EMG Salient Arms International 1911 RED Airsoft Gas Blowback Pistol

EMG Salient Arms International 1911 RED Airsoft Gas Blowback Pistol

The EMG Salient Arms 1911 RED is a no-nonsense gas blowback airsoft pistol that blends classic 1911 styling with modern tactical upgrades straight from the Salient Arms playbook. This isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about building a sidearm that shoots smooth, handles fast, and holds its own whether you're in a fast-paced skirmish or refining your technique on the training range.

EMG’s collaboration with Salient Arms continues in fine form here. The RED 1911 is CNC machined from aluminium alloy, giving it that real-steel heft and a rock-solid feel without becoming cumbersome. At 219mm in length and weighing 780g, it feels exactly how a proper airsoft pistol should—balanced, controlled, and ready to draw at a moment’s notice.

The slide is beautifully milled with precision lightening cuts to keep reciprocating mass low and cycle speeds high. Whether you're double-tapping down a hallway or chasing follow-up shots outdoors, this thing tracks smoothly. Up top, the anti-glare slide top and competition-style fibre optic front sight are designed for visibility and speed. Pair that with a cleanly cut rear sight and you've got a fast, intuitive sight picture that works in any lighting condition.

Under the hood, the RED 1911 runs on the Tokyo Marui 1911 gas system, so upgrading or sourcing parts is hassle-free. The included magazine delivers a consistent 320 FPS muzzle velocity and features a stylised SAI base plate for added flair and grip. Combine that with a 109.9mm inner barrel and you get tight groupings and solid performance right out of the box.

The controls are all there and beautifully executed—ambidextrous thumb safety, functional grip safety, and a match-grade trigger that breaks crisp with minimal travel. Reloads are lightning quick thanks to the extended magwell, and the textured grip panels plus interchangeable backstrap help tailor the fit to your preference. Every detail here speaks to a shooter’s mindset—from the flat trigger shoe to the reinforced outer barrel with inner threading, it's clear this airsoft pistol was built with real use in mind.

Functionally, the 1911 RED performs like you'd expect from a premium GBB pistol. The blowback is strong, the cycling is sharp, and the gas efficiency holds up over extended use. The 20mm rail beneath the dust cover is ready for lights or lasers, letting you kit out the pistol for CQB or low-light scenarios without compromise.

Whether you're a 1911 purist who wants a modern edge or just someone looking for a high-performance airsoft handgun that feels and looks the part, the EMG SAI RED 1911 is a standout choice. It’s sleek, it’s powerful, and it’s ready to take on any role you throw at it—from backup sidearm to primary in pistol-only games.
