Will put it on Youtube and embedded here for better viewing ...
Looks good on the camera with such gun blued finish on a plastic pistol (and the silver chamber & hammer add the bonus ) - also the recoils are somewhat satisfactory...so why people still want to buy that Inokatsu version when we can get 8 of these Maruis for the same price...

The blued finish looks particularly nice Jim. Tokyo Marui do make some good, reliable GBB pistols

I have the TM 45 but its a matt finish and it is a great gun pity they did not have this blue finsih when i was buying Trouble with TM is they still do everything in plastic when most others have gone to metal, i have the WE 45 and that is as good as the TM but metal (cheaper to) i wanted the PX4 berreta but again TM do it in plastic so i bought the HK one in metal and its a great gun. TM quailty is first class but when you canbuy full metal versions at a cheaper price which are still good quality well full metal wins.

The result of fierce Taiwanese full-metal GBB pistols competitions Cerwyn...that's why the Japanese makers hate the Taiwanese so much ...

I got that military version before as well but like you says claymore there're better options later on so I generously gave it to my cousin ...
WE 1911s - got the special one with Taiwan Government Markings...not too bad apart from the squarish looking ejection port ...
Marui won't dare having their GBB pistols in metal - without mentioning the local legal hassle (i.e. Japanese consumers replace plastic parts with HK/Taiwan metal parts at their own risk) - Marui is currently doing whatever they can to control their sales price so if it changes to metal we can expect the price doubled...similar to WE's approach - saturating the market with their guns first then individuals can upgrade theirs at their wish...
