So what is a good, accurate make and model? Say, to fit in my Glock 17's holster?

The one thing that I hate about airsoft is the limited selection. Decent gas guns are Glocks and Berettas, with a smattering of 1911. In rifles, if it isn't an AR, an AK or an MP5, it's ridiculously expensive. I have a co-worker who is heavily into airsoft, and he invites me to games time to time. I wanted to get something that replicates a gun I have, but airsoft FN-FAL costs more than my real one.

Most of them aren't so bad, I've been looking at an all metal frame 1911, gas blowback, standard sized 1911 mags, all functional safties and slide lock for anywhere between 100 and 170 dollars. i think for a decent training tool (and a good way to plink cans in the basement) its worth it. But your'e right, some of those guns are rediculously expensive

Looks decent.

But, yeesh, how about that gun handling in the video on that page?

That would be a blast if they would sell to the public, but I can understand why they don't.
