A few niggles I have with my TM Hi Capa
It is upgraded, but I'm fairly sure they pertain to a stock model as well:
the hop actuation lever is made of a softer metal and after extended use, will weaken; you need to strip the gun and re-bend it into shape
not to mention, you need to strip the gun to access the hop; its not as fiddly with Glocks, but with 1911's it takes longer
I prefer KSC's hop unit
the sights are of the "target" variety and targeting tends to be a bit slower versus sights on Berettas and glocks
magazine catch is quite large and will bump loose in a softer holster; I switched to a hard Safariland 6004 and it was ok
and of course there is the O-ring problem; In Japan, all you need to do is drop by the equivalent of a Home Depot or Home Hardware and pick up an O-ring of the same size (10, I believe it is)
Its not a standard size here in Canada
after extended use, the manual safety tends to be 'mushier' than those on WA's
It still works, but I can flick the safety on even when the hammer is down
and on the topic of the hammer: you cannot manual decock; it only decocks to the half-cock position, unlike WA where you can fully manual-decock the hammer
you need to actually pull the trigger without the magazine in the gun to decock
the leaf spring sometimes fails to catch on the sear, so the hammer will not stay in the cocked position
its quite interesting if you insert a full mag, cock the gun and can't do a thing as the gun cooks off all 31 shots in the magazine
fixed easily by removing the mainspring housing to access the leaf spring
now, I'm just being picky, but I prefer the more aggressive checkering on the grips that WA has on their 1911's, especially around the front of the grip; just feels better IMO
