Just saw the bell GBBS came into stock at airsoft depot! I am guessing these are lower quality GBB's compared to KJW, anyone have any experience with them?

Couple of friends and I actually got ours a few weeks ago. They've been holding up pretty well, but my friend has had to go back there to replace his. It was cause the guy working there gave him an already opened case so it was possible the gun was already meddled with. That being said, if you were thinking of buying it online but have the option of going there in person - I would say you should go in person and make sure they're giving you a sealed one (unopened case).

We all got M1911s (2 MEUs and a Classic), they have a solid feel to them, and the mags that came with them are pretty efficient. Can run 2, almost 3 full mags of BBs before running out of CO2. Mine's super accurate although the stock iron sights are a bit wobbly, but i'm sure you can tighten those with the right tools. I have no experience with any other Bell guns, like Glocks and what not, but you can go ahead and visit that link BioRage posted. A guy talks about his experience with a Bell Glock there.

Good luck!

KJW 1911 are great, I know a lot of people who run them, next up to them are Tokyo Maruis, but you'll drop a fortune getting them to what you need it for.

KJW 1911's can also run CO2 mags for awesome kick.

I have no exp with the Bell brand, however my KJW P09 Duty CO2 was a beast with recoil, and once I did the inner barrel and bucking, it shot some crazy grouping at siege airsoft.

Best of luck.

I would say Bell are blatant KJW clones. I got them cause they can use CO2 and green gas mags (with change of recoil spring). What sealed the deal though - other than the $50 price difference between the brands - was the full trades. The loadout i'm trying to build needs an MEU with no rail, so the Bell one was perfect. I tried the fit of it in a 6004 safariland holster they had, and that was perfect too. However, I knew of another place that was selling it for significantly less and w/ free shipping; so if you're in need of a holster PM me. I agree with BioRage though, Bell is definitely more of a risk. But so far its been good to me!

Is it a replica or real steel? The one at airsoftdepot was a replica, and the fit was perfect. I'm sure a KJW would have the same fit, I assume all 1911's would actually. Once mine gets delivered, i'll let you know how mine fits.

it is just the one off there sight, i purchased it off of airsoft depot

I think you're good to go! So did you end up getting a KJW instead?

PracticalTacticalBC · September 9th, 2015, 02:41

I just talked to a mach1 employee yesterday about WE. We basically agreed that WE makes good Glocks, but pretty much every thing else they have has a high risk of being paperweight. Your call though. I would say Bell has better 1911s.

Most of the parts on the WE 1911s are not TM compatible. Parts are harder to find and you're stuck with proprietary WE 1911 Mags.

1+ For KJW 1911's Have 2 and love them! On CO2 those things just sound Nasty and kick like a mule!
