New to airsoft? Here are some safety tips for airsoft guns that we recommend following.

The history of the Colt Gov't M1911 Pistol began in early 1900s, when famous designer John M. Browning began to develop semi-automatic pistols for Colt Company. In 1906-1907 the U.S. Army announced trials to replace its service revolvers with a new, semi-automatic pistol. The Army required the new pistol to have the caliber of .45 inch, so Browning designed its own cartridge that fired a 230-grain (14.9 gram) bullet, and then, designed the new pistol around it. In 1911, the new pistol and its cartridge were adopted for U.S. military service as the M1911. The improved design was adopted by the US Military as the M1911A1 pistol, and served with distinction until the mid-1980s.

Product Information:
I wanted a classic looking 1911. I went with this given KWA reputation on a tight/solid build. I got this. Was happy that it was all black. The trades are minimal and indented and blend so well it’s hardly noticeable. The outer barrel is plastic and protrudes. I would recommend (if you want to remove it to get the flush real 1911 look) so not use acetone or nail polish remover as it changes the coloring of the barrel and eats away at the material almost immediately. What you can do. Take it out. And just hold it like a pencil and rub it on sandpaper in a circle for a little bit. The plastic is pretty cheap so it comes off like an eraser. I was surprised how quick it was to wear off 1/4 inch with minimal effort. So be careful. Make it even. Clean it up. And touch up with a tiny bit of basic acrylic paint. And like that it looks more like the classic 1911.

Build. It feels tightly put together. NO WOBBLE tight mag fit. But everything worked. Really like the no wobble no rattle as I am pretty OCD. Looks good. BUT I will say the slide feels cheap. Doesn’t click clack nearly as nice or loud as many other 1911s I’ve handled. I cleaned and lubed it but still feels a little weak and sloshy. Not a huge con. But I was mildly disappointed in that. Also the hammer creates wear on the beaver tail quickly. It can be touched up if desired. Other not so great thing is the slide release with chip away at the slide notch and shows wear quickly. Just adding to the slide feels kinda cheap sadly. Just don’t do that too much and it should be fine.
I was able to put wood grips on it for a better look but you need to drill out from the underside of the grips about 3mm total depth. The bushing from the handle stick out a little more than real steel. Still not a tough adjustment to fit real grips on it. The ones it comes with are actually decent though and have weighted panels in them. But the wood looks way better.
Mags look good. Can hold 20 shots. You can get probably 20 shots but that’s about it. I may be bad at filling gas mags but I’ve done it many times and the most I can get is 1 solid mag. But it’s a thin mag and can’t hold too much so I get it.
Shooting. It’s. Ok. I expected better. Doesn’t shoot that hard. Not very loud. Ok in accuracies. Overall though with such a well fit build and look and decent gas mags it’s a good pistol. Better than the WE 1911. Though the WE metal actually looked and felt better to my surprise. But the WE build is shakey. Bad mags. And way less accurate and powerful.

I’d give it a 3.5/5. With standouts being for the right build. Nice look and feel and easily adjustable outer barrel (though the con being it’s plastic and NO ATTACHMENTS for threaded barrel) but the outer barrel doesn’t show wear so it’ll stay looking better (no scratching since plastic color will always be the black—-though I painted mine a dark gray and looks sweet and hasn’t scratches off at all)
My cons are the weak slide metal. Not as click clacky. Seemingly modest power and accuracy

I still really like it. But going into battle I’d prefer a CO2 gun or a better gas gun- the KWA M9 out performs in shooting.


Pros:
Tight build. No rattles or wobbles. Classic look. Decent mags. 20 shots for a thin mag

Cons:
Weak slide metal material. Feels like the slide catch will wear on the notch :(
Not the most powerful. Not the most accurate. Can’t get much more than 1 mag per gas fill
