Anyone seen this yet?

Billed as the companion pistol to the KAC PDW due out anytime soon.



Also, they have M92 C02 mags.

Sorry if this is dupe news, but haven't seen it.

Ben.

This I will be buying.

Some of the text catches my eye.

I'm thinking tightbore barrel as standard, it's got an anondised finish, and 'extensive CNC treatment', whatever that means...

Ben.

"limited 100 pieces"_ I wonder if any of us will see these

I think that was talking about the RS version...

(copy text posted in the WE Novak Next thread, paste)
It's pretty silly though to have all these re-traded WEs calling themselves as Novak or Wilson Combat or Knighthawk(I think thats the next one). 1911 is a pretty basic gun, so many people make it, and all that really seperates from one to the other is the sight, the trades, the grips and the controls. If you can't bother to make those right before you call them by their specific type, why really bother to go out of your way and get it licensed.....

RM since you can copy and paste, SO CAN I!!!! LOL

Because they can sell more (You know, make more money) , and some people are not over complicating gun nerds and just like to look at neat markings and have a cool case. Personally, I like the look and wouldn't mind paying for it.

replied to the other thread...

Likewise....

This would look tits with a nice set of wood grips

I have seen that one before.. Posted 19.october..

Score! Must have one. It'll complete the look when I get the KAC PDW

I think that looks pretty sweet... I've never seen golf ball slide dimpling before. Holes look a bit too big for me though, i reckon it'd look better if they'd used smaller dents.

Strategy seems to have worked for WA, wouldn't you say?

Looks good but if you ask me they need to stop dinking around with other projects and finish the PDW, I'm waiting.

And here I thought fish scale slide serrations were hard to swallow. Though for what little licensing fee WE has been churning out, they're saving loads on the R&D (or copy pasta) by keeping to the simple 1911 which has an almost infinite number of iterations. While it may look dull and boring to some (like how some would complain "not another armalite") those who appreciate it will be delighted to have the correct trades of a very specific build they like. I don't particularly like this one, but if they stray towards making Bob Chow replicas, I'm definitely buying.

Anyone know when its coming?

Pretty nice looking pistol although that photo is heavily shopped. Will be interesting to see what the quality is like in hand. Im excited that its supposed anodized which is a definite step up from the painted 1911's currently ruling the market.

But when WA release a 1911 variant, 99% of the time they accurately portray the model they claim it to be.

GTFO. You didn't post it here, and it's news to me.

Anyone else not really digging the trades? Love the serrations though.

Ben.

looks pretty accurate to me, thumb safety off maybe?

looks like a mix between a 1911 and a golfball

It still looks oddly attractive

My comment was aimed more towards the Novak Next model. The KnightHawk looks like a pretty close copy. Doing a quick comparison it seems the thumb safety, slide catch and the checkering on the front strap are wrong. Then theres minor stuff like, grip texture, extra marking on trigger guard, lanyard loop on mainspring housing and wrong colored barrel bushing and spring plug. Of course those last few things are pretty minor, so overall its pretty good.

I'm still waiting for a custom LAV 1911 replica

To me it's looks plain ugly.

it looks super ugly

but i will buy one because i love the pdw so much

even though i hate WE as their guns are so *suitcase* and poorly made

LOL? WE hater? Their guns arnt that bad, Come on...... You get what U pay for... and you pay 90 bucks for a full metal GBB..... Do you really expect it to run forever? I know i dont. BTW, I have seen people getting lucky with some of the newer WE GBBs.

Well for my $90 I'd buy the KJW....full TM clone, and runs better than WE(which btw, KJW is coming out with their own single stack MEU)....but then I'd be lying, I like wasting my money on expensive guns...lol

I don't like golf.

REALLY don't like that.
Never had a problem with my WE 1911.
Got it the first day AirsoftScotland or world had them in stock.

Though it looks like the real one (at least in the broader details), I don't like the golfball slide treatment much. I do like the grips though.

IMO they should just have made straight copy of Kimber SIS. That would have made more sense with that distinctive rear sight and all.

It's a tigh in with the PDW not it's WETTI not WE or SOCOM Gear. But as they know have that style sight a Kimber will probably be along soon.

Looks like my car after being shot up by prankster with paintball

THAT THING IS BASED ON A REAL GUN??


its a dimpled 1911 :/

Slide Stop and Grip Safety, too.

Looks good, but makes me wonder how far it would travel if I whacked it with a three wood.

There's something oddly beautiful about that pistol. Although I still think I'm gonna go with an MEU, I don't really see the performance advantage of the dimples.

According to Mythbuster, it'll get better gas mileage too....

More airtime if you throw it.
Boomerang-style, even.

I think the whole golf ball thing i something to do with cooling the real steel version, making it lighter and easier to forward rack, just looks wrong on the grip though

Lets face it KAC make the best real steel weapons

This was made to go with the new KAC M16/M4 which has the same treatment as the PDW

Also here is another shot of the pistol (real steel)

RS golf ball dimple on the barrel of the KAC rifle can be use as some sort of cooling/lightening/metalergical enhancement. On the pistol, its just to match with the styling of the rifle.....Like the scaling of the Kimber Raptor or the "SIS" of the SIS Kimbers....styling cues...I'd hardly think the golf ball dimple helps for pistol grasping or slide manipulation, at least comparing to traditional checking and stippling.

(Wonder if Titleist saw this yet...) "Dimpling" can have advantages in RS barrel lightening and cooling-for this GBB, it's more for looks. Novak makes good RS .45's, while WE's GBB's are ok/iffy sometimes. +1 for WE's machining prowess and innovation in new releases, but its not for me.

humm... unveiled at 2009 Shot Show? I don't remember it. Where was it displayed?!

The RS one was with the KAC booth I think, at least thats what the real steel pic online shown...

WHAT A BEAUTY.... i want me one...

It's like when people buy shoes just to match their hat. Ridiculous.

(I've done that a lot tho

I will be getting one of these.
But I'm still waiting for the Hi Power...

Limited to 100 pieces?

Darnit, that means its gonna be pricey and doubt I will see it here. I am beginning to really like the 1911 in any form.

B

I think the RS is limited to 100 pc, I don't think the WE is...

It's too bad WE refuse make a decent set of internals. I'd be very tempted if it weren't for their deserved reputation.
