KJW Hi-Capa 5.1 KP-05 GBB

Brief History

Developed by STI International in 2011, it aims 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 thanks 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

This toy is manufactured by KJW primarily from metal. Due to the Hi-Capa platform, the grip is made from high-quality ABS plastic. This contributes to reducing weight, and in case of damage, this component can be easily replaced. The finish of the airsoft replica is very good, with the outer barrel being chrome-plated and the paint applied to the other components being very durable. The rear sight is adjustable. This toy replicates the safety features specific to the 2011, namely; the safety at the back of the grip, which does not allow the hammer to be activated without a firm grip on the pistol, and the hammer safety, which is ambidextrous.

Interior of the Replica

Since this airsoft replica is based on the Hi-Capa platform, the internals are compatible with this series, greatly expanding the horizon of upgrade and replacement possibilities if needed. The Hop-Up is adjustable from inside the toy. Thus, to adjust it, the slide needs to be removed. Once adjusted, this Hop-Up remains constant and does not change position during use. The airsoft replica has a velocity of approximately 90 meters per second measured with 0.20g BBs. It is recommended to use 0.25g BBs for optimal performance.

Power Supply

The airsoft replica operates correctly using Green Gas. In normal atmospheric conditions at temperatures above 15°C, with a gas charge, the toy can fire all the BBs from the magazine, and when they are finished, the slide is locked in the warning position indicating the end of the BBs.

A significant advantage of the airsoft replica is the ability to use standard CO2 magazines; the manufacturers KJW have designed the latest versions of this replica so that both gas and CO2 can be used without additional pressure on the firing system. The velocity will increase when using CO2, so be very careful with the game rules to not exceed the safety speed.

Periodically, the airsoft replica must be cleaned and lubricated according to the recommendations in the Service and Care section. This way, the airsoft replica can function correctly for a long time.
