Hello,
Considering my age and my local laws, there will still be some time before I can own a real 1911. I figure I can spend those years familiarising myself properly with it. However, I have some questions regarding the realism of the airsoft guns;
The trigger. How is the trigger break? Is it heavy and mushy, so that I'll end up jerking the trigger of a real 1911? I'd rather not be dry-practicing a shoddy trigger and then spend years grinding down that malpractice.
The thumb safety. Does it click on and off like the real one or is it much lighter? Another area of the draw which could be ruined if I practice with an easy safety.
The hammer/main spring/recoil spring. Is the cocking motion even close to being as heavy as the real one? Again, I'll probably be quite a spectacle trying to ready a real 1911 after cocking a plastic pistol for two years if it's not close.
edit: More importantly, given that most of those will probably get a negative response, is it possible to change this for the better with more metal parts and less plastic/pot metal?
