WE M&P or N&P or Toucan

There are three parts to my findings with the WE M&P thus far (eventually I'll do another part or two). You can find the links to my blog, Overhoppers, in the text below.

"Cheers, WE. You’ve come quite a ways from that crappy old 1911 I owned. I’m actually impressed with this M&P!"

[Note, this image is not mine, it is directly from WE; I've linked to it in my blog]

Long story short (and for those of you who are too lazy to click the links to my blog):

A cool gun with a mushy trigger and snappy recoil. Decent performance in the cold for a WE, smaller magazine capacity than most other Airsoft double stack 9mm mags though. Seam lines apparent in plastic, finish on outer barrel crappy. Looks good, feels good. Ambidextrous slide stop, interchangeable back straps work as advertised.

Problems with performance and shooting out of the box. Fixes generally easy, though not for the mechanically challenged. Sear may need to be filed down, hop up arm needs to be filed down - both require partial disassembly of WE M&P, beyond a simple field strip. With minor fixes for the major known issues, the WE M&P is worth the time and money (especially considering how there's no other full-size M&P GBB out there yet).

I have to say, I normally dont care too much for people's blogs. But after skimming your review I think you have another reader. Keep up the good work friend.

Dude you should resize your pics. I believe you're WAY over the size limit for this forum. I personally can't get excited for any pistol externals if it has fake trades.

Is there any difference between the M&P's that come in the box with a Toucan on it? Mine came in a Toucan box and thought it was really odd as WE's dont normally have such random stuff on the box.

The WE pistols are named after animals to get around any kind of licencing issues, I am sure they are the same quality of pistol regardless of if it came in a box marked Toucan or not. If it came in a box wothout the Toucan marking it just means its an earlier build.

Can't wait as well! Apparently it's going to be a fairly inexpensive pistol.

Full-auto fix how-to video: WE M&P Full-Auto Fix - YouTube. Or in my blog post about the video here: http://overhoppers.wordpress.com/201...full-auto-fix/.

Found out that WE is producing working hop up arm/dials as in the WE M&P Compact - took one apart at work and "re-purposed" its parts into my gun. Read about it here.
