Tanfoglio Witness 1911 BB Pistol
The Tanfoglio 1911 BB pistol is a real surprise, even if it’s a replica of the original. Now it’s time for the guys who make the BB guns to report back and give us a few stats on the velocity and accuracy of their weapons.
This may be the most accurate BB gun I’ve ever tested. Because I said almost the same thing about the SIG Sauer SP 2022 BB pistol back when I tested it in May, that statement deserves an explanation.
The SIG Sauer SP 2022 has been a very accurate rifle and has helped many hunters get great results for years. I saw it. It was a little below the centre of the target.
The Tanfoglio shoots dead-center, every time. When I saw how many rounds it was taking to knock the targets out of the ring, I knew I needed to try it. These groups are definitely not as good as the ones shot with the SIG, but at least they ended up somewhere.

Tanfoglio Witness 1911 BB Pistol Feeling
I know that a particular gun is a good’un when I can’t stop pulling the trigger. It didn’t happen too often, but it sure did with this Tanfoglio. I stood in front of the net shooting five shots a time with rests between.
If you were to use this target for shooting, you would have to shoot with your eyes closed and only look at the front sight. It’s rare, but sometimes it happens and it’s a problem. With 40 shots, I was ready to call it a day.

After that, my arms were really tired, so I couldn’t do it again. It’s nice to know that a gun is always there for you and makes you do your best because it will always encourage you. Most people didn’t think they would say that about a BB gun either, but I promise it works better than a BB pistol.
The best BB magazine that I’ve ever used is the 20-shot stick magazine. Pull the tab off the center of the case and it’ll unlock. The BBs seem to pour in the opening, and there is a groove to help align a bunch of BBs for the loading hole.
Speed
With Velocity With Daisy zinc-plated BBs, I got two different velocities. The CO2 cartridge was at its best when it was new. It averaged 410 fps.
With a spread from 396 to a high of 416, as the cartridge neared depletion. Tanfoglio BBs have an average FPS of 414 when the Co2 cartridge is new.
Noise
So many shots you get 60 in one cartridge, but not quite 80, so that last magazine has to be watched. The CO2 piercing screw is inconvenient to operate because the battery has to be held up to it while you’re putting it on.

Put the piercing screw in until you hear a hissing noise. Then quickly put it all the way in to secure it. Use Crosman Pellet Ammunition Oil on every cartridge.
Trigger Pull
The trigger pull is what you’d expect from a real 1911 automatic pistol—a single action with a smooth hammer drop. It is light and short. If the above examples do not provide a suitable solution, please contact us with detailed
Accuracy
I got about a two inch grouping from 20 feet away shooting 8 shots with one hand, and the same groupings were achieved by using the other hand.
Realism
This is a replica of the most iconic firearm in American history. It’s the 1911 in every way except for the metal. If you want more than just what you’ve got, you’re going to have to pick yourself up a real.

Pros
This is an extremely realistic replica of an actual Colt 1911 A1 handgun. It is a quality weapon that feels good in the hand, and it is made out of a high quality metal.
This would make an excellent training gun because it functions just like the real steel 1911.45 handgun. Blowback, or recoil, is one of the most realistic things you can add to a rifle.
This was built in 1911 and just like the original, it’s made from stainless steel for years of use and reliability. This is a good accurate shooting gun for this style of gun, it works well and is made with good quality.
Cons
It’s hard to load up, but I find it really effective. It does not have any adjustable sights, so you will not be able to make any adjustments to the scope before firing.

Colt 1911 Real Steel Background
The Colt 1911 handgun is the evolution of earlier handguns, such as the Colt Model 1900. It was designed by legendary U.S. firearms designer John Moses Browning, and became one of the most successful handguns ever made.
The Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) was developed by John Browning to meet a US Army requirement for a modern, recoil-operated, heavy machinegun suitable for use by infantry. The U.S. military wanted a gun that would chamber the new.45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) round and which would be simple, rugged and reliable enough for military use.
In the early days of the Great War, combat reports noted the poor performance of the.38 calibre round for which the M1892 was chambered.

In 1904, Browning created the.45 ACP cartridge as a means of experimentally loading a firearm cartridge. The idea was to find a way to load a round that would give the firearm greater power than the revolver’s. 0.22 LR was significantly larger and heavier than any other contemporary pistol cartridge and promised to provide the stopping power that was lacking in the smaller.38.
Design
The Luger chambered for.45 ACP was superior to any other pistol available during the 1905 trials.
The design of the 1911 pistol was hugely influential and most semi-automatic pistols which followed used variations of the same basic approach.
The principle of extracting the used cartridge case and loading the next round wasn’t new – the Mauser C96 and P.08 Lugers (Luger) pistols were both well established when Browning began his design.

Both these examples have complex mechanical systems that need to be carefully cleaned. If they are not, they may malfunction, which is something to avoid.
The first handguns to use a sliding breech were developed in the early twentieth century. They were simple, and not so difficult to operate.
It’s an elegantly simple design that proved simple to manufacture and reliable in use.
