I have a TM 5-7 with the FDE frame, it is a great little pistol, gets rounds out there far. I would use duster gas in it, since it is all plastic. On propane it shoots 275 so on duster it should be around 240-250. It is also extremely accurate. I would get a ksc or TM glock though if I were to get another pistol. I'v realized that no matter how much I try, I don't really care for glocks. Thanks for your input though. Right now, I think if Miles still has that 4.3 then I'll go for it. If not, I'll do some thinking.

I know this is a double post as well as a necro-post(or whatever the word is for a post after a long amount of time), but I have a few uprising questions. Yes, I've taken long enough that most previous sellers either sold the gun they offered or I have lost contact with them. In the 1911 world, are TMs or WAs preferred, performance wise? Do high-capas have different performance than single-stacks? The reason I ask is because I am torn in a decision between two 1911s, one a TM and the other a WA. I don't want you guys to make the decision for me, but I would like the ups and downs of each. The TM model is the 4.3 high-capa. The WA model is the Wilson Combat Professional. Both have the same price and number of mags, so mags won't be a problem. I know it's incredibly noob-like to make posts like this, but I seriously don't know which to choose.

Here's the skinny. Whichever one you buy (assuming both are in the same working order and all that), you'll like it. Both are great shooters, and you won't notice a lot between them in terms of performance. Double stackers usually hold more ammo and have a larger gas reservoir. That means that in general when you shoot rapidly, you'll get a little more consistency and a little less cool down from the double stacker. Neither the WA nor the TM suffer terribly from cool down to begin with, so this is a moot point.
There are really only two differences between these guns in terms of user interaction. First is looks. If you think one is sexier than the other, the just get it. If you buy the one that you don't think looks as good, you'll always be disappointed. Second is the cost of upgrade and replacement parts. WA guns are more expensive to upgrade, repair, and get spare mags for. TM guns are cheaper in pretty much all regards. That might not be significant to you if you don't mind the extra cost that you might incur should your gun break or you choose to upgrade it.
Mostly, just get whichever one you like the looks of more. They're very different looking pistols. One is more business, the other is more flashy. If you want a realistic military loadout, the hicapa won't fit the part. If you want something with a little more panache, then the hicapa might be for you. Outside of that, there isn't a lot to choose from between the two.
