Now, I've had this gun for half a year now, and it has never broken on me. Just a heads up, to you people who don't know m9s that well, be careful when you take off the grips to replace them, because the slide release and the mag release can fall out easily, as well as the firing pin. But the mags never leak, it has an easy field strip, it's loud, it has a nice kick, and it's LITERALLY full metal. It comes well lubed so no worry there, but it's easy to lube. Only issues are that the orange is painted on the tip, and if you shoot to fast, bbs fly out of the chamber, because the slide can't cycle fast enough. Hope this helped! P.S. Buy this gun!
