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.

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.

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.

I like the weight and design.

ADJUSTABLE SIGHTS

YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS ITEM!!!!!

This is an excellent addition to my collection of 1911 co2 pistols. The build quality and finish is at a high standard. What you look for in a replica. Functions smoothly no problems.

Nothing

Top choice. Buy this one.

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.

would like to see this pistol with a blowback mode.

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

Evewrything. Beautiful pistol, feels nice, shoot nice.

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.

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.

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.

Everything is good, the look, good quality, nice color, unique grip, the sound, the price, the weight, handle, accuracy...

A real wood grip option...

no

Looks and feels like a firearm not a BB toy gun

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

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.
