Pros
I have gone through five of these guns so far over five years or so, but I am still buying them because when they work they are hard to beat, and a great training tool and shoot them in my back yard at liter plastic bottles suspended by wire rods. I carry a 1911 and these are perfect for practice. I fire at least one magazine every day usually more. They wear out eventually, but they are a BB gun made in Taiwan. Two have gone down because the hammer will not catch at full cock. The other three died when the plastic piston at the back of the slide sheers its ridges and comes forward out of battery. It lives in a metal housing that comes out of the slide in disassemply. I have tried super glue to no avail. If anyone has an idea on how to fix this issue please advise. I have had a couple of mag failures as well. Understand I shoot these guns a lot and love them. Part of the price of training I guess. I intend to buy two next time when they get back in stock.
Cons
That plastic piston should be made of steel so its ribs do not shear off!
Mine did have valve problems shortly after I got it. I bought a valve key and learned how to fix it myself, it now works great. Ironically, I believe an application of too much pellgun oil (so highly recommended by the "experts" in the air gunning world) actually caused the problem as I believe it over-lubricated the CO2 valve, allowing it to vibrate loose with use.
Also, I will add that inserting a loaded mag on a closed slide and racking the slide causes double feed jams on mine for some reason. I am diligent about only inserting a loaded mag with the slide open and then I drop the slide. I have had 100% perfect function over the last 1000 rounds through this gun using that technique. Also, don't try to shoot your CO2 to empty. It will jam a pellet in the barrel. Stop shooting and change your CO2 after the 4th mag, period, and the pistol will work flawlessly.
If you don't love this gun, you are in the wrong sport! It's everything you could ever want in a BB gun. Buy it!
Pros
Absolutely the most faithful replica of a real 1911 from the WWII era out there. It is my all time hands down favorite of my sizeable collection. It even takes real 1911 grips with just a wee bit of fitting if you want to snazz it up.
Cons
None. Brown on brown front and rear sights are difficult to distinguish from one another in certain lighting conditions. I painted my front sight with orange traffic cone-colored nail polish. Problem solved.
Looks nice, feels like the real thing. Unfortunately, it was not that great. The first round of BBs worked well and I was impressed with the blowback action. Second load was were the problems started. The BBs were misfiring and appeared to be getting stuck in the barrel. Then suddenly all the air was released. I figured give it another try so I went to load a second Co2 cylinder. As I was tightening it all the air blew out.
It was a shame as I really liked the gun. But just to have it as a display piece was not worth the price.
Pros
Heavy
Looks real
Cons
Releases air suddenly
Misfires
BBs get stuck in gun
I love, LOVE this gun, it's super realistic, fully metal so the sounds like cocking the gun is just like a real one, and the fact that the clip is big like how it is, makes it even better, and the clip slides out nicely. The shooting is pretty accurate,too!! 11/10 would recommend.
Pros
All metal
Super realistic
Very fun
Accurate
Blowback is powerful
It came with steel BB's
You can take it apart like a real gun
Cons
None
RIP! I loved this gun and shot it every day. Reliable-did not jam- ever. Last week a wrinkle developed-part of the breech contained in the slide advanced beyond its normal position and had to be forced back into position-never good. It did not want to remain there-something must have sheared off-I can't tell. Worked off and on for a couple of days. Yesterday it happened again and I field stripped it-a small spring (tiny) at rear of the slide came loose and was hanging out of its appendage-a spring that I have no idea as to its function. Put it back together today sans spring and shot a couple of mags until it died-would not cycle, it's dead-so it was in operation from about February 23 until April 9. Ordered another one yesterday. I really babied this replica-cleaned it every time I shot it and that was daily. Hey-it is a BB gun made out of pot metal-not a real Colt. I don't like it, but I get it. If the next one breaks I am done with the Tanfoglio Witness. At least I salvaged the magazine which costs $42-the gun goes for $99. The gun is now a paperweight. Too bad.
Pros
Worked well until it did not work anymore. Accurate. I only fired it in strings of 8 rounds per the original. It shoots hard-the recoil is like a Colt .38 Super! When it worked it was great-but it is dead now so it is a piece of junk.
Cons
Only lasted for less than two months which sucks. The white lettering on both sides of the slide is maddening. Why? Finally, the GUN ONLY LASTED FOR LESS THAN TWO MONTHS BEFORE IT SELF DESTRUCTED-just so we are clear on why the one star rating.
I like the way this gun feels, I showed it to a friend and he said "A cop will shoot you if you're holding this"! How's that for authenticity!
Pros
the feel, the blowback
Cons
uses a lot of Co2
All around a great air pistol to shoot and display.
Pros
A lot of fun
Cons
None
THIS IS A FUN GUN WITH HEAVY BLOWBACK. IT FEELS ALMOST LIKE SHOOTING A .45. I LOVE THE FEEL AND LOOK AND WORKS PERFECTLY. YOUR FPS WILL BE LOWER THAN A PISTOL WITHOUT BLOWBACK, BUT I WILL GIVE FPS UP ANY DAY FOR A REAL GUN FEEL. GET THIS, YOU WANT BE DISAPPOINTED!
I'm a 77 year-old Navy veteran of the Underwater Demolition Teams, and a gun guy, with eight grandchildren ranging from 25 yrs. to 5 months. I got this gun to aid with teaching the 6 - 15 yr olds to shoot. The Tanfoglio's Witness 1911 is the perfect teaching aid. The safeties, blow back slide, weight and feel are very realistic. Because it doesn't go "bang" and shoot real bullets we can practice in the back yard or even in the cellar, If I can get it past their mothers. The 25 yr.old is a local policeman.
