Why didn't I see this sooner?
I must cancel my MEU order immediately!

Whilst on the one hand this is kind of annoying - having bought a fairly stupid ammount of '29 magazines (and a second '29) - having read reviews of KJW's CO2 magazines currently available (and the rest of the topic on Arnies where this is from), I'm not that bothered.
From what I've read, it sounds like their CO2 magazines are fairly hit and miss (most of them being miss).
That said, who knows. Maybe they'll do a re-design which isn't as useless.

How can a CO2 magazine be bad? Surely mag leaks are the only issue that can ever be had with any kind of gas magazine, but with CO2 you create the seal yourself by screwing the capsule in harder.
From what I've read the CO2 seals on their 1911 series (or whatever it's actually called, they look like 1911s to me), the seals were poorly designed, which resulted in pretty bad leaks, and difficult to replace.
BUT - there is talk elsewhere that KJW have recently started re-designing the magazine seals, so hopefully they'll work better.

I had a KJW one and absolutely loved it, but the magazines are terrible. I think it's compatible with TM though, so if I were you and bought it, I'd get some TM mags.
Obviously there's also the TM Sig, but it's plastic, which writes it off in my opinion, plastic pistols feel like sh*t imo.
KWA make a very good metal one, but mags are hard to find and KSC make possibly the most realistic full metal version, with full licensed markings, but it's hard to find without importing.
The KJW is the best in my opinion, it's a good price, solid performer minus the mags, huge upgrade potential because it's a TM copy, very easy to find replacement parts if anything breaks (though I had mine 3 years and nothing broke), feels amazing, you can get a licensed version so you can have the trades etc etc.
They'll all very good to be honest, just depends on your budget and whether or not you hate plastic. KJW is the best mix of realism, price and performance though, imo.

What do you want it for, pure shooting performance or the feel/recoil?
I've just ordered the TM P226E2 because my older version TM served me very well indeed whereas the only KSC GBB I've ever bought is a total lemon that just vents mags and shoots f*****g awfully. Everyone has different experiences though.
