Sig P226 - TM or KWA?

I've wanted a GBB P226 for a long time, and I keep jumping between a TM and a KWA - I just can't make up my mind.

What does anyone recommend or suggest?

I'd say give them both a try in your local store if possible. You'll definitely be able to tell what's best for you.

Just swapped a TM 226, great piece of kit. Also used the NS2 version. I really love Tm's but being fair I would go for the NS2 KWA without a doubt, it is heavier, the NS-2 system is the future, about as accurate as a TM, but feels better than a TM and with the new system works just as well in the cold, the one I used didn't vent once.
When I look for another 226 it will be the KWA -NS2

KWA all day long.

Both are great but in my opinion the kwa has more to bring to the table than the TM

I personally would buy the KWA 226.... Infact I already did.... BUT

The mags for the TM 226 and the newer e2 model are far easier to source. As are spares and aftermarket parts.

Ok, seems the KWA is leading by far. But how does it perform in colder weather? I know these things are gas dependant, so what gas would be best? I read on one website that it's green gas only. Surely not the case?

They ain't lying.

will work on most stuff , I had used mine with propane , green gas and abbey predator with no issues ,keep an eye on the the sights in case they fall off .

Kwa all the way, no doubt about it
Tm was way last year the ns2 is the way forward

The only problem with the kwa ns2 is that there are not much aftermarket parts so if your looking to customise your sidearm you might want to take a deep thought

My KWA P226 arrived today and its awesome.
TM is crumby plastic and feels more "toy" like.

NS2 works better in the cold i've been told

its true! my KWA M9 PTP had nearly a white slide and my mate asked me "why you paint it that?" i replied "its the frost" and it was still shooting as if you were on a hot summers day!
however on the other hand my ABS plastic TM glock 17 shot one BB in a whole mag!

Picked up a TM P226E2 yesterday and it's fantastic, my favourite TM GBB to date. The KWAs are nice, but the 100% lack of aftermarket support puts me off. Oh and the metal slide, I don't like those.

100% lack of aftermarket support

slight exaggeration there, considering there is KWA USA, and KWA UK..who will ship parts to you
