There's KJW, then there's WE(TM? Is WE TM's trademark in US? if someone can confirm with me that would be great) - then there's the models : Hi-capa KP-05, KP-06, 4.1, 5.1, Dragon, 7-Dragon, and on and on.... making my head spin a little @_@;;

I'm looking for one that I can game with, and I can also go for tactical shooting clinics with. Any suggestions? I also saw there's WE 1911 4.3 Tactical... Which LOOKS like a Hi-Capa, but comes in Tan.

Thanks everyone,

TM > WE > KJW.

I've had so many problematic KJW's pass through my hands that I can't really recommend them at all unless you have very strict limits (ie tight budget but require metal slide/barrel.)

WE's are a bit better but still suffer from durability issues. Fitment issues also still exist with slightly more wobbly barrel-to-slide and slide-to-frame fitments, but as far as QC goes, they're better now than in the past. This is the most recommended option for a low budget but metal slide/barrel requirement.

If your budget allows it, the best option is always Tokyo Marui for the greatest compatibility with aftermarket components, quality control, durability, and fitment.

Once you figure out which brand to get, the decision of what model to get is purely YOUR choice... I can't tell you what to get, as I don't know what your play style is. If it makes any sense to you, I have every model in the Marui line, only because each one has it's own characteristics.

But if you want an overall "do-it-all", I would suggest a 5.1 with adjustable rear sights and ambidextrous safeties to start with. Later on down the road, you can get more specific models, but the 5.1 I've described covers almost every base.

If this has already been asked, my bad.

No difference in nozzles. They are cross-compatible.

Sorry, I don't have a pic of it on hand. Maybe if I get a chance to take apart another pistol soon.

It should not be the cause of your BB roll outs.

I'm trying to solve a pistol with the same problem right now.
