For realism, the Baikal Makarov MP-654K. Not so much a replica but more like a CO2 variant of the 9x18mm firearm. The MP-654K shares many parts with its firearm sibling and while not the most powerful replica on the market, it will mangle a tin can at 10 metres, which is plenty good enough for me. It will field strip and some are made from ex service pistols.

Smith and Wesson 78G, less of a replica, more of a training aid for the Model 41.
It goes off with a satisfying bang and feels really solid in the hand.

S&W M29 6.5 inch.
Although this is a smootbore it is quite accurate. It has good adjustable sights and I like the shell loading.

It's Makarov MP654K and S&W 78/79G for me too.

For Me glock 17 Gen 5 with Glock Case, Walther cp99 compac Umarex Legends Makarov, Not blowback slide but moves to cock, umarex HK MP5 KDW as pistol, All co2 Steel BB firers
On the Soft side Glock Gen 4, Gkock 19 gen 5 All blowback with full size mags.
A Heavyweight but very true to its Catridge fed Brother, HK USP,Strong Blowback, Ambidextrous mag release, Full size Mag.
Good Value and Realistic, Only downside to fitting a Red Dot is you need the Race style frame bracket.
Avisit to a Good RFD who will let you handle them and find what you like,
And welcom to the Forum.

I love the Colt SAA’s for their iconic profile. I also like any C02 semi-auto that is field strippable, I have a Sig Sauer P226 and while it is a nice pistol it is not readily field strippable, feels a bit flimsy, some of the buttons are functionless and although it is a blow-back version when you pull the slide back manually it feels a bit lightweight and weak. Conversely, I love my Gletcher Colt 1911 a1, it is fully field strippable, last shot hold open on the slide and just feels all round better than the Sig. I would love to see a real steel version of the 1911 a1 converted to C02 bb/pellet shooter.
I have the Gletcher 1911 too, and love it for the same reasons. My favourite though is my 7.5" colt SAA, I refinished it to look a bit more vintage plus its the most accurate pistol I own.

It's hard to pick a favourite but I do like my S&W Target New Model 3 but there again it's not a replica. I do like the replica's from the War years. I think my fave replica has to be my M29 8" not shown.

If you can find one, the Inokatsu 1911 is an all steel 6mm replica made in co-operation with Colt. Superb. I had my doubts about the heavy slide providing snappy blowback but it turns out to be awesome. If you can find one they are well worth the money. I believe that @Cozzamec also has one and can attest to just how close it is to the real thing.

@nikvanorton I didn't know you picked one up?
Yes they are a tremendous pistol, I've had mine a few years now and wouldn't part with it, the 1911 platform is my fave pistol anyway. I don't think people realise the sound and kick from these until they've fired one, the recoil with the proper steel slide is unreal, only my RWA recon steel Nighthawk is similar (which I might sell soon)
Heres my Inokatsu with pearl grips, I still have the original wood ones and box etc

These are both stunning looking examples of the Colt 1911A1. There is something about the crispness of the lines of these that just screams real steel conversions. @Cozzamec I'd love to see the Nighthawk pistol and will keep an eye out for the sales ad although I think, judging from the research I've just done on the price of these items, it could well be out of my price range.

Funnily enough you not the first person to ask me that today! Tho I think it might be spoken for elsewhere.
Here it is:
This is one the most realistic I've owned or own, similar in weight to my inokatsu airsoft 1911, also made of full steel and I think only 25 World wide
The RWA GRP Recon Nighthawk custom 1911, co2 powered, as green gas not powerful enough to move the slide, the kick from the recoil is tremendous, it's also one my most accurate 6mm bb pistols and quite efficient with co2.
