KWA or KJW M9?

[Benkid]

After a full metal M9. Anyone had experience with either or both of these guns. Im the type of guy who only likes to buy something once and keep it for life. Not concerned about high maintenance slong as its rewarded. After pros and cons of them both. As far as I can work out from reviews and searches:

KWA:
-More expensive
-Build quality second to none
-Great accuracy
-IMO ugly trades plastered down both sides
-Mags/parts hard to come by

KJW:
-Value for money
-Good build quality
-fairly easy to find parts
-Not as accurate as the some
-Leaking Mags

Thanks

KJW with Marui mags can be a winner.

I'd probably say KJW too, it's been a long time but I have had both.

Construction wise they are both in about the same ball park, they are both solidly built with good metals whatever they may actually be.
The KWAs plastic outer barrel was a bit of a downside for me, if KJW can use a metal outer barrel then why not KWA.
The KJW is slightly worse off on gas consumption and cold weather usage and doesn't have the functional decocker that the KWA has.
But the biggest selling point for me is that the KJW is TM compatible so mags and spares are never a problem unlike KWA

KWA PTP for the win

KJ with TM mags.

The KWA is very good, but that ball bearing hop is a bugger.

I get on very well with the ball bearing hop. (P226)

Just dont strip you guns and lose the bearing lol. Spent 2 hours looking for mine.

Opted for the KJW and she's a belter. What's the benefit of TM mags? Gas consumption?

Re: KWA or KJW M9?

And ease of buying them. KWA ones are hard to get hold of

Re: KWA or KJW M9?

If it were me I'd get the KJW as it's better value

Try mine out first mate, see how you get on with them.

Get the kwa! Ns2 gas system is just as good as Tms. I have one and it's brilliant.
