You can upgrade the hell out of a WE G17 as well. Not sure why it has to be a TM that can only be upgraded.

All TM after market parts have all fit on my HK3/WE G17 perfectly fine.
It is the G18C that limits you to a few upper parts... and even then that gun you can kit that gun out too.

As for performance a HK3/WE performance perfectly fine out of the box. My personal experience the WE G18C performance better in terms of felt recoil feedback, cycling and gas consumption due to the bigger piston.

Not sure why people have this perception that non stock parts are better than stocked parts. The more you start mismatching parts and putting in different parts from different brands the more you risk causing more problems and hinder performance. Just leave it be.

Only upgrades I've ever had to make for "performance" is the hop up rubber swap that is it. Cost me 15$ for a maple leaf rubber. Of course I swapped out the barrel for a tight-bore and noticed very little performance over the stock barrel. New barrel is like 40$ upgrade. I couldn't tell the difference at all.

Do the math and its a no brainer that HK3/WE is the better option.

One more thing to add: G18C is pretty much just as reliable as a G17. I've said this before and I'll say it again my Primary Side Arm first HK3/WE Glock 18C has been running for over 4 seasons now without any major issues.

Anyone who has worked on both the G18C and G17 will tell you there isn't much more moving parts in the G18C so nothing to really worry about there in terms of malfunctions. As a matter of fact the G18C does not suffer the same trigger bar problem as the G17. I've never had this issue ever with my G17 but have read others mention it before.
