KWA M9 PTP




First Impressions-
The KWA M9 Profesional Training Pistol, otherwise known as the M9 PTP, or simply, the M9, is a rugged and tough pistol that weighs almost spot on with the real steel varient. The gun is full metal, with the exception of one small plastic piece that flew off the first time I used it. On top of this, the right safety lever also had problems, as the screw holding it on fell off, not a huge problem since I am right handed and the one on the left side works great. (I bought this gun off of a friend who had used it very "lightly")

Internals-
The stock internals are great, with the ns2 gas system, the pistol averages 1+1/2 mags per fill (between 30-35 shots, considering the mag holds 23 rounds). The stock barrel is great, the accuracy you get out of the box is fantastic. the internals are pretty solid and field stripping is a breeze. One problem I have had issues with internally is the de-cocker, not exactly sure why, but otherwise I am personally not worried about it.

Final Verdict-
The final verdict is that this gun is worth every penny, the quality is top notch (minus a few little things here and there, none affecting performance) At a price point of around $160 and mags ranging between $35-45 the price point on this gun is a little steep, considering the KWA ATP costs around $130. Overall im very pleased with this gun and would recommend it to anyone looking to get a high quality M9.
