everybody's got a hardon for the nineball one (but not the ACM copies). I thought I had the PDI winter one in there, but I went and looked and it's actually the stock red KJ one. it really comes down to whether or not the stars and manufacturing tolerances line up for your nozzle and piston head to seal up good.

if you have another TM/KJ/WE hicapa/1911/M9/G17/226/whatever with the (pre-PX4/XDM) screw-secured piston heads, you can swap and test them to see if you have a seal issue. at that point you could also see if your nozzle is cracked and maybe inspect the rocket valve at the same time.

is it sluggish all the time, or the usual almost-outta-gas business? with GBBs before ordering parts and whatnot, I like to suggest seeing if your green gas/propane bottle is running low. believe me, I've felt like an idiot disassembling a pistol to look for issues when I'm gassing up from an empty propane bottle.
