Page 3 - Barra 1911 Reviews

I bought this for me as a gift for my 66th birthday Powerful blowback , accurate , nice Finnish, heavy and good looking replica Very realistic 1911 air pistol. Impressively precise for a BB gun, I can hit a targets from 25 yards away with a practice. All outside controls function like a real 1911 !!!

Just bought the pistol and I was impress on the detail and the build quality. The attention to detail and materials are superb. Highly recommend for shooting training as it simulate the real gun in terms of wight.

This baby is so sweet and feels real! I enjoy shooting this and them vultures hanging out by my wood pile. Happy trails!

My friend owns one and he let me shoot it, I fell in love with it and bought one myself!! It fires amazing, has perfect weight to it and I don’t even need to adjust anything it shoots perfectly!!

+Nice blowback +Accurate +Has a rail for under barrel attachments

Nothing

This replica was 100 times better than I expected. Probably my favorite Barra airgun I own.

Overall well made replica, and I have eight other 1911’s. Good sights with white dots, and reasonably accurate but not the best.

Better reliability. This one failed to fire after a couple hundred rounds. Since it was out of warranty I took it apart and discovered that the grip safety wasnt engaging the transfer bar so in effect the safety was “on”. Somehow the grip spring was distorted. I adjusted the spring and now works again. FYI, I have since tried replacing the spring from a 1911 firearm. Even though they are visually very similar, dimensionally they are not, so they will not interchange. Also, this gun comes apart the same as the firearm, so YouTube has plenty of videos.

I have had a very bad experience with the the extended service/warranty contract company. I didnt purchase it for this particular gun, but for several other purchases. Thankfully, PyraMydAir stepped up and made it right, but they shouldnt have to foot the bill for someone else. My suggestion is if you buy an extended contract you call the contract people and verify when their liabilty begins. Don’t wait until you have a claim and then have them tell you the gun has a one year manufacturer warranty when it is really only 60 days. They (the contract company) won’t change it. As I said, PyraMydAir stepped up. Thank you, James.

Most people buy blowback replicas for it's realism and function. Out of the many that I have collected through the years which mostly if not all sadly ended up just for display now. (Should've just bought the non-blowbacks...much cheaper.) Anyway, only two survived...(I can't mention the model nor the company maker here). Did I say two ?
Well now it's three. This Barra 1911 is truly outstanding by design. Buy it with an extra magazine for insurance because the heart of the gun is in the magazine. The gun itself is quality built to last forever. This one is a keeper. Take it from me..just get one..you'll be glad you did. On another note...notice how Barra has only a few in there line up and if you look closely to all of them by design, you'll understand why this is and it wont be long before they'll be on a league of there own. Barra I like where your headed and I'm looking forward to see you out there more distinguished. BTW just got my 400E..and I'm still in the clouds...but that would be on another review...only this time I'll stick to the gun alone in detail. Thank you Jacob and Geo ...You don't know me... but I'll still say Kudos to the both of you...Bob and Andy... Lol
Send me the Knife...Lol
Thanks again, JB

Got this product two days ago. Looks and feels real, did some target practicing so far no complains except it will deplete the CO2 faster. Blowback feature comes with that little price but I am happy to see it looks real every time I pull the trigger. Not to mention this is my first gun after taking basic firearm class and will go for this gun if I have to own one.

This gun has a very nice realistic feel to it. I appreciate the fact they put a Picatinny rail on this 1911 as well so I could put a sight on it. I showed my friend this gun and he purchased it because of how great it seemed. He was not disappointed. One of, if not the best 1911 bb gun there is.

Bought this model and the full metal chrome revolver. Both work amazing and the weight and balance is spot on. Definitely recommend for fun of to train someone on proper handling. 5/5

The full blow back give a realistic feel, but does not rob the CO2 economy. Accuracy is great. I was able to hit a can consistently out to 25-30 yards.

All I can say is that I would recommend this air gun to anyone!

It's like having a real 1911 on your hands, the materials have the best quality, the blowback gives you a real gun firing sensation, the only thing that I would improve its the way you reload the bbs on de magazine, but is a perfect co2 pistol.

I like how good it is. It feels great and isn’t too heavy or too light. It is very fun to shoot and feels real. Looks real.

Really satisfied with my purchase. Only complaint is my delivery was 2 weeks late.

It’s so realistic and accurate by far in my top 3 air pistols I have

I will start off by reccomending this product, but not for aim practice. The accuracy of this 1911 is inconsistent at best, even if you allign the iron sights perfectly every time. Another quality about this airgun that I am displeased with is the greasing. I have had to regrease the slide and barrel about twice despite not using the gun often, the factory application makes parts scratch together which wears away paint, and makes a scratching sound. It is realistic, and overall a good build quality. I would reccommend this.

Very cool and realistic looking and feel. Accuracy is better than average but I have more accurate pistols. Quieter than I thought which I like since I shoot in home and neighborhood. I think it more powerful than listed too. It was punching through cans and through 3 layers of cardboard behind the can. Very sleek pistol. Easy trigger

The loading is a bit annoying. Pull down the spring and load bb, but after its a bit difficult to get spring back up and the top bb will pop out when loading. Definitely need finger nails. Also compared to the other 1911 co2 pistols I own it goes through the co2 the fastest. 1 cartridge for 3 mag rounds.

It is very cool looking and sturdy but looks deadly. I like it the most out of all my 1911 pistols

I purchased this airgun (1911 steel BB full blowback) for a nick fury costume, as the smith and wesson airgun wasnt going to make it intime. I am very pleased with this purchase; the gun feels solid, and looks the part of a 1911. The finish is well done, and all components are mechanically sound that I can tell. Even the action on the gun is smooth and feels well made. I have not used the gun for plinking yet, but I will after Halloween and I am sure it will be fun.

Quality of the build. Finish and function. Haven't fired it yet. As with many I collect.

Subdue the white lettering.

Nice replica of a 1911 Tac.
