    Hey I'm getting a new pistol soon and was wondering what you would recommend.I have about €180 to spend and am looking for a higher end brand like TM or KSC/KWA.I was considering the TM 5-7 but from what I've heard the grip is huge and I have small hands.Thanks

    Where are you based Osmosis? I'll be out in Redbarn next Sunday (I think), and I usually have my 5-7 with me. You're more than welcome to have a go, and see what you think. The reason I say that is the 5-7 is a large-gripped pistol...but that's not actually a problem. In fact it makes it much more comfortable. I don't have big hands either.

    Pistol wise...there is a LOT of choice, but I find pistols are so much more about looks than performance. What style do you want etc. Then there's power source preference, then performance, then manufacturer. At every step of the way you lose choice.

    My favourite pistols are:
    - KJW M9A1 Co2 (Shoots straight, reliable, Co2 Powered for good recoil)
    - TM Five-SeveN Green Gas (Laser beam straight, ultra reliable, awesome look)
    - TM PX-4 (Awesome. Not as accurate as the Five-SeveN, but still better than most)
    - KWC Taurus 24/7 (Shoots straight, NBB, reliable - above all else, reliable)

    The 24/7 is the least accurate of the lot, but probably the most reliable. The Five-SeveN is the most accurate, followed by the PX4, then the KJW M9. It all depends on what you're looking for.

    So...what ARE you looking for? :)

    I haven't been up to HRTA yet, although I've been meaning to. I'll see what the boss says (the girlfriend), and I'll let you know where we decide.

    I've not used a TM Glock, so haven't a clue about performance out of 'em
