https://www.box.com/s/3qpik8ar056o12tp50z5So they have the Race gun 1911 from last year as well as the Luger and Mauser broom handle, all in blowback and some are supposed to be field stripped like the firearm.
This year they seem to have added a Beretta 92 (not the same as the Taurus/GSG 92 some of us have), a Glock, a new line of revolvers and a Smith & Wesson M&P ALL featuring blowback action!
I agree that it deserves its own post! KWC is now my favorite manufacturer/supplier of extremely realistic replica pistols. Looks like they read our minds, Doc, eh?
I already have their airsoft replicas of the Desert Eagle/KCB-51ACIH), the SW40F/KCB-12AHN, and the Tanfoglio Limited/KCB-89AHN and, of course, the older airgun replicas like the GSG92/KMB-15AHN, the Tanfoglio Witness/KMB-76AHN and the Sig Sauer P226/KMB-74AHN.
The Desert Eagle is a fantastic semi-auto pistol. It has ABS plastic frame and everything else is metal (aluminum alloy). It shoots on average at 400fps (with 0.2 gram plastic BB), has a great accuracy at 25 feet and very strong blowback which feels even stronger than that for a .22cal pistol. Actually, during a first shooting session I placed my left hand thumb in a wrong place on the frame and the slide ripped it open and cut a piece of my thumb nail!
The SW40F is not bad but not so great as the Eagle. Its frame is made from ABS and the slide is metal. Its accuracy is worse than that for the Eagle but it shoots on average close to 380fps. On the top of it, after about 200 shots the metal slide developed a hairline crack. So far, the crack is not propagating but we will see.
The Tanfoglio Limited happens to be a piece of crap. After 100 shots now the slide gets stuck in the rear position after each shot and doesn’t spring forward. Now I have a nice paperweight.
The final message is that not everything what looks nice is going to be a really satysfying product. However, so far, the KWC products overall seem to be pretty solid.
