Things I liked:

I just received it and I will add it to my collection I really didn't buy to shoot I frame them in glass pistol boxes. I loved the used battle worn look I collect all the John Wayne I can find. A real American" not like the disloyal phony lefty loons that are in our face daily.

Things I would have changed:

Nothing, It's a nice collectable

What others should know:

I would get one now in case they stop making them.

Things I liked:

It looks good from a distance

Things I would have changed:

It's not one to one in weight or size. It is very loose and cheap feeling. The aging is poorly done. I would not recommend buying it.

    Things I liked:

    Good realism and feel. I bought a reconditioned one and was really happy with the price vs new.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing really, a good standard GI issue look, I don’t need the John Wayne signature, but eh, it’s kinda cool.

    What others should know:

    The bb follower for the magazine can kind of lock and then just needs careful pull back a bit more with your thumbnail to slide in bbs. Will try posting pics

    Things I liked:

    Bought this as a commemorative display and love it, especially the "weathered" look. I carried a .45 as my service pistol doing LE boardings while in the Coast Guard chasing druggies and migrants in the Caribbean. The web belt and WWII holster finish off the display nicely.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing for the purpose I bought it.

    What others should know:

    No.

    Things I liked:

    Everything! I carried one during LE boardings during the early to mid '80's before we went to Barettas. Trained on the 1911 in basic and again in Maritime LE School. So, this was a treat to myself to have as a sentimental display piece. I purchased the old WWII leather holster with "US" on the flap to complete the historic value.

    Things I would have changed:

    For a display. Nothing. So far it works well, is well built and tight (unlike some other reviews), so I must have gotten a good one.

    What others should know:

    If you a military firearms enthusiast and/or have used one during your service, this is an excellent pistol to add to any collection. It's also fun to shoot!

    The aged look Good action and trigger.

    Things I would have changed:

    Take off the white writing on the slide

    What others should know:

    I bought this refurbed for $80 so it was an excellent buy. I also purchased the 10 for 10 so I knew that it functioned well before I got it. This I highly recommend for any gun. I also have the Colt Commander which I like also. I recommend both of these pistols.

    This was a replacement for one delivered with a smashed rear sight. Customer Service sent a replacement and had the replacement shot and looked over before they shipped it. I genuinely feel they do their best to resolve issues within their capabilities.

    Things I liked:

    I bought this gun as a Christmas gift for my husband so it has not been used yet. It does look and feel like a real 1911 and has a used look to it. He has several other 1911's and they work great so I am sure this one will also.

    What others should know:

    Pyramyd Air is a great company to do business with, they have an excellent customer service dept.

    Things I liked:

    0verall looks and proper function,blow back, proper trigger safety, slide stays open on the last round.

    Things I would have changed:

    Not very accurate. Will not hold a tight group, even when sand bagging it in at proper distance from the target.

    What others should know:

    Can't think of anything else for now.

    Things I liked:

    This BB gun replica of a 1911 worked extremely well right out of the box. It has a well functioning blowback slide. The safety and the magazine release worked flawlessly. This is an extremely well built handgun at an excellent price.

    Things I would have changed:

    This handgun could be improved by providing better sights. Having an option with functional night sights at an increased price is also and important option.

    What others should know:

    This BB gun replica of the 1911 worked extremely well "out of the box". Make certain that you have a tool key that works to push your CO2 cartridge into full operation. I fired enough BB's through it in my backyard with my friends so that I never left a partial used CO2 cartridge in the magazine. This is also a safety factor.

    Things I liked:

    Looks really nice and almost like a real one.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing other than better BB feeding system and co2 injection port.

    What others should know:

    I bought the refurbished one thinking of saving some money but it leaked as soon as I put a cartridge in so I tried again and same thing happened. Now you would think "Refurbished" would work better because they checked it out but I think it came back defective and they just thru it in the refurb pile. Usually P/A is the place to go but lately they have been f**king up big time, but there are sooooooo many other places to buy on the web.

    Rating 3.03.0 3.0

    Things I liked:

    The realism. Outside of the grip safety, all the controls are like my single action semis. Allows me to get some cheap trigger time in these strange times. Blowback action is realistic.

    Things I would have changed:

    Somehow make a catch to hold the follower down for easier reloading.

    What others should know:

    It takes a little getting used to loading up the co2 and bbs. But once you're used to it, you'll be plinking cans like a pro! My granddaughters love it! Great tool for teaching safety and technique.

    The feel, weight, and realism. reminds me of my old 1911 i got rid of. Like that it breaks down like a real 1911.

    Th not so faded worn look and a quicker way to load the mag.

    This shoot pretty good for a smooth bore pistol out to about 15 yards.
