icolater Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I have used the bigger BBU as its in the RA trp, it work really really well IMO especially on Co2. Check Classified Section For A Suprise!! Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I spam too, but I'm not selling anything. What's a €1350 WE you are selling have to do with the next gen (not so €1350) WE 1911's? Link to post Share on other sites

What's a €1350 WE you are selling have to do with the next gen (not so €1350) WE 1911's? Only thing relevant is the nozzle, which is pretty irrelevant considering they replaced the BBU anyways. Otherwise it's TM based, not WE. Link to post Share on other sites
Armourpiercing Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 How is it they are are saying that they are not released yet when I have these in my hand right now? Have I missed something? This is from WE 1911 This is from WE new style 1911 Rear of slides compared These are the frames compared: Very clearly, they're both different. The new one is nickel stainless finish not gold as it looks in the picture, there's a black one the same. AP. Link to post Share on other sites
Wooly_Booly Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I double checked with the person I was speaking with. I stand corrected, sorry for the confusion. Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'm just glad they are out. Now, can they finally make a proper commander style, please!? How close to the TM 1911 is internal design? Would be interesting to see if parts such as thumb safety, hammer, trigger, grip safety etc would swap out. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Mhuh, I see. Interesting. Start review threads please Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 FYI the new type is the one with fake firing pin not the one above. That is the new old type, so to speak. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Maybe a wondering we employee could help out what the this new/not new but improved dilemma? Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Has anyone from WE ever been on forums? We've had people purporting to be WE but not actually. Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Too many changes just in the frame to be just an "improved" model. I'm just hoping for some TM compatibility for spare parts. It's also going to be interesting to see how this stacks up against the TM and KJW 1911's. I'm really hopeful based on my last couple of WE purchases. Link to post Share on other sites

What's a €1350 WE you are selling have to do with the next gen (not so €1350) WE 1911's?Ehh the larger WE nozzle maybe (fairly obvious TBH)Only thing relevant is the nozzle, which is pretty irrelevant considering they replaced the BBU anyways. Otherwise it's TM based, not WE.How Is that not relavent?? It's one of the main design improvements. Also they replaced the bbu, how did u come up with that conclusion do u mind me asking?? Its the new type we bbu that accommodates the new larger WE nozzle. Link to post Share on other sites

I misread your sale post, I assumed you had installed the Merlin unit in the TRP. Regardless, the nozzle design is not new, it has been available for a few years in WE's latest Hicapas. The TRP is not a gen 2 WE 1911, it's a steel TM based 1911 with a WE style bbu, which means it really isn't relevant to this thread at all short of that one portion. You could contribute with some things though, like with your Merlin BBU. How similar in size is the WE BBU compared to a "TM spec" unit like the Merlin? (I'm using that loosely considering the Merlin is a custom unit, though size-wise fits TM slides) Is the Merlin compatible, or was it just thrown in? That's the type of info I'd like to know rather than just being spammed with a loosely relevant sale. Link to post Share on other sites
SuperCriollo Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I really really hope they ditched their craptastic proprietary mags, if not, I'm out Link to post Share on other sites
LordElpus Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 other than mag swelling if left stored full of gas during hot weather and only 15rnd capacity (although a company called Seals made some WE mags that were 25rnds) never had a problem with the WE 1911 mags.

blobface Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 The TRP is not a gen 2 WE 1911, it's a steel TM based 1911 with a WE style bbu, which means it really isn't relevant to this thread at all short of that one portion. Wait, so one could take a TM style 1911 and be able to put in the latest WE 1911 bbu and it'd work with TM / KJ mags? Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Going to order one and see how it stacks up to the TM/KJW etc versions. I think we will still need to deal with the WE magazines, but I've had excellent experience with the P38 magazines and they are pretty thin. Link to post Share on other sites
