"This gun overall is a pretty good gun. When I got it out of the box, it came very dusty. But that's not problem, just blow it. Then my other problem is that when i first shot it, the bullet curved at the end of the shot. I was using .20g bb's. I tried to adjust the hopup, but it still curves. It will still be good for indoor games, but not outdoor. Another bad problem is that when I tried to take the orange tip off, it bent and it broke off, so it was a pain to smooth it out. I had to use sand paper. It sucks that is came super glued. Plus the orange tip that I got with it, it was not a threaded tip. Guess I'm not gonna have a suppressor. When I run out of ammo shooting, it does not lock back when it runs out. That is a major realism problem. Everything else is fine on the gun. If you put all the bad things on to the side, then your gun will be fine for cqb.
Pros: Good weight, nice kick, good ironsights
Cons: Came in bad condition, doesn't lock back when out of bb's, glued orange tip made it a hassle to take off, some color markings are gone like the top ironsight and the safety symbol. :(

"I got this gun a few weeks ago, and it fires great.
Pros:
Great accuracy
Looks cool
Full metal
Threaded barrel
Great mag capacity
Its loud (which make it sound realistic)
Cons:
Sometimes the guns hammer holds down the gas release button that makes the CO2 leak. (Could just be mine)
You need to take out the non threaded barrel before you put in the threaded barrel in Which is really hard
Top slide is a little wobbly
Over all nice gun, although I'm pretty disapointed with the leaking CO2

"I bought this a few weeks ago and it cam in the mail a little messed up.. the box was scratched and ripped up, also when i took the gun out it was beat up the safety was broken the orange threaded barrel was scratched and the paint was chipping off, also it didn't come with the two WE logos on the side of the gun. And there was No sample packet of BBs which i don't mind because they are usually garbage. When i got to shooting the gun i was surprised it shot very straight and the hop-up needed no adjustment, it was shooting hard and straight, so over all the internals were good, just the externals were all screwed up.
PRO:
1. Shoots hard
2. Shoots straight
3. Has a great weight
4. Mags feed well
5. Fun
CON:
1. Packaging was all beat up
2. The gun was scratched (the orange threaded barrel)
3. The grip safety cam broken along with the normal safety
4. The mags wobble alot
5. No WE logos on the grip
6. Didn't come with BBs ( i don't mind that )
Over all pretty good gun i would say its ok

"Had this gun for a few years now so thought I would review it. Very good looking GBB, looks a lot better then it does in the picture. Very durable as well. The only problem is that it is not very reliable on green gas, but runs great on co2 mags.
Pros:
Looks great
Durable
Co2 mags are amazing on this GBB
Cons
Unreliable on green gas
Bottom half is plastic
Co2 mags make it handle heavy when holstered.

threaded barrel (mock silencer ready)
sights are perfect
FULL METAL
cons:
paint scratched to hell(mine came like that)

"Great Gun for beginner has some wobbly parts but most of them stay in place a good gun ve only had mine for a few hours but I put at least 20 magazines through it and no jams overall a good gun.

"The one of the best pistol in the cqb master line up. The safety can break off can get fixed easily. This can use 5.1 mags either. It may sometimes the slide gets stuck back while shooting with bbs you can just silicone around the slide and it should be fixed. It shoots at 290-323 with .20s. Over all this is a good pistol I'd recommend it to any airsoft player.
Pros: Good for $100 dollars
Full metal
Easy disassembly
Cons: Safety comes off easy (can be fixed by tuff on tape)
Slide sometimes get stuck back with bbs

"pretty great gun. the reason i gave it for stars is the beaver tail safety is no longer working. this happened with my 5.1 also. also the slide release has worn down but its a cheap replacement.

"Purchased during the Labor day sale so this $100 gun was 82.50. Gun looks and feels great, functionality was above average and the accuracy was good as well with me being able to shoot a 4" 5 shot group at 40 ft. my only complaints about the gun are the thread adapter for the silencer is plastic and that my front sight tip had no white dot like the rear sights did and the safety levers were a little big making the slide release a bit difficult to reach with my hand in its normal firing position.
Pros:
accurate, looks good, flawless function, and the price
Cons:
plastic thread adapter, front sight no dot, wide safety lever
Overview:
Worth every penny even if I didnt get the 20% off i still would feel the same and dont forget to get the HOLY COW $3 extra mag!!!! I got mine and it was a silver version of the same mag that came with my gun.

"This is my first GBB, and all I can say is wow! It looks and feels like a real 1911, just shorter. I also like the addition of a threaded barrel, so I can install a suppressor if I wish to. It's very good on gas: on a full charge I can get about 65 shots out of it on a 60 degree day. It's super accurate: firing at a cardboard box from 50ft away, I was literally putting BBs in the holes of the last one. Overall, with proper maintenance, this gun will last you a long time.
I'm rating it a 4 because of these faults:
1. Hop-Up is inside gun, so the slide must be taken off to adjust it.
2. After about 5 mags, the grip safety no longer works. If cocked, I recommend using the thumb safety on the slide. If you know how to fix it, props to you.
3. Slide catch only works all the time on one of my mags (got the "Holy Cow" deal with this gun).
I also recommend getting a speed loader, because loading BBs is a real PITA!

"You'll find that this pistol will be more reliable and powerful than a Green Gas one, but like all the other WE's, the magazines they come with will need new O rings. They're cheap though, so don't fret - I think they are in the parts section.
by paulo r. on 07/23/2008
"I have to say is this gun is simply amazing but the only downside is the magazine it leaks sometimes thats why i give it a 4 out 5.I recommend buying extra mags.

"This gun looks great and feels very sturdy.
That being said, it is so extremely inaccurate. The BB's will not hit your target if you are standing more than 15 feet away. If you are considering purchasing this pistol, you are going to have to buy another $100 worth of internal parts to make it perform at a competitive level.
If you want a good base for a custom build, this is a good start. If you don't know how to upgrade your replica, do not buy this pistol.
