WE-Tech Full Size Gen2 GI 1911 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol (Color: Silver / CO2)

"Amazing gun. Would recommend for first sidearm as it is effective, affordable, and absolutely amazing with looks. If you are l9oking at any other 1911's I would go with this one it won't disappoint.

"Just wanna say, don't listen to the people that say WE-TECH sucks, I've had this gun for about 2 months now, almost 2000 rounds through it, and I have had no issues

pros:
full metal
affordable
easy to take apart
kicks hard
decent fps
low price
mags are easy to find
mags hold gas well
amazing performance
high quality internals
LOUD!

cons
mag spring will break easily
massive gas hog
barrel will sometimes get stuck, making the slide stick about 2mm from normal, but its fine
you will receive hate for having a we tech

its a really good pistol, i would recommend as your first gbb, 20th gbb, or even your 100th gbb
and for $115, sheesh, shut up and take my money

"I’ve had this 1911 for a few months now and I love it. Great quality
and feels nice in the hand. Only had a few issues with it, but other than that I love this gun.

PROS: - very accurate. Compared to other gas pistols that I own,
this one is one the most accurate guns I own.
- very affordable. When I was looking for a 1911 a lot of
them were over $150- $200 and over and that wasn’t in my
price range, but this gun was in that price range for me.
- works like a real 1911. Obviously, WE-Tech really makes
this one really close to the real thing, functions just like the
real thing and shoots really accurate to the real firearm.

CONS: - The magazine. When you insert the magazine, if you aren’t
careful with the force you apply to it, the tab that holds
that holds the spring inside the magazine will break off.
- the gun does come with a threaded barrel, but you have to
remove the orange tip on order to get to it.

Overall the gun is worth getting just as long as you are careful with it and use it properly. I love this gun and if you plan on buying it, it’s a great gun to buy.

"Super good purchase. 100% recommend this gun.

"Got the gold gas version. For a WE Tech, this thing is amazing. Extra mags aren't so expensive so that's a plus. A very loud gun and wonderful blowback action. The glued-on orange tip is a pain to remove. The gold finish is astronomically beautiful. Overall, good job WE. Good job.

"Pros: around 3 magazines per co2 cartridge, loud, hard kick, feeds exceptionally, and slide locks back when empty with no issues.

Cons: gun wobbles just a bit if I shake it around, barrel feels cheap, but I don’t know if it is or not 🤷‍♂️, slide is really easy to cock, and moves easily, but that’s just a nitpickey thing.

Other than that this is a great pistol! Well worth the price and even mags aren’t too expensive even for co2.

"Got the gold one. Looks great, better than in the picture. Came with thread adapter too

"So, i have both the co2 and gas black versions. The co2 feels weighty, shoots very well and the coating is solid and durable. The gas version feels cheap, shoots fine but the metal is weak and thin. It feels like a toy definitely 5 stars for the co2 and 3 for the gas

"I really lobe this pistol, the weekend after i recieved it i used it more than my m4 i love it.

"I have only had this gun for today but i can say that it is amazing it performed really well i bought it from my field as well as one extra magazine as i already have some i would highly recommend buying extras this also did well with my tracer and it feels like it was molded for my hand it got almost through a magazine but first its very cold out second the propane adapter i have is a piece of trash but the pistol is great definitely gonna need to adjust your hopes though it comes with a thread adapter as well and feel fantastic nice kick lots of fun worked effectivley as a primary and as a sidearm in a cab environment i got to play around with it a lot today i read the other three reviews on evike and i think i know why one person had a problem one reason would be that it was super cold when the review was posted another is a bad apple or not using good gas i recommend red gas or propane honestly so far i can't give this enough stars only problem is that it scratches a little easier than i like but then again it might just be me cuz i put it through a long hard day.


Pros
string kick
good gas efficiency
comfortable
fun
intimidating
very accurate
for sale on evoke ( great return policy)
gorgeous
can be spa tapped for pretty cheap
easy to maintain


cons
scratches easy?
will give your enemies nightmares past what is funny
A little bulky on the grip feels like a hicapa
you don't have one



final thoughts buy one already you're obviously interested if you're reading reviews just make the leap maybe get extra mags and be surto clean and refill it the oil is heavier than my grandads evening Cologne. The biggest con is that you don't have one.

"I love this 1911, it's accurate and I love the way it feels. I also love the way it looks so it's a win win. Great job Evike

"I'm a collector and do not skirmish with my air guns, having said that I purchased the silver version and 2 additional magazines for this pistol to do a custom build and to round out my collection of 1911's.

The silver finish is simply beautiful! Not too shiny, not to dull. I've also installed genuine Pachmayr Signature grips, a genuine Wilson Combat Skeleton trigger, a Bull-type bushing-less barrel , and finally a beaver-tail type grip safety. Yes, I put a lot of extra time, effort, and a few dollars into mine and I couldn't be happier with it.

As for gas consumption.. I live in Socal so cold weather really doesn't effect me.. YMMV

"I bought this as my first blowback pistol. I've always loved the 1911 look and feel. The gun works and looks amazing the only issue I've had with it is after the first game the inner barrel seems to shift upwards awkwardly because if the blow back spring, making it catch and hard to pull back for the first. After the first chambering it does fine.
Everyone else has had problems with mags
As long as you don't over fill it will gas or drop it on the playing field then I've had no problems with them.

Pros
-What you get for price
-easy disasembly
-easy to take of orange tip and apply

Cons
- the upper reciver catches on first chamber
-other people have problem with mags (I havnt)

"Great gun would recommend a extra mag, has a lot of hop up with 20 gram bbs so I use 36 gram bbs it is dead on. Adjusting the hop up helps a little but is a great gun

"Very sturdy and heavy weight! They feel great to shoot and I don't see them breaking anytime soon. I purchased two of them and four magazines for a Agent 47 loadout. I immediately replaced the standard grips which feel terrible with American Legend Pachmayr grips. (Yes they are real wood), and two faux silencers. For some reason you need to be very firm on the trigger pulls or else the slide won't cycle completely. It will fire the next bb, but will not rack the slide far enough to lock it if you're out. I have not shot more than a hundred rounds through both so it may just be a break in period for the recoil spring that I have not reached yet.

PSA: The WE magazines do not fit standard hard shell magazine holders!

Pros
-Heavy weight
-Great stainless Finish
-Average 280-300 fps on chrono
-Comes with a 14mm silencer adapter

Cons
-Full stainless magazines with or without the MEU buttpad are expensive at 20 a pop
-Gas efficiency, but it does go through a whole mag.
-Silencer adapter is WE proprietary, and is made of an extremely soft metal. I managed to bend one by hand.

NOTE: Anyone buying this gun and any GBB in particular, pre-lube them before firing, mine came almost dry!
