I'm talking here about a pistol that will never fail, something that can be litteraly trown around, tossed around, dropped, etc. Basicaly something that wont break but that is still realistic and full meta of course. ( I'm not planning to trow my guns around)
give me your thoughts.

Tokyo Marui 1911 Series. Leave it as completely stock, plastic guns, and you will be able to beat these things senseless, but they'll keep coming back for more.
If a part does wear down or break, the Tokyo Marui 1911 and Hi-Capa series has the greatest aftermarket support on the market, with very few other platforms coming close to comparison. Anything else is a very distant second place in terms of support and ability to find replacement parts.
I've had a number of them come across my workbench that had tens of thousands of rounds put through them for cleaning/maintenance/tune up, but they were still functioning fine, despite the amount of dirt inside and general wear on them.
KSC/KWA guns are decent, but engineering-wise, they have a number of flaws. For one, their hop up rubber is extremely sensitive to the lubricants we use. Funny enough, they are highly reactive to silicone oil, and it's always been standard practice to keep a handful of backup rubbers on hand to replace them over time.
Secondly, their hop up system is not very precise. Performance wise, their groupings tend to be much larger than Tokyo Marui's. KSC/KWA guns do have very hard kicking blowback though, and are very solid built guns overall. However, aftermarket support is limited, which is one of the main reasons I would still prefer Tokyo Marui for my own personal armoury. I deal with the KWA Pro Shop a lot, and while they're a great source for getting stock parts, I find that more often than not, parts that I need are out of stock with long backorder time spans.
I do own a few KSC products, so I don't have a complete aversion to them, and like them overall. But Tokyo Marui will always be my preferred choice. As a direct comparison, the Tokyo Marui MP7 is miles ahead of the KSC/KWA version in terms of build quality, heft, material feel, accuracy, range, and blowback power.
