Blackwater BW1911 R2 Reviews

My first airsoft purchase and a very successful one.

None I can think of.

Very realistic pistol, accurate and quality made.

I have several 1911 models with the same drop down mags and they all work consistant the finish on this model and my remingtonsare definitely a plus but this gun and my Sig on my chrony registered 356 fps pretty consistently.Great buy.

Nothing

Don't expect more than 65 shots per co2;and safe shooting.

Wow what a nice gun looks and feels good in your hand l like the double safety the one thing that is a little tough is loading the magazine but with time you'll find ways to make it easier.

The loading of the magazine.

I waited two mouths be for I got this gun waited to long wow what a nice gun can't beat the accuracy and for being a blow back it's good on co2 very nice feel to it .

the magazine is something to get used to but I read the reviews and got the hang to it

the magazines are to much money go down on the price I hope

Wonderful gun. I'm shooting mostly blowback bb guns now. I started and found I like them. This one for me is second only to my Colt Commander. Great feel, great performance and accurate. As I usually note this is a smooth bore bb gun but it's still very accurate. I shoot indoors at about 10 to 15 feet. This will hold your shots to a descent group.

Very little.

Excellent pistol.

This pistol is a riot to shoot. The safety, sights, weight, mag release and blow back slide all make it feel like a 1911 firearm. Great trigger and accuracy make it a pleasure to shoot. Keeps your shooting skills sharp. I shoot it in my basement at 25 ft. into a cardboard box with stick on targets and a pillow inside box to keep BB's from bouncing back.

I get about 65 good shots before accuracy falls off. Could get a few more shots (10-15) if you adjust for the drop as the co2 pressure go down. All and all not bad. I get the co2 cartridges for about .50 a piece.

Very accurate gun. It is very easy to shoot from the very first shot. Everything feels great about the gun.

The blow back action is pretty strong and uses a lot of co2 so you don't get as many shots out if a cartridge as some other guns. Buying an extra mag is a good idea for extending shooting time without swapping co2

This gun fits my hand like aglove great weight looks like the real 45. it is well out together very tight slide no loose parts .Great blow back .takes a few clips to find out how it shoots i enjoy this gun very much.four clips to 12gr co2 not bad

a full size magazine

it,s diffacult to load bb,s in the clip. but still worth the time fun to shoot.buy it cant go wrong.

Great weapon and much akin to the better 45's [or 1911's] out there with good weight and an excellent feel.

On ALL 45's or various AIRGUN manufacturer 1911's, an ADJUSTABLE rear sight would be really nice! True, the airgun models do have the under the barrel rail ==but== that can become impractical when you want to holster the weapon! Think about it!

Many clips of this type see users talking about the old fingernail spring-holding thing while getting those BB's into the clip horizontally ==but== the retention spring CAN be held by the clip retention spring but it takes a little practice! Have a small screwdriver handy and ==gently== bring the thin metal piece down to the very bottom of the clip and it should 'catch' on the left OR right side allowing you to then insert the BB's without trying to hold the spring down at the same time. Step two -- when you insert the BB, push the BB straight into the horizontal located BB hole AND AT THE SAME TIME you push the BB in push UPWARDS and the BB will go in there much more smoothly. When you're finished, move the spring retainer off its holding notch within the clip so it will return to its normal pressure against the inserted BB's. Practice with it since it beats the classic left fingernail holding of the spring with the right hand BB loading and fumbling therein.

Great gun, all metal construction and by far the best trigger pull in it's class.

The magazine loading his horrific even though I mastered it quite well. The spring catch is horrible and needs improvement

This is one of the better blowback BB pistols on the market. The Tangfoglio gun are comparable since they are manufactured by the same company. They have the same magazine issues. Overall this gun should be in your collection.

my first air gun so am learning as I go here gun came without any kind of guide or owners manual so I went threw a few common screw ups ,at first it ate air .so I learned to be quicker and use the oil, gun or me has a malfunction now and then ,and my groups ain't real good ,the lack of adjustment on the sight sucks, clip can be a pain to load with my big paws, BUT all in all this is a good gun for the money. think I well be buying a berretta next

put a user guide and make sights adjustable the clip needs a small modification to hold the spring down while loading but at $34 a clip am holding off taking it out to my work shop. as for the co2 loading their are much better ways than being quick with and allen wrench,

some of what is wrong with this gun is me I am sure ,have not shoot much in the last 40 years or the 10 years before that and not sure if co2 are all the same out of same box I get any where from 1 to four clips per tube. the oil is a must, my opinion ain't worth much my eyes ears and fingers are all not what they were I like the gun over all and it meets all my expectations after the learning curve anyway.

The feel of this gun is substantial. Everything is functional and solid. It shoots great but keep in mind it is a bb gun. Definitely one of the favorite in my collection.Well worth the money. Love it.

Nothing as of yet, time will tell.

EVERYTHING about KWC 1911s is TOP QUALITY! I got the Witness 1911 at Xmas time, and absolutely fell in love! So when i saw this "modernized" version I patiently waited for it to be in stock, and jumped on one! I got it and it was everything i expected! Great build, All metal construction, good rail space. I cant recommend this gun enough!

UM?.... maybe a cover for the charge screw? thats all i can think of!

BUY IT... great look, top quality KWC construction, nice recoil, awesome look! Aftermarket MAGPUL 1911 grips fit on with minor dremel tool work (the handle frame is slightly bulged out to accommodate the Co2 capsule). The white safety warning on the side (UGLY)can be "taken care of" by sanding with 1500 and then 2000 grit sand paper VERY LIGHTLY! this will remove some of the black paint, flat black Krylon and taping off the rest of the gun, matches perfectly!

Awesome quality gun is heavy and liteally feels like the real thing.great trainer.it hits hard for 300fps.

Nothing.gun is sweet but could use softer grips.

Gun failed to load bbs.the slide would stop short of locking foward until I popped the mag out.it did this every shot with no visible reason or fix.I returned it and the new one is flawless so far.pyramid air rocks.best customer support I've ever seen anywhere.and they work fast.I'll never buy another gun anywhere else.

Nice bulk and metal. Makes it feel better to shoot and aim.

The way the CO2 goes in is garbage. You need to twist the bottom screw in so hard that it made the metal puncture pin indent. So I only got about 2 shots off then the CO2 just pops all the gas out and its done..

The balance and weight of the gun are great. the fact that it actually breaks down just like the real thing is a great plus. A lot of fun to shoot. sights are very good. trigger pull was smooth. Accuracy was good, not great, but good. (same as the real thing)

the thumb safety was not so good. very loose. would go on or off with the slightest bump.

great gun for the money. would definitely recommend it

The realism. The all Metal. Reload works well. The trigger pull. The color. The feel. It works well.

Reduce CO2 consumption.

You will enjoy shooting this gun.

I like the feel of the gun and the way it looks.

I would not change a thing about this gun.

Cool rendition of a tactical 1911. Pretty much the same as the tanfoglio witness except ambidextrous safety, grips and tac rail frame. Overal great realistic replica gun.

Nothing

Pleasant "Quiet" demeanor (Would NOT work!)...the BW logo is nice.

Would arrange the internals in a manner to allow the gun to function.

The piece I received appeared to have been used before (various scratch marks...maybe under-going a failed repair?...AND perhaps why it was sold as a combo-pack with free BB's $ CO2?
