First of all, WOW! Second, it’s a $100 BB gun not a $2000 acurized Ball Gun so the fit is not going to be as tight. That said, it is a great way to practice sight recovery for sustained fire. Compared to the Springfield 1911 A1 powder burner. Weight w/loaded mag 2lb-2oz, PB 2lb-5oz w/o mag. All exterior dimensions are very comparable. Field strips whole slide at once or removing bushing and individual pieces. Removing main spring, manual and grip safety any 1911 guy will recognize all parts. Leaf spring can be adjusted, however, the air mechanism affects most of the trigger pull. If you are used to a roll trigger, you will love it.

Things I Would Have Changed

I shoot left handed. The indent on the manual safety is not very strong and the combination of the recoil and my finger keeps engaging the manual safety. Thinking of a solution. Drill a small hole in the magazine loading block to insert a steel pin to hold open while loading BB's. Much easier on the thumb.

I finally got to order this great replica and I'm thinking seriously about ordering a second. I have been a competitive 3 Gun Bullseye shooter for many years and competed at the National Matches at Camp Perry Ohio. Back in the early 1980s this same Springfield Armory produced a bare bones 1911 A1 "KIT" gun that came unassembled with the major parts groups in plastic baggies. Priced at, Parkerized for $250.00 and Blued for $275.00, there has never been a better deal. This replica is the spitting image of the Parkerized version (minus target sites) I sent off to Jimmy Clarke Custom Guns in Keithville Louisiana and had him make me a "Hardball Gun" which I still have. Although I had carried a 1911 A1.45 in Vietnam I never really mastered it until I was out of the Service. I'm writing this review backwards since I don't have mine yet but if you can find Dennis Adler's 5 Part Review this promises to be one amazing replica pistol. I'll add to this review when I get mine.

Things I Would Have Changed

Nothing to change.

I finally got my SA1911-A1 Mil Spec and as I stated above I did decide to order a second one (which I received it also). These are excellent reproductions of the venerable old slab side I carried in Viet Nam. When I ordered the first one it came up with the Swiss Arms mags as listed as spares and I always order 2. When I ordered the second one it showed the Springfield Armory mags (I ordered 2 also). They seem identical. I received both guns together and immediately tested the safeties and lock back on empty function which worked great. The manual doesn't cover it but it does field strip similar to the real thing and while not doing an extensive firing test I can say it has an impressive blowback and overall feel. It obviously doesn't have the boom or the kick of the real deal but it's a great copy. I also own a Tanfoglio, a RAC, a Colt Commander among others and I would have to say I favor the Springfield. After all it does look like my favorite powder burner.
