You can actually give Dave's a call and see if they'll order it, or try ordering it online. I was in a rush about a year ago to get a 1911 left handed serpa and he guy on the phone said they could have it in about 2 weeks or so (but it'd be a little tough because lefty holsters aren't as common). I ended up just buying one on ebay. But if you have the time, give dave's a call and see what they can do.

I picked my USP Blackhawk clone from ASG for $30 I think and then mounted it on a real Blackhawk drop leg I bought from DS tactical.

Ok i just got back from an airsoft game and i seem to have a problem and was wondering if anyone can offer a soultion. What seems to happen is that ill shoot two or three shots in single action, then when i pull the trigger again the gun will decock, ill shoot again in double action and then it will fire, and return to single action.

Any ideas or solutions?

Oh and also, when trying my pistol today i could never be sure how much gas to put it, so if anyone could tell me that would be great. As well, any ideas on how long a can of green gas will last?

When filling up a mag, I usually do about 10 seconds per mag. The best indicator to let you know that the mag is full is when the adaptor sounds like there is nothing coming out of it, or it makes some other wierd sound.

Alright thank you. When it comes to lubing the pistol how do you know youve put too much and if you have how do you take it off? I fear i may have gone slightly overboard.i put two quick sprays inside the entire slide, two more at the spring and spring guide and two more in the little crevices inside the slide. Yet the gun still has the issue of ocassionally stopping while racking the slide.

I looked up a review of the KWA USP and the person doing the review said his still catches when racking no matter how much lube he puts in it.

I'm using a fobus holster, ordered straight from Israel. Great holster. Check it out if you like simple designs

I just tried it, and seems the problem with the decocker was just not enough lube because i never lubed it before playing so that was probably the reason. There was a problem with the bbs not leaving the barrel but im accounting that to the cold weather as i was testing this morning. As for the slide rack it only happens rarely so it is not too large of an issue. What is the normal range of a pistol? Because im not reaching more than 50 ft. Thats normal right?
EDIT: More than 50ft with accuracy. The bb reaches past 50ft, but its not consistent enough to get a hit at that range.

From my experiance, unless you are using a TM SOCOM MK23, 50 feet is pretty standard. Remember, the barrel in your pistol is waaaaay shorter then a barrel in any AEG, and it's not a tight bore. Plus, a pistol really isn't made for accuracy (besides the TM MK23). It's for those "Oh S#!t, my primary is down and some one is charging at me! Better transition to my secondary and get some rounds down range!" situations.
