PostSubject: KWA v. Glock   KWA v. Glock Icon_minitimeSat Jan 03, 2009 9:52 pm

Earlier today I went to a large state mall, well I ran into this small echo 1 distributor who also sold a few KWA's and we talked maybe for a hour. Well I found out that KWA was being sued by Glock for using Glock trademarks and design on their replica's. Glock won the case. So there will no longer be any KWA Glocks available in the United States, you can get them everywhere else but stateside Evil or Very Mad . This man I spoke with also had contacts with the Glock HQ right here in Smyrna, GA. The news I got is glock may start making replica Airsoft firearms for police training, but KWA got its ass kicked by Glock.

Who knows maybe a Glock airsoft brand will be a good thing. Very Happy

Oldish news, however I will say that it is a bad thing. Expect the prices for AS Glocks to skyrocket. Sig is also making a 226 for airsoft, retail is around $250.

Linkage: http://sigarms.com/SigStore/ShowProductDetails.aspx?categoryid=99&productid=234

KSC will probably still make Glocks, and you can always get a Glock lower and just add a Glock slide/barrel/mag and wallah you have an airsoft Glock for the normal price($120-140).

KWA are substandard when compared to KSC anyway....

And you spelled expensive wrong, it's actually spelled A.R.E.S.

i bet if you bought some KWA Glocks that you could probably sell them to people (collectors and what not) for a lot of money.
