Really? I had the M9 KJW, and it was always working ((save for a couple months where I didn't put the seal in the mag at the top when I had to replace the feed lips, but that was user error)). Its true the KJW didn't deal well with colder temperatures as well as TM but I found to be on par with other guns like WE or WA at times. Overall, its a full metal pistol for the cost of a new plastic TM so there's some pro and con to it. Also I've heard lots of praise for the KJW 226.



Anyway, if its your first pistol and you want something thats going to work, I'd look for a TM hicappa 5.1. Stock the thing is a beast and even though its plastic will still handle propane. Installing an enhanced recoil spring will help make it last longer as well. The only thing is, that you'll be looking at additional costs of making it metal if you choose too. I currently have two of these and have sold off all other pistols. One is stock save for the recoil spring and I still prefer to "use" it over my FMU pistol. However the FMU is a much nicer pistol feel and showcase wise.
