Winchester Model 11 BB Pistol

Good heft and balance, about the same weight as my 9mm empty. Looks good with the classic 1911 styling. I like the easy c02 load just by pushing up on the lever. Easy to unload the spent co2 by pulling the lever and pushing the button to the side and the co2 just drops out. Not sure why peeps be complaining about the co2 load and unload other than they don't know how to do it. I like that the mags are plastic too because it keeps the price down to just $5 each. And since the mags are inside the gun the only time you see them is when reloading. If metal it would ad $15 or more the gun or for extras. Lots of guns have abandoned metal mags for light weight and cheaper polymer/plastic mags. So far probably 4000 or more rounds through it with no issues. Pretty powerful enough to punch in and out of a Campbells soup can at 15 or 20 feet. I like this better than the competition like Tanfanglio witness because its more powerful.

The weakest point is the way the grips look. But thats an easy fix because painted mine with a custom look that now looks good. When I get tired of the look I will paint them again with a different look.

All I can say in my opinion this is the best performing fps 1911 out there.

It was good while it lasted. Nice replica of a 1911 platform handgun, good for training. However, the trigger gave out after a few thousand shots. Granted, I did dry fire practice with it a lot. Between dry firing and shooting I probably got 5 to 6 thousand trigger pulls out of it.

It just didn't last as long as I would have liked.

I like the feel of the gun, it's accurate and easy to handle

nothing

This gun is really fun to shoot. I own several air guns but usually pick this one up first, and have a hard time putting it down

The way the co2 loads is not very easy. I can do it pretty easy now but took a little time to figure it out without loosing the charge on the co2. The pistol is not a rifled barrel, so it is not very accurate. I have to stand pretty close about 12 to 15 feet to have a good pattern.

The easiest way to load the clip is hold clip over a small cardboard box, I use the box the gun comes in and feed lots of bbs toward the hole 25% will go in the clip and you can load this way pretty fast.

inexpensive to practice with

make the grip safety actually work

I have had three of these now, you get 6000 to 9000 shots and then the trigger mechanism breaks. Other wise a good value, and reasonably accurate, fun to shoot.

it's not exactly the same as shooting a real 1911, but it great for muscle memory. Fun to shoot, pretty accurate.

Not crazy about the way the left hand grip attaches over the CO2 cylinder, concerned about it holding up over time. We'll see.

A friend of mine who shoots 1911's came over & saw it. He put 4 mags thru it in short order & didn't want to put it down. Make sure you buy at least 3 or 4 extra mags because you are going to have too much fun to stop & reload if using just 1.

This looks and feels like a 1911. This was I think the second blowback pistol I bought (back when) and I've never been disappointed by it. I rate it a 4 because I have found a couple of guns that are better and thus (for me anyway) that puts them at least a star up. that said there's very little not to like here.

Not much. The slide works well, it has a nice heavy feel. I do wish the grip looked better. The plastic looks a little cheap. I keep thinking of replacing them.

Fun gun. I think you'll like it.

Ease of controls and the blow back action. What would have been the mainspring housing is the closure for the CO2 and once open the left grip panel pops open to replace cartridges.

Just closing the latch to activate the CO2 is convenient, however it'd be nice to have some sort of adjustment to account for differing lengths of CO2 manufacturers lengths.

Any sort of holster especially the nylon cheap type, the slide will have to be held tightly when reholstering in order to keep it from being driven too far back.

THE WEIGHT AND FEEL, BALANCE AND MUZZLE VELOCITY

FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND IS THE THUMB SAFETY, YOU HAVE TO PUSH IN A LITTLE BUTTON BEFORE IT CAN BE UNLOCKED....CAN'T REALISTICALLY CARRY IN C-1 OR "COCKED AND LOCKED"

Good balance, Reliable (no jamming), accurate, blowback. Despite some other opinions I thought the two finger safety was a good idea.

Adjustable rear sight.

I fired 3,500+ rounds over a 15 month period with few problems. Finally the valve became stuck, but I believe that I received my money's worth! You should get appro 80 shots per cartridge.
