AW Custom HX2601

Brief History

Developed by STI International in 2011, this pistol is designed to provide the public with a modern version of the classic 1911. Among the advantages of the new model are; an increased magazine capacity, the caliber of the pistol reduced from 0.45 ACP (11.5mm) to 9mm, reduced recoil, and due to modern materials, a lighter weight. This model is successfully used by law enforcement as well as by the public for personal protection.

Exterior of the Replica

AW Custom replica with minor aesthetic and design modifications and the addition of a mini RedDot. It is entirely constructed from metal and all the specific Hi Capa elements are where they should be, with an active safety located on the grip and a hammer safety, characteristic of the classic 1911. One advantage of this design is that once a certain component is damaged, it can be individually replaced due to the multitude of parts available on the market.

At the bottom, the airsoft replica, like a real weapon, is equipped with a 22 mm rail that can support a wide variety of accessories such as flashlights, lasers, and other tactical devices.

Interior of the Replica

The internal components are very similar to those of the 1911 but unfortunately do not fit exactly. Therefore, it is recommended to use components specifically manufactured for the HiCapa model. The quality of the internal components is good. The airsoft replica is equipped with an adjustable Hop-Up system accessible by disassembling the slide (the outer casing). The adjustment is precise and the final position remains fixed. The ball speed is approximately 85-90 meters per second using 0.20g weight BBs. It is recommended to use quality BBs weighing 0.20g for optimal performance.

Power Supply

The airsoft replica operates optimally with green gas. Under optimal temperature and operating conditions, the replica is capable of cycling the entire magazine with a gas fill.

Maximum performance is achieved at ambient temperatures above 15°C. Periodically, the airsoft replica should be cleaned and lubricated according to the recommendations in the Service and Care section.
