Things I liked:The weight is identical to the real gun; I believe it's only a .05lbs + or - difference. When you put a fresh cartridge in the gun, the first two or three shots sound like a .22 gun is being shot... it's a really nice sound and puts a smile on your face ^_^. I found this gun to shoot very accurately, I've been able to shoot at

When you put a fresh cartridge in the gun, the first two or three shots sound like a .22 gun is being shot... it's a really nice sound and puts a smile on your face ^_^. I found this gun to shoot very accurately, I've been able to shoot at a little over 20-25 yards and be able to hit the target accurately. After about 6 clips (48 shots) making shots from 20yards or more will be hard because the pellet starts drifting more and becoming less and less accurate. Things I would have changed:I'd drop the price down some... I also think that the grip-safety could be a little smaller because it seems to scrape up the metal after awhile, same with the slide release...but it seems to just be lead that creates the marks and comes off if you take a cue-tip and wipe it off. Also, it would be nice if they made the slide go back towards you like a real gun and not push forward to put the clip in. It is quite an expensive toy but those are into collecting replica pellet guns, the price shouldn't stop you. What others should know:If you do buy this gun, I'd advise against getting the Crosman Wadcutter just because your not getting the most bang for your buck. They seem to slow down the gun due to the shape of the pellet. I'd recommend getting the RWS Superpoint's because of the shape, weight and it also seems to reach a higher velocity then the Crosman Field Hunting and Wadcutter pellets. I'd also recommend paying the extra $15 and getting the 3 extra clips; but if you get those, be sure to buy lots of Co2 and ammo cause you'll go through it like nothing! If you love collecting guns like this, then buy it! If you're just looking for something to have fun with and get similar results, I'd recommend the Berreta Elite II - higher FPS, a forth the price and still all the fun without the looks.

Things I liked:The weight of this gun is amazing...it is identical to the real gun (I believe it weighs .05lbs more/less). The accuracy on this gun is also remarkable, from about 50 feet away you can shoot and hit a 4" x 8" piece of plank wood, it split the wood after about 3 clips (24 shots) but didn't go through...but that's still pretty damn

If your a good shooter, you can get up to a good 30 yards and it will still hit accurately (within a 1" radius). Things I would have changed:The price...I found $215 to be a little excessive, but I do think it's worth it because of the quality... $150 is what I'd value this gun at. I also think that the slide on the gun should move back not forward on the barrel to make it more realistic... The Colt also doesn't have any railing systems if your looking to equip a laser guide or flashlight; then again it is trying to make a near identical copy of the real 1911 A1 Colt. What others should know:Off of an 8 gram Co2 tank, you can get about 50 shots accurately, maybe 60 but no more. If you decide to buy this gun, make sure you get extra clips and at least a 25 pack of Co2 because you'll go through it like nothing. If your taking this up as a hobby and this is your first gun of choice, I recommend buying something cheaper...perhaps the Beretta Elite II and then if you like that, buy this.
Things I liked:The weight of these is perfect for my Colt 1911 A1. It also destroys wood from about 20 yards away, comes very close to going through a 2cm thick peace of wood and after about 8 shots, it cracked the wood in half. It also goes much faster then the Crosman Pointed pellets. It also seems like it's made perfectly for the Colt 1911

Things I would have changed:Maybe lower the price a dollar or two - but really, it's worth the price so I can't complain. What others should know:
