I will say that I think I got that snazzy Glock case from Wild Bill when I purchased his dual ammo Glock, and in my opinion he's installed the foam the wrong way round 😂 Every time I open it up the pistol and accessories are laid on the top foam and not in the lovely Waltherfan inserts I'm sure he will be along shortly to correct me on why that is  |

I don't know mate. Can't remember. The insert was from Waltherfan when he sent me one for free.  I reckon you must be opening the case upside down James.  |

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? That looks like the actual steel under the finish hasn’t been polished up properly to me. Who did you buy it from. Sorry for being slow. Got the COVID. It came from land warrior and they have been their usual great. They sent a new one out via ups and collected the old one at the same time. |

The catches open down not what we would normally expect up on this side of the pond. |

Good news about the Glock though, they are a good company. |

I'm not having the best luck with this pistol. I felt a little better this afternoon so I thought id give it a quick go. And the slide wont cycle. Stronger gas needed I thought. Fill it up properly I thought. What am I doing wrong? Why is it venting the entire mag on the first shot and not cycling the slide? Oh...  |

These do operate slightly differently from normal airsoft pistols, you can overfill the mags which will cause venting, 4-5 seconds is the optimal time. Also I found that you have to shoot them quite rapidly, very slow trigger pressure pull doesn’t really work for me with these. |

Yep I think the missing seal is the issue with this one ;-)
It took me a few goes and looks to figure it wasn't even there.
(is the image showing up in my above post?)

I have heard the router can be blown out if you depress the valve to dump the gas. I know Landwarrior always test the guns before despatch, wonder if they fired off a few shots and then depressed the valve to dump the rest before despatch and didn’t realise it had come out. |

Hopefully they can find it, or swap you for a different mag. Certainly not having much luck with this one. |

Land Warrior were great again and sent out a new mag in the post.
All works fine now. And what a great replica this is.
I really like the heavier pistol weight with the lighter mag. Definitely adds to the realism feel.
The frame quality is really nice with the inset frame rails. And the lack of an internal hammer makes the slide move smoothly.
Also I really like the heavier trigger. It stops you from really gently trying to squeeze the shot off as you have to more purposefully press the trigger. And its not really that heavy.
Power is nice too with some red gas.
