"Great gun for a first GBB pistol.
But there are some issues:

Right safety lever falls off easy. I researched this and found it is a common problem. It doesnt affect the functionality of the gun, but its kinda annoying.
O-ring on the fill valve on the mag is kinda weak. Started leaking after a month of regular use.

Overall its a great pistol. I suggest getting a new fill valve for it simply because it will stop your leaks and its only $5

Great first gbb. it was my 3rd one. 4/5

"I love 1911s. So when I saw this over-the-top, 11" long pistol, I knew I had to buy it. When I opened it I noticed that they used the Styrofoam from WE's "Luger" series, and there was a dent in the box. I continued to unpackage it from the box. I was really excited to shoot it, but more often than not, instead of shooting the bb, it would roll out of the barrel. This kept on happening for while, but then pulling the trigger once would make it go full auto and expel all of the gas. Instead of tinkering with it, I sent it to Evike. When it came back, it used the same Styrofoam, but in a different box, and they replaced the gun. I got it out, shot it, and bbs would roll out of the barrel. Again. I continued to shoot the gun and they now shoot more often than not.

Pros:
-It looks AWESOME!
-It is a WE Hi-CAPA.
-Has an awesome inner-barrel (the length of the outer barrel).
-Mag holds 30+1 rounds.
-Shoots true and far (when it shoots).
-The weight. It feels amazing in your hand.

Cons:
-Obviously the fact that two Hi-CAPAs in a row had the same problem means there may be a design flaw.
-On the last shot of gas the slide doesn't go all the way back.
-The WE mags aren't the best.
-the gun is long, so it hits your leg if you use a standard drop-leg holster.

Overall I think that WE could improve the inner workings, but besides that little hic-up, it is a great pistol.
P.S. Always use a "Holy Cow" special if possible.

"I got this gun a few months ago and was immediately blown away by it. This gun is awesome, the only problem I had was that it did not come with the threaded tip, or any orange tip for that matter. I still love this gun. It is the best GBB I've ever had.

"This gun was not so bad. I've owned this gun for about 8 months, bought it from here and i can tell you that it does not come with the threaded orange tip. At least mine didn't. This gun's hopper recently broke on me, i let my friend use the gun for a 10 minute round and it was his first time using a gbb pistol/ working a pistol that can simulate how a real pistol works, and i told him the basics. Only cock it once, when the slide pulls back and the slide catch comes up that means your out of ammo , etc. So when the round is over he gives it back to me and i shoot it 3 times and i notice that the hopper stops loading bbs into the chamber. Inspect it the next day and find out that the bottom portion of the hopper is not there. so i am not sure if it was his fault or it was just a coincident. So i would assume that the hopper is fairly cheap just from that. I don't think he was like picking up bbs from the ground or anything but w.e.

One thing i don't like is that when i shoot the pistol it feels like the weight of the pistol grip and magazine pulls the recoil downward. Everything else is fine. I let my other friend use it for a round and I didnt realize he was my teammate so i shot him once and he turns around and hits me 5 times with it to my back, and i had those 5 marks for a really long time. This pistol is also pretty loud too.

Pro:
-Loud
-good fps for cqb (roughly 330)
-has night sights on the rear and front iron sights
-can replace the slide since it is a cqb master gun.

Cons:
-the internals feel like they are going to fall out when the slide is pulled back
-some paint was easily chipped off when i left it in my sweaty glove for 8 hrs
-the metal barrel cover piece gets annoying because it makes a clinging noise when moving
- a little heavy (the pistol grip with magazine in)
-cheap hop up
-and the left safety constantly broke off and would not stay on when i tried re-attached it.

"I bought this gun. FULL METAL and real kick. I also ordered 2 magazines with it. Its bad to say that the magazines both crapped out and spit out gas right when i insert gas into them. the guns slide is 2 pieces. The blow back is strong which is great but the front part of the slide not so great. The front part of the slide keeps getting kicked from the blowback and the screw holding it in to the gun, gets loose(causing the part to come undone and loose the screw during a game(happened to me). Without The Piece, the pistol looks bad and cheap. Mags don't work anymore. Great Gun. Could have been built a little better.

