1911-style BB CO2 pistols

[kjohn]

Shooting a Daisy "Winchester Model 11" and a Red Alert RD-1911 blowback this evening. Bought the Daisy at CT on a good sale and the Red Alert at Cabela's on a good sale. Of course, the blowback chews up a cartridge faster. Both are fairly accurate and are improving as they get broken in. The Daisy has a better feel because of a more realistic trigger. Both are nice and heavy. The Red Alert was made in China and the Daisy in Japan. The Daisy has a non-functional grip safety. They both have lawyer approved horse's butt safeties, which are actually less safe because you pretty much need two hands to get them off.

Anyone else have something to add?

Sounds like you got a couple of good deals. It would be nice it they could make them PCP or have some type of refillable cylinder.

There are a lot of Airsoft models that are gas refillable in the same model

Well, for all I will ever use them, CO2 cylinders will be fine. I did some looking online last night. The Tangfolio Witness 1911 looks like a nice one.

I'd best not go down that rabbit hole.

I have the Witness, the detail is very close to a 1911. Even the magazine looks quite convincing when it is in the gun. Great for training, strips down just like the real item !
