Spring Heavy Weight 1911 Pistol Airsoft Gun YT385 FPS-240
Review by Jake : Great Display Piece

I bought this gun before a ww2 airborne display, and picked it up, smacked the magazine in, cocked it forward and said to myself "did i just order a real .45?" of course i didn't actually think that but the realism is just so amazing. i popped it in my m3 shoulder holster, fit like the holster was tailored for the gun. i read other reviews about it breaking when firing, and decided i wasn't gonna shoot it, mostly because i had no use to, it was just for me to display. i got asked so many times if it was real (i of course cocked it back and spray painted the barrel. all in all, a great display piece, but from what i have heard, not so good for shooting. Great for your kids to play army with or for reenactors looking for a cheap colt to set in your holster or take into the field for looks so you dont carry around your $6,000 actual 1911 .45 around.

Review by K. Geib : Excellent Replica, Powerful but problematic shooting

As far as the realistic look and feel of airsoft guns go, this is by far one of the best I've purchased. For the sake of other shoppers who are interested in the realism of the gun, let me say that for the price it is selling at, the gun is an excellent value.

The slide moves, the breech opens the clip comes out, the empty magazine slide-lock works, safety grip works, hammer works, the gun can be disassembled partially. The barrel piece at the front comes out like a real gun, but the spring does not come out. And the center pin comes out like it should, requiring you to pull the slide back a proper distance.

The shooting is fairly strong, but I personally had an issue where only a small percentage of my shots would work. I soon realized that the issue was that the barrel or the area where the BB sits before firing was too tight, and the BB would not exit the barrel. That may just be a unique defect for my gun, but I'm reporting it anyway.

Review by blaster : excellent, works great

Excellent pistol. I had a small problem at first with the weight of the magazine. They have a pretty heavy weight inside the mag to help give it some heft. I had problems with it falling out of the gun from being to heavy. There's two small pins on the bottom of the mag that can be removed easily. I pushed the pins out and took apart the magazine and removed the weight bar piece and reassembled. Much better!! Really works great. Shoots good-accurate-open ejection port-lockable slide. Magazine holds 13 and mine will lock open the slide when mag is empty. This wasn't mentioned in the description and should be. Lots of people seem to be looking for this feature. I saw bad reviews for this pistol and took a chance anyway-turned out great. Good price-built well-shoots great. I'm very happy with it, gonna get a couple more!! Hope this helps.
