Is failure on the cansoft WEs inevitable, preventable... possibly overblown?
Secondly, I am very tempted to get my hands on some of these newly-imported "full metal" WE pistols, especially the hi-capa compatible ones, that have started to show up lately via the long-barrel trick... Do you think these are a decent investment at the current prices?

Do you mean Hicapa's? Or actual 1911's?
Plastic frames are fine in 1911's (TM's original design was made for plastic frame, metal rails), however plastic frames in Hicapas are not. Hicapas were never meant to have plastic frames, TM designed them with a metal frame.
