    Cybergun make 2 Witnesses, one is a classic 1911A1 shape and is metal and has blowblack. The other they make is a pretty naff plastic thing.

    I don't know of any others, however the blowback one is based on an airsoft gun.

    the metal version is supposed to retail at £58 but I've seen it go for £140. That's for the blowback model.

    Never seen the blowback one at £58 Where from? Going rate is generally round the £90 or so mark.

    RRP was initially £71, it then went up to £79 IIRC.

    Most places sell for over £100.

    Weighs over 4lb's! Blimey. Is that usual for handguns? My TFW is heavy enough for me at half that..

    And apparently, if I don't get one there's something wrong with me.

    Hmm.

    They retail at around $65 in the US which is about £50 lol. Seen some shops here sell them for £145 and the plastic version for £70.

    But there's 2 versions. The old plastic one is no good. The metal one is much better.

    that's most likely a typo- even the real colt 1911 only weighs 2.5 lbs.
