It's been a finicky bugger and I've been through a couple of nozzles, a couple of mag gaskets, and rarely get more than a mag on one powerlet, but DAMN it's fun to shoot!!! It took some polishing to get the rails to slide super smooth and prevent the slide from jamming full back on the recoil, but over time it's become a nice little sidearm with a fair bit of punch. Pretty accurate too.

In the near future I may try the Airsoft Surgeon super hard nozzle just to help with the whole cracking business, and maybe those nifty little purple silicone mag gaskets. In the meantime, it goes out every week, shoots a bunch of BB's, and even scores a hit from time to time. The feel is really solid and you can bang it around a fair bit (not intentionally of course). Overall, I still like it...
The KJW Les Baer's are up there with some of the best 1911's out of the box on the market.

My stock Les Baer is hitting head size targets at 150' with .28's.

Had no problems with the gun, ever. At least 100 mags through it. KJW MEU mags are also reliable as hell. Keep em stored with propane and you're gold.
