Choosing a Side-arm

so I was thinking of getting a side-arm, probably semi automatic. I was thinking a gas pistol, maybe a awesome looking version of 1911 I found or if I can find one maybe a Desert Eagle.

NOTE: I am looking on evike because they have great selection.

WE or KJW for the 1911... you wont go wrong.

I really don't suggest getting a Desert Eagle.
Holsters, replacement parts, accessories...just going to be hard to find.
Plus the slide is much heavier/larger and will waste alot of gas just racking that back and forth with each shot. Not worth your money IMO.

Evike...definitely.
Check out the KJW C02 1911's...I have one, its great.
I also have a WE 1911...like it alot...

There is also a retailer in your locale that you may wish to support...its called Toledo Airsoft. Heres a link to their site: http://www.toledoairsoft.com/store/

found one of those CO2 1911's:

as you may have noticed if I get a sidearm want it to be full metal.
also thank you for the link to the local store, I'll look into it.

the first gun I linked to was a WE and it had decent FPS for the range I'd be using it at (I really don't want to shoot my 11-12 year old friends with a 500 FPS gun)
so think the "KnightHawk" would be worth it?

I always say this whenever the question of a sidearm comes up, so here we go. the G&G EXTREME .45!!!! I use it personally, and it has range and accuracy that far excedded my expectations. It is co2, and i usually can get 3-5 mags worth of use out of a 12gram cartridge.
Also, after a few shots it settles down in the fps category, but generally the first 10 shots or so range from 700-1000 FPS on a fresh CO2 cartridge. Also, it is a fairly large gun, but will fit in most hoslsters, though you may want to use the strap provided to hold the gun in.

I highly recommend it!

NO NO NO!

.....that...thing has massive air leaks...it shoots anywhere from 300 to 600 FPS! J-U-N-K

KWA make really nice gas pistols.....for a sniper (like myself) the TM MK23 is Godd. Its is silent with the included suppressor and super accurate with .3 bb's.

its is a little pricey but its a TM and will probably out live ANY airsoft pistol.

Socom Gear 1911. You cannot go wrong with that gun as a sidearm.

Yes and also be aware that most fields DO NOT allow CO2 becouse of the randomness in FPS (and it can get VERY high..soo not good to hit someone with it)

WE, KJW are both good...but agian make sure it;s green gas or propane to give you maximun playability(yay new word) in all fields.

I recommend the KWA USP or the KWA 1911. If it's raw power you want, KJW MK1. I've been thinking about buying one of those just for fun.
