After seeing lots of 1911 pics, I needed one! Didn’t want to spend crazy amounts, just to fill a gap more than anything. Already have an old gas bb which doesn’t get use (or tried to see if works). Thanks capt for info👍🏻 So this time again, blow back wasn’t critical, rather have pellet than bb. This seemed reasonable at Cheshire gun room. There were a few to choose from, but didn’t want white print or some OTT designing . Just plain and simple! Ordered 2 lots of real wood grips to swap out next week. Hoping not to break the dremel out, but if needs must!    Rotary mag design with 2x6 .177 pellet  Old and new  Not had chance to try out yet, hoping it should be ok. If I can get a group inside of 1.5” at 8yrds, it’s enough . ATB ven |

There's something about a 1911, such an iconic handgun with such a huge service history and used in so many theatres of warfare that it deserves a place in any collection..... I do have love for the ol' KWC blowback BB version though, with it's field strip ability, full size drop free mag, lock back on last shot, you can't really go wrong with one of them.  |

Beauty , I may add a field strippable still, bb or not. Nothing against bb at all, just prefer pellet due to accuracy or at least from ones I’ve had. I nearly bought the glock 17 bb which is strippable, but last second went dual ammo . Even though the bb is or appears a little better made. Cheers😎 |

Well today ,both sets of wood grips turned up. Decided on the less colourful for now. Removed plastic side grips and thought got away with it. The co2 bulb looked flush at first, then noticed the extra moulding in the lower frame🤦🏻♂️ Dremel out, I won’t lie, it was a pita as took a while. Not really somthing I wanted to do straight in from work. Anyway it’s done, happy with the result and fitting. Could have been tidier but doesn’t matter on back. I did take a touch more off and tidy after these pics. In fact I would say another 4 attempts, check, more off, check, rinse repeat! Didn’t want to go too far. Original left, other 2 different wood grips  Dremel areas  Annoying little spring that fits to the safety  Fit   Looks and feels better now   Cheers |

Very nice, looking good!
Much better than those pink ones that Headhunter put on his super-polished bling job. 😁😜

Very nice but I think I did warn you about the inserts for a kwc co2 😊 Yes for sure, my wishful thinking looking from bottom as cut outs in frame. Even when I took the grips off, I was like “yesss! no dremel required!”…….then trying on, the darn moulding on the handle body🤬🤬🤬. Why oh why….. . Didn’t watch the time, but i bet it took 1/2hr or longer before done. The safety side is the worst side, other only needed a little off. What amazes me the most….I still have all my fingers!😅 Been up since 4:30 so a tired brain cell😀 |

Nice buy ven. KWC 1911s are my favorite platform, along with the 715s and the Webleys. I really like the Sig Emperor Scorpion, badass to the core...😎
