Other than the blaze orange barrel tip, the Black Ops USA 1911 is a remarkably realistic airsoft pistol. It's hefty, fits my holster perfectly, the controls are all there and operational. The slide cycles when it's fired, giving it a little recoil. Its more like 22 than 45, but it still kicks a bit. It makes enough report to trip a timer.
It shoots airsoft BBs reasonably accurately at short ranges. Since I have targets now, I will do some live fire drills soon. For now, I'm just moving, covering and watching that darned trigger finger.
Normally, the slide locks back on an empty magazine, so I had to do a simple modification to keep it from locking back. I tried a couple of blocks, but what works best is a wire bent into a double hook to keep the magazine spring compressed.
I get about 40 shots out of a cylinder if I don't run it too fast.
Since I'm doing these drills indoors, every doorway is cover and anything I can focus on becomes the target. I pay special attention to maintaining cover and getting my finger out of the trigger guard before my feet move. On the other hand, I can claim that all stages are 0 down :)
