I have a production Springfield 1911A1. I'm tired of dry firing and re-racking after each time. I'm looking for an airsoft that allows me to shoot at home, and so I've been reading the reviews and posts on this forum. It seems that people are looking for the overall realism and quality, so their concerns do not exactly coincide with mine, and so I feel I need to post a specific inquiry. As long as the airsoft 1911 fits into my holster and the trigger feels close to an average real 1911, I'm happy. I don't need an expensive airsoft gun that looks realistic or good. I need something that *feels* realistic. It can be ugly. Affordable is good (say, $80-$140).
I understand that most airsoft 1911s have racegun triggers, and I also understand that there is a range of trigger weight and feel among real guns. (I'm guessing I need around 4 lbs for a trigger.) Which airsoft comes the closest?
Also, it would be nice to have an airsoft that has realistic recoil, but I'm guessing that's impossible. What are my options here? I understand there is apparently some sort of mechanism you can adjust. Is it worth it?
Finally, what do you recommend for targets? I notice there are these square traps, which seem like a good idea for keeping the pellets under control. Are there other similar options I ought to consider?
Thanks a lot!
