KJW Custom 1911 Tactical HI-CAPA Gas Blowback Pistol
(Color: OD Green / Green Gas / Add CO2 Magazine)

"It was very annoying to take the frame off of the grip but I think mine was faulty in someway as that shouldn’t happen. Otherwise amazing gun and pretty accurate out of the box

"I've owned this gun only a few months, but I have used it quite a bit, using it exclusively for an Entire day of QCB. My experience with the gun during all of this has been very positive.

Pros:
-It's very accurate for a pistol. I've done quickdraw and pistol-only competitions with my more experienced friends, and won almost every time, despite having no prior experience in shooting handguns. It could hit a 10x10 target no problem at about 50-60 ft.
-The magazine has a 30 round capacity, with is pretty darn big for a handgun, and I've nly experienced a jam once.
- The recoil is very good, the best of any pistol I have tried. (I haven't tried many, though, so there is probably a pistol out there which outperforms the KJW in this category.)
- It is very loud, probably about 90 decibels. Great for realism, if that's what you're going for.
- Speak of realism, it's heavy. Although it isn't the exact weight of a traditional 1911A1, it's close. It is clearly not modeled after a traditional 1911A1, as it seems to follow the design of Para Ordinance's P14-45, a double-stacked .45 1911 from the eighties, quite closely. The P-14 was lighter than a traditional 1911, so it makes sense that the Airsoft gun would as well. The upper half of the gun seems to be constructed entirely of steel (minus some of the mechanical parts inside, of course), while the lower half, minus the trigger and grip safety, is made of a very dense polymer. Don't let this discourage you, though, as the magazine is very heavy and makes up for this. To sum it up, it feels like a real gun, although maybe not like a traditional 1911.
-Again, comparing to a traditional 1911, three-dot sights are not something you would find ordinarily, but they are much easier to use, in my opinion. They arrived decently aligned, although I think they could use a little adjustment. The composition of pistol sights does not matter much to their functionality, but the fact that both the front and the back sights are both made entirely of metal says something about the overall quality. The front sight will come a little loose if you shoot it a lot, so be sure to tighten it after a day at the airsoft park to ensure that it does not fall off one day.
-Miscellaneous pros: The hammer functions just like it would in a real 1911, and the CO2 magazines haven't started leaking yet after 20 canisters.
Now for the cons:

-The paint is my biggest con. It's rather thin, and merely setting it down on an abrasive surface will scratch it unless it is done very carefully. You might be able to repaint it, but I don't know. At this point, I don't care enough to do so, the scratches give it character and it's not that big of a deal anyway, it's just that I would expect a little better for the price.
-You will need to oil it occasionally. It comes oiled and the slide is pretty smooth, but you will need to maintain it.
-The CO2 magazines will shoot 400+ fps if they're warm, which could get you into trouble. Also, they won't last very long if you're mag dumping. For normal use, one canister will last about two to three magazine fills (which would mean about 70-80 bbs)
-This wasn't much of a problem for me because I'm a guy with average sized hands, but the grip might be a little clunky for a woman or a child. Though I think the front is a bit flatter, it's only about a tenth of an inch wider than a standard 1911 grip, so it might not be an issue.
-The orange tip cannot be removed, and it's plastic. Tape it or paint it and you won't notice.

Despite these flaws, though, it is a very good gun for the price. My father once told me not to buy something unless I would pay double the price for it, and I would gladly do so for this gun. The quality is that of a gun twice it's price, buy it now if you're looking for a top-tier sidearm.

"Very good pistol. I broke the magazine by dropping it too much. That much is my fault. Otherwise… W pistol.
