KWC makes two versions of the Colt 1911 in blowback form: one based on the Colt M1911A1 and a modern railed 1911 style pistol. If you’d like to know more about the development of the Colt 1911, you’ll find a link at the end of this review to an article about the handguns of John Moses Browning, designer of the Colt 1911. Given that the 4.5mm Tanfoglio Witness is the KWC 1911 replica that I’m most familiar with, that’s what I’ll mainly be talking about here, but other versions are very similar. I had to sell my collection what I moved away from the UK, and those Witnesses are amongst the replicas I still miss most. So, you’ll understand that this isn’t an entirely dispassionate review. In fact, I liked it so much that I ended up buying two more over the next twelve months. I ended up paying more than I should for a barely used second-hand example. And then of course they sold out almost as soon as they were released in the UK and I wasn’t able to find a new one. This was a branded version of the 4.5mm KWC 1911 and I can’t remember when I was last so excited about the release of a replica pistol. Until Cybergun announced the release of the Tanfoglio Witness in 2011. I wasn’t interested in airsoft pistols back in 2010 and though there were some 4.5mm replicas of the 1911 around, none were fully functional. But the 1911 still looks to me like a “proper” semi-auto pistol to me – the standard against which other are judged. My replicas are a little more sophisticated now, and if I owned a Stormtrooper Action Man, it would be a collectible far too precious and expensive to be shot at. I also liked my die-cast, cap-firing Luger, but despite the cachet of this being a “baddie” gun (which is of course wildly cool when you’re ten years old), my preferred sidearm was always the Colt, especially when I was fighting off the relentless attacks of Stormtrooper Action Man from the top of the stairs. To my childish eyes, it looked just the way a gun should look- squat, no-nonsense, chunky and somehow menacing. When I was a kid, I had a toy Colt 1911 (not that I knew what it was back then) which fired rubber-tipped darts. Fortunately these are very good replicas of the Colt 1911 and whichever version you buy will be about as close to the 1911 experience as it’s possible to get without the smell of gunpowder. In fact, if you buy a blowback 1911 replica, there’s a good chance that it’s manufactured by KWC whatever it may say on the box. They sell two of these directly, but KWC are also the OEM for 1911 replicas sold by a number of other well-known companies.

#COLT 1911 A1 KWC FULL#
This has a full metal construction with plastic grips and it fires a 177 steel BB upto 315fps! This has a hell of a kick and it feels great to shoot.ĭon't forget to order your Co2 capsules and copper/steel BB's with this product. This somehow manages to fit a 12 gram Co2 capsule into the 1911's, pretty much wafer thin, handle as well as an 18 BB capacity magazine. This is a fantastic copy of the Colt 1911 Pistol.
