EMG x Salient Arms International 2011 DS 4.3 Airsoft Training Weapon (Color: CNC Full Steel Limited Edition Semi Auto / Green Gas / Gun Only)

"Just to be funny. I told y'all I'd buy another one. So small update on a few things. Nozzle might need regular maintenance to perform well long term, but through small mods and heavy use I busted a nozzles feeding nub off running co2 through it mag after mag seeing how it handles when it freezes up. Eventually I wore out bbu and it would catch and hang on the hammer, and I could not smooth it out for it to function. I did manage to find replacement parts. 10 out of 10, I bought again lol

"The low-key best pistol you can buy on the market hands down. Beats my 600 dollar custom marui extreme out the water. But you gotta do a few things, and I think I'm gonna answer all the questions. The mag release is horrible like awful super bad. You shave down a steel mag release in there and you are set. Next yes you can add a tracer unit...however you gotta drop in a new barrel. I did, and used a thread adapter so I could fit a 5.1 barrel. IF YOU CHANGE THE OUTER BARREL YOU MUST CHANGE BOTH THE HOP UP TO A TM STYLE AND A DIFFERENT SPRING GUIDE END TO ONE THAT DOESNT TOUCH THE BARREL.
I short stroked it with a cowcow buffer kit
And grabbed some CO2 mags

The gun is scaaaary in full auto. Shoots so fast and hard on CO2 the smart target can't register the hits fast enough

Tldr: few mods make this gun shoot faster and harder than a TM extreme, it takes CO2, you can tracer, and hpa
11/10 give me another so I can dual wield

"got this in the BOA clover edition. Was extremely bummed we got two pistols but I fell in love w this gbb. I have nothing negative to say so this is what I really like about it.

The GRIP feels good in my hands I wanna say I Have medium to small hands and I can maneuver the pistol however i feel. I'm also a lefty so the slide release is easier for me but when i practice with my right hand i can reach the slide release as well. I like the gold barrel and it hasn't rubbed off yet and this is me with blowing like 1000 bbs so far in it. The SAFETY is just like the real 1911's where you need to grip it properly to shoot, meaning its safety is on the back of the grip which means it'll only fire when you grab hold of it.

"Pros- fps,
range
gas efficiency
fire rate
Sight picture is clear
Silver looks amazing (satin/media blasted finish)
Cos-
“Gold” finish comes off after a mag or two
Rear sight does have tiny amount of wobble
Shipping is kinda slow during the COVID-19

Overall this pistol is great but it needs a little bit better quality control
I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt and say this pistol is worth it!!

"The 2011 DS is a very robust and has a hard kick very accurate love all the marking glad I pick this up to add to my Airsoft Arsenal it's very well built with alot of feature like the real steel I'd recommend it to anyone thanks Evike for designing this gun ....

"won this in a box of awesomeness, gun feels good in your hand has a nice weight to it, had no problems when testing it out fired straight and powerful. easy to load and gas up. thanks Evike.

"I have owned this gun for over 12 months and it still never fails me. I have dropped it, smashed it into walls, had dirt and dust caked on and in it, but after some thorough cleaning, its as good as new. I have never had a single problem with this gun !

I highly recommend this gun if you're looking for something that will last you a very long time, that is robust, and that can effectively reach a short to mid range with amazing accuracy.

"This pistol is WOW! Feels real, finish feels real, shoots amazing!

"I have been using this pistol for about 3 months now and here are my thoughts.

Pros:
Well made, by far the best I have used and fired when it comes to Airsoft.
Shoots consistent, accurate.
Good range

Handles well.

con: None

"This is an amazing piece of arsenal to add to your treasure chest of tools. This pistol is so nice it will make all your other pistol and your friend's pistols look bad. For reals.

"Ok so first off this is my first Gas Blow Back pistol.

I won this in the Players Choice box of Awesomeness, and I have to say it preforms as well as I could expect. The Gas mags have a good solid feel to them and they hold gas very well usually there's enough left in the mag for 3-4 additional shots.

One caviot, WE Hicapa mags DO fit, but you will need to modify the base plate on the in order for them to slide in enough to fully lock in place.

"This is by far the BEST GBB I have ever owned. Right out of the box, it shoots super accurately, and is extremely gas efficient, I got around 1.8 mags worth of gas for around 8-10 seconds of WE TECH brand green gas. This gun is also extremely good looking, it has all the correct markings and trademarks that a real SAI 2011 has, I think it's worth every single penny! My setup, includes an ACE 1 ARMS RMR sight from JKARMY, and a Olight PL-2 Valkyrie Tac Light, this is one of the only lights I know of that will fit this guns rail, These kinds of Hi-Capas are known to have rails incompatible with most attachments. That's all I have to say, it's a great gun IMO just buy it if you have the money, its perfect, the internals are great, the accuracy and range is great too, it's a beast of a pistol.

"It shoots great and it's gorgeous.

What else do you need?

"Hi,
Before this pistol came along, you have to spend a lot of money to build a SAI pistol replica. Going in, I wasn't expecting a good quality pistol because of its relatively cheap price VS the SAI aftermarket build kits. Boy, I'm so happy to be wrong! First off, this is OEM by AW Customs. The build quality is very good, metal parts, reinforced internals and all. Performance wise, the Hi Capa model of pistols are high performing. This EMG/SAI Hi Capa is no different. Mine shot between 320-340 FPS on .2's. It shot very hard and crisp, should I even dare say Marui-like. Yes! It's that good. I'm also happy to say that it didn't come with any other trades other than the correct, beautifully engraved SAI trades.

In conclusion, if you're a SAI fan like I am, you better jump on this pistol. Sure, it's pricey but you're paying for a beautiful pistol with SAI trades, metal parts, reinforced internals. No need to upgrade anything. Still CHEAP compared to building one from scratch. Great job here EMG! Now, let's build the BLUE GUN.

"It's an awesome pistol!

Pros:
-well weighted
-attention to detail
-powerful
-feels real!
