This is a great gun. It is one of the best I have worked with for this price range. It is full metal, aside from the plastic plates on the side of the grip, which I'm sure you can replace for something better. Western Engineering has done a great job with this. Here are some of the features.

-It has two safety features, one being the grip safety, where you can't pull the trigger unless you have a light pressure against the back of the grip, and the other is on the side of the gun. This safety feature can be engaged when the hammer is pulled back, and locks the trigger, slide, and hammer from moving. This is very handy when you have it in a holster.
-This pistol has a fully functional blow-back system, and when your clip is empty, it will lock back with the slide catch.

PROS:

-Amazing feeling, indistinguishable from a real gun.
-Operation is very realistic, especially when it locks back when out of ammo.
-It has a ring at the base of the grip where you can tie a retention lanyard (bungee cord)
-Good velocity, very high gas output (Mine was rated at 335 FPS with 0.2g BB's and green gas)

CONS:

-Due to the high output of gas, the compressed gasses cool very quickly when released. This slows down the firing rate and velocity if fired in very quick succession.
-The orange tip at the end sticks out a bit, and can't be screwed off. It is cheap plastic, nothing compared to anything on the gun. It really doesn't belong :) (easy to take off with pliers, very soft plastic. Just sand down the end if you take it off)

The pros of this gun greatly outweigh the cons, and is a very well designed pistol. I highly recommend this gun to anyone. Just make sure you get a lot of gas!
