pros: it has good aim ,it has wait to it, shoots preity far


cons: can't agust hop up

"I bought a couple (Avengers Vigor Series Heavyweight Airsoft Spring Pistol (Model: 1911 / Blue)) to get a feel for Duel-Wielding. It was rather amusing having some kids come up to me in awe, until I'd tell them they were simply "Springers", then they'd just stare at me like 'bruh' ... anyways.

These pistols (or at least the ones I bought) are good at what they are, you'll get what you pay for. They're sturdy, and fun to finger-spin with due to the weight inside, making them satisfying just to hold altogether.

If you're looking to try at how it feels to use a pistol, or looking to have a simple spare on-hand for yourself or a friend, I'd recommend these.


PROS:
• Surprisingly sturdy (there's a lil' magazine-shake, but other than that it's a solid build).
• Fun designs to choose from~
• Decent price for what it is, I personally didn't feel ripped-off.
• Decent FPS for a Springer at this price.
• Great for finger-spinning practice/tricks (*I know it's obvious, but try not to finger-spin when it's cocked/primed, these don't have Safety Modes and the triggers are very sensitive, sensitive to the point I recommend actually keeping your finger off the trigger until you see a target you're wanting to take a shot at.)

CONS:
• Magazine is plastic, so it could break if you're not careful with it. Hold down the spring with your thumb while you load it, and gently let go once it's full.
• Not always accurate. (I've watched a couple of my shots randomly go left or right.)
• Sometimes the BB will fall out of the barrel after cocking, leaving you with nothing to shoot.
• Cocking back the slide is difficult.
___ If you're a kid or someone who may not have a lot of strength, be prepared for some difficulty when loading these, I'd say it's a little more challenging then a plastic foam-dart gun, so be weary if you've got your eyes on this. I recommend wearing rubber/friction gloves when using these during a match as to not run down your skin.

FUN TIP:
It's been mentioned a couple times I think already, but !
+ Cocking this weapon more than once will build up a few BB's or more inside, and once you fire, it'll act like a mini low-FPS shotgun blast.

NOTES:
- The trigger hammer does NOT activate the shot nor can be used to cancel a cock/load like a traditional firearm.
___ To cancel a cock/load, firmly pull back the slide mechanism and hold it there, hold down the trigger, and gently slide it back, and then release the trigger. You'll lose a couple BB's by doing this, but it's helpful to know when a match is over.
- The "Safety" Ramp acts as a load-halter, NOT a trigger-halter.
- The "Slide Lever" that pulls up on traditional handguns when a mag is empty does NOT function on this Springer, in fact, it's just an imprinted shape, having no functionality whatsoever, it's just for looks.


Overall a great start for getting to know an Airsoft pistol for just ~$20, yes it's a Springer, but hey, that'll mean nothing if you're the one pulling the trigger on your target first.

"I got the 2011 Compact model and it is one of the nicest spingers I have used. It is very accurate for a springer, very sturdy, and as powerful as some larger springers around the same price. As a bonus you can rack multiple shots at a time for a "shotgun" effect. And the best part is that if you get a long rod like a piece of a clothe hanger, you can use it as a ram rod and manually load it through the barrel, which effectively gives you a cheap flintlock.
