Description

WE 1911 Honeycomb Co2 Blowback Air Pistol, 4.5mm Silver

The WE 1911 Honeycomb Co2 Blowback Air Pistol 4.5mm Silver  (Model WE-45-E016-SV ) takes the revered 1911 platform and infuses it with a decidedly modern, tactical flair.

While the base design pays homage to the John Browning classic, the unique hexagonal (“Honeycomb” or “Hex Cut”) styling on the slide and grip panels transforms its aesthetic into a high-performance custom piece.

This is a silver, full-metal, Co2-powered pistol designed for the enthusiast who demands both iconic history and contemporary customization in their airgun. Built for realistic handling and dynamic shooting, the WE 1911 Honeycomb Co2 Pistol delivers a powerful and satisfying experience using 4.5mm (.177 caliber) steel BBs.

Distinctive Honeycomb Aesthetics and Build Quality

The defining feature of the WE-45-E016-BK is its aggressive custom machining. The slide features large, forward and rear hexagonal cuts, enhancing the pistol’s visual appeal and providing superior manipulation grip—a significant functional improvement over standard slide serrations.

Complementing the slide are the polymer grip panels, which typically feature a matching honeycomb or hexagonal texture. This design is not merely for looks; it provides an exceptionally secure and comfortable purchase on the weapon, which is vital when managing the potent blowback action. As a full-metal construction, the WE 1911 Air Pistol maintains the authentic, heavy weight of a genuine 1911, solidifying its place as a premium replica. The black finish is deep and uniform across all metal components, highlighting the high-contrast custom cuts.

Performance and Blowback Realism

Powering the pistol is the standard 12g Co2 cartridge, typically housed within the drop-free magazine. This system ensures consistent pressure for propelling the 4.5mm steel BBs.

Crucially, the WE 1911 Honeycomb Co2 Blowback features a powerful, full-blowback system. This means the metal slide cycles with every shot, producing a satisfying recoil that enhances the feeling of shooting a genuine firearm.

This full cycle also locks the slide back on the final shot, allowing the shooter to conduct realistic drills. The experience is loud, snappy, and deeply immersive, making it a favourite for shooters looking for an authentic training experience without the cost of live ammunition.

Enhanced Features for Tactical Use

The “Honeycomb” version often includes features beyond the basic 1911 model that cater to tactical shooters:

• Beaver-Tail Grip Safety: Ensures the pistol is only fired when held properly, a classic 1911 safety mechanism.

• Skeletonized Hammer and Trigger: These lightweight components not only look custom but may slightly improve the responsiveness of the single-action trigger pull.

• Extended Magazine Catch: Often a feature on these tactical variants, an extended catch allows for faster, more natural magazine changes.

These details underscore the fact that the WE 1911 Honeycomb Co2 Air Pistol is designed to function not just as a plinker, but as a genuine replica for serious enthusiasts or training professionals.

Maintenance and Longevity

To ensure the long life of your WE Honeycombe 1911 Air Pistol , routine maintenance is recommended. A few drops of silicone oil applied to the Co2 piercing mechanism and the slide rails will keep the seals supple and the action smooth. The robust all-metal construction is inherently durable, but consistent lubrication is key to preventing wear and tear, especially in the slide assembly.

The fixed sights on this model are rugged and generally hold zero reliably, requiring little to no adjustment. However, understanding the trajectory of 4.5mm steel BBs is important for achieving accurate shots, as they drop faster than traditional airgun pellets. Regular cleaning of the smooth bore barrel is also advisable to maintain peak performance and accuracy over time.