CO2 is the way to go for pistols. They're hard to find but the best airsoft pistols out there.

Pros:
All Metal, Realistic Weight, Normal Speed.

Cons:
Slide, Magazines.

"This gun is pretty good

PROS:
~Accurate up to 100ft which is good for a pistol
~Heavy (REAL FEEL)
~Mag holds a lot of ammo
~Doesn't eat gas

CONS:
~Mags break and leak if not treated perfectly
~The pieces are a little loose

Overall this gun is a 8.5/10

Webmaster: All the mags we have now are reinforced and will not leak. The mags will not break unless you drop them like any other gas mag, so just take good care of them and it will last you a long time!

The pieces are not actually "loose", they feel a little wobbly because that's how it creates the hard kick with the slide when you fire. You tighten the screws, but it will not kick as hard because it will make the slide get stiff.
by Gage D. on 01/18/2009
"I just bought this gun and im so glad i made the right choice i love this gun shoots great and the 30 round clip will last if you dont go crazy. I think the only prob is that it comes with only one clip now i havent bought any other pistol but my friends guns came with an extra clip what gives? anyways i personally think that it isnt that hard to reload it so it isnt that big of a prob. In the end i do recommend this gun i've alot of fun with it and im sure whoever buys it will to.

"Outstanding Power and realism, very cool looking. More of a gas hog than most pistols. WE makes some of the best pistols around!
by Drake K. on 08/17/2013
"Pros
Fast ROF (the slide being cut in half reduces the time for the slide to reset)

Decent FPS (most GBB pistols are around the same but this is a little low for the extra barrel length)

Metal upper and lower

Lower rail out of the box

Threaded Barrel

Cons
HUGE amount of wobble on the gun (this is the biggest problem for me out of the box the front wobbles so much was impossible to even sight in, also when the slide is cycling it has higher wear and tear when its not a smooth motion)

Threading on the barrel is not the best and sometimes wont work (can re-thread it fairly easily but you will take off a lot of the paint to make it usable in US)

HEAVY (not unbearable but more than a pistol should be to the point were i would recommend a fore-grip if you are using as primary)

Its not bad but WE makes better guns and some of them are on evike for a lower price than this ($109 right now) the only major plus is the extra length means you can add a long inner barrel without adding a mock suppressor.

I would recommend looking into

"I just bought this gun and it arrived on thursday (3 days ago) i used it yesterday for a indoor field and its great. Great accuracy, u can rapid fire with it, and most of all it is REALLY loud.
There is one problem though, after i used it i went over the gun to make sure it was all ok and found out that the safety on the right side of the gun came off and also the part with the fiber optic sight was very wobbly.
I tried to tighten it but it keeps losening itself
by Barbara O. on 03/03/2012
"So far i have had mixed feelings about this gun... I have only had the gun for 2 weeks and right now its broken. When i put the saftey on, the right side of it comes right out and one day the whole saftey assembly just fell out. The beaver tail safety is also loose. This does not make the gun inoperable but i dont want gun with holes all over the grip from missing safteys/beaver tail safety. Hopefully my local airsoft shop can put it back together for me. Also the nozzle broke on my gun.

Pros:
Looks sweet
slide is smooth
mags hold 30 rounds
holy cow deal gave me another mag for $3
great recoil
decent FPS
accuracy is O.K but that is expected of a pistol
Threaded barrel

Cons:
Safety broke
Nozzle broke
can barely get 1 mag off before i have to fill it with gas again
slide release is to far forward so i have to turn the gun in my hand to reach it (you can get an extended one)

I would have rated this gun 5/5 if it didn't break but maybe i just got a lemon.

"ok this gun is a beast, shoots hard, very accurate, and looks really cool! but once you look past all these things its not as hot. i had this gun for only a month, and the whole gun wobbles... A LOT. the bolts come loose after about 5 shots and i ended up loosing one so the part on the end of the barrel slides around when I shoot it. the gun is a gas guzzler, you can barely get through a mag with it full. it looks cool and it shoots hard but it is just not a good buy for anyone. get a nice KWA if you really want a pistol
