How bad are Bell pistols?

[Devlin]

In particular i'm looking at the 1911a1 and P226, they're both TM clones but are they any good? Long range performance does'nt bother me too much but I do want reliability and quick cycling so are the Bell pistols going to let me down in those respects?

I agree with wires there, my mate has a M92f and it's been pretty shocking, I don't think it's worked properly since he got it :S

I think I've had 3 BELL 1911's, and all of them have been very good for the money - 2 plastic ones for £45 and the metal for £60 (BRAND NEW). If you have to pay above that though, you might as well go TM.
