Tanfoglio Witness 1911 .177 Cal CO₂ Blowback Airgun – Full Metal, Black
Experience the ultimate basement trainer with the Tanfoglio Witness 1911 .177 Cal CO₂ Airgun. Built with a heavy-duty full-metal construction, this replica matches standard 1911 dimensions and weight, allowing it to fit standard 1911 holsters perfectly while offering identical physical feedback. Officially licensed with authentic Tanfoglio trademarks, it delivers crisp gas blowback action, making it ideal for practicing draw-to-fire sequences and tactical reloads without the cost of live 9mm or .45 ACP ammunition.
Overview
Powered by a single 12g CO₂ cartridge housed directly inside the drop-free 18-round magazine, the Witness 1911 provides a fast, loud, and surprisingly heavy cycle with every trigger pull. Chronographing right around 300 to 330 FPS, it strikes the ideal 'Goldilocks' zone for backyard target shooting and knocking over cans.
Featuring a 1:1 control layout with a working frame-mounted safety and classic GI-style fixed sights, this semi-automatic airgun offers authentic handling. Important Note: This is a .177 caliber airgun firing steel BBs, making it strictly unsuitable for airsoft field play. Keep it on the target range where it belongs.
