LJ.NL Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I just placed an order for a silver one Looking forward to your review! Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Have WE released any 1911 with the new nozzle yet? Iv taken my eye of the airsoft world for a while so I'm out of touch. WE MEU45 is with a new 1911 system. Bigger nozzle and some other things. I haven't looked much at it myself. KY let me know that the V10s will be going through another round of QC upon delivery next week but is still slated for release early/mid October Perhaps not a review per my own standards but definitely an unboxing video and overview of it Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Just noticed the "fake firing pin" bit, that is a feature of the newer system I think I can remember seeing some where. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 FYI I got an update from KY regarding this and the release is delayed about 2 weeks. So instead of mid October it's more like late October start November. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted November 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Update from KY Facebook is mid-late November for the V10s. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Delayed from the factory but KY said they should receive an update this week hopefully. Really want my chrome V10 dangit! Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 We and AW are the best these days IMO Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Remember the old days, when we just busted them all the time. I am so glad those days are over. I've purchased some decent WE gear the last couple years. Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Considering ordering some additional black control parts from KY Airsoft to make it a bit more two-tone but I can't decide what looks better... What do you guys think? Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Original looks best IMO Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Yeah. Stay silver. Black controls on a silver gun just screams cheap, crappy blank firer to me. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hmmm, I think you are right. After looking at the pics on and off a bit I think I agree. Was just that I thought the original one felt like it was lacking some contrast Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 You could do something like the T2 1911. Black slide, grip safety, grip and slide stop. Silver frame, trigger, mag release, hammer and thumb safety. Or go something like a Kimber CDP. All silver with black frame, wood grips. Link to post Share on other sites

I actually find "real" two-tone black/silver (slide/frame) pistols to be pretty ugly Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Anyone receive one of these yet? Zeroone has em in for 109. I have the Armorer Works Hicapa (Black Ace) and its a fantastic little shooter, assuming the weather is good. Unlike my TM it's an absolute dog in the cold. Would be nice to get a pair of these, nostalgia for the WA V10s I had eons ago.. Link to post Share on other sites
Dj_komodo Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 https://youtu.be/gcZg-4i5fVw the custom engraved ones looks pretty sick... Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Mine is stuck in customs for about 6 days now :| Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Well well well...! I got mine today. Some quick points. It looks and feels pretty dang good For the most part. At first I thought the front of the outer barrel (black part) was plastic as it has a pretty nasty seam line on either side and had a very polymer-ish finish. but it is metal. Nice weight and balance. Came with a black slide stop lever out of the box which is nice, added that little bit of extra contrast that I wanted. Gas route rubber, nozzle and nozzle spacer/guide (inside the nozzle/BBU) and floating valve are red polymer, that i associate with "enhanced". No idea if it is. The grip is phat, as in nice and cool, but also fat, as in pretty wide. My slender hands find it just about bearable to get a comfortable single handed grip. Safety is very firm, nice and clicky both on and off. No wonkyness when safety is on and working the trigger and releasing the safety, i.e. it doesn't drop the hammer when you take it off safe after working the trigger. Slide action feels nice and crisp when racking it. I usually want more "umph" out of the box but this one feels just right! Not test fired it yet. Will be playing with it some more and do an unboxing and review video. I have never had a WE 1911 but I am pretty sure it's based on one. But overall it feels good for a $110 USD gun (silver version). Definately a "couch" gun Front sight is painted in a little wonky, more like a derpy oval than a circle but that can be fixed. Oh, BTW, AW Custom have out-of-the box two tone models listed on their website so I guess those might be coming shortly. http://www.armorerworks.com/airsoft/guns/pistols/ne-series.html Some DSLR deluxe pics! The scratches on the slide on this first pic are pretty much only visible at that specific angle And I am pretty sure I put them there by using a dirty micro-fiber cloth to wipe it down.

Dj_komodo Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Looks great! Would look even better with trades and a hogue grip Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Don't trigger my OCD dangit! EDIT: Coming back and looking at my pics a half a day later and even I am impressed by my photos Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 One thing I forgot to mention that bothers me a little bit. If you look at the lower edges of the slide at the right angle you can see it kind of curves off or has a fall-off to it. Seen that on pictures of original WE 1911s as well, mostly visible on silver models. Looks kind of cheap and derpy IMO and detracts from the overall look. EDIT: Just tested dry-firing a magazine. Nice, sharp and crisp blowback and sound. The sound profile is different to my other full size pistols. Kind of more high pitch, like the sound difference between a 9mm and a .45 in "real life". Got about 50-55 shots from a fill of gas and the last 10 were significantly weaker. Not too bad for such a small magazine powering a full metal slide Some additional pictures (iPhone this time). Kind of interesting that there is no alignment nub/pin on the recoil spring guide rod. Outer barrel seam line Standard pinned 1911 magazine design. Guess to save space in the gas resevoir.
