ARMY Kimber R28 1911 inquiry

Reaver_RRTS · September 11th, 2013, 20:35

Not quite the same as the one I'm looking at has a rail under the barrel and isn't quite as roughed up

either way, I intend to upgrade them a bit. How far does your gun fire? How's the accuracy? I know you upgraded yours but it'll give me a rough idea what I'll be dealing with.

Is the $125 pistol in Canada? If not, forget about it.

Reaver_RRTS · September 11th, 2013, 20:52

What's wrong with it? Tokio Marui compatible so isn't that normally a good thing?...
Edit: or am I reading your message wrong?

I have an Army MEU. Around 150$ it's clearly worth it, IMHO. Replace the nozzle, teflon tape the barrel/hopup junction, get yourself TM mags and you've got a nice full metal pistol for a very affordable price.

The few pieces I had to replace in the years of owning it were all drop-in from TM without any issue whatsoever. Mags were okay, out of 4 I've got 3 that still work with only an oring replacement and occasional valve disassembly to soak the orings inside them. 4th would need a new fill valve. I prefer Army over KJW, but KWA/KSC are better.

Just keep in mind that with the metal slide, it won't shoot as many BBs out of a gas charge as a platic slide gun would.

Reaver_RRTS · September 11th, 2013, 21:02

Oh good, so it IS a decent gun. That's a relief lol. For 125, it's the best deal I've ever seen for a metal pistol... I got the HK px4 and paid almost 300 for it before realizing the trigger spring is a POS and there is no replacement parts or aftermarket parts for the damned thing -_-

Reaver go for it man and TY for the PM. For me personally my reason for getting it is because I want a wall hanger/indoor plinker not something that shoots like a laser outdoors. If you wanted that you'd probably get a TM Mk.23 SOCOM though. If you want a plinker or secondary for outdoor great but keep in mind like others said due to the weight of the metal slide you won't get as good efficiency from the Army (but even a TM with a metal slide kit has the same problem) and may not be able to shoot your full mag.

Keep in mind that the only thing that is truly 100% TM compatible is the original TM and I believe aftermarket companies make their upgrade parts based on TM but "clones" (whether it's G&P or VFC or CYMA or CA or whatever) are still "clones" and may not always play well with each other different company.

I'm making this up here but for example sure ABC airsoft company might be high quality and "TM compatible" but XYZ upgrade company who makes an upgrade part for TM may not play well with ABC because they designed their tolerances for the TM.

Also don't mix upgrade parts with different brands, they may not play well with each other. For example I believe if you get a Prommy piston you need to get a prommy gearset as well, other pistons/gears will shred.

Reaver_RRTS · September 11th, 2013, 21:29

Any help and suggestions are appreciated, and no problem, L473ncy, it's a pleasure to help others looking for items they want, particularly when they say they haven't found one and I'm looking at it on my screen lmao. And I don't need laser accuracy, it's a sidearm after all, but if I can get like 7" - 8" spread at about 125' feet then I'd be more than happy you know? I know that it's a combination between bb weight and quality, hop up unit, bucking and barrel... so yeah lol. I'm buying it, just not yet lol. but soon, before it goes out of stock....

The biggest beef for me is the fact that you can't half-cock the factory hammer. Functionally this isn't really an issue but the side-to-side slide slop is a bit annoying.

huang · September 12th, 2013, 11:36

The special prices will last till 27th for the ARMY products. Be quick!

Reaver_RRTS · September 12th, 2013, 13:44

Crap! I better get on it then... Save a R28 for me Huang! I will be buying it very soon!

Yes but no guarantee on timeframe. I will put it in my next Army order.

jordan7831 · September 13th, 2013, 00:56

I will very likely buy one of them if you can get some of them in. I bet a lot of people would pick that up too. Those trademarks are oh so sweet.
