WE-Tech Full Size Gen2 GI 1911 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol (Color: Black / Gas)

"GREAT GUN!
Recoil is nice and crisp, when you rack the slide, it gives you that satisfying clack that just sounds amazing. I got 3 mags with this, the easy load design is amazing, the loading spring gets locked, never falls out and snaps up, its perfect and easy to use. Orange tip is unusually easy to remove, which was great for me. Sort of dry out of the box, you might want to lube it a bit. No markings really aside from ".45 ACP" on the ejector port part of the barrel. Grips are obviously plastic but they still look nice and serve their purpose. The metal that this gun is made with is superb, no complains cosmetically. I disassembled it and saw nothing wrong, everything looked great, strips down just like the real steel. there were a couple flaws though that i hope are going to work themselves out. The safety is extremely stiff, i can't engage it with my thumb and i am not a weak person, the thing is almost stuck there but after a long day of playing with the gun, i think it's starting to loosen up. Also, when i'm firing, i've noticed the slide will randomly lock back even though there are bb's still in the mag. not much of a problem, i keep my second hand on the gun as well so its just a matter of flicking my thumb. I've HEARD that rapid firing this thing will cause it to freeze up and just stop firing so i tested this. No problems whatsoever, ran through the whole clip without any slowing down in fire rate. The hop up is accessible by removing the top half of the gun, and it's a wheel hop up so it's fairly simple to adjust. Overall, I am in love with this pistol!

Pros:
Crisp blowback
Quality metal
great mags
easy loading feature
works like a charm
Looks AMAZING
Easy to adjust hop up
Realistic Field strip
Orange tip comes off
80 bucks???? STEALLLLL


Cons:
Safety (probably going to solve itself)
Slide locks back(wtf?!)

Overall, a really great gun, and for 80 bucks, the Pros outweigh the Cons.

"Straight out of the box it's a pretty awesome gun. The chrome finish it's mirrored as you might expect, but it's still a killer shiny silver. Loud and fairly accurate (as well as can be expected for an airsoft pistol) with a satisfying kick. Feels solid in the hand, and the action feels a little "grainy" but sounds almost like the real thing. If you're like me and you've been spoiled by checkered front straps and beavertail safety levers then it may feel a little weird as you operate it, but everything is in it's place and functions as it should. Overall, it looks too good to be carried around in fear of scratching the finish, but this is the kind of gun you buy as a display or as a prop, not as a field gun.

Pros:
-Solid construction.
-Looks BAD@$$!
-Includes second magazine.

Cons:
-To pretty to take into the field.
-"Chrome" finish isn't mirrored, but shiny enough to take away tactical implications.

"Purchased this pistol from Evike in the summer of 2009 and it has performed well, but wares down quick. The only part I've had a problem with is the magazine catch. It snapped in half when I reloaded, but couldn't find any replacement parts any where. If Evike could release this part soon, or some one could post a link, that would be great. Since the part is made out of "pot metal," welding or soldering won't do much good. HELP!

"i purchased this pistol about 6 months ago and it was the best money ive spent in a long time. the gun was very balanced but was just a tad heavier than the real steel version. very solid gun, yet filling the mag was a bit challenging. the two mags a an awesome feature. NOTE: this is the caspian version so it will come with the stupid "caspian" markings all over it. that was probably the only down turn. the colt has a small kick, though nothing compared to the real steel version. FPS was ok, coulda been stronger. during the summer DONT let anyone who sweats a lot hold this gun becuz the grip safety paint will chip away. i completely disassembled the pistol to single parts and its pretty simple. loved this gun alot. too bad my parents dont think so :( if youre a fan of plain 1911s, then this is a good quality gun!!!

"I've owned this gun for about a year now and it works just fine. The mags are leaky, but that is my fault for not warming them up to room tempature before shooting(what do you expect for a 13 year old). So, here are the pros and cons of this gun.

Pros:
Hard Kick
Good FPS
Two Mags
Full Metal
High Detail

Cons:
Plastic Grips
Stupid Orange Tip(I guess that can be a pro too since its the law)
No Trademarks(Its not a Tokyo Marui but still)
Well thats it i guess.....

Overall this is a very good airsoft gun. I would not recomend this for beginners. Or if your just a collector looking for a good model this is a gun for you. Overall I'll give the We-Tech M1911 a 4.5 out of five.

"This gun really deserves 4.5 stars. Very heavy and realistic feeling pistol. Unscrewable orange tip. VERY satisfying cocking sound and feel. Short trigger pull for fast ROF. Excellent hop up. Accuracy is amazing off the walls especially for a pistol. Ballin' looks. Now for the -1/2 star. Very cheap plastic grips. Magazines could be a little better (sometimes they only shoot one or 1.5 clips on one charge of gas). Gas valve is very deep in the mag making charging quite difficult. My metal (very weak metal apparrently) barrel bushing snapped after only having it for about 7 months. Other than that no other problems and I use this gun alot and have dropped it a few times.

Pros:
Feels good
Easily unscrewed orange tip
Cocking is good and metalic sounding and satisfying
Short trigger pull and very capable ROF
Good hop up
AMAZING accuracy
Good looking modern or classic pistol

Cons:
Cheap plastic feeling grips
Not great magazines (not too shabby though)
Very difficult to charge magazines
Metal is apparrently relatively weak (see above)

"-THIS- pistol is very realistic heavy and everything and its a great gun! Im selling mine because it never has enough gas to finish off the last bb and lock back and gets reduced power the last about 4 bbs, but if you dont put as much bbs in its not a problem.

"Excellent GBB. Hits hard and is very sturdy. A bit of a gas hog, but if it's your sidearm you shouldn't have to put too many rounds through it in any given skirmish. Gun is very true to real steel. I put Hogue rubber grips on mine, looks great. Highly recomended.

"this is not a great pistol on its own, but with a few upgrades it can match a marui 1911 without having to spend as much, plus its got a decent metal body.

"I shot my firends and it shot very hard and had a crisp recoil. One good thing about this deal is that you get two mags for the price of one. it is also full metal constructed.

"Gun worked well, but both the mag that came with the gun and the spare leaked.

"It shoots... my magazine broke, and after a pin fell out, the trigger would get stuck under the slide. Also it runs through gas really fast, and it's hard to get thicker nozzles into the magazine port. But....it shoots, so there's that.

"A great indoor gun that scores 3 out of 5 for it's inability to be heavily used outside. The internals are temperamental and with the tiniest bit of dust or great, the slide will lock up. And let's be honest, we're not thinking about our sidearms when we're diving for cover or crawling through ditches.

However, in indoor and CQB environments, this gun shines. It's got a solid blowback and decent gas consumption. With an extra mag thrown in, this is a deal CQB players shouldn't pass up.

"My pistol came in today, loaded it up with C02 and BBs, shot it 3 times (very loud), and the internal nozzle snapped in half and the front half flew out of the chamber. I didn't even know what to say, still don't know.

"I’ve heard so many good things about this gun and was so excited to finally get this pistol, I must have just gotten REALLY unlucky for I’ve heard this is one of the most reliable pistols. That’s why I was so surprised to open the box and to immediately have a leaky magazine, I was able to get that fixed and the gun WAS working great... then the hammer broke it now shoots one shot then the hammer either doesn’t go back all the way again so I cant fire it again OR it does a triple burst. I’m not giving this a 1 because I know this guns reputation is great and when it did work I was amazing.
