The KP-06 1911 HI-CAPA is a high-quality GBB airsoft gun designed for enthusiasts who appreciate realism and performance. Built with a metal slide and frame, it offers a solid weight and feel at 1.18 kg (2.6 lb). The pistol operates on a 12 g CO2 cartridge and features semi-automatic blowback action with a single-action-only trigger that provides a crisp, light release, staying true to its 1911 design.

Trigger Pull: The pull is what you would expect from a true 1911 single action only trigger. It has very little take-up with a smooth crisp and super light release.

Accuracy: I shot from 30 feet out in semi-rested position and got very good test results. I was able to place 10 rounds in the 2 inch range with most of the shots being very well centered (sights can be adjusted for windage and elevation). The KJ Works KP-06 1911 HI-CAPA Airsoft Pistol shot right around 331 FPS range on this mid temperature day while conducting my 5 shot average chronograph test. The blowback recoil is very heavy due to the large full length blowback slide and the green fiber optic sights are a joy to use.

Build Quality: Excellent just like all the other KJ Works airsoft guns I've tested so far. The fit and finish is the best even when compared to my 4.5mm steel BB shooters. When using these guns regularly, areas that are painted like the metal friction areas show very light wear which is rarely the case with metal built blowback airguns. The tolerances between the moving parts like the slide and frame are very tight, showing excellent workmanship and machining from KJ Works.

Realism: This pistol is styled after a tactical high capacity 1911 .45 auto and is a great looking and functioning replica. You will not find any actual licensing on this pistol. The CO2 magazine does stick out a bit to accommodate the 12 gram CO2 but other than that, this airsoft pistol looks and works near exactly like a real 1911 tactical semi-auto and is fully field strippable.

Pros:

• All metal pistol with good weight
• Full length heavy blowback operation
• Excellent fit and finish
• High capacity full size drop out magazine holds 28 rounds
• Very accurate and well centered on target
• Green dot fiber optic sights and fully adjustable rear sight
• Stainless highlights, ambidextrous safety, and long rail for accessories
• Field-strippable

Cons:

• Grips are wide, may not fit the hands of small shooters
• FPS was not super high but gets the job done
• To fully field strip this pistol requires tools

Comments: The KJ Works KP-06 1911 HI-CAPA is another excellent full blowback airsoft pistol from KJ Works. It is a rather large pistol, overall wider, longer, and thicker than a standard 1911 so small hands may not be suited to this pistol but if you can manage the KJ Works KP-06, you will be treated with a very responsive and highly reliable airsoft gun. I really like the updated tactical add-ons like the super long tactical lower rail, machined trigger and hammer, fiber optic adjustable sights, textured grips, and ambidextrous safety. The quality on all KJ Works airsoft guns is top notch so they do cost a bit more but you really do get what you pay for. The KJ Works HI-CAPA KP-06 will look good and perform well for a very long time so your return on investment is well worth it!
