Definitely then the new colt classic

Just ordered this exact one. Excited to try it. :)

Got my eyes locked on the Swiss army one…

Thanks mate, I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.

@@TheonlyReno yeah they’re pretty nice eh?

@@airgunreplicas77 love the looks so far from pretty much every thing you show! Are there any really big drawbacks that I should be aware of? Final thing, would you recommend the SA MRP or a different model?

I’m sure you’ll be happy with the mrp but if that’s the look you’re after I’d highly recommend the Sig 1911 Emperor Scorpion (I don’t think I had one when making this vid which is why it didn’t feature but you can find it elsewhere on the channel). Both are made by KWC so are great 1911 style pistols. That said, the Scorpion is quite a bit more to pay so bear that in mind. The Swiss Arms MRP will be great if that’s the one you prefer. It’s essentially the same gun as the Stainless SA TRS and the Remington 1911 RAC Tactical, all just different finishes cosmetically. Hope that helps and happy plinking!

Thanks for the great feedback. Much appreciated. Each to their own I say. I love the 1911 but I do recognise that they’re not to everyone’s taste. Thanks for watching!

Yeah I’ve wondered about adding some wood grips myself. Cheers mate.

Cheers!

Oh mate what a great one to own!

@@airgunreplicas77 Only paid £200 for it and deliberately never shot it. She gets more valuable by the day 😊

Thanks Steve. Really enjoyed making this one. Yeah the grips are metal and it feels really solid.

I’d love to hold of one. Haven’t seen them in the UK yet I don’t think.

@@airgunreplicas77 I seen in on Amazon and I jumped on it here in this part of the world. And it sold out right away. I hope they get them there and they are kind of tan color. Be safe and have a great day

@@scottmurray4080 Cheers mate. All the best!

Thanks! Wasn’t sure if that was Ferrari.

@@airgunreplicas77 your welcome seem to recall it being called that in the time i subscribed to Guns and Ammo

Thanks for watching brother!

Interesting. I think the grips are quite integral to the whole theme of the pistol though. Have you seen the Swiss Arms Seventies Stainless 1911 or the stainless version of the Springfield Armory 1911. May be right up your street.

Thanks mate. I don't think you'll be disappointed by the WTP. Happy plinking!

Luke,I am your father 😂 forget 1911 get yourself PFAM9B 😂 I mean Laser Blaster 😂 Always get yourself Full Metal gun,steel and polymer don't mix well because it cracks and gun is no Bueno,,,Full Metal NP just lube it,I also have Springfield Armoury 1911 and love it 😍 +Winchester Model 11,and they shoot like a dream with Black Widows BBs... Have Fun

Nice. Hope you get sorted with the WTP version

Nice. Hope you get sorted with the WTP version

I’d love both. Not sure they’re available in the UK as yet though sadly.

Not sure the Winchester is available here but it looks like the Sig Spartan and Max Michel are based on the same design as it. Notable similarities being the way the co2 is loaded, the stick mag, and the extra button on the safety catch. I love the Springfield but again, sadly, I’m not sure they’re available in the UK.

I love my Winchester Model 11, I know the branding is off and the stick mag are meh, would also like to replace the grips BUT the feel, simple kinda classic look, accuracy, and power are amazing. I often shoot it from further than my pellet pistols and the BBs still go into the surfaces far and on target.

I think the Spartan may well be a ‘reskinned’ Winchester. Judging by the mag and the extra button on the safety.

I think so yes but as I don’t have one I can’t confirm. Maybe someone else here can? People?

It’s ok for a BB gun. Plenty accurate enough for some back garden plinking.

I have a review of that pistol on the channel. I love it but it wasn’t released when I made this video unfortunately. Maybe time for a revisit!

@@airgunreplicas77 just watched. Thanks !

Love it! Again, a beautiful simple, clean frame. Nice to have the Colt branding too.

@@airgunreplicas77 yea I was thinking about getting me one but a friend convinced me not to. Instead he recommends the 1911 emperor scorpion. Great video I enjoyed it. 👍

@@MrLWFred Thanks. Yeah the Emperor Scorpion looks great too.

Between 300 and 330 I’d say

I’ve seen it online and it looks beautiful. Never held or used one though so not sure on the quality. I have the Krown Land Combat Master though and like the quality of that so if it’s similar it should be ok.

@@airgunreplicas77 Cheers mate 👍 New pistol on order

@@Andy_Underwood... I'm always jealous of someone else getting a new gun! Enjoy!

