Looking for GBB 1911 info to suppliment my CCW practice!
« on: December 06, 2008, 10:58:49 PM »
Hey, everyone. I've been a member on these boards since I was about 15-ish (I'm 22 now), but I've been an inactive member since upgrading to "real steel" as it's called here. ;) However, I've recently decided that I'd like to get a GBB to supliment my CCW practice (force-on-force training). I'm pretty spoiled to WA stuff (had an SVI Infinity 5" for my first, and a Para-Ordnance P14.45 HRT for my second). However, I'm looking for a quality single stack model that can closely mimick my current carry piece without breaking the bank (or breaking itself, either!). Attached is a photo of my daily carry . Having been out of the airsoft world for so many years, I'm looking for information on who makes a decent single stack 1911 these days, or even specific model suggestions from WA on down to KWA. Suggestions for places to purchase would be great as well. I know how to run the search button, and will as much as I can, but life's busy and getting busier, so any help you can provide that would save me some time would be GREATLY appreciated! I'm not looking for all the custom feature I have on my 1911, but the general layout needs to be replicated (single stack, single side safety, beavertail, arched MSH, barrel bushing, GI type recoil guide rod, etc). I'm looking to build muscle memory, and while I realize any 1911 model would be better than nothing, the closer to my carry, the better. Thanks for the help, folks!

*Chirp!*Chirp!* Tough crowd here, I guess.

So far I've found the standard WA excellence that I can't justify buying right now, WE (whoever that is), TM, KWA, etc. Just curious on any reviews. I'll do a search since everyone here is so bubbly and helpful!  ;) Thanks for any info you'd be willing to provide, folks!

I, just got the SOCOM Gear 1911 MEUSOC and I love it. Its very close to the actual weight and shoots wonderfully. They also make a Wilson Combat model that is almost Identical. Another good one (so I've been told) is the PTP 1911 by KWA. All of them are on airsoftgi.com, good luck with your choice. I also have a WE Caspian 1911A-1 that serves me well enough. the weight is something to be desired but it is just like the old GI model.
