Browning 1911 HME is a heavy spring-powered replica equipped with a metal slide, a grip safety, and a Picatinny accessory rail.
The replica refers to the military pistol designed by John Moses Browning, which despite over 100 years of history remains one of the most recognizable pistols in the world.
Unlike other replicas in a similar price range, the Browning 1911 HME features a metal slide, increasing the replica’s weight to 550 g. The replica belongs to the HME (Heavy Metal Energy) series, meaning it has increased weight closer to that of a real firearm. The enlarged beaver tail at the rear of the frame together with aggressively textured grip panels ensure repeatable and stable handling. The replica is equipped with two fully functional safeties: a grip safety and a thumb safety, both responsible for locking the trigger mechanism.
The replica features a spring-powered system, which requires manual cocking of the spring before each shot. This is done by firmly pulling the slide back. The main advantages of the spring-powered system include: no additional costs for consumables, ease and reliability of use, and low sensitivity to weather conditions. Unlike green gas replicas, the spring-powered model operates reliably even during winter. The fired BBs reach a velocity of approx. 220 fps and an effective range of about 15 m.
The pistol is powered by a metal magazine with a capacity of 14 BBs. Thanks to the ability to lock the follower in the lower position, BBs can be loaded directly from a container.