@airgunreplicas77 First I've bought in 2 years.. Nice treat 👍

Glad you were able to enjoy the video and I didn’t lose you in the first couple of minutes! Risky business! The ‘beautiful’ 1911 I showed first was just some sub £10 spring airsoft gun i collected along the way. Not even sure of the manufacturer tbh. ‘Hawk’ or ‘Eagle’ something or other…😂

@@airgunreplicas77 Lol.... The only Co2 airsoft pistol I ever bought here in Canada was something quite similar, except it was constructed of clear moulded plastic. It was one of those spur of the moment sporting aisle impulse buys that I foolishly thought might provide some back yard fun for my adolescent son who'd outgrown his interest in his vast arsenal of Nerf Guns that had cost me a small fortune over the previous few years. Buyers remorse was swift when I quickly discovered I could shoot a pea, blown through a drinking straw at twice the Fps of the 'see through' Remington 45. Sigh. No returns regardless of the surgical precision I'd used to extract the useless device from it's cheap plastic 'clamshell' packaging. Double sigh. Fortunately, the experience led us in the direction of Air guns, an activity that has afforded us countless hours of enjoyment on our large rural property here in B.C. My son is now 16 and shoots competitivley within the RC Air Cadets, now ranked in shooting skills as an Expert Marksman. Formaly ranked as a Flight Sgt., he teaches his junior subordinates gun safety & shooting skills. On the downside, it seems our Federal Government in on the verge of passing new gun legislation (bill C-21) that may well see ALL replica airgun pistols and SBR's, (pellet, b.b. & airsoft) completely banned and newly categorized as 'Prohibited Weapons', sweepingly all inclusive to include all sub - 500 Fps airguns which had been previously unregulated. The same legislation when passed will also have broad sweeping affects on the recreational paintball industry. This is what led me to your channel in the first place..... research. In the recent months I've noticed a sharp decline in Canadian retail prices of many airguns, in some cases up to an average of 40%. I percieve this as a sensible attempt of retailers to dump stocked inventory to cut their losses if the worst were to happen. There is NO government buyback program for distrubutors or retailers within the proposed legislation. For me it seems now is the only time I might ever have the opportunity to own a few of the pistols that have been on my wish list. Our past purchases have been made primarily in the interests of cost vs performance & function. Andy of AAR in your neck of the woods has been a great resource in those regards. Your 1911 showcase video confirms your expertise in regard to build quality and collectibility, for which I am grateful. It is a niche that is either elusive or under-fulfilled on the myriad of KZfaq airgun channels I've viewed over the years. If you wouldn't mind, I would greatly appreciate your top ranked 1 - 3 choices (or more if your so inclined) of what replica 1911 you yourself would regard as a 'must have'. (Pellet and/or B.B., no airsoft please). #1 being your choice if you could only own one. Sorry for the long winded comment, but I'm old school and of the opinion that it's my way of acknowledgment for the time and effort you've put into the production of your thoroughly informative and well presented video. Thanks, and best regards from the Great White North.

@@brandonbrook9664 yes I’ve seen that unfolding in Canada. I don’t suppose we’re too far behind here in the UK. So, pressure is on, top 3 or maybe just one that I couldn’t live without…. Hmm this may take some thought. I think my ‘best 1911’ video covers most points although this is an interesting thought exercise and one that I like to indulge in so give me some time to consider and I’ll get right back to you! Best wishes from ‘sunny’ England!

@@airgunreplicas77 All good,and thank you. I appreciate your time and consideration. Just to clarify.... that's top 3 PLUS your #1 that you couldn't live without. Also, do you have opinion on the 1911 Tanfoglio Witness?

@@brandonbrook9664 there are a couple of versions of the Tanfoglio, both called Witness. A non blowback, plastic version and the full metal 1911a1 blowback version. The latter is an excellent replica pistol in my opinion. I think it was the first iteration of the 1911 made by KWC to hit the market. It is identical in all but the markings to the Remington 1911 RAC, the Swiss Arms 1911a1 and a couple of others. Likewise, the Remington RAC tactical is the same basic platform but based on a more modern version of the 1911 with improved sights and a rail. This is also available as the Swiss Arms TRS. All the above are KWC made and are the best 1911’s available with full functionality, good weight and blowback. The best of them is the Sig 1911 We The People in my opinion although I’m awaiting delivery of the Sig Emperor Scorpion and that may give it a run for its money. Watch this space. Check out my video on KWC 1911’s as I think you’ll be happy with any of them and there’s a variety of colours and styles now. As an alternative, the Umarex Colt Special Combat is non blowback and misses some design accuracy with the trigger but it’s still great. More powerful and better use of co2. Plus it looks gorgeous. If you can get over the plastic stick mag, the Sig Max Michel or Spartan are both great too. Not strippable but punchy and heavy guns with some good power and blowback. So, too 3 at the time of writing: 3: Colt Special Combat 2: Sig 1911 Spartan 1: Sig 1911 ‘We The People’ (kwc) For the pure joy of the blowback, weight, the fact you can full field strip and interchange parts, the kwc’s come out on top. I couldn’t live without more than one in my collection . The We The People is the best so far but I also couldn’t live without the more subtle 1911a1 version. Available as the Tanfoglio Witness, Swiss Arms 1911 or Remington 1911 RAC. Hope that helps? Check out my other 1911 vids for a look at the guns themselves.

I prefer the Scorpion 🦂

We The People just because I have broken Springfield Armoury 1911 and mags are not cheap,but your money your choice.
