Sorry for replying late, FirestormX, you raise some good points regarding WE's (Rifles and Pistols) so I take your advice seriously. Coming back to the pistols, I have to say my 5.1 high-capa has given me little to no trouble in the few months that I've used it. It doesn't seem like a long time yes but I have used it a lot and I mean a lot, like back when my SCAR had a broken trigger (out of the box...), I would shoot my high-capa like crazy. I've dropped it, hit it, dropped mags, shot it in the cold (-20), didn't oil it for a bit (at first) and it shoots amazing. I really liked your TM for the fact that it was super light and the blowback on it was a LOT harder than I had imagined.

Getting back to WE's, I know that WE advertises their rifles under WETTI, maybe to set it apart from their pistols, but if they were truly that bad, airsoft websites would not stock them. It's like crossman, wtf is crossman you won't find their stuff at Toronto Airsoft, Evike, Airsoftdepot etc. However, you will find WE pistols. Now I'm not trying to say they are the shit, that no other pistol compares because that's obviously not true, but maybe what you heard and have personally witnessed on WE pistols is based off of their old models. Maybe they have finally gotten some quality control in their factory, resulting in shitty versions not being sent out to stores.

All in all, I have no idea what could be the cause of this hatred towards WE. They have some nice rifles, and they kick like a donkey =P. The pistols may not be on par with the rifles, but a WE pistol will fill its role, it's not really going to crap out on you in the middle of a game, it's happened to me once, but it wan't even the pistol, I used shitty bb's which jammed my gun in the middle of a firefight... I love WE rifles, I think they have some amazing products, and they primarily have a stock of GBB's which appeals to me. Again, I'm not saying they are the best, I know for example that GHK has superior GBB AK's compared to WE and some of the other companies, but I also know that, that GHK AK, is going to cost an extra $200 compared to a WE or a KJW or w.e.

I don't even know how I got into this, I just wanted to see if loafing_smurf was able to find a fix for that glock or not =P. As for the Kia analogy, it's good, but cars and guns are kind of like apples and oranges. A Honda b16a engine would most likely not find in the engine bay of a Kia =P, but speaking in hypothetically, let's say it does. That would be like replacing the ENTIRETY of that pistols internals with all TM parts: the blowback unit, nozzle, barrel, hopup chamber etc. The problem that loafing_smurf is having is with the blowback unit and the nozzle, so a stock nozzle from WE and a TM blowback should fix his problem, and make that pistol game-able. Yes it will still be a WE, but come one let's be serious for a minute, WE pistols are not going to crap out the minute you pull it out of your holster...Maybe it's not a pistol that you can run as a primary reliably (Say at TTAC during the CQB skirmishes) but it will be a secondary and when you un-holster, sight, and pull the trigger, the bb's going to hit it's mark.
