I've run the army 1911 MEU as my go-to side arm for 4 maybe 5 years ( but retired it this year - moved to Glock)
TM mags are a must, the army 1911 mag's are pure crap.
The 2nd nozzle it comes with is just a spare for when the other breaks.
Right off the bat I upgraded it with a Nine-ball 6.03 inner, firefly hop-up , And enhanced recoil spring
(which was an additional $100 or so at the time.) + TM mag's (I think I payed $40 each or something) so you may ended up spending more than you think.
It preformed quite well. But My biggest compliant with the gun is the slop between the slide and the frame. The enhanced recoil spring reduces the slop a bit, but it is still very noticeable and very wobbly (side to side play)
The finish is nothing special, wears over time (I used a safariland holster)
but I like the beat down used and abused look......gives the gun character after being used for such a long period of time.
