Things I liked:

I also have this model 1911 from black ops(ignite) there are 2 black ops airsoft co.this is an absolute beast and kicks like a mule. It is well built reliable mine uses co2 ,it is well balanced all safeties are functional, silver outer barell with 14 mm. threaded tip( a little fragile but can be reinforced to accept a compensater or silencer,that fits the thread size. it does hold 20 shots and the rear sight is fully adjustable for windage and elavation, the logos are bad #$#@$#% and fit the hand nicly, I bought mine for allot more than pyramid is selling them for and this is not an entry level air soft gun so if you are low on cash and looking for a good gun to go to war with, this is for you . Do not let the price or any thing else about this pistol fool you it feild strips like real steel and is the same quality as any 1911 out there. The mags hold gas well I have had mine for all most 3 yrs. and have"nt used the spare mag yet.

Things I would have changed:

Make more co2 mags available for them I use the WE hi cap. co2 mag for the WE 1911 hi cappa, fits a little tight but works just as good as the Ignite mag

What others should know:

Please do not let the low price stop you this is a very good pistol
there are plenty of reviews on youtube to back it up.and with Pyramid you cannot go wrong

    Things I liked:

    Nice slide and frame Great price-value ratio TM compatible!!! Skeleton hammer and trigger Threaded orange tip Easy to disassemble and very similar to other 1911s/Hi-Capas

    Things I would have changed:

    Make a metal ambidextrous safety instead of the aweful plastic one. Use a stronger material for the nozzle. It cannot hold up to the power of CO2 Make better feed lips Advertise that the gun IS TM compatible!!!!!!!! Make the threaded orange tip metal

    What others should know:

    For $55 this is a good go-to 1911. However the gun has some flaws... The nozzle on mine broke within just a few days and I have heard stories of the magazine lips cracking. I don't blame the nozzle for breaking as the gun is under a lot of pressure from the CO2, but I do recommend replacing it with a KJW, Airsoft Surgeon, or Shooters Design one. Those 3 are great with the Shooters Design being the most expensive one. There is a UAC aluminum one you can get for $60 but save those for novelties like TM or WA guns.

    Also, switch to green gas mags immediately! The CO2 as I stated utterly destroys this pistol overtime. Since it is TM compatable go out there and pick up some WE Hi-Capa magazines. Being that they are green gas they won't mess up the pistol AND they have better OEM feed lips so you knock out birds with one stone.

    Things I liked:

    The recoil on this thing is amazing. It kicks like a horse and it can even make your ears ring.

    Things I would have changed:

    The way you change the co2 is good but I don't see the co2 tightener lasting a long time.

    What others should know:

    DO NOT USE THE SLIDE RELEASE. I used the slide release too much and my slide no longer locked back on the last shot.

    Nice weight and I like the look of the gun. Also when the slide slams foward is music to my ears.

    Things I would have changed:

    Make the magazine better. The lips broke. Also the leaks are horrible. Very bad magazines

    What others should know:

    Things I liked:

    The gun is full metal except the grips, orange tip, and the bottom of the magazine. It has a very hard blowback. It uses co2. You can take this thing down just like a real 1911.

    Things I would have changed:

    It uses co2 like crazy. So you only get 60 shots a co2 which is not good.

    What others should know:

    The only reason I didn't give this gun five stars is because the co2 runs out in only 3 magazines. Which is only 60 shots. Most guns last 80-120 before running out. Another thing I would like to mention is that this gun is loud. My left ear is still ringing.

    Things I liked:

    The price and waight of the gun is fantastic, great for beginner airsoft. Full size drop out magazine is very realistic. Great gun over all. But the magazines are a joke, they will break and cost 20 each.

    Things I would have changed:

    I love this gun but the magazines are per junk. I should of spent a little more on a higher end gun that had reliable sturdy magazines.

    What others should know:

    Good gun, horrible magazines. And the gun cant work without magazines. I would spend my money on a gun that has a reputation for good magazines from here on

    Things I liked:

    This is a great replica of a wide body 1911 with adjustable sights. It field strips just like a real 1911. It is a great shooter with an excellent trigger pull. It has good heft and appears to be of good quality.

    Things I would have changed:

    I don't care for the graphics on the Slide, but they are well executed. I had to use Lineman's Pliers to successfully tighten the CO2 Cap. I wish that this could be done with an Allen Key.

    What others should know:

    I usually only put 10 rounds in the magazine and shoot two 5-shot strings of fire to make the CO2 last longer by preventing cool down.

