SOLD! Hope I'm now over my "I wanna check out KJW guns" syndrome.
The STTI/KJW Mk23 and USP Tactical
The STTI/KJW Mk23 NBB is a copy of the TM MK23 NBB I already own. This is yet another curiosity in the quality and performance of a KJW gun compared to the usual Japanese mfg guns I usually buy.
First impressions… The quality is very "rough" compared to the TM. The plastic slide is made of Blaze Orange plastic, painted black… And there are NO trades at all on the gun. Trigger pull is even heavier then the TM and it feels like theres grains of sand in the action.
The silencer which is not a silencer at all but an inner barrel extender. You get some added fps when attached. See below for results. But not the ultra quiet shot as you would with the TM MK23.? The barrel extension is all plastic including the threads, so over time this may be an issue.? And as we all know, higher FPS doesn't equal better accuracy.
The STTI/KJW Mk23 Silencer Attached
But at $70.00 is it that good of a deal? Considering I bought a TM MK23 by itself from Dentrinity (They had a deal where you could buy the gun w/o silencer and LAM for $58.00 + Int'l Shipping),?I would have to?say no on the STTI/KJW.
This should be the last of my "I wonder if KJW is any good" comparisons.
