expensive mags
trades wear off easily




Side Note: MUST READ!
This gun is great , but I had it for maybe 9 months when I came into problems. I found that my slide was getting stuck (I'm not sure how) and it appeared to be getting caught on the hammer. I new that there wasn't a problem with the hammer, but the real problem had something to do with the the buffer tube. It did end up being the problem, like I thought, but the O-ring inside the buffer tube was morphed I coudn't find any replacement part for the gun so I had to melt it back into place. I tried that, the slide would still get stuck after every shot. I believe the the tube is still the problem, but I'm having a teammate look at the gun and have him fix it. DISCLAIMER: Im not saying that this will happen to you Im just saying I'm not the only person who has found this as a problem even though it rarely occurs to people this could happen to you just keep it in mind.

"It was a great pistol but the hop up just kind of stopped working and also the mags can break easily and are expensive

"I had this gun over a year before deciding to sell it. Works okay but not very accurate. co2 consumption is good however could be better. I love elite force but this product is not there best design.

Pros.
looks cool
fps

cons
accuracy
range

"The gun is cost effective and a decent option.....but it cant handle the high wear of co2 ive had three of these the first one the spring guide for the return spring broke completely off....then the second one the upper slide cracked at the front and the metal plate at the front fell out....and the last one during a game the hammer cracked and broke off and it would no longer shoot....the gun has good specs but it has poor reliability and its made of cheap cast iron id spend the extra money to get a more reliable pistol

"My friend and I both bought this and it has had 0 airsoft field use and hardly any actual firing done. Both of ours have broken down or had issues that require it to be sent in and fix. Both of ours have had a different part fall off from the gun.

"I've had this gun for about 2 months before it broke down on me. It was a great gun for those 2 months, until one day in a game part of the hammer breaks off, I glued it back on then the next day when I was shooting in my yard the entire hammer breaks off! I was so mad! I tried to glue it back on again but it wouldn't, so I left it. That was the only pistol I had at the time so I kept on using it. The next game I played the entire gun kept failing, my Co2 cartridge was full, my team mate has the same gun and the mag worked perfectly in his gun! I ended up selling it.

"Nice, until the spring stops working and the piston slides forward. Happens to almost every elite force 1911 eventually. Id reccomend looking at another brand.

"I do not recommend this pistol. When I first got it, the Hop-up was broken. And even after I got it sent back to be repaired, the lever that releases the gas from the mag broke after a day of heavy use. I am severely disappointed, and annoyed of the lackluster quality. Surprised how it is rated so high.

"I was really disappointed with this gun. I had ordered two when it was on sale for $96, and they're horrible. The mags were extremely leaky to the point that they were unusable. After I had them "replaced" they both had the same problem AGAIN. In total I had FOUR unusable guns. I notice most people love this gun but be cautious.

"Don't get me wrong. This gun is awesome. Great feel, great kick, exceptional accuracy. I loved it! I bought 4 extra magazines for it. Cleaned it and oiled it after every match.

But everything vanishes once it breaks. Because you simply can not find any replacement part at any where, even on Umarex website. Furthermore, it does not fit any TM compatible part. In short, there's nothing you can do with it.

And to those who claim if you treat this gun properly it won't break. It's not true. It will break, and will break soon. Let me tell you the reason: the air nozzle stop is not strong enough to handle CO2. If you take apart the internals, you will find that the air nozzle is stopped by a small hump on the slide. The hump on the slide is metal, but the nozzle is plastic. It wears quickly. Once it wears completely, one single shot will push the air nozzle out of the blowback housing and then, jam. You can push it back manually, and fire another shot, jam again.

TL;DR: It is a great pistol. I wish I could give 5 stars to it but it broke, forever. It values 0 to me now.

"Worked for a week, then the slide kept catching on the hammer and wasn't easily fixable. Returned to manufacturer under warranty, they replaced with another one, which had the same problem. DO NOT BUY - WASTE OF MONEY!
