Trigger Pull: It is what you would expect from a real 1911 single-action automatic pistol. It is very light and short.

Accuracy: Surprisingly good! I got just under a two inch grouping from 20 feet away. I got 8 shots on target in a free standing position and I was only using one hand this time!

Build Quality: Excellent, with almost all metal construction. Good weight and craftsmanship.

Realism: This is as close as you can come to the look, weight, feel, and action of the real 1911 in virtually every way! I'm not sure what more you could ask for? If you do want more then you are going to have to go out and pick your self up a real 45 auto 1911!

Pros:

  • Extremely realistic replica of an original Colt 1911 A1
  • All metal construction has good weight for a solid feeling gun
  • Functions just like the real steel 1911 45 handgun
  • Firm blowback action adds to shooting realism
  • Field stripping capability
  • True 1911 single-action trigger that is smooth and light to pull
  • Good accuracy
  • Efficient CO2 usage makes for more shots
  • Working grip safety

Cons:

  • A bit hard to load up BBs
  • No adjustable sights
  • Finish may be hard to color match because gun is more of a brownish black

Comments: I was very impressed with this KWC product. It looks great and functions just like the real steel 1911 in practically every way possible for a replica airgun. I got decent accuracy and very close to the claimed factory FPS. I even got a full 3 magazines worth of shots from one CO2, which is pretty good for an airgun with this kind of blowback and kick to it. If you like the classic Colt 1911 A1 style of pistol and then the KWC Tanfoglio Witness 1911 BB Gun is exactly what you need.

Fantastique Achat

J'ai offert ce 1911 à mon garçon pour Noël. Il est un grand fan, ce pistolet est tellement réaliste!!! Le blowback est incroyable, tout y est, même la sécurité activée par la paume de la main. Le "field strip" est facile et réaliste! C'est une pièce incroyable à avoir dans sa collection. La précision laisse un peu à désiré mais pour du "plink", c'est tout ce que vous aurez besoin. La recharge n'est vraiment pas conviviale mais pour tout le reste, ça se laisse oublier. Un achat que vous ne regretterez pas.

Perfect

This is beautiful in the hand; it feels excellent. All metal, subtle warning labels not in white. First shots were 1/2” grouping at 20 yards, with one stray. Really fun.

Another great replica from KWC

I wasn't very hyped to receive this pistol but I wanted a good 1911 in my collection and KWC has been very good to me so far. Well I was blown away -- the all-metal construction is well machined and beautiful, the action is smooth, and the detail is accurate. This is a wonderful pistol, well worth my money. It shoots a little high (but in a very tight group) and doesn't come with a key to adjust the hop-up, but I was able to find one that fits and will tinker a little with that to see if I can't drop it a little bit. Grip safety works, thumb safety works, slide release is (accurately) just out of reach of my thumb in a normal grip -- replicates my frustration with the real firearm perfectly. Technically I'd say ACCURACY is a 3/5 but PRECISION is 5/5. With good precision I can correct for the fault in accuracy though. Edit: have since learned where the hop-up adjustment is and it's pretty straightforward and needs no special tools!

Good

I like the heavyness and the smooth, satisfying racking of the slide. As well as the mag action. Very Realistic. the paint wont scratch off like some do. And has a good finish look.

Awesome

Awesome bb gun. Was worried how much co2 it would use with the blowback but I get 3 mags sometimes 3 and a half using the umarex co2 cartridges. Deffinetly recommend this gun!

Classic beauty... Must have

This is my all time favorite BB gun. It is a great reproduction of the classic lines of the full size 1911 Colt 45. This gun feels great in the hand, has excellent weight to it and though it has a pretty hefty blow back, it is not too CO2 hungry. Shooting targets at 10 meters requires getting used to a little but once you get the hang of it, you will find yourself making 1.5 to 2 inch groups. Both safeties work, just like the real thing. This is my favorite edition because the markings are discreet and the finish is gorgeous. PROS: Awesome looks, great natural handling, it just feels great in the hand, respectable blow back action and reasonable on the CO2 CONS: The finish will wear off in contact areas and it cannot really be touched up. Other than that, it is the perfect 1911 BB with the highest bang for the buck in my opinion.
