On Monday, July 19, I received my KWA M1911 MkIV in OD Green from Airsoft GI. They sent it in a weeks time. Today was the first time I had to put it through it's paces. I also bought two extra mags just in case High Point decides to have a Pistol and Shotgun Game (hint, hint).
Anyway, before I used it, I did clean it thoroughly and lubed it sparingly. However, I only got five rounds through it before it quite. As you can imagine, I was disappointed (just a little). It was chambering as it should and all functions worked (trigger pull, hammer fall, safeties, etc). It just wasn't getting any gas (and yes, I did put gas in the mags). All three mags functioned correctly when the valve was pushed separately, but not in the pistol. KWA wants me to send it in in order to possibly diagnose a new problem since I am the second or third person ever to send back this model. Isn't that a b#tch. Oh well. it's still under warranty but I still have to pay for shipping. At least I have my trusty G17. Glocks ALWAYS work. The front sight is gone, but it always works.
Anyway, does anyone have any issues with this new KWA M1911 Mark Series? I'd like to know, and so would KWA.
Remember, being a gun owner is a "Right", not a privilege. By being a responsible and safe gun owner (even Airsoft guns), we can help change the publics negative image of gun owners and Sports like this. Stay in the Fight.
