back? Anyways, I can't tell if the sights are glow-paint-ed or white ones... Is it me or the trigger has an audible reset on some of the shots? Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I was refering to the one shooting. Perhaps using the word hot was a bit too much, cute is more appropriate. I can't hear any trigger reset sounds, the secondary sound after the shot is the BB hitting the target, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
kenxin Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 The two shots at 0:07-0:08 do seem to have a "click" sound of the trigger resetting... perhaps it's just me but that doesn't sound like bbs hitting the target at all. And about the girl shooting...I like her awkward expression at the end, it's cute and funny somewhat. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Can't tell tbh... Yeh, that what I was refering too. Kinda weird cute eyes smiling going on there New video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=18jUptFiHx4 Again with the early slide catch ? Link to post Share on other sites

Kinda weird cute eyes smiling going on there New video: Again with the early slide catch ? Pretty woman? seriously? Pink aside, it's the second time that we've seen this particular instance of the gun do that with the slide catch. If it's not a gaping flaw in the design, my money would be on this thing being a pre-production test-bed or something (unpainted sights and unfinished back of the BBU). The other videos of the M&P don't show this problem. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Well it's the same shooter and we don't see the left hand side of the pistol so it is possible the magazine catch is being bumped... Also judging from the pink frame I think the frame polymer looks pretty good in terms of how it looks in the light etc. looks promising. Not that I want the pink frame or anything Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Not that I want the pink frame or anything We all want teh pink framez!!!! Still could his not be an old video, before the present ones as they did seem to do a video every few days. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
kenxin Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Purple frame this time, with painted sights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fDSNgCAd1ts That paintjob on the sights is beyond atrocious. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Good thing about paint ... it can be removed and done right. Link to post Share on other sites
kenxin Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Good thing about paint ... it can be removed and done right. Probably unnecessary, I'd bet that this is just a quick job so the thing has white dots for the videos and the production models are done a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Good thing about paint ... it can be removed and done right. Good thing about the paint.... I probably have to buy a new slide anyway with markings... Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I was actually thinking about looking up local engravers/laser/CNC shops around me to get custom markings made, but I think it's too much effort to do myself, as there will most likely be a markings version released.

NonEx Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Fekk I just realized something... The demand for this is going to be HUGE on the domestic Taiwan market, considering it is their official Police carry side arm. Which means outside of Taiwan it will take even longer and be harder to get a hold of than the other models... Add on top of that the general demand and craze over this release... It's going to be crazy yo ! Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Before you go bananas over having it engraved, consider that it's very likely for Guarder to make slides for it with proper trades and possibly even versions with custom shop options (front serrations etc.).

NonEx Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Yes that is what I concluded in my post as well. I think this of all models will have most aftermarket support of the recent pistols. Link to post Share on other sites

Makes me wonder if I should buy it on release or wait for that and Ehobby to sell it with an aftermarket slide already on it. Hm. lol Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 For months now Guarder has been advertising three versions of a holster for a S&W M&P 9C. Without selling a pistol that fits it... http://www.intrudershop.com.tw/show_product_eng.asp?idproduct=2117#top Given WE's track record with the XDM, I think we know--and Guarder knows--where they'll go next.

Template gone wrong or actually released ? Seems like it should have been confirmed elsewhere if it were true. Pics don't look like the final version at least, that's for sure .

NonEx Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I seriously wonder if that will be true for the non Taiwan market, just feels odd, but we shall see. Link to post Share on other sites
