Yesterday my We F226 that I ordered from Sixmm arrived.Took just over a month..Opened the package and it was disassembled into its main components of slide, frame and internal trigger parts. Took it to a friend who is a gunsmith and he put it together with no issues as the layout more or less follows real firearms with a few understandable changes for airsoft mechanics, so didn't have to look up a guide. Initial testing shows very nice crisp blowback, much stronger than my friends KJ Works 1911 or the KWC P08 Luger. Out of the box accuracy is not comparable to my friends KJ Works but that was expected (KJ works are very good reliable shooters OOTB) WE Techs are usually 50/50 and benefits from a bit of tinkering and I have already put in the order for a Maple Leaf inner barrel, a 70 degree Autobot hop bucking, I key and a Maple Leaf adjustment wheel. That should get my pistol sorted and shooting very well.

The cost of the pistol and shipping came out to about Rs 12,300 and customs was Rs 1,674, so a total of almost Rs 14,000..which is much much cheaper than what sellers in India ask for these airsoft pistols. Sure there is always a slight risk that customs may seize the package but its so cheap that you can order 3 or 4 of them and even if one makes it through it will be cheaper than if we bought it locally. There are much cheaper gbb pistols out there, its just that We Tech had the p226 variant I wanted. WE's Glocks, Berettas (Version 2) and Sigs are generally held to be good for the money. Kj Works are also good, TM's are always reliable OOTB but I dont like the abs slides and the need to buy aftermarket metal slides if you want metal components. Eventually I will get the VFC p226, its supposed to have issues but I want it as a wall hanger as its quite a good replica of the real Sig p226(VFC's are usually very good at that) and I dont mind doing some modding to get it working right if need be.

Ordered it from Sixmm as my friends have been ordering from the site for a while and have had good experiences, I had ordered a few components from it earlier and all had arrived with no issues. Kolkata customs are always iffy so I have begun ordering my airsoft kit to cousins in Delhi, it arrives much faster and way less customs taxes too.

Did a quick function test with an empty mag, I mean no bbs loaded, just pressed down on the slide release so it wouldn't lock back . Definitely much better blowback than my friends KJ Works 1911, he says it's similar to his We Tech Glock 17. Will have to wait for the upgrades to come in before I try accuracy, plus I am doing some travelling right now so the followup update will probably be in November.
