Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the KJWorks KP-16 GBB Airsoft Pistol is exactly what your would expect from a 1911 pistol which is always a good thing as 1911s are generally short and light which makes fast action shooting super fun and easy! There is virtually no take-up in the trigger, and then a predictable nice and light release. Trigger reset is almost non-existent like most 1911’s.

Accuracy: We decided to find out what the differences would be using the included internal short barrel and the extended external barrel since the KJWorks KP-16 GBB Airsoft Pistol does come with both in the box to allow for higher fps and easier import into Canada. The KJWorks KP-16 GBB Airsoft Pistol is rated for 360+ fps using the extended longer barrel so we used that one first to establish a baseline and was able to achieve a 394 fps 4-shot average. Switching up to the shorter internal barrel without the extension, the velocity was reduced as expected and we got an average 3-shoot velocity of 301 fps. So we can safely say that the barrel extension added 90+ fps to the velocity in this case!

Build Quality: The KJWorks KP-16 GBB Airsoft Pistol is a really great looking pistol with its tan with black/dark accent finish. You will find it has that KJWorks solid build quality, it is virtually all metal even including the chunky grips being metal. Fit and finish is excellent, I’m not sure if there is a better made Airsoft 1911 out there?

Realism: As is with most Full Blowback Airsoft Pistols they are built to look and act the part of their real steel counterparts and the KJWorks KP-16 GBB Airsoft Pistol checks off all the boxes here! All mechanical parts work just like the real steel version and you can easily field strip the KJWorks KP-16 GBB Airsoft Pistol to swap out the internal barrel and adjust the hop-up. We like the fact that If you are not a fan of the compensator extension then you will be happy to know that KJWorks also includes a standard barrel bushing you can replace it with to shorten up the gun and make it look more traditional to a 1911.

Pros:

• Full metal gun with good weight to it.
• Heavy Full blowback operation.
• Excellent fit and finish as always with KJWorks pistols.
• High capacity full size drop-out magazine that holds 26 rounds.
• Versatile magazine options, also works with CO2 magazines.
• Easy to see white dot sights front and back.
• All working components are like the real steel 1911.
• Vented extended barrel compensator looks great but can be removed easily.
• Comes with an extended barrel for higher velocity and easier import into Canada.
• Field strip-able.

Cons:

• Sights are not adjustable.
• Real steel grips will not fit without some modifications.

Comments: In terms of Tactical 1911’s, We would say the KJWorks KP-16 GBB Airsoft Pistol is one of our favorites out there. We really like the tan with dark highlights and the way KJWorks decided to match up the metal grips with the compensator with what we would call a dark chrome look to them. The KJWorks KP-16 GBB Airsoft Pistol really does look like it is right out of a video game or movie but if you want to dress it down a bit you can also remove the compensator to make it look more like most other Tactical 1911’s. I guess all that’s need to do now is test the KJWorks KP-16 GBB Airsoft Pistol out in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Range and see how well it performs!
