ICS BLE BM9 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol
(Color: Black / CO2)

"I cant say enough good things about this pistol. I love M9's, and own a KJW as well, and I must say that this thing is amazing by any standards. I cannot vouch for its long term performance yet, however its ICS so I have no doubt it will last a long time. Firstly, it is insanely accurate. I was consistently plinking a man sized target from about 30 meters, and at my arena, even across the field, I never felt underpowered or outranged, just straight up badass, thanks to the tightbore barrel. The gas consumption is quite good, and while my KJ needed tuning, I was able to get 2 mags off of one gas fill. Additionally, there is a sound gauge in the mag, so I know when its filled, as opposed to other mags where I'll under or overfill. The weight is solid, but this is a gun for bigger hands. I kind of bit the bullet on the price tag, but it was certainly worth it and cannot recommend this thing enough.

Pros:
Accurate
Gas efficient
Good Weight
Gas Gauge

Cons:
Expensive
Big

"This is an initial review. I wanted a KWA PTP, but this was in the boneyard.
I am glad I got it. It's a nice gun and it takes real steel grips and holsters.
The mags are easy to gas and load, and efficiency is decent. I got 60 rounds out of one fill in 70F weather.
The cycling is odd: the slide snapps back under gas pressure, but the springs are kinda soft so the return is lazy.
Accuracy with Bioval .28s was above average for a handgun. I was able to keep a 30mm group at 10m.
Range is acceptable for a handgun but i have measured yet.
I intend to use this as my only weapon in an upcoming game. When I get around to doing that, I will report what that was like.
to defend my four star rating, first I must say that very few things deserve five. What keeps this from being rated higher in my mind are as follows: the safety is just a safety, there is no Decock function. That's not the end of the world, but it would have been nice. Next, the laziness of the return cycle does not inspire confidence. Granted, the gun has not choked on me ever. it's always in the back of my mind however that I might need to tap the slide back into battery. Lastly, there is a little bit of daylight between the bottom of the slide and the top of the frame in the part that is under the barrel. Again, not the end of the world, but you won't get five stars without mimicking the real one precisely. Also, honestly, this thing is a bit light and carries its weight farther to the rear than the real one. I like this gun enough that I might attempt to make an incredibly heavy guide rod or something like that.

Overall, this is a good gun. With the current shortage of KJW and KWA offerings, this is a perfectly viable substitute. I am glad that I took a chance on it, and if you need a quality m9 right now, you should consider this one.

"Weirdly shoots full auto now after couple months of ownership

Still a pretty solid piece

Though it does have a weak slide spring so using big suppressors and tracer units is difficult for it
