Product Information:
Out of box, its plain to see that the build quality on this pistol is less than satisfactory. While the metal, and plastics do seem sturdy and durable, the whole gun suffers from seriously bad fit and finish. The first obvious shortcoming I saw was when I pulled the gun out of the box and noticed the enormous slide wobble. In fact, the whole gun rattles as if it were secretly intended to moonlight as a musical instrument. The grip safety is just for show, unless mine came broken from the factory. I was also disappointed when I first took down the gun that the recoil spring and guide were also free to wobble around as they pleased, with nothing to secure them in one position inside the slide. I now know this is common of WE Tech guns, and while this doesn't impede the function of the gun in any way it seemed like the obvious thing to do to me. It just seems that looking over the gun a lot of corners were cut. The gun comes with a white dot on the front sight, with none on the rear sight. This is in keeping with current tactical theory, but I found them to just be bad sights period. After a few months, I have broken the base plates of two of my magazines, and both of the feed lips. The magazine release has also worn down internally and now ejects itself from the gun after a few simple powerstrokes. If you are willing to replace the vast majority of the parts, and you aren't bothered by the incredible rattling, the gun does perform well with kick you would expect of a co2 gun, good accuracy, and decent gas economy (I was averaging 2 magazines per cartridge). On a side note, if you hadn't heard already, the larger dimensions of hi-capas can make them incompatible with most 1911 accessories, so be sure whatever you are buying isn't too dependent on the slim 1911 grip. Wrap around Hogue grips, for instance, are a no go. Injection molded holsters may take a little bit of sanding, or some serious adjustment on a tension screw.

Pros:
Good kick, and shoots very hot. Then again, what would you expect from a CO2 gun? Decent accuracy, and good gas economy.

Cons:
General build quality, and parts life. Expect to be noisy, and expect to replace parts.
