TM Hi-Capa 5.1 vs TM Night Warrior

[Greyhame888]

Hey guys, I'm looking into buying a a new pistol, and have it narrowed down to pretty much these two guns.

I'm a TM whore. Even thought they aren't full metal, I love the reliability they offer. I might turn it into a race gun, I haven't decided yet. Basically I'm asking is anyone has any experience with one, or preferably both, of them.

Oh, and before people start saying "TM is great stock but if you're upgrading it doesn't matter." I already know, they will probably stay stock for a while at least, and I MIGHT upgrade them, not sure yet.

Thanks in advance

They're basically the same gun, they just look different, and have different mags.
I would suggest getting the Hicapa since it has double stack mags. More gas capacity. 1911 mag are so skinny (low gas capacity) that sometimes people have trouble getting through an entire mag of BB's.

If you're going for something more stable and reliable in lower temperatures i'd recommend the tm hi capa 5.1. The bigger gas reservoir in the mag allows it to run smoother in colder temperatures and can finish off a mag before running out of gas. The thinner 1911 mags obviously have a much smaller gas reservoir and thus causes it to be less reliable.

You know, people bitch about never being able to get through mags all the way with the 1911 magazine design. I now run a pair of MEUs, and with both 1911 and MEU magazines, I've never gotten less than a mag and a half of BBs with one fill of gas. Ever.

I was talking about colder temperatures.
