HFC m190 vs WE 1911

Im currently deciding either to get myself the WE 1911 single stack or the HFC m190 special forces semi auto only. Id be great help if anyone has either of these two guns could let me know if there are any problems or cons about each of them and how reliable/durable they are. thanks.

I forgot to add, does the m190 have a threaded barrel so i could throw on a silencer?

Both of those guns are on the lower end of the quality spectrum. I do have a WE 1911 myself but all the internals were gutted like a fish, and replaced with KJW P14.45 internals. So the only thing WE left on it is the body itself, which is fairly decent.

I'd highly suggest you spend a bit if extra cash and get a higher end one if you plan on using it for more than q couple months (maybe more maybe less) before you inevitably have to change SOMETHING that broke. On the WE 1911 the biggest culprit is the bushing that shatters on ya.

If you want a good quality 1911 then I suggest you get a KJW if you want a full metal out of the box, some even come with trademarks now. For an M9 Id suggest a KWA PTP. Hands down the BEST pistol Ive come across. Full steel construction (excluding the outer barrel).

In order to buy these though, you will need to get yourself Age Verified and browse the classifieds here, as you CANNOT order from an out-of-country retailer. If you are not 18 yet then kindly wait until you are, thus allowing you to save more money for better toys. Also fill out your profile please.

I've had both, and got rid of both.
I don't know too much about GBB internals but I've heard that WE parts are hard to comeby and not totally compatible with other companies.
Like RockN'Roll said, go for something higher quality like KSC or TM.

EDIT: Threaded barrels are aftermarket parts.

I have a couple WEs, the recoil spring guide needs shortening (~1mm) [fixed in the newest version I have] and I've upgraded the internals (piston head, recoil spring, hammer spring) [again, on the newest version the stock hammer spring performs better than Marui aftermarket one].

If you aren't willing to work on your gun, don't go WE. But if you don't mind, and don't mind spending a bit for aftermarket parts, you can get a really decent full metal 1911.

I've heard nothing but low accuracy stories about WE guns.
Now granted HFC has their number of lemons, when they put a pistol together right they do a DAMN good job!
My stock HFC M194x (beretta) outranges any stock AEG and maintains pinpoint accuracy despite its fixed hopup. My friend's got two HFC M199s as well, no problems or complaints about them at all and we've had them for over a year now using them regularly.

I love my HFC M190. WAY more accurate than my TM Glock 26A.

My HFC 190 SF shoots great except for the hop up I damaged.My gun
can handle being immersed in water in my holster or the dust and dirt.
It still shoots shot after shot.
