Most realistic 1911 co2?

This has been taken from the website covering airguns in Scotland ..... Hope it helps

  • Certain airsoft guns (used for airsoft skirmishing) are not regarded as firearms for the purposes of the 1968 Act. They are fully automatic airsoft guns with a muzzle energy of 1.3 joules or less, and single shot (or semi-automatic) airsoft guns with a muzzle energy of 2.5 joules or less, which discharge airsoft BB 6mm plastic pellets. Airsoft guns with a muzzle energy which exceeds those levels may require a certificate – owners or users should contact Police Scotland for advice.
 
My airsoft KWC 1911 blowback is a version with no trades or hideous white writing on it.
Very realistic looking (I think, but I've not owned a real one to compare) & field strippable.
Even though it's airsoft - it doesn't need a defence as its CO2 powered and over 1 joule in energy.
A little bit of artificial wear and it would be just about a perfect replica I reckon 👍.
The first thing I do on a new gun is paint over any of the hideous white writing.

An airbrush or rattle can works best. - After masking off the surrounding area. In this case (A Glock 19) only the ejection port was painted ...

For some reason it came out of the box like this ...

Look at that write writing! 🤪 Not very authentic looking at all lol. And it can't be lifted off as it's laser etched into the metal slide making it impossible to remove, short of a re-paint.

The airbrush and a colour match does a superb job on bringing these replicas up to spec, or as close as.

More white writing spoiling the Sig Sauer 1911 ...

I do model painting so there's always some suitable colour to hand ..

It's not a question of forking out for one - if I could find one I'd buy it! 🤔

The only problem with steel airsoft pistols is the slides are heavy so the blowback is a bit lethargic. Even CO2 struggles to shift a steel slide back with much force. I've got an all steel Glock and an all steel P226 and they both suffer from this, but they are lovely to play with 😊


The blowback on both my inokatsu and grp recon isnt lethargic at all, it's tremendous, the problem I find is the amount of co2 used to moved the steel slide back and forth reduces the shot count, not that I'm overly bothered about that, as just firing them is great.
