Page 5 - Springfield Armory 1911 Mil-Spec. Reviews

looks and feel like a real .45

loading the BB's-need a better spring stop mechanism-extra clips very expensive

fun to shoot

Feels good in the hand. Well built. Fires fine and I got it fast. Thanks .

If there was another way of changing the cylinder or if the allen wrench could be hid in the mag it would be the cherry on top of a nice pistol.

The entire gun

nothing at this time

If you want realism buy it

Great 1911 replica. Excellent build quality. Looks and feels like the powder burner. Accuracy is good for a smooth bore BB gun.

Add a cutout in the magazine to hold the spring loaded follower back to make BB loading easier.

As many others have said, if you are a 1911 enthusiast, you cannot go wrong in buying this to add to your collection.

Everything! Sooo realistic! FAST shipping! Ordered on a Sunday was at my house on Tuesday! Very happy so far! have not got to shoot it yet but I can tell its gonna be awesome!

Rather have wood grips or metal!

Very realistic dont get yourself shot being dumb!

Best bang for the buck!! Great realistic weight,look and very fair pricing! Great replica!

Nothing

not that I can think of.

I simply love this gun!. The matt black finish against the chrome-like barrel looks amazing. The blowback is most likely the strongest of any gun I own, including the Tangfolio. It's even heavier than the Tangfolio by about 10 kg.

Nothing. Air Venturi hit it out of the park with this one.

A couple of things. I'm a bit concerned about the CO2 seal as I had to really tighten down hard on my very first bulb to stop it from hissing. Hopefully, a bit of pelligun oil or silicone spray will help this.

Only three mags per CO2 bulb, which isn't surprising considering what you get in return which a second to none blowback.

I own 4 1911's thus far. This is my favorite by far. I never thought anything would come close to the Tangfolio. This one does.

Excellent fit and finish.

Adjustable sights. This baby shoots high and right. At 5 yards.

After several clips, the trigger started acting up. It would not reset after firing sequence. I read that another buyer had similar problem. Repaired it buy stripping it down and lubricating trigger and safety mechanisms thoroughly with hoppes #9. Hand cycled the action a bunch of times, cleaned and re-lubed. No miss fires for 2k shots.

The Look"s, Weight and Feel of the Pistol !! Also the short Trigger Pull which through me off for a while. The Blowback is really good and Snappy which brings the Realizume Factor Into the Gun and the Woodtone Grips makes the whole gun Look Great !! THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL PISTOL

NOTHING GOOD AS IS !!!

So, this is my 3rd 1911 and I Love it ! It does shoot about 2" high but I can compensate for that. It does not shoot as tight groups as my Swiss Arms 1911, Colt Commander or even my Sig Sauer X Five. But I'll tell you something, it is a Beautiful Pistol and a Ton Of Fun To Shoot. The Blowback is very strong and feels really good, But I sometimes get the smell of c02 from the back of gun ?? Other than that I am Very Happy with my Purchase and the Price I paid for it. I got it with some Low Ricochet BB's which I have not shot with yet. If your looking for a Fun 1911 Gun to shoot with this will do it for you, Nice Full Blowback !! All in all a Great Buy for the $100.00, Thank You P.A !!

Authenticity, slide markings, limited white warning.

Hammer is week

Good pistol.

Love the function of this pistol. The one I received required a double trigger pull to fire a BB. I called tech service and they authorized me to ship it back for a replacement. I am expecting the replacement any day now. Even with the double trigger pull the gun was very accurate.

Improve the loading by loading lower on the face of the magazine, not one at the time on top. I drilled holes on my purchased extra magazines and can now load the magazine in seconds. Just drill a 3/16th hole above the tension spring above the pulled and locked magazine spring in the locked position. Awesome!

Drill the 3/16th hole in the magazine and have full.

Excellent quality great looks. Closest thing to a 1911 since 1911

I wish you could change a co2 cylinder without the hex wrench it's just one more thing you have to carry with you. It's not a sale canceling thing just a wish it was better thing.

You can change the grips with any 1911 grips and it looks sweat in a shoulder holster.

Great gun make an quality very realistic!

Very well made and realistic.

Grips were poorly made! Can't change because the co2 cylinder protrudes. A design error!

No lanyard ring on mainspring housing.

I like 1911s and this is not an exception. The imitation wood grip is a nice touch. It is field strippable similar to the firearm and the white warnings are small.

The barrel bushing to be black.

Based on what I read, most of the 1911 airguns are made by KWC and each company put its brand. However, the shooting accuracy is a little different from each one (Umarex Colt Commader and Swiss Arms TRS). All of them have a consistent 2-3-inch group at 24 feet. I got 55 rounds / CO2 in a semi-fast pace at 79F. For fast shooting is better to use 2 or 3 magazines in order not to loose precision.

Everything the look, the feel. This is the same as the real Springfield 1911 A-1. Very good for training and practice. Very accurate

Needs more power/fps. But that's just me lol.

This is a well built accurately detailed gun that you can be proud to show off.
I have had a lot of my friends think it is the real thing.

Good fit between the slide assembly and lower. Does not reek of lubricant, nor leak oil, much unlike the Umarex Legend 1911 (drenched in oil) or Sig 1911 WTP (stinks of oil). Reasonably accurate. Very reliable. I had encountered misfires and premature slide lock-backs with the Sig 1911 WTP, but not once with this one.

Nothing really.

Safety engages only if the hammer is cocked, as is the case with the real steel. This is different from a whole other set of 1911 airguns.

Compatible with the mag of Sig 1911 WTP.

Can get 16 x 4 = 64 shots out of one cart (crosman cart and umarex bbs).

Amazingly real feel, look and blowback. Nice weight. Has been shooting flawlessly. The parkerized finish is very well done. It doesn't really get much better than this in the replica business. Im very impressed.

Loading the BB's is not too bad, but a better lockdown for the follower would be about the only thing I would change.

If you like 1911's and especially Springfield's, you are gonna love this. Just an outstanding job. Very fun and cool gun.

Like every thing about it. It looks and feels just like the real 1911 by Springfield that I have. Great for keeping up skills in the back yard.
