Trigger Pull: The G&G Xtreme 45 offers a very smooth trigger experience in single-action mode, featuring a slight initial take-up followed by a relatively light release. The combination of light blowback and a single-action trigger facilitates rapid, accurate shooting with tight groupings.

Accuracy: The accuracy assessment is pending the Field Test Shooting segment of this review. However, preliminary tests conducted outside indicated satisfactory performance with rounds fired downrange.

Build Quality: Predominantly metal, this air gun boasts a solid construction and an impressive weight of 2.1 pounds, paralleling the build quality of the Umarex Colt Special Combat 4.5mm BB Pistol previously reviewed. The grip sections are the sole plastic components, though they could potentially be replaced with actual 1911 wooden grips.

Realism: The G&G Xtreme 45 closely mimics the iconic 1911 .45 auto pistol, particularly in terms of its trigger system, featuring a single-action trigger akin to the original 1911, which is a notable plus. Its weight and balance contribute to its authentic feel, while the modest blowback action provides a tactile shooting experience and facilitates single-action firing for subsequent shots.

Pros:

• Heavily constructed with substantial metal content and weight.
• The Blowback feature adds to the shooting feedback and cocks the hammer for an effortless single-action trigger pull.
• Offers high fps for a blowback Airsoft pistol.
• Anticipated to yield a good number of shots per CO2 cartridge.
• The rear sight is fully adjustable.
• Features a striking two-tone finish.
• The all-metal magazine is full-sized, accommodating both CO2 and BBs, and includes a concealed CO2 tightening screw.
• Equipped with an accessory rail.
• Exceptional value considering its comprehensive feature set.

Cons:

• Blowback is minimal and does not fully cycle.
• The slide catch does not activate after the final shot.
• The trigger does not replicate a classic 1911 trigger, though it operates in a single action.

Comments:

The G&G Xtreme 45 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol stands out as an exemplary blend of authenticity and functionality, enriched with an array of impressive features uncommon at this price point. With its predominantly metal construction, blowback mechanism, effective use of CO2, adjustable sights, and full-sized metal magazine, all complemented by its visual appeal and affordability, this 1911-style Airsoft pistol is a must-consider for anyone seeking a reliable and realistic Airsoft blowback pistol.
