TM Hands Down
Probally TM's best pistol and ive got mine in beutiful chrome!
And I do beilive you can get a barrel threaded for it so you can have a silencer

Re: Which P226?

However if you want it to be Full Metal then that rules the TM out. However, it doesnt really matter as the TM more than makes up for it in performance. I would stongly suggest the TM over any other manufacturer.

I believe the KJ Works to fit your requirements mind you, Its full metal, is a clone of the TM so you can use a TM threaded outerbarrel for a silencer and im pretty sure the Trademarks are pretty accurate. Its also not meant to be a bad runner either.

Every time Ive used my TM, people have commented on how much range it has, it was up there with the AEG's - but its not surprising considering TM's hop

I can also vouch for the TM. you won't be disapointed, having directly compared it to a friends KJW the TM wins hands down in every aspect

Re: Which P226?

The TM P226, even though its not full metal, is such a solid build and when compared to a KJ full metal 229 the TM felt a higher quality, more realistic, no rattles and the same with the GBB, its very crisp!!

Guarder metal kits are available for the TM if you want to upgrade at a later date.
These are very nice, you can get metal threaded barrels also.
Depends on budget as that lot will be more than double the KJW one.

Just spent £320 on a fully upgraded/tuned, oldschool (non-railed) TM P226 + Guarder/PGC metal Kit. Hope it was worth it. Certainly looks the bollox! :D Some testing to be done...

Kj works if you want full metal.

Had one for ages granted it didnt get used too often as it was a backup, but i did use it for a pistols only game not long ago and it never let me down all day, and believe me i put some rounds through it that day.
And it is fully TM compatible.

Had a KSC full metal one prior to that a long time ago and it was pants feed problems mags leaking out of the box and the slide cracked after about 200 rounds.

Stock ones are pretty poor. A bit of fiddling though and a better slide and they're great.

Re: Which P226?

I got a KJ 226 a few months back. Haven't really used it too much, but its been ok, fires well, haven't really used it too much in the cold though. However I've stuck a plastic TM slide on it to improve performance (bit of a tight fit and a tiny bit of filing was required).

There are no trades on the KJ model, so if thats a deal breaker then go for the TM. I don't think having a full metal version is a big deal to be honest. Yes it's a nicer feel and sounds more realistic, but for the sake of a bit of metal you're going to get a slightly better quality gun, more gas efficient and with trades.

They'll always be mixed opinions but looking at the above posts the advice seems to be leaning towards the TM version. I would've probably gone TM myself, only a KJ one came up at a fairly decent price. That said though I am happy with my KJ 226 and don't regret buying it. Once I've dont my upgrades it'll be a really good pistol that'll hopefully perform well all year round.

TM. I got an abs one ,upgraded it gave it a metal kit .Just recently bought another upgraded it but kept it abs for winter usage .Left it out in the snow the other night at -8 and although it was a reduced power it still emptied the mag .Can't beat TM abs.

Re: Which P226?

I've got a KWA PTP version, haven't used in that much in anger yet but it certainly looks and feels the part for me.

Re: Which P226?

I use the TM. Its had some internal upgrades in the way of a H nub hop and a Laylax Dyna piston head, it shoots further than most AEGs. Accurate too with stock barrel!

Re: Which P226?

TM - Mine is great. It may be ABS but is very chunky and works a treat in the cold. I put up a thread last week about mag compatibility and loads of people said the TM mags were the best (Zero One were out of stock of the black ones - I ended up buying a TM chrome one!!).
