TM does not make a MK23 GBB. Maybe not currently, but they did I believe at one time. www.justpistols.co.uk/mk23.htm(thinking about it further, I believe it was NBB, so the argument is null).

it was indeed NBB. I'd love to get a hold of one. Said to be one of the most accurate and quietest gas pistols ever made.

BBs went where the barrel was pointed, but the stupid long trigger pull meant that the barrel wasn't necessarily pointed where you wanted it to be pointed. As a result, for practical purposes it doesn't hold a candle to something like the TM Five-seveN.

Thin I'll just stick with my 5-7, although that trigger pull isn't exactly short either.

I'm not sure if it's the layout of everything, or if it's because it feels like a toy. I'm aware that a TM Five-seveN IS a toy, but a real FN one feels like a toy also. When I hold a gun, I like to KNOW I'm holding a gun. As for the trigger pull, I've never fired a real or replica, so I can't really speak from that corner. I feel like 1911's typically have good trigger pull, for about 3 rounds, right when they run out of gas... It's a cruel world we live in.

The TM has a relatively short trigger pull compared to its RS counterpart, and is accurate as hell. I'm still running some tests but with .28 BBs I was able to hit torso size at ~160 feet 7/10 times. I'm getting some .3s in soon and I'm hoping to get it as close to 200 as possible

I'd personally suggest my favorite GBB pistol the TM Hi Capa!! It has the look of 1911 but without any of the disadvantages! Like the small gas reservoir, also it has a ton of upgrade parts! It's a excellent base to build a tactical gun : And you can also go the all the way t racing open class builds! Wolf

As an owner of both the TM Mk23 and the 5-7, Knief is right- while the Mk23 is fantastic, it doesn't make a great secondary to switch to when the mag goes dry. It has a stupid long trigger pull, that even when kept on target makes it a pain in the nuts to shoot (I'm a big believer in the double tap).
The 5-7 is one of my favorite TM pistols, and I've owned quite a few throughout the years. It's got a really responsive trigger, which my trigger happy double tappin self just loves. Not to mention the sucker is crazy accurate. The biggest downside of the 5-7 for me is the cost of replacing a magazine when I FUBAR it and can't fix it, or lose one (last I checked, around $50, with no knockoffs available). Now, Fugazi is absolutely right: the TM 5-7 feels like a toy. Then again, so does the real steel version...
And the vast majority of the TM line, really- all their pistols are lightweight but durable plastic, and they just feel like solidly built toys. But personally, I've never come across a better pistol. They're rugged, high performance little things, and if you can look past it feeling like a toy, you really can't go wrong with any of them.
