    While I like the look of the replica and the way it functions I have to wonder what can be done with a steel BB travelling at just 300 fps from a smoothbore barrel??That said if Cybergun were to market an 8" Luger Parabellum replica I would definately buy one!

    What are you intending to do with it dude? If your hunting white Rhino then its not up to the job, if your blatting away at tin cans its perfect.

    The mag extension button makes it easy to eject the mag without changing your grip, something I always find irksome if you can't do it on standard pistols,

    Some evil chap on the UBC forum put an idea in my head that wouldn't go away, so instead of relaxing I did a little more Witness Tampering -

    I do remember mentioning something about a skeleton trigger...

    It does look rather nice though...

    How long before you go completely SVI and there's nothing left of the original KWC/Cybergun??!!!

    I don't think there is any reason they couldn't make a Luger 4.5mm CO2 with blowback ( or whatever you call the rising/falling toggle action): there is already an airsoft version.

    Personally I would love to have a CO2 4.5mm blowback Mauser C96 (airsoft version already in existence). I have emailed Cybergun and asked them if they have any plans to make one. Probably being wildly optimistic. Anybody else fancy one of these? If you do, email Cybergun too.

    It's a shame the TW 1911 couldn't have been designed with a bit more power. 320fps is a bit soft. 400-450fps - now you're talking! .

    Agreed. It is still great fun, low powered though it is.

    I just got one the other day after reading many good reviews on it...

    They were right - great looking gun, with a solid feel to it, and most importantly - Brings a big grin to the otherwise miserable mush

    Definitely. This is the best air pistol I own or have ever owned. Now if only they could make a replica Mauser C96 I would be in paradise.

    Does anyone know how I would fit a [mock] silencer onto this pistol? I've been searching everywhere for what I would need and how to do it.
