Remember me James when you come to sell it. Hi David, Defcon airsoft sell them around £370. One of my contacts has them at £340 and they are in stock I believe. Here’s his details. If you do contact him please say you got his details from me.

Thanks Doug but out of my pocket money just now. Unless I can get £399.99 for my NRA. No I forgot it’s definitely not for sale. Sacrilege even at that price 😂

You guys are making it hard to resist....
I was looking at a rifle and shotgun as well. Oh what too choose.

I had one turn up today. Initial impressions were good. But it will have to go back as the finish on the slide is buggered. And for that money it better be perfect :-) Hopefully I can just get a replacement.

That’s not so good. Did you take pictures of the offending slide?

I have seen a fair few of these over the last few months and they have all been well finished, till now.

As long as you can get an exchange it's all good, I'm surprised that the QC missed that but look what happened to me with the Umarex S&W model 29, it had marks to the finish on the cylinder but the RFD exchanged it for me.

It looks like you have just been unlucky there so fingers crossed the replacement is spot on. As you said, for top money it needs to be spot on.

I guess it’s Landwarrior or Defcon, either will sought it I am sure. Careful posting back to Landwarrior though, wouldn’t use next day by 1pm as it will get flown and quite likely scanned.

They have asked that I check it's not transport grease.
It doesn't rub off with just a cloth. Would it be safe to use methylated sprit or white spirit on the slide?

So it's official, this GHK model is now my favourite Glock replica and as such has gone to live in my best Glock case. It replaces the .43 Umarex PBM model Is it better made? Hard to tell as the 43 has zero rattle and the mag release is lovely. This one has some rattle to it, but that slide noise and the amount of travel on pull back, plus the crisp release and realism of operation are superb. If you're the type of collector that likes to just mess with the gun be it take down or just cocking etc. this GHK is the one for you
