I didn't see anything about this and it came out of nowhere, no brand is named unless they want to call themselves Wilson Combat
$140 fullmetal, looks kinda tempting. http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?...2c78d77870f4908 (IMG:http://www.airsoftgi.com/images/pic-032-wilson-combat-J.jpg) This post has been edited by CrazyJ: Jul 25 2008, 01:33 AM -------------------- |

Looks like WE got wilson licensing rights...
Look right on the trigger guard http://www.airsoftgi.com/images/pic-026-wilson-combat-D.jpg? --------------------  |

But the trades are not correct & lets face it - WE 1911's are junk.

It definitely looks like a WE 1911 though, and the Novak rear looks very out of place as Wilsons usually have Bomars. -------------------- selling enhanced WE M4 part #59 in sus304 stainless steel. shoot me a pm for details.

It is WE. You can tell by hammer housing. WE always uses hi-capa style "side-slap" design.

Yep just a WE Tactical with some trades and a wilson grip. What a waste. IF at least KJ or CA did it you could have used all of the TM upgrades on it an made it decent.

not at all a WE tactical
differences: all black 3 hole trigger (instead of the tac's 3 slot) grips trademarks (though incorrect) and my WE m1911 tac is not junk. great pistol i just might buy this one too. and definately the marui meu (when it comes out eventually... been waiting too long) -Joe -------------------- "AS MARINES, OUR MESSAGE TO OUR FOES HAS ALWAYS BEEN ESSENTIALLY THE SAME: WE OWN THIS SIDE OF THE STREET!

Please....Joe.
You have this gun and don't see ? Shape of the slide and frame, magazine, safeties, sights.... It's just WE with some trades and Wilson grips. Nothing more. You installed gunners grips on Your WE and it's Marsoc for You. If You are happy about that it's fine. But this is just WE tactical and won't be Wilson Combat model only with grips. Lack of proper magazine relase, thumb safety, sights, and many small things You can see on Western Arms models ... This is just poor try in my opinion. |

I don't think Joe is arguing that it is made by WE. He was just pointing out that there are more differances between this and the Tac than just the trades and grips.

The finish on all WEs makes me cry.
I would much rather have one of these in decent plastic. -------------------- *brrrrr*

regardless of any nitpicking at this point its more a legit wilson combat than anything in the airsoft world,as its a legal product and not a counterfiet item. i would pay more for a correct high quality legal one in a heartbeat,but for now im taking the plunge on this one.

Personaly, having owned various WE's recent GBBs, I have no problems with whatever metal they used to make it. But the poor finish is always my concern. Sure I could replaint it but it is not as easy for someone like me living in a tiny apartment. If they used proper anodising or even use higher quality spray paints, it would make it a LOT better. -------------------- Shop recommended, OCT 09: WGCSHOP [excellent customer service, timely communication]
