GLOCK

[Protagonist]

Whats the best Glock in your opinion? Name the reason (could be looks/performance). Experiences? And just favorite GBB company that has that Glock.

Love the looks of the G19, but functionality will go to the G18 or G17. KWA/KSC can be tricky when upgrading, but it just takes a little experience. I haven't heard anything bad about TM, and their pistols are great quality, so I wouldn't see any reason to think otherwise. Stay away from HFC. KJW can be finicky sometimes, but it is decent. I rate it like this (not sure if I have left out any big brands).

TM
KSC/KWA
KJW
HFC

I have to completely disagree with your assessment of the HFC Glocks. I own the G17 (metal and plastic slide) as well as the G26 (metal and plastic slide). They are direct copies of the Tokyo Marui Glocks (which I also own) and are just as serviceable and in fact have better magazines than the TM's.

While not "pretty", they function as well as any other Glock out there and I actually like them better than my KSC/KWA's as they appear to be more robust and can take a beating better.

Before our team switched to the CYMA CM.030 G18c AEP as "tem pistol", I used a HFC G17 (after cracking the frame on my KWC USPc). Other than in very cold weather, the pistol functioned flawlessly and with green gas was quite powerful and accurate. We had two KSC Glock frames crack (a G18c and a G17). Decided the gas pistols were getting too expensive to take the chance any longer and went the AEP route.

Since September 2006, I've put 12,000 shots thru one of the 4 CYMA's that I own and have not had a single jam or failure to fire! People were initially complaining about the 220 fps, until it was pointed out that the TM 1911A1 shoots 230 when using 134! No one seems to complain about the 1911A1. Enough said.

If you want selective fire (like a G18c) the AEP is the only way to go. The gas versions are terrible gas hogs and there is a history of slide and frame fractures. The AEP's will give you 1000+ shots from a 3 hour battery charge, have a 30 round standard magazine and a 100 round hi-cap magazine (no gas pistol comes close). Range is over 120 feet and in CQB it drives people crazy with its accuracy and rate of fire.

All this for $56.00 shipped!

My pick (for actual skirmishing-not just for looks):

CYMA or TM G18c AEP
HFC G17
TM G17 or G26 Advance
KSC/KWA G17

KSC G34. Longest inner barrel, so the best fps and range out of them all. Just as strong as the G17/19 and can take all the G17 upgrades (minus the inner/outer barrel). Plus it comes with extended slide lock and mag release. Coupled with a BoomArms slide, the best Glock period.
