Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 4.3 Dual Stainless (Blue) (TM-004-BLUE)
The Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 4.3 Dual Stainless, code TM-004-BLUE, is a compact gas blowback pistol supplied in blue. It is the UK coloured version of Tokyo Marui’s Hi-Capa 4.3 Dual Stainless, based on the shorter version of its high-capacity 1911-style pistol, and combines a double-stack magazine with a compact, easy-to-carry size.
Tokyo Marui is the Japanese manufacturer behind many of the most influential designs in airsoft, and its gas blowback pistols are widely regarded as the benchmark for out-of-the-box accuracy and consistency. A huge range of aftermarket parts is designed around Tokyo Marui pistols, so they are easy to maintain and upgrade. The Hi-Capa 4.3 is one of the most popular pistols in airsoft, and this blue version gives you the same excellent performance in a bright, distinctive finish.
Design and features
The pistol is built mainly from plastic, keeping it light and easy to carry. It has a functional slide safety, a working slide release and a grip safety with a beavertail, along with forward cocking serrations on the slide. A tactical rail is integrated into the frame, so you can fit a compact torch or laser, and the pistol field strips in a realistic way for cleaning.
The blue finish is the UK coloured version of this model. Many players and collectors like the bright, distinctive look, and it makes the pistol easy to spot if you put it down on the range or in the safe zone.
Performance
The double-stack magazine holds 25 rounds plus one in the chamber, and the hop-up is adjustable so you can tune it to your BBs. Tokyo Marui designs its pistols around HFC134a gas, which gives smooth, consistent shots and keeps wear low.
How it works
The Hi-Capa 4.3 is a gas blowback pistol. Gas is filled into the magazine, and each pull of the trigger releases a measured amount to fire the BB and drive the slide back. The moving slide gives a real kick in the hand, cocks the action for the next shot and, on most models, locks back when the magazine runs dry, so you build the same reloading habits you would with a real pistol.
Like every gas pistol, its performance depends on temperature. Gas pistols cycle crisply on warm days; in the cold, pressure drops, so keep a spare magazine in an inside pocket and pace your shots during rapid strings so the magazine has a moment to recover. Good quality BBs of a consistent weight give the flattest, most repeatable flight.

Compatibility
Use Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 4.3 magazines; please ask us before buying spares from other makers. Fires standard 6mm BBs; 0.20g to 0.25g suit Tokyo Marui gas pistols well.
Tokyo Marui gas pistols are designed around lower-pressure HFC134a-type gas. Stronger green gas can put extra strain on the slide and internals, so a low-power gas is the safer choice. Use only gas made for airsoft guns; never use lighter fluid or butane. Holsters made for Hi-Capa 4.3 pistols are the best fit, and a huge range of aftermarket Hi-Capa parts is available if you want to customise it later.
Care and maintenance
Gas blowback pistols reward a little regular attention. After a day’s play, wipe the slide, frame and magazine down with a lightly oiled cloth to remove dust and moisture, and run a cleaning rod with a clean patch through the inner barrel every so often to keep accuracy consistent. Use only gas made for airsoft, and put a drop of silicone oil on the magazine fill valve and outlet seal from time to time to keep them supple and leak-free.
Don’t overfill the magazine; a short, steady fill is enough, and you will hear and see when it is full. For storage, leave a small amount of gas in the magazine to keep the seals pressurised, store the pistol and magazines at room temperature, and avoid leaving them in a cold car or direct sun. In cold weather keep spare magazines warm in a pocket, as gas pressure drops noticeably as temperature falls. Use good quality seamless 6mm BBs, as cheap or misshapen BBs are the most common cause of jams and hop-up wear.
Who is it for?
This blue Hi-Capa 4.3 suits players who want a compact, high-capacity pistol with Tokyo Marui accuracy and a finish that stands out from the crowd.
