Hey Guys, I have been reading another thread here on ASC about the best metal pistol to buy, and this has prompted me to do my own thread.

I own a Tokyo Marui MEU 1911 pistol and it is a great gun. It fires perfectly everytime and its very acurate. The problem that I have with it is it is plastic. As good as TM plastic is, it just doesn't has the weight, feel or sound of real metal.

So this has me debating if I should sell my TM and use the money to invest in a brand new 1911 from a brand that already makes their guns out of Metal, or should I just buy a metal kit and convert my TM to metal?

I have never done full conversion of a GBB pistol before (both the slide and the frame), but I am pretty handy and I am sure that I could figure it out.

I guess that I am wondering if a person buys a kit, say a Guarder metal kit, and swaps all the components from the TM over on to it, is it still going to perform like a TM? Would a person end up with a better pistol if you just start with a packaged product that is engineered to work in metal right out of the box, even if it is from a lesser brand of gun?

I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this, and if you think that I should just start with a fresh 1911, what brand would you recommend or not recommend?

Thanks in advance for reading and responding to my thread.
