The main difference on the Gen 5 is that it features more rounded edges on the front, making it easier to holster and magazine changing is also easier with a thumb cut out at the lower front of the Pistol Grip. There is also the addition of an ambidextrous Slide Release, which is great news for Left Handed fans of this platform. Rail Framed Design is suitable for Tactical Flashlight & Laser Sight Attachment. Disassembly is just like the genuine real steel version.

if you consider GOOD HITS as part of the reliability equation, then for me the G19 was the optimum reliable choice.

Always keep gas in your magazines to ensure the seals remain inflated. This prevents leaking magazines. Your magazines do not need to be full of Gas to keep them healthy. We also recommend use of "Abbey Predator Maintenance Gas 270ml"whilst your magazines are being stored to keep them in top condition. I imagine these are the same people who, in that situation, will fire off their whole magazine in two seconds, and maybe hit once. It makes no sense to design your self-defense strategy around how many times you are going to miss. I also have built Govt/1911 pistols that competed on the National level in IpSC, with my favorite match pistol digesting an estimated 30,000 rds of .45 ACP, with no major problems. A PROPERLY built 1911/Govt type pistol can be as reliable as any other mechanical object. But, any 1911/Govt pistol, out of the box, without professional tuning, can be an unreliable disaster. When it comes to reliability with the 1911 platform, the devil is in the details. This is the perfect magazinefor any Airsoft skirmisher who owns a EU-Series pistol, and wants to spend more time shootingbefore having to stop to re-fill. Features

Though my preference is for the 19, I have no doubt that the long and passionate stand-off between these two guns will continue for quite some time. Recommended Reading It’s for this reason that making a direct comparison of the technical accuracy of both pistols is somewhat useless. Both are capable of far more accuracy than I (and probably you) are able to extract from them.Suggested limits are based on Joulage Limit rules used at Halo Mill: Proving Grounds, and is the equivalent of 500fps, using 0.20g BB resulting in an upper limit of 2.32j. Velocity When it comes to handguns, reliability is probably the most important criterion for me personally. So, which is more reliable — the 17 or the 19? I spent over a decade as a competitor in IpSC, and also as a licensed gunsmith specialising in building PRACTICAL pistols. I worked on and competed with mostly 1911/Govt types. During that time, with experience on around 300 1911/Govt pistols, and many tens of thousands of .45 ACP loads fired, I have LITERALLY seen EVERY SINGLE PART of a 1911 pistol break or fall off. In reality, the difference in weight between the two guns is so small as to be impossible to feel for the majority of users, and the same goes for the recoil. These differences will affect which you prefer, but only if you are particularly large or small. For most of us, though the difference in size can be felt, neither gun is too big or too small.

I also found my practice scores with a G19 were close to my scores with a G17, while my scores with the G26 were significantly poorer.For this reason, I’m tempted to suggest that the people who feel a difference between the two guns in this regard are simply imagining it. Reliability Suggested limits are based on Joulage Limit rules used Halo Mill: Proving Grounds, and is the equivalent of 350fps, using 0.20g BB resulting in an upper limit of 1.14j. Velocity The Matrix is similar to other revolver grenade launchers we have seen in the past but with a few notable improvements. The outer barrel of the Matrix is constructed from aluminium and has a threaded tip, meaning more realistic handling, though we don't think there are any suppressors for this monstrously largethread! The reason for this is that a gun’s mechanical accuracy is generally less of a factor than how experienced you are using it. Face it, the half-inch difference between the barrels on the two guns is tiny in comparison to the skill of the person shooting it.
