part 66 is the notorious weak point on all socom versions
it will have to be replaced; good news is, guarder makes a spring set which includes recoil, hammer, as well as a reinforced #66
socom in HW is FAR superior to socom in ABS in terms of feel and weight
the moment you pick up HW, you wont even want to look at the ABS ver
more authentic replica is the first version, not the 2005 ver
it replicates the two-stage recoil spring assembly
2005 version uses a regular single spring like most gbbs and Ive heard reports of the recoil blowing the front part of the assembly out
g19 only holds 20 shots too, vs socom's 28, so its not bad as a sidearm, but you've gotta shoot damn straight if you want to primary it
socom sucks as a sidearm cause you will have this bigass piece of gun bouncing around on your thigh
SD makes beautiful (and expensive) CNC'd metal slide/barrel for mk23
I still miss mine
in terms of shooting experience, MK23...hands down
practical sidearm, G19
