Its a WE..
Get a KWA/KSC, they were pretty good back in the day.

i have heard good and bad opinions about WE even before i bought mine.. so basing this off of my own personal handling of the gun, i have to say it shoots and handles quite nice, and at like 80 bucks with the discounts from evike its a steal hahah

I've never owned a WE, but in general I have seen KWAs and TMs outlast them.

KWAs and TMs and whatnot are great, but at $80-100 you can't beat the price.

The HK3P G17 (WE just rebrands them and is not involved in production at all) is an awesome TM clone, and arguably more bang for your buck than a KWA or TM. Steevo gives it a thumbs up; if it does break, cheap and easily available TM compatible parts will get it back up and running.

Buying an airsoft Glock is only harmful and dangerous to the sport. Glock has said don't make Glock replicas, don't sell Glock replicas, yet people do both. There are a few nice alternatives that are completely legal and safe, the KWA ATP and the Echo 1 Timberwolf.

Please, rethink this. It would be highly irresponsible of you to buy one.

Allow me to explain.

HK3P makes a Glock replica. This was illegal anyway, and they probably made it in a shed somewhere, point is they can't be hurt for it anymore than they can be for making an M1911.

A distributor buys a hundred of these Glocks. They ship them out. Glock catches wind of it, sues the crap out of them and there goes, say, Jag Precision, down the toilet.

Say, ASGI, Evike, Airsplat and Godfather Airsoft each buys 25 of these Glocks. Glock decides to continue being anti-airsoft and puts these four companies out of business.

So, now four of the biggest retailers in America have gone under. That means that a lot of supply is cut off from those that don't like to order overseas. This is definitely a problem, one that could have been avoided if people hadn't have given Glock products a market.

Is this a worst case scenario? Yes. Is it possible? Yes.

On a completely unrelated point, 1337

If Romba does buy one it is not from any of the stores you listed so it doesn't matter.

I wont by glocks because they are made by nazi Germany and if you do then you support Hitler.

If Romba does buy one its from evike because that's the only place he's seen them in stock.

You COMPLETELY missed the point there, didn't you? It doesn't matter what store, any store that finds Glock replicas popular will buy more.
