Another handgun that I'm crazy about is the airsoft gas blowback 1911 model. There are a couple on the market that I think are really great. The 1911 is a powerhouse, kicking way harder than most handguns, and extremely cool to look at.
I'm particularly crazy about the sleek steel varieties: when you slap that 95mm mock-silencer on there, you look like you're ready to perform a mob rubout. These are insanely dangerous, formidable-looking guns. I believe that is the key to their lasting appeal.

Of course, then there's the little matter of firepower, and the 1911's got it. Again, a handgun that does 300 fps (feet per second) is nobody's sweetheart but your own. The long barrel and hop-up system also make this a very accurate handgun, in the right hands.
So I'll make no apologies about my ga-ga response to the airsoft gas blowback 1911. Priced right in the neighborhood of $100 (give or take $20, depending on the model and make), it's one of the very next airsoft purchases on my list. I frankly can't wait.
