Raven M1911 MEU Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Tactical Black

Raven M1911 MEU Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Tactical Black

Looking for that classic sidearm feel with modern features baked in? The Raven M1911 MEU Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Tactical Black delivers exactly that—a no-nonsense, battle-proven design updated for today’s skirmishes. Built by Nuprol under their RAVEN lineup, this airsoft pistol combines the timeless lines of the 1911 platform with solid metal construction, reliable gas operation, and a few tactical twists to keep you in the fight longer and stronger.

Let’s get straight to it—this is a full-metal airsoft pistol. From the frame to the slide, the construction is sturdy and gives a satisfying kick with every shot. The only polymer you’ll find here is in the textured grip panels, which are removable and grippy enough to stay locked into your hand whether you’re running gloves or bare-handed. It feels weighty in all the right ways—around 1200g—and it’s built to take the knocks of field use.

Performance-wise, you’re looking at a steady 300 FPS with 0.20g BBs. The blowback action is snappy and consistent thanks to the alloy slide, and the skeletonised trigger (with those signature drilled holes) adds a bit of flair while shaving down the weight for a faster cycle. The outer barrel is threaded with an 11mm CCW thread—ready for suppressors or tracer units if you’re running low-light missions or just want to keep things stealthy. Just add a thread adapter and you’re good to go.

The slide itself has deep front and rear serrations to help with racking, even in wet or muddy conditions. They also trim a little weight off the top, improving slide speed and giving you quicker follow-up shots. The hop-up is adjustable and sits under the slide, which can be accessed easily when field stripping—ideal for tweaking your shot trajectory depending on BB weight or skirmish scenario.

Safety features? The Raven M1911 MEU has you covered. There’s an ambidextrous manual safety lever located under the thumb rest area, which can double up as a gas pedal thumb rest for controlling recoil. Combine that with the beavertail grip safety—an iconic 1911 trait—and you’ve got a pistol that won’t fire unless you’re holding it properly. That kind of layered safety design is what makes the MEU a solid choice for fast-paced CQB or pistol-only days.

On the rear of the grip, there’s a lanyard loop built in. It might seem like a small detail, but it could save your pistol from disappearing into the underbrush or bouncing off a hard floor. Whether you're holstering for a dynamic entry or transitioning from your primary, it’s one less thing to worry about.

The Tactical Black finish gives it that serious operator vibe—slick, stealthy, and ready to roll. Because it's a single-tone finish, UKARA or a similar defence is required unless you opt for a two-tone version. It doesn’t come with gas in the box, so make sure you grab some green gas or CO2 depending on your preferred mag setup—this pistol is compatible with both.
