However, the mags are constantly springing leaks, not from the valves, but from their main seal. This tends to be a chronic problem with most KJW guns. Not sure about their 1911 in particular though, but no reason to think it would be otherwise, as the mags are an issue with all their other guns.
Yup.

I have a KJW 1911 (actually P14.45), and damn, it is one very nice gun, but out of 7 magazines I think I have one that doesn't leak. The other issue is that the KJW 1911 is a combination of the TM and Western Arms one and as such has some proprietary parts that are impossible to find. I'm still looking for a bloody slide lock pin.
