Type: BB Pistol

Model: Tanfoglio Witness 1911

Power Source: 12 g CO2 x 1
Action:Semi-auto blowback, single action

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is what you would expect from a real 1911 automatic pistol, with single action. It is very light and short.

Accuracy: Surprisingly good! I got just under a two inch grouping from 20 feet away shooting 8 shots on a 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 yourself up a real 45 auto 1911!

Pros:

Extremely realistic airgun replica of an original Colt 1911 A1 styled 45 auto
All metal construction - good weight and solid feeling gun
Would make an excellent training gun as it functions just like the real steel 1911 45 handgun
Blowback action is very firm adding to the realism of shooting this weapon
Field strips just like the real 1911 45 auto
True 1911 Single action trigger, excellent pull, very smooth and light
Good accuracy, not too bad amount off shots for this style of gun about 3 good magazines
Working grip safety

Cons:

It goes through CO2 very fast
A bit hard to load up BBs
No adjustable sights
Finish may be hard to color match because it's not really black but rather a brownish black

Comments: I was very impressed with this Cybergun product, it looks great and functions just like the real steel in practically every way possible for an airgun replica. I got decent accuracy and very close to the claimed factory FPS and even a full 3 magazines worth of shots from one CO2, which is pretty good for a blowback airgun with this kind of kick to it. If you like the Classic Colt 1911 A1 style of pistol and if you are into airguns or are looking for a gun you can use when getting to the range then the Cybergun Tanfoglio Witness 1911 is exactly what you need.

Excellent replica

I have a number of CO2 pistols and this is by far the most realistic, not just in looks but in operation and field stripping. On top of that, if you're ambitious and want to customize your pistol the finish can be stripped mirror polished and custom grips added to give you a one of a kind 1911 replica. Dealing with Replicaairguns was as usual, fast and hassle free.

amazing piece of hardware

Blowback is lots of fun, easy to load (second time around) This gun has a realistic weight and feel, and at times i thought I was holding the real steel. I couldn't wait until the warm weather, so at -5C I still got 3 full mags per CO2. I dropped the mag in the snow, blew it off and back to business with no problems. I thought the acccuracy was questionable, until the kids shot...purchasing extra mags is a must. Get off your wallet and buy this gun. You wont be disappointed!

Great Pistol!

Pros: At first glance, the quality of the pistol is outstanding. The paint is a brownish metallic/matte finish and the weight of the bb gun feels like a real gun. The slide is just so much fun to cock back and the trigger is very light. The only thing you need to watch out for is that this gun will eat through your C02 like crazy.. about 3 mags until it starts to shoot very low fps shots. Plus the paint strips easily, so if your the type of person to want your guns to look tip top shape then this may disappoint you. Either than that, its a super accurate shot, very hard blow back and overall such a satisfying gun to shoot. MUST BUY!

A Masterpiece!

If you are a fan of the M1911 and all metal blowback pistols, then this is an absolute must have for your collection. I own 2 of them. Both have superior accuracy, handling and feel like my old real M1911. I fired over 100,000 rounds through real M1911 A1's and this is about as close as you are going to get in a BB gun, and in this price range. Expect heavy blowback for a BB gun. It's very similar to a .22 Long Rifle, and maybe even as much as what a .32 ACP auto feels like to fire off. It just feels real. I looks real, and it handles like the real weapon. Field stripping is in fact identical to the real deal. Accuracy at 15 feet for me is groups in the 1 cm to half inch range. At 30 feet I am getting solid half inch to 1 inch groups. It's only has fixed sights, but a few drops of white model paint and that fixes the 3 white dot issue. The grips are plastic, but I am ordering wood grips for one of my pistols and rubber Pachmyr grips for my 2nd one. My paint is still holding on well. They may have improved it. My wife and I are doing a ton of firing and the paint is holding up really well on both of them. Better than I have heard they will. For targets and cans this is the gun. I will be buying 2 of their Tac M1911 version and also 2 of the Sig Sauer and the GSG based on how fun and well made their guns are. This gun is made and distributed by so many names. KWC/Cybergun, Palco and Swiss Arms all seem to be the same pistol. Make sure before you buy that you are getting the real deal, there are a ton of .45's on the BB market. Mike's online store and service is 2nd to none. I paid more for mine. I wish I found this web site sooner. My wife and I are buying a ton of stuff from here now though. If this rating system had 10 stars...I would give this gun a 9 out of 10. It's few minor flaws like CO2 leaks and only 60 or so shots a CO2 etc, are only worth taking a single point off it's score. The pistol is simply brilliant! If I hear it is going out of production and nothing is replacing it...I would then buy another 5 of them. I like the gun that much!Mick from Ottawa.
