All that said, however, concealed carry is more of an art form than a science, and the size of your gun is only one factor in being able to conceal it well. Where you carry it, and what kind of holster you use, can make all the difference. In addition, your choice of clothing can really affect concealment. I also have built Govt/1911 pistols that competed on the National level in IpSC, with my favorite match pistol digesting an estimated 30,000 rds of .45 ACP, with no major problems. A PROPERLY built 1911/Govt type pistol can be as reliable as any other mechanical object. But, any 1911/Govt pistol, out of the box, without professional tuning, can be an unreliable disaster. When it comes to reliability with the 1911 platform, the devil is in the details. TANGO DOWN AIRSOFT LTD is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Social Money Ltd, t/a Payl8r.

In reality, the difference in weight between the two guns is so small as to be impossible to feel for the majority of users, and the same goes for the recoil. Always keep gas in your magazines to ensure the seals remain inflated. This prevents leaking magazines. Your magazines do not need to be full of Gas to keep them healthy. We also recommend use of "Abbey Predator Maintenance Gas 270ml"whilst your magazines are being stored to keep them in top condition. The WE EU17 Gen 5 can also accept Co2 Magazine which will provide a consistent operation in any weather.Suggested limits are based on Joulage Limit rules used at Halo Mill: Proving Grounds, and is the equivalent of 400fps, using 0.20g BB resulting in an upper limit of 1.49j. Velocity For this reason, I’m tempted to suggest that the people who feel a difference between the two guns in this regard are simply imagining it. Reliability
However, in my opinion, this two-round difference means very little for practical purposes. There are some who would say that, in a self-defense situation, you can never have too many rounds in the magazine. Both weapons continue to develop, with the most recent models being the Gen 4 series. These are slightly smaller than their Gen 3 predecessors, though in all other respects pretty much the same. Rail Framed Design is suitable for Tactical Flashlight & Laser Sight Attachment. Disassembly is just like the genuine real steel version. I spent over a decade as a competitor in IpSC, and also as a licensed gunsmith specialising in building PRACTICAL pistols. I worked on and competed with mostly 1911/Govt types. During that time, with experience on around 300 1911/Govt pistols, and many tens of thousands of .45 ACP loads fired, I have LITERALLY seen EVERY SINGLE PART of a 1911 pistol break or fall off.

The reason for this is that a gun’s mechanical accuracy is generally less of a factor than how experienced you are using it. Face it, the half-inch difference between the barrels on the two guns is tiny in comparison to the skill of the person shooting it. As a former IpSC competitor, I spent over a decade competing with truly PRACTICAL pistols. I made it into B class, and shot the Canadian IpSC National Championships twice with a customised DETONICS Combat Master. The Detonics Combat Master was my choice as THE BEST PRACTICAL PISTOL available at the time. I have owned three of these little jewels, as well as a few custom built clones using a Randall LeMay SS frame and a Detonics CM slide. If you are looking for a handgun for concealed carry, but one that also handles like a full-size pistol, the 19 is a great gun. The half-inch smaller frame makes concealing it just that little bit easier, without affecting the way it handles. Though my preference is for the 19, I have no doubt that the long and passionate stand-off between these two guns will continue for quite some time. Recommended Reading I imagine these are the same people who, in that situation, will fire off their whole magazine in two seconds, and maybe hit once. It makes no sense to design your self-defense strategy around how many times you are going to miss.
if you consider GOOD HITS as part of the reliability equation, then for me the G19 was the optimum reliable choice. In addition, when using extended length magazines in the shorter grips of the G26 and G19, the magazines may not be supported adequately, so failures to feed are more likely. This is worse if the extended magazine touches something during firing, like a barricade or window frame. For outdoors excursions in Grizzly bear territory, I carried a Stainless Steel RANDALL Govt in .45 SUPER, with a 6″ ramped and coned barrel. It threw 180 gr hard cast lead .45 Bullets out at 1400 fps, and 230 gr JFP at 1200 fps.
the only breakages I recall were the plastic sights, a slide stop, and recoil spring/guide rod issues. And reliability, out of the box, was much better than with the average untuned 1911/Govt.
