Product Information:
I went out looking for an air soft sidearm that wasn't a 1911, and ended up getting this after a lot of looking. The gun itself is modeled after the FN-45 handgun and Cybergun does an excellent job of getting it as cosmetically close to the real steel as possible, right down to the internals.

This replica features a double action trigger equipt with a safety and decock feature which are ambidextrous. The safety, indicated by a red dot that the switch covers, does not get covered all the way, unfortunately. The decock also only collapses the hammer half way. The upper receiver of the replica holds trijicon-style sights which are elevated to allow the user to see over barrel attachments. The sights are okay, though the white dot filling on mine was faded. The upper receiver also has a plate that can be removed to allow the user to attach a red dot. The lower receiver is plastic and had a tactical rail in front of the trigger guard. The stippling on the hang grip is aggressive and makes it difficult for the replica to slip out of your hands. It should be noted that the upper receiver and barrel tend to wobble. It isn't terrible, but it does take away from the realism of the replica substantially.

The Mag release for this replica is ambidextrous, as well as the disassembly switch. Disassembly of this replica is very easy, and cleaning/lubing the parts is nearly hassle free. The Magazine is the bulk of the weight for the unit. The magazine fits tightly in the mag well, but has some quality issues. The first time I let the spring slip on the mag, the plastic feeding tip at the end of the spring snapped in half. The mag itself also has a plastic base plate which is only held on by one screw, and can snap off easily. This, in my opinion, is unacceptable quality for a Magazine which retails for $40.

Overall, this is a good replica and I would recommend it to anyone who wants something other than the standard 1911's that saturate the American market. Beware that there currently aren't a lot of retailers that sell specific spare parts, let alone internal upgrades for this replica yet.

It is currently $190 (though I got it on a shocker for 160) on ASGI, but I've found it else ware running as high as $225. The Mags are also very expensive, going for about $40 a pop. If this wasn't a shocker sale when I got it, I probably would have shopped else ware and for a different replica.
