Nice review, thanks a lot! Bought my C2 (same as the one in this video) june, then have it cerakoted: burnt bronze slide, FDE frame, black barrell. Kept all the metal bits (slide stop, mag release and so on) in black as well. Added a flat trigger, enhanced magwell, stippling for the grip, SRO dot replica and SF X300 flashlight replica. I love it. 😍
Just saw airsofteire are now stocking your products. As someone who works in manufacturing engineering, the quality of products you produce has always stood out to me. Been watching your content for a while. Nice to be able to purchase your products without having to pay import duty. The airsoft market in Ireland is starting to improve, with having a 1J limit ordering airsoft guns from abroad can be a coin toss with customs with some exceptions of course. (End of tangent 😂) Happy Christmas mate
I had one ordered for Xmas. Thanks to parcelforce it didn't arrive in time. And it killed me that you uploaded this video on the day I was meant to have mine. But glad I watched your review and I eagerly wait for mine to play with now. Great video as always, and Merry Christmas
couple of things to note on these... the slide release is a failure point. of the 5 ive sold, 4 have failed. also, mag valves aren't great and I've seen 3 failures so far. lastly, 2 have come back with low power and feeling issues, all of which developed after a month or so of use. that being said, all easy fixes. the overall quality of them is actually really good, and the newer T8 versions are even better again (bar the split hop rubber) Cracking Video as usual, hope you have a great Christmas
I’ve also got the C2 along side the CNC versions of the Pit Viper and Combat Master, love them. What’s funny though, is mine came with 2 RMR plates and not the cover like yours
This version is the C2, not the C2 Comp SOC. The C2 Comp SOC has a compensator at the end of the barrel, which is the difference between the two. Keep up the good work. 🤗
I've had one of these since the international release at the beginning of the year. It's a great little platform and just runs and runs. Also, this is the standard C2
Great pistol and I love the trades, I had to replace the sear and hammer on mine, it was shooting full auto lol, I used the Cow Cow Technology Enhanced Stainless Steel Sear and Cow Cow Technology Match Grade Stainless Steel Hammer Type B - Black, works even better now, not cheap but they will last a lot longer.
@Theflyesttruckerukno does the XC have the possibility to unscrew the rear sight and slide cap and fit and replace them with an optic mount as this one? Thanks!
I personally have 3 of AA's newer Hicapa line and I have to say they feel super smooth. One was their R612M model before they got the proper licensing here in the US and that has been my workhorse for 2 years now. Have only swapped the barrel/bucking on it to Maple Leaf parts and sanded/polished the frame rails to make it rack buttery smooth. But besides that it has run well whilst stock. Another is the one you have but the comped version and that thing has been a joy to run. Last one I got is their cheaper version of the Pit Viper which has been personally my favorite of their's to run. Imo out of the box its sprung the best as it is super snappy and stiff and feels great to shoot. Although I do wish I got the upgraded version as to answer your question on the slide material I believe that version and the upgraded JW4 pistols all have CNC Aluminum slides and steel internals where the cheaper models like the older JW3 Combat Master had a mixture of aluminum/pot metal on some parts. My only complaint I have with the pistols so far has been on the comped guns in that the guide plug doesn't really have any way of getting a good grip on it combined with the awkward angle you have to move the guide rod aswell as the stiff spring make it a royal pain to get the spring assembly out for a barrel change.
So glad you did this video as been looking at these for a while and think I will now take the plunge. Would be interested to know if these take what TM aftermarket parts and if they take TM mags as there seems to be some mixed information out there Also if people can tell me what holsters they are using. Ideally looking for a safariland footprint to work with a QLS fork
I have the P version and lol its very impressive and the fps on the card says 336 fps which i think its not right but when i go to game in January with it and it says 336 fps ill be shocked and etc

I bought the P version a couple weeks ago and honestly it’s probably the best pistol I own, it’s punchy, the slide is so smooth too!
Same!! Did you also get the steel part upgraded version? Am so satisfied with it
@ yeah I got the upgraded version with the steel internals and stippled pistol grip!

Yeah I've been here since before the jw3 Jag/army pistol and it's still running now 👍

The emg/army t8 upgraded versions are class pistols
Bought the longer version not long back, quality was perfect. Currently on bits waiting for me to cerakote it. Great pistol for the price tho 😊
I've got the real version of this. I also play airsoft. Didn't know they made an airsoft version. Now I need this too lol.
I've been interested in the long boi version
Sorry, does anyone know if they are CO2 compatible please? Thanks.
