A full size 1911 style CO2 pistol with metal construction and blowback for authentic recoil and slide action. The SA 1911 Seventies runs on a single 12 g CO2 capsule and feeds steel BBs from an 18 round magazine. Expect typical pistol level velocities around 314 fps and modest muzzle energy that places it firmly in the recreational shooting category. Because it fires steel BBs, always use a proper backstop and eye protection and avoid shooting at hard targets where ricochets are likely. The metal build gives decent heft and handling, making it a good choice if you want the look and feel of a 1911 without the regulatory burden of higher power firearms.
