now before you all get excited. it isn't thee 1911's but an EXTREMELY overpriced AS dragon pistol...

Is redwolf out of there freaking minds

[Spedz]

Not really seeming it's by Clarence Lai.

[JustAnotherSofter]

What the hell? Almost $3,000 for a pistol?!

[Kov]

Holy ****

If anyone gets that pistol for airsoft, they should realy invest in something like the stockmarket instead. What a waste of cash.

[El_Hombre]

Alright, while I acknowledge that Clarence Lai is EXTREMELY skilled, I still cannot make sense of that price. That's just...insane.

[AznDVL]

From the pictures, it looks like the metal isnt very uniform/even... The chrome is really messy on the slide IMO.

Ill stick with my WE Dragon for now...

[Spedz]

Bless. If I had the money I'd buy it. On a side note though El Hombre's right.....Unless its made out of stell like his M92 was.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I think I am going to go hang myself, night.

[Spedz]

Note: Look at my edit ; ) and El Hombre's post. I do beleve now the Mr Lai is actually using his reputation that preceedes him to gain an extra few dollars.

[Maruta]

I'd rather save the money for something more important, like, I dunno, college, or my own house.
Cheers.

CL is good, but i dunno if 3000$ worth of good

funny thing is, when you do pull it out, most people will think its a 100$ gun at first sight

oh the ironing

[Death By Cadbury]

Id buy escort mp5s for my brother, dad, and best friend before Id buy one of those.

I think the problem here is that there is essentially no information justifying the price. They say its been upgraded by CL (remember people, he's not a deity.) but they dont list what ANY of the actual upgrades are. Ooooooohhhh, 360 on red. My modded kj g27 does significantly more than that with propane, does that mean I can sell it for as much as a used car?

AND Id agree with the people above who said a $3,000 pistol should have a better finish than that.


this gun = naff

I just saw that...Even CL can't polish a turd.

[azz]

Ha, it says you've got to pull back the hammer when putting a mag in so you dont bend the firing pin.

That to me does not sound like a well designed custom gun.

[Wege]

meh.. I would not touch it...

[snowman]

For 3 grand, I'd HOPE it's not a WE.

There's been a VERY expensive (Steel, I think) Dragon kit for a WA SVI for years, so I expect that's the basis of this gun.

Interesting, though, how many of you can judge its value and quality just from a few photos

If it IS a WE, though -

Cheers.

PS thought I should just make it clear, though, that I'd NEVER pay $3000 for anything airsoft!

[n00b3r]

Well Snowman, if you add up the price of all your pistols and such wouldn't it exceed at least twice that amount?

[snowman]

No, it wouldn't actually (I do keep track of what I've spent - Sad, eh ), although the value of all I've reviewed, undoubtedly, would.

Few of the pistols I've reviewed stay in my collection long though, so the value at any time is WAY below that...

Although, I REALLY meant I wouldn't spend that much on a single item.

Oh, and RW have updated their description, it's NOT a WE.

Cheers

ah well- sad thing is that there ARE people in the world who'd spend that sort of money on a single airsoft pistol. its incredible but true...

personally, if I had a spare three thousand dollars knocking about gathering dust, and I had no charitable bone in my body (or, heaven forbid, I made so much money that I could give significantly to good causes and STILL have three grand left over) I'd buy a couple of miniguns and be the terror of every airsoft game I played

but on a pistol? even for a full steel, CL custom Western Arms? just spend it on a real gun!

its not like its going a-skirmishing with you- not sure they even make a holster good enough to hold a three pony pistol

[sadigh]

It weighs 1,180 grams!
