Tanfoglio Witness 1911 CO2 BB Pistol Kit air Pistol

Very well made, quite realistic and shoots pretty accurately out of the box. Safety on the grip similar to a 1911 and functional. Loading BBs isn't as big a pain as some might make it to be. It does run trough the CO2 (blowback) You will likely average about 3 magazines worth of BBs to cartridge. If you want blowback, that is the price one pays. Exceptionally well finished - I've seen real pistols with finish that aren't as well executed. Action is tight, and slide doesn't rattle.

To be honest I had to modify this gun to get it to work correctly. It jammed way too often but I modified the loading mechanism and am kind of confused as to why the didn't imply this simple fix themselves. That said, I've stripped, sanded, polished and put new grips on this gun. It was always my intention to make it my own and I have. In the process I also got it working better then it was out of the box. If you're looking for an accurate replica this is as close as you'll get. If you're looking for a solid backyard shooter you might want to look at the daisy model 11.

Great replica to the real thing! The blowback is fun feature. Would've give 5 stars but both, BOTH of my clips now leak. 1 will be empty in a few minutes and the other in a few hours. Very disappointed with the seals on the clip. Have had the gun about a month or less. Not even 2000 BBs and only 19 CO2s used and the clips leak. I'll probably buy more clips but will not be happy about it.

I believe this is the finest full featured 1911 FULLY functional BB pistol I've been exposed to. It has an identical weight and feel of a .45 ACP 1911. The magazines, because of the way the house the CO2 canister and BBs in the same structure results in a weight and feel of an actual 1911 8 round magazine. The thumb dafety, blow back slide and back strap safety are all on target with the "real" thing. If you are looking for a replica 1911 for practice or low cost fun shooting, you can't go wrong with this one. One more thing; I purchased the Colt version of the 1911 BB pistol and was GREATLY disappointed. Hence, my purchase of the Tanfoglio.

Go to the hardware store and buy 12" to 24" of 1/4 inch clear plastic hose. cut to the length of 20 BB's and glue one end and put a 1/2 " length in the bottom end with the glue. let dry put in 16 BB's and use a the same length dowel to block the other end. pug the plug, hold the spring back on the magazine and put end of plastic hose next to the loading hole and none will fall to the floor. make up about 10 BB tubes to carry. i load all my guns with the plastic hose. after about 100 rounds my gun stopped working. it would shoot one BB and miss fire. found a BB in hole at top of gun near firing pin area. remove BB and works fine again. befor you put in a new magazine make sure gun or barrel don 't have BB in chamber waiting to fire it out. put in a new mag full of BB and shoot it and you will have extra BB's rolling aroun in top of gun. make sure no BB's are loose in to of gun. after a year my gun stopped working, the blow back didn't work, it would move slide back enough to move hammer back one notch. would not shoot right, all air would come out of barrel. tried to get it fixed, but if over 30 days old no one will touch it or even look at it, there no parts from makers to repair this gun. none at all, so I took my gun apart to see if I could fix it. what I found was a BB in hole behind the firing pin. look at slide and where the firing pin is, there is a hole there and if you air power is low it won't shoot BB out of barrel and then you rack another BB up and another one, then 3 BB are in around the firing pin area and if one drops in hole, you won't get any blow back past the first notch on hammer. Never shoot with low air. it will jam up with extra BB's and one or more will fall into that hole by the firing pin area. once you remove BB from that hole the gun will work fine. but some were you must not shoot with low air power. my gun back working like a new one again. once air gets low i will put in a new one. hope this help any one else with this the no blow back problem.

The gun was great. Exactly what I wanted. A real nice replica of the 1911. Even though the shipping and delivery was late. It was worth the wait for thus beast.

Few days used then broken.

I received this package after waiting a little over a week, and when I got it I was ecstatic. I loved how the gun felt and the weight to it. The second day I had it, I came home from school, planning on shooting some cans out in the yard. I take the pistol out, load in a CO2 cartridges, load the magazine, and BAM, the thing never worked after, every single time it jammed. I thought it was because the magazine was busted or something, but the (Right out of the box) other magazine didn't work either, even when I only put in one single BB. Considering I loved the gun so much, I wanted to try my luck with a second one thinking I might of gotten the one out of 1,000,000 that was defective. Overall, the looks and feel are exactly like the real firearm, but if you want a trusty, reliable BB gun, this isn't the gun you want.
