JG Works Tactical MEU 1911 Airsoft Gas Blowback Pistol (Color: Gold)

"This pistol is great for a beginner, advanced player who tech’s on their gear, or anyone just looking to put together a loadout that goes well with a track suit and a gold chain (obv I got the gold one, actually two!)

The pistol itself is a respectably decent build quality, and although there IS a slight jingling as one other reviewer mentioned, I don’t think it is loud enough to give away your position while playing and it shouldn’t be the reason you pass on this pistol. If you need to feel like youre holding a brick, maybe this isnt for you.

I like that this is field strippable and has an adjustable hop-up, cuz THAT would have been a deal breaker.

I removed the orange tip on the first one I purchased - be warned that although this tip fits INTO the outer barrel like a standard male 11mm adapter would, the female threads on the metal outer barrel are JUST wider than an 11mm thread adapter and any tracer or suppressor will fall right off. My guess is this is either a 12mm thread (dont have one to check, but calipers measure around 11mm) or I scratched the threads removing the orange tip. If you choose to leave the orange tip on, you will need a 14mm clockwise female fitting to screw onto the orange threads (14mm female clockwise to 14mm male CCW adapters ARE available in good airsoft shops).

Fir the price (on sale) I liked it so much I got another to go akimbo.

FINAL WARNING!!!! - JGWORKS tactical meu 1911 mags WILL NOT FIT!! They go halfway in and get stuck. Save yourself the RMA troubles and dont make the same mistake I did when looking for extra mags!!

Many a good pew to you!

"I got the two tone and the gold 1911 and they work great, look good, but they got that metal jiggle which isn't a bad thing but you would wanna hold something that feels sturdy. All in all if you just starting out or you want a work able pistol its a phat bet.

"For the money, I am impressed with the product. Its build makes me think of Army Armament, all metal weight but somehow lighter than a Tokyo Marui. I will probably replace the grips at some point. I bought this gun because of the gold finish. When I got it in the mail, I discovered (and this is one of the main things I like) that the finish is aluminum anodizing from top to bottom (Good Job JG!!!), no ugly WT painted on gold. The frame appears to have a matte finish while the slide appears to have somewhat of a brush finish. The side that was probably laying against the package material seems a little duller , I will see if anodized aluminum polish evens the surface out a little. A quick accuracy test reveals it shoots as accurate as any We Tech, Army Armament or Western Arms and it uses magazines compatible to TM. I am a collector so I cant really give you a battery of reliability or quality tests but if you have ever had an Army Armament, this gun appears to have been cut from the same cloth and I dont see any major blemishes in the finish. My only complaint on this one is that whenever companies decide to do one of these gold 1911's, they always choose to do the one with the accessory rail built into the dust cover, I wish someone would make one with the standard 1911 dust cover.

"Good looking two-tone 1911, nice trigger release.
The "Full metal construction" in the description is a little deceptive, it's a very light weight metal alloy. It weights in at 18.9 oz without magazine and 25.2 oz with magazine.
In comparison to a AW Customs 1911 (NE30) which weights in at 26.7 oz without magazine, 34.1 oz with magazine and much closer to real steel weight.
If you're looking for something inexpensive and the light weight toy gun feel does not bother you then this model might be of interest.
If you're looking at 1911 airsofts as a training proxy for your real steel counterpart then you should look at the other heavier weight 1911 model manufacturers.
