These are both Tokyo Marui's with the stock plastic slides. I like the plastic slides because they're cheap to replace when they crack - I have been running the 18C on propane gas and without upgrades it will damage even an aluminum slide. But I can get replacement plastic slides for about $3 each so it's not a big deal to me.
I really like the Tokyo Marui quality. They are just like holding a real Gen 3 Glock. A few months ago I posted a thread asking about training using airsoft, I find these guns have been an awesome help for training. They are accurate enough out to 10 meters so I can get a good idea if I have any problems with my grip i.e. flinch or pulling. Limp wristing is a bit tougher to detect but I try to be careful about that.
These days I have been using them to practice various quick draw methods as well as just fun plinking around in my house.
The Glock 26 is remarkably quiet, though my quietest gun is the Maruzen Colt .380 Mustang, great for night time practice. It also happens to be absolutely TINY, I can conceal it even wearing a fairly close fitting shirt or pants.
