Ok I have read alot of the posts and I have read alot of great advice. So here is my question. If you had to choose between a TM Sig P226 Rail and the KWA G17 which one would you get and why?
If you give to a charity please think of giving to one of these two charities. The Naval Special Warfare Foundation or Navy SEAL Warrior Fund.

The P226. It has good performance, good looks, and a working decocker. Although the G17 gets points in my book for being reliable no nonsense pistol and with it's metal slide, is able to last a while on green. It's also cheaper to purchase, fairly accurate, strong, and has a good amount of kick. Although if I were you I would recommend a KSC glock 19 and buy a metal slide for it. The KWA glock 19s don't have the heavyweight frame like the KSC and a KSC glock with a nice metal slide is a nice gun indeed. Have my KSD glock18c with metal slide and it works just fine on propane and green/top.

go to AEX and hold / fire any pistol you think looks good. Pick the one thats most comfortable to hold to you and is in your price range. I kinda liked the look of the M9 before i held one, ended up getting a G23f because it was more comfortable to hold IMO (more so than the G19 because of the grip enxtender. But of those two the Sig is nice

With those 2 guns it will come down to personal opinion on style and comfort.

Well I went to AEX and they had the 226 so I had to get that one. Thanks for the advice.
