This is my first review, so kindly point me in the right direction if I make some wrong airsoft lingo.

HFC, which stands for Ho Feng Company www.hofeng.com is a Taiwanese manufacturer. As many of you know about their springers, and bb's, but also we know they don't have much gas guns around.

The guy I bought it off of this auction lives only 25 miles away from me, I was offering to go pick it up but I guess he wouldn't let me have pick-up as an option.. so I had to pay $12 to have it shipped to me the next day. Oh well, some things suck, get over with it.. On to the next thing.

The first thing I notice when I open the box is the lame construction of the white Styrofoam. The box graphics and cover looks really really nice, nothing like the UHC and other HFC cover's I've ever seen. Although quite simple, it does prove a tad bit eye catching.

The weight felt pretty standard. Probably about 500G, and the box states 480g.

Onto the gun itself. The first thing I did when I got the gun, rather than loading up with bb's and filling with gas like many others, I did something different.. I slid in the mag, checked for any evidence of wobbling. Nope, the construction was STURDY. I couldn't feel anything wobble at all, except for just a tiny bit of the plastic slide. I was looking for a gun-firing mode, because the 26C is supposed to have full auto and semi I think, but I couldn't find it. So it is a semi-auto.

Then, I took out the mag and took off the slide.. To get an idea of the internals. Mag releasing seems a bit tight, but I don't think nothing a bit of lube can't fix.

Once I opened up the internals, the first thing I noticed was a bit of streaked orange paint that was less than half an inch long. Basic Taiwan machine carelessness, I thought.. Nevertheless, the gun was lubed in all the right places.

I got an idea of how the internals worked, especially the trigger; funny thing is it's made of plastic, but also, the real steel version is made of polymer/plastic too. The link from the trigger to the internal hammer was made of metal, though. Got to watch that fragile small spring that operates that.

There's a hop up unit in this too, it's adjustable by a small plastic gear-like wheel that you see in marui hop-up versions too.

I slapped on everything back together and decided to give the gun a try out. I still had a bit of HFC22 left, so I used it in the magazine (the standard one holds 15 rounds) and slid back the lever, then proceeded firing at a window curtain 30+ feet away.

Not bad, I was thinking. Not bad at all for the money I paid for it. It was shooting fairly straight and the blowback reaction was perfect for this lil' peashooter. Blowback was a crisp flat 'pop' like picture you stepping on bubble wrap, only they're somewhat metal and make a metal popping noise.

Overall, the stock gun is nice if you don't overpay for it. I took 2 other gas pistols and compared their range and accuracies. A TM MK23 non-blowback, a WA M92FS Premium version.

Outside, I proceeded to shoot at a "VOTE JOSEPH CHO" sign that was probably 60-80 feet away.

Stock, we all know/can check up on sites that the TM MK23 non-blowback has 330 FPS. The WA M92 has about 280. It's labeled on HoFeng.com that it has 72 MPS, so translating the Taiwanese language I'm thinking it means meters per sec, do the math and convert meters to feet and you get 236.16 FPS (1M = 3.28 feet). Quite low, I'm thinking.

Anyway, back to the 3 gun performances. In terms of range, the MK23 scores first place by a large gap, the G26 second, and the WA last.

NBB's definitely have an advantage over blowbacks.

But yes, when I was shooting at "VOTE FOR JOSEPH CHO" the MK23 seemed to go straight the whole time.

The M92 went straight for about 30-40 feet, then as all the rest of us know, it tends to start curving like a kamikaze fly diving for a pile of poop.

Now for the glock, I hadn't adjusted the hop up, so for stock, it went straight for quite awhile. Like up until about 45-50 feet, then you could start noticing it wasn't going straight anymore.

But anyways yes, I found myself liking this small compact version of the glock more and more.

Overall, I spent today probably emptying about 200-300 rounds with it. A quarter of that was with HFC22, then I ran out and started using the 134a (precious, but I had no other gas left). The gun is really worth a 4/5 in my opinion, if you bought it stock. It's quite small and nice, you can fit it into your pocket and probably would forget about it (only it didn't weight as much). I'm sure Faye Valentine of cowboy bebop would agree.







But luckily, this seller gave me EXTRA stuff along with just the stock gun itself.

Things he included were -Extra Hi-cap 24 rnd mag -fake silencer (which I’ll probably never use, I hate silencer looks on glocks) -METAL G26 slide (oh yes!) -Upgrade springs -'BOOMER' muzzle attachment - from that I can read in Chinese, and what it looks like in the illustrations, this thing seems to give your gun a bit of the Laura Croft Tomb Raider gun look with the lined railed thingy, and makes 'louder' noises. I myself, am quite satisfied already with the pop that it makes as default. -Misc Green Neon sight (didn't try this yet)

I slapped on the metal slide and the springs, the glock feels nicer. Although the real one isn't made of steel, I think it would look pretty good with it on.. But that just destroys the purpose of polymer on them.. (go thru metal detectors unnoticed )

The total performance today was quite awesome. I will provide some random pictures of this and that if you want to take a look.

PS. There are no trademarks on this gun.. Only the regular plastic slide (not pictured) has the numbers 26 on the tip, but that's it. There's a gold spider logo on the handgrip where on the real steel it shows the glock logo. (I sharpied it black in mine, because I like my guns to look like the real steel).
