thanks for the info when i live in socal some of my friends would carry arms on them and a tec-9 was one of there choices. i never got to shoot one cause all there arms were illegal and not wanting to put my prints on a arm concerned me but i loved the look of the tec-9 and i had not seen a "good" airsoft tech-9 lately. moving to AZ i may get to shoot a real steel or at least hold one some day but until then id like a decent airsoft replica thanks again
