I don't know where to get it, but when you find out... I want one!
(I only hope they don't utilize that piece of crap "magna" blowback system the Hk Tactical uses. I have nothing but trouble with those mags). Keep us informed. It looks pretty cool.

The regular KJW M9 mags don't use the copied "magna valve" of the USP line.  I have been wanting another M9 for sometime, but I like my USP so much (except the mags).  I think when this comes out it might just force me to shelf my USP to make room in my right side holster for one of those babies.

I'm not sure if this item will come out or not. If it does, I would kill to get one. Looks great. My experience with KJW was pretty bad in that the Command Post gave me a display model, so the plastic in the slide catch within the slide itself shattered within the first clip I personally put through it. However, I blame the fact that hundreds of other people must have dry fired that gun.

BUT, the reason I do not think this item will come out is this. Take a real close look at the pictures. In all the pictures, the slide is worn on all "sharp" edges. The last picture really shows this. This would mean that the slide is aftermarket. Also, the barrel looks just a little too "matte" for platic. On top of this, the recoil spring guide doesn't look stock. Granted, it's front end could be polished up, but how do you explain the hollowed out section? Normal spring guides do not usually look this way.

HOWEVER, if the gun IS a genuine factory KJW, let us all know! I am thinking of getting either TM or KJW M9 as soon as I get the funds (and after I fix up my MP5, LOL). 1911 variants are nice, but I can't live without my Beretta!

EDIT: A quick trip over to WGC confirmed my theory (to me at least) that the slide is an aftermarket "Taiwan Metal Slide" for the TM Tactical Master. Go figure.

I didn't really get the gist of what you meant...  but it DEFINITELY is an airsoft Beretta as you can see the mag fill valve in one of the pictures.

The gun looked to be an all metal version. It sports real steel Hogue grip panels. In the picture with the slide open, you can see what looks to be a stainless steel nozzle. If this is a stock weapon (maybe a limited edition or something), it's still going to be more expensive than the standard garden variety KJW gun. It has a great "tactical" look to it. I'm not sure if KJW has a web site, but it might behoove someone to get some more information. Heck, maybe I'll visit the site and see for myself.

Paco, basically, I gave a WAY too long explaination for why I think it is a KJW or TM M9 that has been upgraded. It's got an aftermarket metal slide (possible barrel, it looks "metal" to me), and the recoil spring guide doesn't look like a stock spring guide. Other than that, if it IS a real KJW gun, and they do make them at a reasonable price (I don't think they'll be too expensive, just a bit more), I'd like to get one. Been looking for a cheap Beretta for a whil. Can't decide between all the major companies (KSC, TM, KJW, perhaps KWC). Maybe the advent of this gun, should it be real, will help me decide. :-)

Yep.  It's a REAL KJW.  It's also metal.  Here it is for sale at WGC:

NICE! Metal frame even! Umm, might have to get me one of those now! Too bad it doesn't come with the threaded barrel. I wouldn't think that it would cost too much for one, though, if you really wanted it. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> Ah, I think I've made up my mind (for the most part, but the GG cost might fight me back).

I was just at Command Post in Scottsdale, they had a few of these for $150.00. Looks like a good deal. Felt really good in the hand too!

NO!  It's not.  There are two versions of the KJW Metal M92F.  One is the one that WGC sells and the other is the one you can get at AirsoftAtlanta for $139.  The one at WGC is of MUCH better quality than the ones sold locally or at AirsoftAtlanta.  Easiest way to tell is the better ones will have the white writing on the slide.

OOps!! Anyone got a spare rag, so I can wipe the egg off my face. You're correct, they don't have the white writing on them.
