KJ Works offers an ideal, low-cost solution to owning a full metal blowback gun. Now they have added the venerable 1911 to their range with the beauty you see before you. When you pick up the gun from the box, one is struck by two things: firstly, thanks to the all metal livery, it feels pretty weighty, second, you feel how solid it is. There is hardly any play in the slide, and it makes a nice metallic "clank" as the slide action is cycled. No trademarks are to be found on the slide, with a smooth, bare look.

Though CO2 capsules pack some mighty pressure, the valve son this weapon only squeeze it out in small increments which gives the weapon good kick and about 310 FPS. The power is modest for a CO2 weapon but out of the box it beats the 275-300 FPS average range for Top / Green / Propane gas powered pistols for the most part.
