Tokyo Marui Colt M45A1 CQB Black GBB Airsoft Pistol

Tokyo Marui Colt M45A1 CQB Black GBB Airsoft Pistol

The Tokyo Marui M45A1 CQB Black Gas Blowback Pistol is what happens when classic military heritage meets modern airsoft performance. Inspired by the Colt M45A1 CQB adopted by the US Marine Corps in the early 2000s, this gas-powered airsoft handgun blends rugged, battlefield-ready looks with upgraded internals that’ll put a grin on any airsofter’s face. It’s still got that unmistakable 1911 silhouette—but with a tactical edge that means business.

Slide this pistol out of the box and the first thing you’ll notice is the matte black finish and G10-style grip panels—those are laser-etched to mimic the real laminated grips. It’s all very true-to-form, down to the Novak licensed rear sight that gives you fast target acquisition with a clear sight picture. The under-barrel rail is molded directly into the frame, giving you that classic Picatinny real estate for mounting lights or lasers—because sometimes, you just need to light up the room, literally.

Now let’s talk performance. Tokyo Marui didn’t just slap a fresh coat of paint on a 1911 and call it a day. Internally, this GBB pistol features a completely redesigned blowback engine. You get crisper recoil, a snappy cycle, and improved gas efficiency compared to older TM 1911 models. It uses the same amount of gas as the standard 1911 platform, but the kick? Definitely beefier. There’s also a short recoil system built in, which adds a stable, consistent feel during firing. Honestly, it feels like a tuned race pistol—but straight from the factory.

The metal notch spacer is a clever little upgrade. Hidden inside the ABS slide, it prevents the slide stop from chewing up the slide over time. That means you can shoot hard and fast, knowing your slide won’t be worn down prematurely. That’s the kind of thoughtful engineering TM is known for. The magazine, by the way, is a die-cast 27-rounder that shrugs off cold weather better than most—great for those chillier skirmish days where green gas starts acting up.

Weight-wise, it comes in at around 823 grams with the mag in, so it’s got enough heft to feel real without being a burden. The inner barrel is 113mm, giving you tight groupings at skirmish distances. Pair this with high-quality BBs and low-pressure gas like Nuprol 1.0 or 144a, and you’ll be dropping accurate follow-up shots without a hiccup. Just don’t go stuffing in green gas—this isn’t built for high-pressure use, and you’ll risk wrecking the internals.

In the hand, it’s comfortable, familiar, and solid. The grip angle is pure 1911, which many players swear by for natural pointing. Combine that with the upgraded recoil and reliable cycling, and you've got an airsoft GBB pistol that performs brilliantly in CQB or as a backup in outdoor games. It’s not flashy—it’s functional, dependable, and built for those who appreciate a good trigger squeeze and a clean slide return.

If you’re a fan of the .45 platform or just want a reliable sidearm with military roots and Tokyo Marui finesse, the M45A1 CQB Black GBB is definitely worth a look. It’s the kind of pistol that feels right at home in a MOLLE holster on your plate carrier, waiting for when things get up close and personal.
