KJW Full Metal Custom 1911 Tactical HI-CAPA Gas / CO2 Blowback (Package: Black / Pistol)

"Not quite as fully functional as I had hoped (see below), but still a decent pistol. Shoots right at 340 to 345 fps with regular green gas and 0.20 BBs. Accuracy is plenty good with stock components.

My two big disappointments (minus one star each since I have high expectations and certainly expected KJW to be on their game):

As of Feb 2019, the pistol I received did NOT come with the "Hard polymer genuine Tanio Koba grip / trigger frame" as advertised. The grip frame is essentially identical to the one pictured, but there are no trademarks on the smooth stripe on the grip by the magazine release on either side of the grip. Also, it's definitely just hard polymer - no over-molded rubber or Pachmayr-type rubberized grippiness. (That would have definitely been a big plus.)

Less than awesome point 2: You must use the slide stop to release the slide for a reload. Said another way, you cannot pull the slide back and let go (slingshot) to reload. The slide stop is not under any downward spring tension. Once it's up and locks the slide back, it's held up due to the forward tension from the slide and it needs to be physically depressed. For a company that prides itself on realistic design and function, KJW missed this key functional attribute. This was actually a pretty big disappointment for me since it does not match real steel functionality and this is certainly not hard to design in. If you get this pistol, I would highly recommend an extended slide stop to make reloads an easier and faster process.

"It is a really gun but it has its issues. First not the biggest issue but the slide wobbles. I have had It for 4 month now and the first major issue has arrived. The safety has broke on the right side. There is no tension on is and it will randomly get turned on.

"(SORRY FOR IT BEING SO LONG BUT ITS WORTH TO READ THE WHOLE THING) I have had this gun for about a year now. Out of the box this thing was amazing! I loved it . the blowback is really hard (and I don't say that lightly), the mag it comes with slides in the magwell like a dream, And out of the box I didn't even need to ajust the hop up with .20s. The first time I played with this gun i didn't have a primary because mine broke the day before the game i was going to. This thing preformed great as my only gun, it would shoot really far and accurate with ease. The only problem was that later in the day the mags started leaking but i put some silicone in there and it worked fine. After i got home i replaced the seals and it seemed to work fine. Then i inspected it a little more and the slide wobble would annoy me tremendously and so would the mag wobble. But who cares as long as it works fine. So i played another game with it as my secondary and let me say that it was not reliable at all. My primary is kinda long so when i go in bulidings i want to take out my pistol and it fires like 5 shots before it runs out of gas. Game after game it does the same thing. And that's a big deal for me cause if im gonna get a seconday i want it to be reliable so when i need it the most it will work for me. And with other Hi capas this has happened too i guess. i just thought KJW might be different but nope. So in conclusion if you want a hard kicking CQB gun for your primary i would sugesst to get this and tac it out and stuff. it would be cool. but if u need a reliable pistol this is not for u. i would suggest getting the 911 tac by EF of The ACP by APS or a KWA because of their reliability.

"i hate using the review thing for questions. but is the orange tip removeable. i need it for a collectiion. and it needs to look realistic.
thanks to whoever replys
