Product Description
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 a lighter weight due to modern materials. This model is successfully used by law enforcement as well as by the public for personal protection.
Exterior of the Replica
WE Hi-capa 5.1 K replica with minor modifications of STI 2011 tactical 5.0. 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, typical of the classic 1911. An 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 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.
