Well.. your two best choices would be a KSC G19 (not C.. there is no company to my knowledge that makes a compensated glock 19 from the factory, altough aftermarket slides and barrels are available, or a homemade version too.) or the TM P226.

I've tried both guns, and owned a Glock 19 myself from KSC with an upgraded metal slide and barrel and recoil kit from guarder and to be honost, it had to be quite possibly one of the best gbb's I have used to date.

The TM P226 on the other hand is a joy to shoot. I have never owned one but having used one several times for plinking and skirmishing I can say that its an awesome gbb as well. On propane, she shoots hard and straight just like my glock did, with a metal slide and upgraded recoil spring, I'm sure this could be one of the best gbb's on the market.


Its a tough call, your asking for us to tell you whats a good gbb, but the fact of the matter is, you have asked about two of the best guns on the market. If I was to say right now, the top three gbb's that most vet. players will recommend easily, your gonna always hear: KSC Glock 19, TM Hi-Capa 5.1, and TM P226. For some reason they just seem to shine in a large market in terms of price, performance and reliability.

I can tell you this much, I owned several berettas, from KJW and Marui and my glock 19 out shoot, out performed, and had better reliability then my berettas ever did.

So I would say hell, just get what you like the looks of, a marui p226 will perform awesome just like a KSC glock 19.

One thing to be aware of, these are both all plastic pistols and plastic slides will degrade, regardless of types of gases used, propane however will speed up this process and a metal slide and barrel is a very good solution in terms of aesthetics and reliability. They won't fail the same as a plastic slide will (can crack or slide release can wear off... etc).

So anyways, thats my jumble of thoughts. Enjoy decyphering. :P
