Knex M1911

Hi!
So this is my Knex M1911 handgun, and unlike most other Knex M1911guns this one actually looks very similar to the real thing! It is loaded through the handle and fires two different rounds, has very good sights that are accurate and the handle is very comfortable! It is has a relatively low piece count but even so, the overall gun is actually pretty heavy for a Knex handgun (which I think makes it even more realistic!). P&C:

PROS:
-Looks like the real thing!
-Very comfortable
-Integrated mag in the handle (non-removable)
-True Trigger
-Great iron sights
-Low piece count
-Weighty
-Doesn't use any broken pieces!

CONS:
-Sometimes loading is hard
-Trigger sometimes comes out (but not a huge problem as you can just push it back in again)
-Body parts sometimes fall off (but only very rarely)

Lets get building!

P.S I figured out how to fix a loading problem just look at picture 2, step two to see!!!!

i just realized this looks like a mod of entie1995 usp.45 pistol

cazadactle (author) in reply to TheAwesomestDudeNov 15, 2011. 12:12 AM

Maybe, I did build his pistol before hand but I wanted to make my own handgun so when making this one I started from scotch and anyway the handle and body design is completely different...

haha lol i meant scratch... :D

geodez in reply to cazadactleDec 4, 2011. 7:35 AM

TheAwesomestDude in reply to cazadactleNov 15, 2011. 3:14 PM

Looks good!

cazadactle (author) in reply to skyfallerNov 24, 2011. 9:30 AM

thanks!

Seleziona says: Nov 16, 2011. 9:57 AM

Looks very good :) I love Knex pistols, but not ones that use mags in the handles. That's why the m1911 I made is a single shot.. I also think yours looks as good or better than mine.

cazadactle (author) in reply to SelezionaNov 16, 2011. 12:50 PM

thanks but your M1911 kinda made me want to build one myself, and because I don't have very many pieces (I ordered some yesterday) I thought it would be a good idea to make one. Thanks!

Seleziona in reply to cazadactleNov 18, 2011. 6:37 AM

Cool :) And your welcome!

geodez says: Nov 13, 2011. 9:30 AM

I like this one a little better than Seleziona's, its design is a lot smoother, and it fits its original shape a lot better (the handle was far too long on his.) Also it repeats, which is good.

cazadactle (author) in reply to geodezNov 14, 2011. 6:24 PM

thanks!

geodez in reply to cazadactleNov 14, 2011. 6:19 PM
