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.

Looking good, feels good, quality not that great

The Good: looks (when new), feels, weights nice. Very accurate replica, fun to handle.The Bad: paint starts wearing off quickly. At the end of the magazine the very first dry shot made it stuck in the back position so it required disassembly, during which the pint which held it together get bent, as the slide was in incorrect position. Couple of more jams like that and pin will likely break, rendering the whole gun useless.Unknown: how it will withstand wear and tear? I don't shoot it too often, so far I am through 3 CO2's.It is not too powerful and accurate - but it is a hardly shortcomings of this particular gun - just the whole blowback class. I prefer realism over firing characteristics, so I am OK with it.

Top shelf!

You can't wait for this one to get dirty, so you can take it apart again! Fantastic copy sure to get you in trouble if you're not careful! I got my money's worth the day it arrived, it was the star of the show! Heavy slide will shake the sights loose so epoxy them on! Pot metal hammer spur fractured after a year and a half of heavy use, but that's OK. It can happen to the real thing. It's still going! Accuracy not great but can be improved, just like the real deal.
