I have the TM 1911, they have great range, it outranges my CQB and it is reliable and accurate. I would reconmend you get a extra mag, when your shooting consitantly it gets cold fast. Onto the 1911, I have had it since july or so, it has seen around 6 cans of green gas, it works fine. The only problem i had was i messed with the hopup, but i easily fixed that. Even though it is plastic it lasts and lasts, I just have not used it because cold + green gas don't mix. When i chroned it, it shot at 300fps consistantly.
