Cons:	Heavy

Well, my KWC Co2 DE was niiiiiiice, but Co2 caps are expensive in HK.

I needed a pistol that could take Green and still be an UberHandCannonOfDeathAndUnpleasantness like my DE.

So I looked around. I had 3 critera:

1) Must be Full Metal
2) Must be Long/Big/Beefy.
3) Must be Accurate.

And lo and behold! I saw this. And at Den Trinity's low low price of $830HKD (Everywhere else sold fol $950HKD) I went out and bought one.

It comes with a snazzy aluminium carrying case, a bag of unlabelled bns of decent quality (turned out to be 0.25g) and a nice manual with english text and easy-to-understand illustrations. The manual is for the Bog Standard HFC M190, but the takedown is identical.

The Good:

Where to start?

This thing is the sechs. VEEEERY sechs.

It's the same as any other HFC m190, but the compensator just gives it that "Ohtittybiscuitshe'spointingthatatME" factor.

And it's not all needless bling either.

The Compensator actually decreases recoil to a point, as it's heavy, and hence negates the upwards recoil.

Also, the inner barrel runs through the compensator, adding another 2 inches or so to the overall length and increasing accuracy and power.

Speaking of accuracy, this thing is accurate.

Very accurate.

As an example, on the first skirmish I took this to, I was playing indoors CQB, and creeping stealthily down a corridoor, I suddenly saw a hand holding a Glock thrust round a corner, perpendicular to me at about 10m away.

I took carefull aim at the trigger finger.

Bam! Through the trigger guard into the underside of his trigger finger!

And at the 350fps this beast does on Green, that hurt. However, this was in HK summertime, at about 30 odd degrees C, so this thing is still UK-legal.

Another good thing is that the HFC m9 Mags are VERY gas effecient. I got three mags out of a two-second fill, and this thing fills quietly.

You really cannot tell it's doing anything when filling it with gas, it's so quiet, and not leaks at all.

There is also a rail built into the dustcover of the pistol, which fits a M3 perfectly.

Also, the Case is a nice touch.

The Bad:

Hmmm.

This thing, IMMIO, beats the KJW/TM/KSC M9s with it's undoubtably large penis. In the face.

It's MUCH more solid, powerfull and more accurate.

However, the trades are really, really bad. Good thing is they don't stand out, you hardly notice them at all.

Also, some don't like the rail, as only Baretta M9 elites with vertec grips have them.

In my book though, the rail's definately a plus.

I realise that the gun looks very, well, green in photographs.

IT ISN'T. IF I HAVE TO SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME ON THE FORUMS, I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH A BLUNT SPOON. Through the Internet.

EDIT: I have found out why people call it green! It's because under a strong flurescent light, it does have a greeny tinge to it, and camera flashes also have this effect.

It's actually grey. Some say "pakerised". I say it's a kind of gunmetal or titanium kind of colour.

As with all TM clones, there is no working decocker. I don't really care.

IN conclusion, this thing rocks. even more so If you have two.

Get a pair. Now.
