Glock 17 vs hi-capa 5.1

5.1 mags look awful though. 4.3 mags in a 5.1 all the way.
I agree. For a mere two or three bbs fewer, I would say the 4.3 mags are a better option.

The only way to make the 5.1 mags look OK is to half cover them with a custom magwell.

Not really a solution if you don't like magwells.

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
I'm a bit surprised to hear you say that. I thought there were several known weak points in the TM Glock.

With the hi capa, as with all TMs it seems to be just the plastic slide. 

The Gold Match is a great pistol by all accounts but I would get the regular 5.1. When funds allow buy an on offer Staccato slide, 120% recoil spring and enhanced nozzle from Mike Cribbs for only £77 and you'll have a great gun. 

Or just order the gun from him and ask him to fit the parts for you. 

I should point out that I do not know Mike personally, have no connection with him or his business, other than as a past customer, and benefit in no way whatsoever from recommending his services.

I have two hi capas - one he modified for me, and one I bought the parts for and modified myself. I have eight pistols including four WE Glocks and two stock plastic TMs, all of which I love, but these two are the best. I do love Glocks, but for me, hi capas feel better in my hand. And have better triggers.
