KJW M9 Elite Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol

"I had a WE M9 to compare this to, which was nice.
The Vertec grip makes it more friendly for those with smaller hands (I have large hands, so I added a cheap set of fake rubber grips on it)
Ordered two WE stainless mags as spares, they hold one extra bb and are slightly easier to load than the KJW OEM mag due to a less hardcore spring. The KJW mag seems to be more gas efficient, however... Need more trigger time.

Pistol is accurate, more consistent than the WE. Ran 5 WE mags and the KJW mag through it in rapid succession, no issues whatsoever.
Paint is not as bad as the reviews and photos lead you to believe. Gun operates very smoothly, whereas the WE model is more notchy feeling. The WE M9 feels colder to the touch, is louder and more "clinky" sounding as opposed to more of a dull clack with this one, which is probably a result of the thicker paint and lack of zinc alloy...

Compared to the 80$ WE, you don't get much gain in performance, but the smoothness in which this gun operates, build quality and unique look on the field make it worth it.

Only flaws are that the red tip is painted onto the barrel, and that the barrel is a standard length - not Elite/flush with the slide. Mag release is ugly and lacking in finish, could probably use a stronger recoil spring, but performance is more than adequate out of the box. Recommend .25 Bbs.

"i had to rewrite this three times already so ill be brief this time, hopup is easily accessible (comes with hexscrew), looks cool and is unique, comes with speedloader that works, works with green gas and propane (with the mag given) you can buy a co2 mag. good price for a gas blowback, its on the lower end of the price range.
