Can you tell me if you upgraded from a metal slide/barrel or a plastic/slide barrel? Not sure why reliability would be shit though as I chose the KSC Glock because I heard that it was solid from the start stock (metal slide version of course). I chose it over the TM model because I heard TM's don't work well with propane and crack in the frame.
Mine was plastic to metal, the shit reliability came from the weaker recoil spring with the now much heavier slide. A kingarms replacement/upgraded one is like $25 on airsoftparts.

The issue was i had to keep pushing the slide forward with my thumb until I got the heavier spring for it. Your's MAY not need it but if your recoil spring guide is plastic like mine was i'd advise the kingarms replacement anyways as it's all metal.
