Product Information:
Got this during the Christmas promotion and I must say it's impressive! I've always been a fan of KJWs (having owned KWAs, KSCs, KWCs, G&Gs, and so on). Good fit and finish, good power, and oh my, the heft of this beast! I measured it on a digital scale and it comes in at 1131 grams (2.49 lb) fully loaded. That is heavier than my real steel Glock 21 SF (1067 grams or 2.35 lb) with 11 rounds!
The power is enough to crack cheap ceramic vases and go through denim. Even though I didn't chrony it, the FPS is definitely there (the slip that came from Airsoft G.I. stated 300 for the test fire).
Take-down and operation are close enough to the real thing. Sure, the hammer-drop is only a safety and the recoil assembly is not 100% but for a fun airsoft toy, it absolutely gets my approval.
At a price point of around $80, this is a no-brainer. Definitely get it! It oozes value but doesn't skip out on quality. You get to have your cake and eat it too. Even if it was priced at $150, I'd still find it reasonable for the performance / build quality. To quote sootch00 "Thumbs waaay up!"

Pros:
-Weight... Pretty much close to the real thing (unloaded)
-Power... Goes through ceramic and denim
-Realism... Gets 90%+ stuff right
-Ergonomics... This particular Elite model is shaped after the Beretta Vertec grip i.e 1911 grip angle and a bit slimmer than your usual M9 / 92FS clones. If you're looking for a Beretta airsoft pistol, I highly recommend the Vertec frame such as this one. In fact, it's what pushed my decision over the other models.
-Price... $80 during the Christmas promo period; 'nuff said.
-Trigger... Very smooth double-action. Pull weight is very light which aids in accurate breaks.

Cons:
-Sights... They are fully blacked out. I had to paint them using white nail polish to get a makeshift three-dot system.
-Orange tip... Painted on. Can't really scuff it off or else the barrel finish will also come off. Some ingenious manufacturers use glue or make a separate piece so it can either be heated and removed or dremeled off. Paint is a dumb solution to satisfy legislation because it means the end-user cannot remove it.
-Trigger... The single action has a click / grit on the first pull that is so characteristic of airsoft DA/SA mechanisms (present in a lot of other 92 variants and various manufacturers). Thankfully, the lightness of the overall pull more than makes up for it. Not a big deal overall.
