    Things I liked:

    Springfield Armory 1911 Mil-Spec. CO2 .177 BB Gun Is by far the best authentic BB 1911 I have ever owned. It looks, feels, operates and weighs exactky like the real 45ACP MilSpec 1911.

    Things I would have changed:

    I wouldn’t change anything but, if this BB gun came in a nice timber box and had timber grips then it’d be phenomenal.

    What others should know:

    I don’t think these will be arpund for ever, I bought two and will buy a couple more so I have a few before they dissapear. Thanks Pyramydair for the great service and prompt delivery of my BB guns.

    this pistol has the weight and feel of a real 1911. as an army veteran (23 yrs), it delighted me... takes me back to the pre 9mm days.

    Things I would have changed:

    would like to see this pistol with a blowback mode.

    What others should know:

    have not had time for accuracy tests. but just bought a new chrono (yay) and hope to get out to the range soon.

    Things I liked:

    I love the look, feel, and overall fit and finish of this gun. I have a couple of real 1911s, but can't afford to shoot them because of the price of ammo. This gun feels very close to real. It is made out of some kind of pot metal, not real steel like a real gun. But considering the price, it's not bad at all. Racking the slide feels and sounds very realistic. It can even be field stripped and reassembled in a few minutes. The procedure is VERY similar to the real thing. Someone who is not into guns could very likely be convinced this is a real gun.

    Things I would have changed:

    This is where things go downhill. The first 2 complaints are fairly minor considering what this is. I don't care for the white writing on the gun, or the bright silver barrel bushing. But I actually bought this to shoot. And there is where the problem shows up. The magazine is almost impossible to load. I seriously injured my thumb the first time I tried to load it. Tore my thumbnail half off. OUCH! It is almost impossible to hold the little slider thing down while trying to put BBs in it. It probably wouldn't be that bad if they just dropped in, but they don't. For every BB I was able to get into the magazine, another one flew off into space. You need three hands to load this thing. I consider that a fatal flaw. It takes all the fun out of shooting this gun. This is just bad design, and ruins an otherwise very nice gun.

    What others should know:

    Reread the part about loading the magazine. I saw complaints about that in some other reviews, but didn't realize it would be as bad as it is. Everything else is great for the price.

    Things I liked:

    Looks and feels like a firearm not a BB toy gun

    Things I would have changed:

    Needs a tool to assist in refilling the BBs into the magazine as it is hard to force the spring down with just your finger nail

    What others should know:

    Lots of fun at home, no need to drive to the local gun range, with no problem it easy to shot at 21 ft and get 16 out of 20 into the 9 ring which is a qualifying score for a CCW here in California for a fire arm.

    What others should know:

    This copy has a recoil just like a real 1911. Makes for a really good training weapon,either for concealed carry practice or teaching non shooters how to manage a firearm.

    Things I liked:

    I love this gun. It tears down like my 45 cal. It has a good strong blowback. I hear a good solid thunk when I shoot things. Everything about the action/externals as possible seems like my .45. I like the sights, the dots really help. The magazine is not hard to load. I get several mag loads of BBs out of a CO2 cartridge. I have 3 mags so for and hope to get a few more to give each mag a chance to warm up a little more between firing.

    Things I would have changed:

    I wish the sights were adjustable

    What others should know:

    Buy it and get extra mags. Other 1911 mags fit this as well.

    Things I liked:

    I love the look, feel and overall performance of this gun. It is an authentic looking replica that is great for target work and it has widened the eyes of the friends I have shown it to. They were shocked that a BB pistol would look and feel that good.

    Things I would have changed:

    Maybe add real wood grips and offer a pellet version or dual ammo version of this gun. I would also offer a "kit" deal with extra mags, ammo and CO2.

    What others should know:

    Buy it and enjoy it. I would have to say that it is currently my favorite pistol among the 5 CO2 pistols I own. Get ya one!

    Things I would have changed:

    The magazine follower, That thing is hard to grip and hold back to load.

    What others should know:

    DO NOT try any of the fragible BB's I tried some of the Dust Devil BB's and they started shedding steel particles in the magazine and literally jammed the gun after a couple of shots. Fortunately it was not difficult to clean, as most of the problem was in the feed area of the magazine. A magnetized steel punch, inserted in the feed channel removed most of the particles. and I then blasted it out with some silicon spray, and wiped it down. Steel BB's now run through it with no problem. Umarex and Pyramid Air should state that such BB's are not suitable.

    Things I liked:

    This is a VERY solid gun, and its highly realistic for anyone looking for a bb-gun version of the real thing. It's certainly a good cheap alternative for target practice over the real firearm. Its not spot on with accuracy, but the ammo used plays a larger factor in accuracy than the gun does.

    Things I would have changed:

    The gun does have a tendency to jam up sometimes, although that might just be a defect with mine specifically- however it is very easy to un-jam it by simply locking the slide back and pushing the mag out. Overall it's not something that detracts me from using it, and it's the gun I ALWAYS grab for target practice out back.

    Things I liked:

    Excellent reproduction of a Springfield Armory 1911. I have two Springfield Armory 1911 Range Masters in 45ACP and 9MM and this gun fits the holsters perfect and works great for gun handling training. Its function is very close to real 1911 operation and weight is close to (as smidge lighter). I have had it for over a year now and no operational issues. It's not a competition shooter but it is an accurate fun shooter. No problem doing a 3" group at 30 feet or popping cans off my patio wall at the same distance. As an owner of real firearms, I find it just amazing they can build and sell these reproduction guns at such a low price and have them work so well.

    Things I would have changed:

    Some reviews are correct the magazine is a pain to load and push the BBs into it. I use a small pocket screwdriver to poke them in. It would be nice to get an extra mag with it too.

    What others should know:

    Be careful how you flash it around in public, it would be mistaken as a real firearm. That applies to many of the reproduction BB and Pellet guns as I also have two Colt Revolvers and the newer S&W M29 44 Mag. Today's world isn't very accepting any longer.
