Tanfoglio Witness 1911

[gingernut]

My two are in and I should be able to confirm tomorrow if I have been GSGed or not!

[gingernut]

Wrong ones!
Given him more info and KWC no.

Tanfoglio Witness 1911 has arrived early

Like it no end and it fits my stumpy fingers a treat, unlike the Beretta 92FS that Bobski let me fondle, Got mine from Kibworth Gunshop for Quids 79,

Managed to degas my first 12 gram age related?

Have found that you need to empty the mag as if you top up part way through, you find a BB is in the breech when you go to reinsert the mag,

I made a small steel rod and covered it in soft plastic tape just in case I do it again?

Has a smooth bore brass barrel which I cleaned a lot of storage gunk out of with a soft cotton .177 mop on a brass rod,

It is very accurate at six yards, will take it up the range to play more,

Cheers All, Bernard.

Mine is not stamped KWC ?

My mistake it was

Glad you like it, unlike some other BB pistols this feeds the BB into the breech like the real 1911. If you do not fire it dry the BB will drop out if you turn the gun upside down and move the action. Clear it like you would a real firearm as leaving a pellet in the breech and inserting a gassed but empty magazine could be dangerous.

I tend to fire it dry everytime because I love the slide locking back.

Looking all the better with the spare mags in the box

If you were to have a "best looking air pistol" comp the witness would be right up there

[GRAZY]

I have noticed a grubscrew with a allen key head where the hammer hits, is this adjustable? I haven't moved it yet as I am not sure if the slide could be adversely affected on recoil.

[instantcat]

no the firing pin is a fake and is just there to attach the blow back mechanism. The actual hammer that hits the firing valve is in side the back grip of the pistol. There is a Canadian web site which talked about changing the valve to a different one but i think it turn out to be a PITA but i have not checked the web site for a while.

Has anyone got any news / links as regards this fabled new Cybergun Beretta yet ??

All I have seen is a dubious and v dark Russian youtube vid ??

It could have been a real Beretta or blank firer for all you can make out ???

Carl.
