The real government m1911 weights 2.44 lb with a magazine unloaded, so the WE is fairly close at 2.268 unloaded, only another 30 grams would be added with it full of .2g bb's, and the blackwater weighs a measly 1.1lb.

The blackwater does have weight holes in the grips but they are filled and I doubt switching to lead would make a huge amount of difference, not sure, you could try casting some lead the right size in some sand. Not really much you can do to make it weigh as much as the real steel or we though.

Thanks for doing that, and all for the other comments.
