Wei E-Tech (WE) - Colt 1911 Officer’s Model

What we have here is a full metal replica and a more compact version of the very famous M1911A1 Colt Government. Only the size and magazine have changed, so just like it’s bigger brother the only non-metal external parts are the plastic replica wood grips. The gun looks very sleek and realistic. It is also very comfortable and easy to operate with. There are two safeties - a grip one and a thumb one, and lanyard mounted to it. The thing runs on Green gas, making it very powerful. It’s easy to take down and maintain. Check out the specifications:

Specifications:

Construction: Full Metal with Plastic Grips.
Weight: 677g (without Magazine)
Weight: 846g (with Empty Magazine)
Adjustable Hop-up: Yes
Length: 189mm

Magazine Capacity: 13 + 1 (Chamber)

So I didn’t mention accuracy above, because I really have to put it on the downside. The gun is powerful yes, but accuracy isn’t really its strength. Cooldown is also pretty significant, especially at cooler temperatures. It’s pretty consistent though if that will make you feel better. There is also the lack of kick and silent shooting that I don’t favor too much. The price you can get it for is £79.99. For an all metal gun that’s not too bad, but considering the disappointing performance my advice is to look for something else.
