KSC Glock Questions

[Mr Random 42]

Ok, lately I've been looking for a KWA or KSC Glock as my primary sidearm, with little to no success. However, I just discovered a brand new KSC G17 with a metal slide ($140) on Ehobbyasia, and it just looks too good to be true. I have a few questions, just to make sure this is a good buy.

Here is the link:

1. Is Ehobbyasia a reliable retailer? I've never dealt with this company before, so some opinions would be nice.

2. KSC vs. KWA? Are there any substantial differences between the two, besides trademarks/slides? Does the KSC have the same quality as the KWA's?

3. Are there any major problems with the design of the GBB? Is the G19 model more reliable overall?

4. Does KSC still make glocks? I'm concerned that it may be a fake; also, I thought that KSC's couldn't have stock metal slides, but I may be wrong.

Thanks for answering any of the questions I have, I'm just making sure that this deal is as good as it sounds.

1 Yes they are reliable I have had ordered through them many times.

2 KSC=trademarks KWA=no trademarks glossy finish.  They both use the same parts as the KWA.

3 Overtime the plastic rocket valve will tend to fail.  My opinion All G17/19/34 are okay.

4 I doubt they make them anymore but I may be wrong.

One other question, does the KSC or the Marui perform better overall stock? I'm mainly looking for durability/reliability, with reasonable accuracy. I already know that the KSC/KWA hop up sucks, but this is just going to be a short ranged sidearm for me anyway, so I'm not concerned with that.

KWA KSC are the best just my opinion and TM Glocks have a screw that holds down the hammer mechanism rather than the KWA KSC uses pins instead much stronger.

Well, I went ahead and bought one from eHobby. The hopup is a little funky, but it's a good sidearm overall.
