Everything about this gun is perfect, the accuracy, the balance, the weight, the "feeling" of a real 1911. However, the only downside of this gun is it can only shoot around 48 - 55 rounds per CO2, which is a little bit less than I expected (~70 bbs). But overall, this is definitely a masterpiece everyone should own. And thank you JC for the detailed review, love your 5 stars series!!

Just a quick update about my jamming issue. I ran almost three clips through it at a steady pace With almost 0 issues. I would say that my issues I was having when I just received the pistol was user Error. If people are having some issues loading the pistol clip. The easiest way to do it is just to place the Bb on the rail. And then slide it into the BB receiver. You do this by turning the clip upside down. It's one at a time, but it works For fat Fingers lol I also purchased some glow in the dark site paint,green, It's awesome!

You know what would make a good video, in my opinion, it'd be a talking video without a lot of shooting, unless you wanted to do a quick plinking session with each. Anyway, it'd be a runthrough of all the KWC 1911 pistols you have: your favorites (after customization and fresh out of the box), the advantages and disadvantages of each in comparison to the rest. Basically, it'd be a video on the KWC platform in the 1911 form factor but as a comparison of all the ways the various companies have asked KWC to spec out their product.

Thanks again for another informative review JC. I apologize for the late comment. Does anyone make a 1911 besides KWC? I recently got a Sig Sauer Emperor Scorpion and it has some of the best fit and finish I've seen on an action pistol . It's of course another KWC made platform but it can be completely torn down like a 1911. I am more and more impressed at how accurate a smooth bore BB gun can be. Take care JC and have a good week!

@AirgunDetectives 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Buddy, there are several 1911 models out there but KWC has the most realistic foundation out there. Most of the airgun manufacturers realize that so instead of reinventing a new concept they add their cosmetics to that foundation. I have a few more that I will share and several others that are unique. Realistically, there are really only a few 1911 foundations, KWC being the most popular and realistic. I haven't looked at the Sig Scorpion but it looks like another using the KWC frame. The Spartan is a different foundation which is more of a partial blowback and has the same structure as the Winchester 1911 those are made in Japan. The KWC comes out of Taiwan. I appreciate you tuning in as always 👍

Hi JC. Nice gun, but I'm not ready to risk, as you said, "getting the luck of the draw". I've gotten several pistols that did not have adjustable sights and no rail, that were up to 6 inches off center at 30 ft. These guns are just made too quickly. And that's ok, I mean how much does a real 1911 cost ? But if they would only spend a few more cents on a rear adjustable sight ! This 1911 doesn't have an accessory rail either, so not for me. JC I love your show, I've seen all episodes, I'm sure that you've mentioned this sight problem to manufacturers already. Thank you !

Had this issue, the follower sometimes rocks around inside the gun and sticks out just enough to get itself stuck inside the gun. First disassemble your magazine, there are two screws holding down a panel at the bottom of your magazine. Once you get the panel off, pull out the spring carefully. Lock the slide of the gun back. You should see your magazine inside the gun, and should also see the magazine rib, where the bbs come out from and get chambered by the gun. Make sure there are no bbs inside the magazine. If there are, use a small screwdriver to push them out or cycle the slide and aim the gun upside down with the barrel facing the floor. Now, take your small screw driver, and stick it down into the magazine rib hole. You may need a long slim screw driver. If your screw driver stops falling on the way down into the magazine, you found the follower. Keep pushing the follower down until you free it.

I have one of these. It's decent for what it is, and what it cost. Nothing spectacular about it. I got it because I can no longer afford to shoot my real 1911 due to the insane cost of ammo. However, that brings up what I consider to be the main negative of this gun, and that is the cost to shoot it. This is NOT the best gun for actual target shooting or plinking. The blowback action does give you a more realistic experience, but it wastes enormous amounts of CO2. If actual shooting is what you want, then get a non blowback gun. You will get WAY more shots from a CO2 cartridge. I do enjoy shooting this gun, but, just like my real 1911, I can't afford to shoot it that much. I am currently looking for a non blowback pistol for actual target shooting. Without the blowback action, you should be able to get around 100 useable shots out of one cartridge.
