If you want a small package to use as a backup weapon, they are pretty nice, but they wont cut it as a primary against better pistols.

The inner barrel has an AEP cut instead of a VSR/TM style gas pistol cut. This means that selection of aftermarket barrel is slim to none unless you can live with a longer barrel hidden in a (very light) silencer. It is possible to make them more accurate by stabilizing the inner barrel in the outer barrel with some teflon tape, but they are not a good upgrade platform.

Guarder recently started making upgrade parts for KJW glocks, notably slides, but I don't know if they are any better than the stock slide. Maybe the list of upgrade parts will grow in the future, but right now the list is very short. Also, it is not compatible with TM G17 parts, it is based off a clone of the TM G26 (TM doesn't make compact Glocks like the G19/23/32, only standard size (G17/18) and subcompacts (G26)).

So, if you want a pistol on your belt and forget about it until you need a backup for close range, the KJW is a great buy. If you want an accurate pistol that you can upgrade and that will be competitive in pistol only games, get a TM or KSC/KWA.
