Just picked up a TM 1911 so figured I'd share some pictures of it. Here they are.

Threesome ftw :D

Hmm...is it a new or a used gun? The packaging looks very different compared to mine. I have the green box version with the 'cloth' interior.

It's a springer. Yours is a GBB.

I always wanted the 1911 springer, but I got the M9 springer instead :(

When I first opened the thread, I saw the box, and my mouth dropped open...where'd you find yours?

Springer? THAT would explain it.

Same. Everytime one pops up in the sales section, it's usually gone within the hour, leaving at least 2 or 3 other potential buyers foaming at the mouth.

Thanks for the comments people.

I snagged it off of craigslist for $80. :D

As you can see the gun has VERY VERY few imperfections on it. Im so god damn stoked to have a TM 1911 again!

Now all I need to go with it is an MK2 an3 again maybe a few others.

If anyone wants to get rid of some springers, send me a message and we can talk.

What, the retaliers don't order them in?

mr.evo i too throught somthing was off, the gun itself also looks more black than grey like the gbb.

OK so its a springer, that explains the difference. Why is it so popular?

I was going to ask the same this as Evo... but makes sence now, nice aqquisition, I love my TM 1911 GBB, but I wouldnt mind having that springer for winter games..
Using GBB's in the winter is a death sentence for them.. So springers are handy backups, espcially if you get one thats the exact model as your GBB, then you can just swap and go.

Damn it, I used to own one of these, its a very, VERY high quality springer. The finish, detail, realism really shows true TM quality. I sold mine for $80 and still regret it.

hey BC_K, do you find craiglist reliable? im thinking about posting sum stuff on there to sell and maybe buy and was jus looking for sum opinion, thanks

If you want to get rid of that Colt Python,send me a message and I'll buy it right now. As most people are aware because I rant about it often, I've been searching for a 4 inch chrome revolver for AGES! and I'm getting really damn desperate. Nice lookin' pieces there. Good photo's too.

Not looking to sell ANY of them.

Ya craigslist is pretty reliable, tho has many stupid as hell buyers, an you have no real idea to tell just who is buying what your selling.

Springers during the winter are great, performance is not affected AT ALL unlike GBB's as previously mentioned, also no dead battery in the cold either.

So no retailers still sell them?

I'm sure retailers will still order them for you, it just seems noone keeps springers in stock anymore.

They are more or less a "collectors" item nowadays, tho theres many of us who do game with them, when we do.

Another fact also with springers, retailers can't really mark them up big time like higher priced items.

When people are airsofting, most people want to be able to FIRE RAPIDLY, many think springers are just cheap shit, but it's great when ya get a kill with one.

What the hell, springers can lock back with a working hammer? I never knew about this..
That's awesome!


Colt 1911, full metal?

1911 operates just like a single actions (except for having to manually cock the gun, but oh well thats what you pay.

Here is a quick video of the 1911, showing single action.

Now a video of the Bertta 92 for comparison.

Yes hammers are fully functional (To hold the slides open I stuck a pen up the magazine well and held them open for the pictures hehe.) I am yet to see a springer with a functional slide catch.

Oh BTW, no it is not FULL METAL, but I'm god damn sure I can get a metal slide/frame/ect and fit everything to it to create a FMU springer.

I have a dremel and LOTS of time on my hands to think about things on the night shift.

on most TM springers you can diddle with the safety to make it a slide catch

KWC P99 springers had working slide catches.... wish mine hadn't exploded, great springer.