    Things I liked:

    After a slightly bumpy delivery problem, I received the pistol in perfect shape and loved the accuracy and especially the blow back action. Weight is very close to the real 1911 and I will use this to practice acquiring target and accuracy practice. My first Blow back pistol and I am very pleased. I got way more gun than I paid for.

    Things I would have changed:

    Wish there was an easier method of loading BB's (one at a time) but the capacity is better than most I've seen.

    What others should know:

    Noise is less than other Co2 Pistols I own, probably due to the blow back action, which is great for me because I have neighbors with tender ears! Thanks, Pyramid this is a great buy!!

    Things I liked:

    I purchased this gun at a slightly lower price on Pyramyd Air and that is why I gave it chance. I mainly buy BB and Pellet pistols but am a fan of the 1911 so at this price I gave this Airsoft a try. This gun does not dissapoint! I would purchase this gun even at the current price of $49.99. Great shooter, realistic weight, and great fun! Not too many shots per C02 but as expected for the kick it delivers thats OK, no complaint. As for accuracy it is good, it is a C02 pistol and designed to have fun, this shooter is no exception. Pyramyd Airs delivery is as fast as some FPS on some Guns, Great service! Bottom line, Buy this Gun for the price!

    Things I liked:

    this is a very nice 'modern' 1911 it has a very aggressive look,large magazine capacity, full metal frame, and and it can work with co2 mags, or even green gas mags! it has a skeletonized trigger and hammer, and adjustable sights!

    Things I would have changed:

    the paintjob is passable for the most part, but in direct light it tends to sparkle a bit, I prefer the "colt 1911"'s paint job over this. (PY-2537-5048) The trigger is also clearly painted silver, and is not done very well, yet the polishing on the barrel looks very nice in contrast to the trigger's silver. But that's all subjective. The accuracy is kinda inconsistent even with .25g EF bbs, I even tried a few hop-up settings and some other ammo. the accuracy's not 'Terrible' in any sense, but for a gun with an msrp of $100, it really should be better, and I've seen MUCH better from guns with the same msrp. the fit could be better as well when manually racking the slide, (even with no magazine in) I can feel it catch on part of the frame. and if I let go, it stays there, and the slide will not fully go back into place. on the bright side, when shooting, or releasing the slide lock it dose not catch, so it's not a huge issue. and co2 mags are hard to find,cheap plastic threaded end.

    What others should know:

    Overall, onsale this gun is A STEAL! yes I had quite a few complaints,so much so that I ran out of space. but none of them are deal breakers.
    At the full price of $80 or so, there are MUCH better options that shoot better, look better and preform better.

    but if you can find it for under $60 it's an absolute steal!
    you will not find a full metal blowback gun like this for that price.
    and even with it's flaws it still shoots properly, using pellgun oil on the co2 I went though 4 straight cartridges with no leaks or jams.
    and even in 60 degree shooting I could hit a 6x6" target on average 6/10 times from 30 feet. so it's by no means a bad gun,
    but when compared to some other $80 and $90 guns that have none of the problems I listed, and in the same conditions (same ammo to) can shoot a perfect 10/10 almost very time, with easy to find co2 mags,it's clear to see it dose not really hold up.

    So as previously stated, if it's onsale, it's a good deal, but it's not worth $79.99

    Things I liked:

    Right out the box my son and I were completely in love with this gun. It has a great weight to it and functions 100% the same as the true model. As long as you load the magazine properly (READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST) the gun will not jam. Be sure to only put .20 gram BB's or greater as .12 BB's will most likely break in the chamber of the gun and jam it all to hell. When we first began to shoot this gun it shot very wide and up but after playing with the hop up adjustment the gun shot straight and true. My all time favorite thing about this gun is the KICK. The gun has about as much kick as a Glock 9mm and I mean the real gun. No Joke, I was completely amazed! The metal slide slams back pretty hard when fired. All in all for the price I paid and the time it took to ship to my door this purchase was most definitely 100% worth it.

    Things I would have changed:

    It might just be a manufacture flaw with my gun but the hammer when pulled back doesn't drop enough and has a few times got caught to the slide when attempting to return to its original position. I had to pull the hammer down even more to dislodge the slide. But it has only happened a few times out of 100's of shots and honestly it doesn't bother me. But if its not a flaw I would like to have changed how far back the hammer pulled.

    What others should know:

    The magazine is interchangeable with the (WE Hi Capa 5.1 1911 air soft pistol) so you can buy an extended green gas magazine to fit this gun. I'm getting three full clips of 19 shots per co2 cartridge so an extended mag should be a great addition to this gun.

    Fix the magazine's leaking CO2 issue. This gun has such great potential but because of the gas leak it kills the product.
