And here’s the TM version of the IMI Desert Eagle, minus the 10in barrel. It is a normally looking gun, but with insane performance. The gun is simply beautiful. It’s huge, heavy and probably one of the most powerful guns out there. Again you have a color option – all black or all silver. Both look amazing. Its external metal parts are just the trigger, hammer, safeties and sights but a lot of the internals are also pretty solid and metal. The gun is really heavy, but also extremely well balanced as the weight is spread around the entire gun and not concentrated in the magazine (as with many of the other guns out there). Unlike the SIIS version the grips of the TM Desert Eagle are slightly rubberised and feel really good. What’s most impressive about this pistol is its kick. You’ll simply gonna love it. The gun is as powerful as it gets. It’s also very reliable and efficient. See the characteristics about it:

pecification:
Lenght: 270 mm
Magazine: 27+1 rds
Hop Up: Adjustable
Barrel Lenght: 135 mm
Gas: HFC 134a
Firing Mode: Semi
Gas Blowback
Weight: 1100.00

There’s just one thing that ruins the perfect score for this gun – the so usual for TM seams. The seams extend all the way from the underside of the frame down the trigger guard and down the front of the grip. This really ruins the entire impression, but because of the performance the gun really deserves consideration. One more thing you should know is that the powerful kick usually produces less accuracy. It just throws your aim off, requiring realignment. The price you can find the gun for is about $150. There are cheaper versions, but if you really want the best you should go for this one.

Sig P226 is the sidearm of the special forces U.S.Navy Seals. When Tokyo Marui released the replica of this high performing pistol the interest for it was amazing. And there is a reason for that. The gun undeniably looks and feels great. The gun feels solid when you hold it. It’s reasonably heavy and balances well in the hand. Most of the gun is plastic, but some of the controls (mag release, trigger, takedown lever and hammer, at least) are metal. There is a standard sized rail under the front of the frame, allowing those who want to to add torches or lasers. The sights are very good to use, they’re equipped with large white dots and both front and rear are dovetailed in. Inside, the gun looks pretty solidly made and the only thing that you may worry about is the plastic slide rails – they may not last long because of the metal slide. Anyway there are plenty of spare and upgrade parts for this gun so whenever you need them you can be sure they’re available. Here’re some specifications about this gun:

System: Gas Blow Back w/ Hop Up
Power Source: HFC 134A
Built Material: ABS Plastic
Magazine Capacity: 25+1
Length: 196mm
Barrel Length: 93mm
Weight: 797g

People usually acknowledge the TM guns for how they perform and not so much for how they look. The SIG Sauer P226 lives up to that reputation. It performs really well – shoots accurately and with high efficiency level. It’s also very consistent. It shoots pretty well on 134a, but as with most guns will perform better if more powerful gassed are used. Field stripping the gun is remarkably simple – take the magazine out and push the disassembly lever down. Push the slide and barrel assembly forward off the frame and then remove the barrel assembly from the slide. Overall this is one practical and attractive gun to have. The price is around $160 I and I can’t say it’s pricy for the performance you’re getting from this gun. I’m sure you’ll like it very much once you have it, but yet again the decision is all yours.

In 2005, to celebrate their 10th anniversary, KSC launched a new series of STI’s. These were a 4.3″ Sea Hawk, a V ported 5.5″ Eagle and the one to be reviewed – the 5.5″ Eagle Hybrid. When you first see the gun, you can’t deny it’s a beautifully looking piece of work. The fit and finish is excellent. The metal parts (polished outer barrel, hammer, grip safety and thumb safety, plus black finished mag release, recoil rod, slide lock, trigger and sights) look amazing and the silver paint is extremely evenly applied. There are no visible seams anywhere, except on the plastic grips, but even there, they are very faint. The blue/purple grips may not be to everyone’s taste, but they are comfortable in the hand and feature STI logos moulded into them. Performance-wise the gun is excellent – it’s very efficient and accurate. Mind that you’ll get better results using gasses more powerful than 134a. Taking down the gun is easy and I’m sure you won’t have any problems with that. Cleaning and maintenance are also easy. Here’s the basic info about it:

System: Gas Blow Back
Built Material: ABS Plastic
Magazine Capacity: 24+1
Weight: 948g

Overall, the KSC STi looks and feels great. It performs perfectly and if you like the way it looks you should absolutely go for it. The one thing you should mind before getting the gun is the unavailability of spare and upgrade parts. Why are they so important? As I said you’ll get greater performance using more powerful gasses (like Green Gas), but you know those gasses tend to damage the gun easily, so if you get stuck without spares in a while the gun will become useless. Using the 134a will spare you those problems. The price is about $190, which is not cheap, but the STi 5.5 Eagle Hybrid definitely deserves it. In the end it’s all up to you.

The Baretta M92FS Tactical Elite by WA is one extremely nice looking gun – mainly black with a silver barrel, there’s no way you won’t fall for its looks. Like all of Western Arms’ Berettas, the Elite feels very solid and heavy in the hand. The gun is mostly made of a hard ABS plastic, but the trigger, hammer, slide lock, recoil rod and takedown lever are all metal.
The grips are nicely made and feature vertical ribs front and back to provide a secure grip. The barrel is also well finished. It’s plastic, but it’s made to look like stainless steel and does not seem to wear noticeably from the action of the slide. The magazine features a metal buffer at the base and holds 26 rounds. Here’s the common info:

Built Material – ABS
Magazine Capacity – 25+1 ( 6mm )
Length – 211mm
Barrel Length – /mm
Weight – 930g
System – Gas Blow Back / Hop-Up / R-Type Magazine

About the performance – this is one very powerful gun, proving to be just as efficient. When it comes to accuracy though – I’ve seen better. It doesn’t really spell disaster, but there sure is place for improvement. Accuracy is pretty much the Tactical Elite’s only downside. Taking it down and maintaining it is an easy job. Still for the money it goes – $170 – $230 (depending on the place you’re getting it) I’m sure you can find something better. It’s a beautiful Baretta, yes, but aren’t they all.
