Describe Yourself: Experienced

I did alot of research and comparison to only find that this SW1911 always came out on top.
I loved just about everything about this gun. It has a lot of metal in it and wieghs in around 1.8lbs. The locking slide is good to let you know when you're dry and the full metal magazine adds alot of weight to it. I especially like the tactical dot sights, which I painted with glow paint, because they work very well and the gun is especially accurate. The 288fps with .2g BB's is excellent for a spring gun. When you're shot with it, you sure feel it. Just make sure to buy an extra mag, as they are only 12 rounds each. And, it's always fun to reload, so buy an extra anyway.

I swapped out the plastic grips for real Colt poly grips with Punisher logos on them.
This gun is awesome.
