You can't go wrong with either of these. Looks wise the 92FS all day long for me, but if you want better performance go for the CP88 competition model

The 88 is a better replica of the real gun. The 92 looks wrong for a replica because the barrel shroud is far too deeply embedded in the open frame to look right for my liking.
This ain't rock 'n' roll- this is GENOCIDE!
The Umarex 1911 was also a nice piece in the 'revolvermatic' range
I fondled the CP88 and Competition, Colt 1911 and Beretta 92FS
The Colt was nice, but the grip mounted safety did nothing (pistol would fire without holding it in) and it wobbled too much to get a decent grip. Disappointing. Beretta was toooo heavy. Settled on the CP88 Comp. I'm running it on lead free and am impressed with it. The 70+ shot count is none too shabby either. I'll get it on the chrono on it one of these days. Spare mags are a must as the two supplied empty much too quickly!
The problem with being old is that you can remember when things weren't crap. Sometimes.
Two first things I do with the Colt, block the grip safety in closed position using black Sugru. Not necessary to pin in place as we did with the real .45. Next thing is remove the soft piece of metal use for the transfer bar, then drill and tap the hammer face to insert a flat head type screw to make up the thickness of the transfer bar.
