Description

This gas powered Airsoft pistol is an amalgamation of equally popular 1911 and Hi-Capa platforms, creating a sidearm which is both user friendly and well-performing. The use of Hi-Capa style magazines means that you get not only a very decent capacity of 30 BBs per magazine, but a huge gas reservoir which ensures that you will be able to get plenty of shots before needing to refill.

The upper slide of the pistol is from from Alloy, along with the Frame, Outer Barrel Assembly and Custom Compensator. This gives the pistol a hefty overall weight (just over 1kg), and a strong recoil as the slide cycles during use. The compensator is added to replicate the look of a very famous competitive shooter's handgun. (Hint: they spent many years with the US Coastguard). On the underside of the frame is a 20mm Accessory Rail which can be used to mount Torches, Lasers or anything else that will fit, to further enhance your performance on the Airsoft battlefield. The trigger is a skeletonised design which is made from very tough Polymer, and has a comfortable pull with a discernible break point. The stippled grip offers more than ample grip in all environments, and even when wearing gloves, but isn't aggressively sharp so that it is still comfortable without gloves. The magazine release has an exposed thread which is very handy for installing aftermarket magazine releases, to make it easier to use. A flared magwell makes it much easier to insert magazines, allowing you to focus on the skirmish and less on what your body is doing. The fire controls imitate the 1911/Hi-Capa platform, meaning you have a Beavertail Safety which prevents the pistol from firing unless it is gripped properly, as well as a physical slide lock to keep you safe (provided you use them). The pistol has a Gear Style Hop Up Adjustment wheel which can be found on the underside of the slide once it is removed from the frame. This allows you to apply backspin to your BBs and theoretically improve range/consistency when coupled with the correct BB weight.

Included in the box is a 30rnd Gas Magazine with a custom enlarged baseplate, as well as an Instruction Manual and the replica itself. If you're looking for a 1911/Hi-Capa platform replica which has a unique tactical aesthetic, as well as features to improve your game, then look no further than the Army Armament R501 1911.

Special Instructions

The externals of the replica are metal where they would be on the real world gun. This includes things like the outer barrel, handguard, and receiver. If a real world gun has polymer parts then the gun will still be marked as full metal externals, examples of this would be an M4, where the Stock and Pistol grip are always made from Polymer.

Special Instructions

These table can be used as a reference to see if the BB weight you are using will be over acceptable Joulage limits at some Airsoft Sites in the UK. To check if the weight can be used chrono your weapon using the BB you intend to use, and then compare it to the chart.

FPS, Power and Joule Limits can vary from site to site, so please get in touch with where you're going to play with in advance to avoid disappointment.

Suggested limits are based on Joulage Limit rules used Halo Mill: Proving Grounds, with a 350fps limit for Automatic Replicas, 400fps for Semi-Automatic Replicas, and 500fps for Bolt Action Replicas.

Tap the tabs below to open the relevant chart for your replica.
