Army Armament M1911 Hi-Kick Gas Blowback Full Metal Airsoft Pistol – Desert Tan
There’s something about the classic 1911 silhouette that just never goes out of style—and the Army Armament M1911 Hi-Kick GBB in Desert Tan proves that timeless design can still hit hard in the modern airsoft game. This full metal airsoft pistol combines rugged battlefield realism with reliable field performance, all wrapped in a handsome tan finish that screams military heritage.
Built on the battle-tested M1911 platform, this pistol echoes the Marine Corps MEU variant designed for Force Recon in the late 1980s. The concept was simple: take one of the most dependable handguns ever made and update it to meet the demands of modern warfare. And while this version doesn’t spit lead, it definitely holds up its end of the bargain on the skirmish field. With a solid kick, smooth action, and satisfying weight, it’s a sidearm that feels as real as it looks.
The build is full metal from top to bottom. Slide, frame, barrel—all metal. Even the pins and key internals are steel where it counts. Lighter, shock-absorbing materials like polymer are used where appropriate, helping balance durability and performance. Weighing in at around 1kg, this GBB pistol feels substantial in the hand, and the recoil action delivers a sharp, punchy snap with each shot. It’s the kind of sidearm that doesn’t just look authentic—it feels it.
Engraved trademarks and textured grip panels elevate the look and feel, making it a treat for collectors and players alike. Those grips aren’t just cosmetic either—they provide a firm, no-nonsense hold whether you’re sweating it out in a summer skirmish or running gloves in colder weather. Prefer a more classic wooden aesthetic? No problem. The grip panels are replaceable, just be sure the screw holes match before buying your upgrades.
On the performance side, you’re looking at a consistent muzzle velocity of around 280 to 300 FPS on green gas, making it ideal for CQB scenarios and suitable for most outdoor skirmish fields. The adjustable hop-up is hidden beneath the slide, letting you fine-tune your shots for optimal range and trajectory. With a 110mm inner barrel and a 26-round magazine, you’ve got everything you need to back yourself up in tight situations or run it as a stealthy primary in pistol-only games.
Safety-wise, the classic 1911 grip safety is in full play here. The pistol won’t fire unless the grip is firmly pressed—reducing the chance of accidental firing when it’s holstered. It’s a tried-and-tested design that’s just as relevant today as it was over a century ago. And unlike some striker-fired platforms, the external hammer means you can instantly see if your pistol is cocked and ready. No guesswork, no surprises—just old-school functionality that works when it matters most.
All things considered, the Army Armament M1911 Hi-Kick GBB is a tough, stylish, and affordable gas blowback pistol that delivers classic 1911 charm with skirmish-ready reliability. Whether you're a collector who appreciates historical detail or a player who wants a no-nonsense, high-performing airsoft handgun, this one ticks all the boxes.
