A Survey for the Ages
In addition to these great new products, the Tokyo Marui Festival 2023 is also running a survey to know which new handgun should be produced next. This time the focus seems to be on older pistols such as the P08, P38, M712 and even the classic M19.
Votes are now open and you too can weigh in via this link right here. Something tells us that the M19, the Rhino and the GP-100 will be popular choices...
Come shoot and have fun!
Some visitors don't seem entirely comfortable with the P-90 model. Perhaps can we suggest shouldering the rifle? That would be a good start... ;)
