I'm gonna agree with Collin on this one. Current Gen and Next-Gen TM GBB's (Ie. 5.1/4.3, Glock 17, P226, 1911, Detonics) pretty much blow everything out of the water as far as performance stock out of the box economy wise, sure you can get a really really accurate WA, but it'll cost more.

I'd say avoid KJW as the factors of cheap FMU are outweighed with poor cold weather performance, poor build quality/fit and monkey metal.

The 1911 is a nice design, and has a gorgeous build (no mould lines!), but has the downside of trying to fit too much ammo in a singe stack magazine. Aftermarket parts however (since it's a very similar design to the slightly older 5.1/4.3 designs) make it extraordinarily easy to make into a very nice looking and high performance race gun.

I'm a fan of the P226 (having owned one for two-three years running virtually stock on propane) mainly because it has a nice grip (enhanced by hogue), has the decocker and has been notoriously accurate for something with such a short barrel. Plus; it's different!
