RWA Nighthawk steel 1911 with machined rs Heinie tritium sights, stainless threaded insert (to match this two tone oddness), grey Magpul grip panels!

Phone camera unfortunately, but just picked up a WE Desert Warrior thing;

First WE 1911 i've had in over a year - It seems they've re-designed the outer barrel a little to stop the slide jamming on the outer barrel after a bit of wear. Not sure if that's my bad memory or not, but it definitely looks different. On another note, for £85, there's no way this thing should shoot so damn good. I'm hitting the same tree with every round on .3's and GG at about 40 metres... Ridiculous.

 

*edit* Nope, bad memory, the outer barrel/breech assembly is the same. Who cares, for £85 i'll buy another one when it eventually breaks!

Hwagan- still a gas hog?

 

 

Seems to be; A full mag of gas gets around 30 rounds out, and it's about 26 degrees celcius here at the moment. I can't see it being much use in the winter to be entirely honest, but it's doing very well in the current climate. Kicks like a beast, shoots fantastic and looks really quite nice. In this weather, it's easily capable of dumping a whole 15 round mag very rapidly. Definitely worth it for the money i'd say, just don't use it on a cold day :P

SocomGear/WE's are fine in the summer - In the current british weather, i'm getting 35 or so full powered shots from a single stack 1911 mag. However, in the winter, that drops to about 3 before the thing just stops playing ball. It shoots on par with a TM 1911, but the obvious issue is the cooldown in colder temperatures.

 

Anything System 7/NS2 is a much better choice for all year use - My SigPro 2022, even with a metal slide, gets a full magazine out in the depths of winter.

I have two Fullmetal KSC 1911A1 GBBs and I don't miss any steel barrel at all. I had Fullmetal WA's before and now with the KSC I don't miss a single thing of the WAs... They even made for skirmish what WA isn't.

 

RacingManiac! Better buy a fullmetal KSC 1911 S7 for 150 bucks... from the price it doesn't make much sense to just buy metal slide.

Maybe its just the Metal Gear fan in me, but a threaded barrel, some Bomar sights, and wood grips would look damn sexy on one of those.

 

 

I agree completely, I have asked the threaded barrel question on KWAUSA forums and they have no plans of producing a threaded barrel for the 1911s. Until one comes around, I'll hold off and keep my WE-tech Custom Operator.

 

also the hicapa slide and conical barrel are all wrong too!

 

The NEW KWA's are, however, really nice.
