Trigger Pull: It is what you would expect from a real 1911 single-action automatic pistol. It is very light and short.

Accuracy: Surprisingly good! I got just under a two inch grouping from 20 feet away. I got 8 shots on target in a free standing position and I was only using one hand this time!

Build Quality: Excellent, with almost all metal construction. Good weight and craftsmanship.

Realism: This is as close as you can come to the look, weight, feel, and action of the real 1911 in virtually every way! I'm not sure what more you could ask for? If you do want more then you are going to have to go out and pick your self up a real 45 auto 1911!

Pros:

• Extremely realistic replica of an original Colt 1911 A1
• All metal construction has good weight for a solid feeling gun
• Functions just like the real steel 1911 45 handgun
• Firm blowback action adds to shooting realism
• Field stripping capability
• True 1911 single-action trigger that is smooth and light to pull
• Good accuracy
• Efficient CO2 usage makes for more shots
• Working grip safety

Cons:

• A bit hard to load up BBs
• No adjustable sights
• Finish may be hard to color match because gun is more of a brownish black

Comments: I was very impressed with this KWC product. It looks great and functions just like the real steel 1911 in practically every way possible for a replica airgun. I got decent accuracy and very close to the claimed factory FPS. I even got a full 3 magazines worth of shots from one CO2, which is pretty good for an airgun with this kind of blowback and kick to it. If you like the classic Colt 1911 A1 style of pistol and then the KWC Tanfoglio Witness 1911 BB Gun is exactly what you need.
