Socom Gear Limited Edition "Black Lagoon" M9 Sword Cutlass Airsoft GBB Gas Blowback Pistol

"Just received mine a few days ago, and felt I should point out the problems I had. First off, I'm pleased with this, so don't take this the wrong way. It's heavy; nearly as heavy as a KJW M9, so you know it's got some nice heft to it. It sounds beautiful; racking the slide, slamming a new magazine home, even just pulling back the hammer. It's a beautiful looking gun.

Now the downsides. The Jolly Roger emblem on the grip is held in by glued in pins, and one of the pin holes on mine was not properly drilled out, so I had to re-drill and reseat it. Not a hard job, took me longer to find the drill than to fix the grip.

I, er, hadn't counted on the length. Folks, if you're planning to put this in a SERPA holster, you can forget it. The slide is at least a half inch longer than a base Beretta, so the only way to fit it in a SERPA is with the slide locked back.

I'm also having a problem with a grinding hammer spring, which I'll probably need to replace.

Compatible silver M9 mags, not easy to find.

One last tip, before firing the gun, oil it. Mine came bone dry, and I haven't gotten around to treating (or firing) it yet.

"The New CQB Master Full Metal Silver Sword is almost a true work of art. Overall, the gun is well balanced and gives the user a rewarding feeling when using it. The gun may be one of the best airsoft pistols in production, but it has 1 major flaw, and 2 minor cosmetic ones.

The first minor flaw is that it uses black screws instead of silver ones like in the anime. This does not hinder performance, but for a product that is supposed to be a replica, I am amazed that this was overlooked.
The second minor flaw is that the ivory grips are made of a cheap feeling plastic. On the up side, it is the only cheap part of the gun.

Now the major flaw, the pistol uses so much gas with each shot that it will run out of gas before it runs out of shots. That's right, you can not empty the magazine without having to top off. I found on average that the pistol will shoot 18 shots and then be out. I have had the opportunity to test this on 2 of them and it holds true on both.

Other than these three points, I find the pistols to be truly great. The other reviews have already pointed out many of the great features so i am just adding my experience with this pistol. It is a great product, but not the best airsoft pistol. Although it may be the most fun!
