KWA

In general...

Hong Kong prices: KJW is cheaper
Canadian prices: About the same
Finish: KJW is glossy overall while KWA have powder coated metal frame (or really nice plastic ) and a semi-glossy slide
Gas Efficiency: KWA wins
Propellent option: KJW has CO2 option on almost every single of their pistol line up, KWA can use 134a effecctively while KJW have difficult time to do so.
Range: KWA slightly, (not by much)
Dimension: KWA is 1:1, while KJW may run into problem with holster (since it copy marui)
Magazine reliability: KWA is better
Overall reliability: Depends on the model

KJW they make solid guns, and spare parts are very cheap and easy to order from the official site...

I e owed the kjw, we and KWA m9, and the KWA m9 PTP beats the others hands down. My m9 is my most reliable gun. Hard kick, awesome gas efficiency, and its just a solid beast. And I know some will argue with me, but I prefer kwas hopup to we or kjws.

For an M9 the KWA M9 PTP is hard to beat. Excellent replica, great gas efficiency and from personal experience, very reliable (others who have had it longer may disagree)

Thank you to everyone that responded. Thought Id let you know I went with the Kwa M9 ptp. It is a really solid gun. With hard kick! I would recommend it to anyone looking for an M9. Thanks again!

So how do you make a KJW more efficient?

LouisZimmerman · February 8th, 2013, 00:13

Quick note on the KWA PTP: It shoots at 350+ FPS, which may be too hot for indoors (depending on the club). OTOH, the Dangerwerx valve (or the one produced by one of the members here) should drop the FPS to sub-320.

How does it make it drop the fps? Does it restrict the air flow for better efficiency?

BennyBoy · February 8th, 2013, 00:48

the valve is fatter allowing less gas to pass through

Did KWA change the design on the mag floorplate yet or is it still held on by the 2 fins?
