    Any Love for the KWC 1911s?

    I have a Remington RAC 1911 and I just love it's accuracy as a replica. I've removed all the silly warnings from the slide and given it a repaint and I just love the way it looks, feels and strips just like the real thing.

    Objectively, it's not the best air pistol but it is surely about the nicest replica.

    I think they are great replicas. I have one of the older Tanfoglio Witness 1911's and it's still one of my go to pistols for can bashing.

    It would be nice if they made one with really basic Colt markings, or no markings at all!

    I have one which was one of the first shipment to come into U.K. years ago and it still functions well. I fitted a micro adjustable back sight and wood grips to jazz it up a little. It was cheap then at £80 and not a bad replica, but the best 1911 replica bb firing is the Inokatsu made from steel and more expensive than a real 1911, at £800 to £1000. See pic....

    I have a real yearning for one of these 1911's and a Luger replica at the moment.
    Trouble is, how the hell do you actually buy one ??

    No RFD's locally appear to stock, that I can find.
    Been looking on-line for a week or so now, and finding it a bit frustrating to be honest :-(

    Have you asked your local RFDs if they can get it in for you?
    Good deals with these members

    Just been checking websites regarding 'what' they normally stock.

    Crawley Surplus are delivering within 50 miles of Crawley - it may be worth asking them if they can help as they usually carry an extensive range of BB as well as pellet firing CO2 clones.

    Or keep an eye on sales on this site.

    Kind regards,

    John
