I just got a WE1911. It kicks hard and is quite accurate in stock config, even more so now that I've shimmed a lot of the looseness and put in a Tanio Twist barrel and v-hop bucking (plus the stock hopup lever is the H style). But it's having issues feeding consistently, and it's definately a summer gun. Not a problem for me, though, since I got it at a great price so I can afford to upgrade the internals some more.
