WE 1911A1 or WE Hi-Capa 5.1
27 March, 2010, 17:51
Evening everyone, been looking at two pistols but torn by the two. Both are alike and I like the two, but the money growls at me. Only to choose one...
You guys list the pros and cons of the two.
Old school 1911, or the new and modern '2011' - You decide !
-Post what you guys think! :D

Re: WE 1911A1 or WE Hi-Capa 5.1
Hi, new to the forum. I have used the 5.1 on many occasions, and unless you have a WW2 obsession, would really recomend it over the M1911. The 1911 only holds 15 BB's which was the main reason why I didnt buy one, whils the Hi-Capa holds 31 and you can now get 50 round mags for the trigger happy. Build quality is great (Better than any KJW or KWA ive used) and the cycle rate is quick for a metal gun. Nothing bad to say about it really, eccept the accasional slide-lock faliure a few batches had.

I hate the Glock look with a passion! Sorry to smash your likings.
Thats the thing, I like the double stack mag with the hi-capa, but the 1911a1 will fulfill almost any load-out...

If you like the Double stack but is also like the 1911, what about the Tokyo Marui? It holds 28 BBs, has full trades, and is the most accurate pistol ive ever shot.

Re: WE 1911A1 or WE Hi-Capa 5.1
That may be a consideration, but the money I will have to feed it is daunting!
I normally abuse my guns to the limit, I tend to use propane so I think that kicks TM out of my list, hence the feeding the pistol money. (metal slide, high valve... Etc, etc.)
But the option of CO2 makes me a happy bunny with the WE guns.
Is the WE 1911A1 compatible with Marui mags? - If this is the case, I think but highly doubt it, I may have a winner.

Unfortunatly not, most of the gun is compatable, but not the mags. But, most places -zero one springs to mind- sell it with 2 mags, so maybe the mag capacity isnt such a problem...

The poll is 50-50, it seems that the Hi-Capa is in the lead for performance.

I own the 1911, but I have friends with the 5.1 and have had a go. The 5.1 is a much more versatile pistol with the larger capacity mag and the beefy subtantial size of it. Plus theres lots of custom stuff for the 5.1's to make them look awesome, and you can add torches or lazer units to the rail, which the standard 1911 lacks. If you want a no nonsense backup, go the 1911, but if you want something a bit special, get the 5.1.

5.1 does. The 1911 has a very thin mag = low gas capacity
Another point to remember is that the 1911 sights are the old military style which are a pain in the a*** to aim with sometimes. Still, I would go for the 1911 since it looks better (can't stand these '2011s') and comes with two mags.
The TM 1911 runs fine on propane
