What is the best option for a Sig 226 replica?

[shakespeare]

So I've been thinking about doing a Navy SEAL - esque impression, and that means that I should be using a Sig 226 replica as a sidearm. I have done a bit of research, including scanning our forums here. I see three options and will detail what I have found and my questions.
KWA 226 PTP - I like KWA's a lot. I have a 1911A1 from them and I like it a lot. However, I was reading this thread http://airsoftpacific.com/viewtopic.php ... hlight=226
and it said that it had some problems, such as a wobbly hammer and odd build quality. Also, not all of the parts to it are available from KWA's online shop, so is it possible to special order them if necessary? And also, have the problems been fixed?

KJW 226 - It sounds like this is the cheapest option and still a very good one. It doesn't seem to pose many questions to me.

TM 226 w/ metal body kit - Apparently is the best option, but is also the most expensive due to a very pricey body kit.

Which of these is the most effective option as a sidearm?

Thanks for taking the time to read my wall of text.

i have a KJW 226 and i like it. the only problem ive had is broken feed lips on the magazine because they are made of plastic. its compatible with some TM parts too, ive got a threaded barrel in mine. i also really like the KWAs, and i havent personally heard of a lot of issues with it.

I own one of the newer KJW 226s (the one with Cybergun trades), and it's one of my favorite GBB handguns ever. Easily beats the TM, and, although I've never handled a KWA, they seem to have quite a few problems. The KJW uses more gas than the KWA (about one mag per gas fill), but it's one of the more sturdy replicas I've owned. I've put it through six months of heavy CQB use, banged it and dropped it, and nothing has broken yet.

Actually, my only problem with it is the complex nature of double-action blowbacks. KJW came out with the single-action version of the P226 (the X-Five) recently; you might want to check that out as well.

I ended up getting the KJW, like Beran said the only issue is broken feed lips but because they are TM compatible they are readily available. I also, mine seems to prefer a lot of lube in the mags. Other than that, it has served me very well.

My KWA P226 PTP blows balls. Go TM with a Guarder metal kit. Sure it's expensive, but it's worth it.

I have 2 TM p226's they are a very fine replica

I've got the KSC Replica of the P226r. I love the think. The fact it has trades and is all metal is a huge plus. it's worth looking into (In my opinion). I don't know whether it's any better than KWA (my guess is KWA is better, but I wouldn't know) but it sure is nice. Doesn't hog too much gas either.
