Glock 17 vs hi-capa 5.1

[Rups]

Okay guys. Im done. I choosed the tokyo marui. I really like the glock but is the hi capa better?

I want sth that shoots long and is accurate.

Unmodified, buy a hi-capa Gold Match and you’re done

Glock is more robust, and more realistic, hi-capa is a better gun for shooting.

Personally, I dislike Hi-Capas, love Glocks, but my main pistol is a TM FNX, easily the best unmodified pistol there is available

Glock is lighter. I love both my G18 & Gold Match equally.

The Gen 3 Glock 17 is slightly dated at this point, so if you're obsessed with peak performance (no doubt your livelihood depends on nano second reaction differential and the extra 37cm one may shoot), then either wait for the Gen. 4 or get a Gold Match Hi Capa.

I'd say hk45 tbh.... more comfy and wieldly than both imo.

Haha, don't confuse things. It's taken three threads on the same query to get to this point.

Then a hicapa is 100% the choice. More bbs in mag, less barrel tilt, more mods.

5.1 mags look awful though. 4.3 mags in a 5.1 all the way.

Save some cash and get the standard tm 5.1 hi capa, no need to go with the gold match, AMAZING pistols, you will love it straight out the box and if you wish to add a tracer or moderator you can get a outer barrel etc etc

Thank you guys. I really like the glock feel and look too but if the hi-capa is better ill get the hi capa because they are the same price too (117£)

If you like the look of the glock and buy a cappa, prepare to covet thy neighbours glock in the safe zone in the future.... eventually i forsee you  buying one of them aswell if the looks continue to tempt.... 

Thus starting the decent into the deadly (for your bank account) c word..... collection

There is no better. They are both great and both will serve you extremely well. Buy the one YOU like more. Nobody is withholding a secret about which is better from you.

I bought a G17 after 3 Hi-cappa's. it doesn't fit the hand properly, nowhere near as accurate out of the box and generally not a scratch on a 5.1, and that trigger! yuk,

I LOVE hi capas and the tm is the best of the best, you honestly wont be disappointed, great range and accuracy, straight out the box, it can easily be improved as well, all you really need is a tight bore barrel and if you are wanting to add a tracer unit get either a sas 9 ball kit or a threaded outer barrel, that's all you really need.

Ive added a metal slide to mine also but got someone in my local club who is a genius with hi capas to fit it for me as the frame needs filing to fit a metal slide, its not needed though, will run on green gas great and perform amazing.

Heres a pic of mine

Hicapas and Glock’s are quite different animals ergonomically.
 

If you get the chance try the following with each pistol: With the pistol held down at your side look at a target at normal target range. Then close your eyes and bring the pistol up into the aim pointing at the target. Then open your eyes and without moving anything check out the sight picture with the pistol. The best weapon ergonomically will be the one that naturally gives you the best sight picture on the target. Then choose that one as ergonomics is something you can’t really change on a pistol.

Out of the box the High Capa is probably the better weapon, but if the grip angle is wrong for you or the height of the sights above the bore don’t work for you these are much harder to fix (basically you have to spend a lot of time retraining muscle memory) than the accuracy or hop or whatever, which is just a matter of buying and fitting bits to get the performance you want.

Obviously this is from the perspective of someone who’s airsoft hobby focusses heavily on timed practical shooting and therefore weapon transition times and first shot time and target transition time and accuracy are really important.

Hi so ive heard green gas is gonna break tokyo marui pistol fast af and i wanted to know how fast does a hi capa 5.1 or g17 last in my country where its like 18-25° celcius in the summer?

Thanks

 

[Skara]

Mate, there is no need to post 5 threads

you can do it all in one

Anyway, no it's not going to break. But, if you have access to different gases (say duster and green gas) you should use the lowest pressure one (134a/duster/nuprol 1.0) during summer, green gas/np 2.0 in autumn/winter/spring.

You've already been told it'll be fine by several people on one of your previous threads. I don't mean this offensively but are you all ok, is there something we should know?

Question on gas merged with this topic.

From experience, green gas will probably break a TM Gold Match slide eventually. Anything else, zero, problems in the U.K.
