Surprise release, very low key I'm assuming. Looks to be TM clone, said to be selling for $100-110.

I see no reason to get one, especially when you know a TM for $40-50 more is going to last you a billion lifetimes.

Not that surprising if you follow TW sites....

WE in the GBBR market is mainstream(even though I think reliability is still suspect), their pistols are still just iffy period...

Probably a trifle unfair to judge this on a range of pistols that are several years old now.

Im still confused as to whether the clone px4 is WE or not. If it is though, its a step in the right direction. Still have a soft spot for there old 1911a1 though.

Lesson learned with the WE-based Noveske N4. Wasted good money when I could have bought two TM pistols with leftover cash for spare mags.

the px4 is made in the same factory as WE and KJW they are all made by the same parent company

a worrying collection of 'authentic' and repro Nazi badges and other paraphenalia. Felt like i was in Mel Gibson's house, all it needed was a few posters of himself and a few other questionable things and it could have been.

Can you share us the source for your information? I'm very interested as to where you got that info since that's breaking news for everyone here I believe :P

Lol. GTFO, TM aren't sharing their production with WE and KJW.

They aren't even based in the same countries :P

no no you need to re read that statement

the PX4 (as in 3PX4) is made by WE

I don't know if KJW and WE use safe factory, I doubt it as their material and quality are not the same.

The clone PX4 started out typically being branded as H.K. H.K. as a brand name, not the place. There were also some rumors that it was being made in Taiwan and not in mainland China. (See discussion early on in original thread on the clone PX4.) This matches up rather neatly with Wei Tech and KJ Works both being Taiwanese companies. The plot thickens...

as kullwarrior said its the new clone PX4s are made in the same factory as WE and KJW according to a wholesaler ive been talking to

a worrying collection of 'authentic' and repro Nazi badges and other paraphenalia. Felt like i was in Mel Gibson's house, all it needed was a few posters of himself and a few other questionable things and it could have been.

i cant see how thats true. we and kjw guns arent the same specs, made of different materials and have a few different design features between like models.

The TM man said "One day child you will look and see that the sun has risen and with it came the dawning of the TM M&P and HK45 and life will be good"
 
Attendant "But KSC and WE have already given us these things"
 
TM man slowly turns looks the attendant in the eyes and slowly but quite surely pulls the man's still beating heart out of his chest ... "we do not speak of the yapping noise that the little dog companies make"
 
 
Legit that is what was said / happened.

Its possible they came from the same shop that ultimately makes the gun, but designed differently.....I am pretty sure HTC's phone and iPhone came from the same 3rd party contracted factory, owned by the same person....doesn't mean iPhone and Android phones are the same...

I hear the WE Glock 17 lower receiver is actually a decent polymer and not ABS.

This gun will be "best gun we ever make," as James will say. But as in the reality of all WE guns will need some sort of RA-tech upgrade kit to not break.

I find that hilarious lol...most people who run WE guns in the long run eventually replace everything with RATech parts.

I think it was mentioned in another thread that WE and RATech might be in cahoots with each other, making the base gun weak as hell then forcing people to spend more money for RATech parts (if so, then WE is getting a cut of RATech's profits).

Of course that's just all conjecture.

I find it odd, to start a news thread about a product that you just want to slate, even before its released? Or have I got the wrong of the stick aznriptide859?
