Some new player on the for­ums pos­ted the ques­tion, “your best pis­tol u have had?”  What I think he meant was, “what is the best pis­tol that you have owned or played with?”

I say it is this:  The West­ern Arms Hard­baller (full review)

(that’s the long sil­ver one. The other is a TM1911 which is also very good)

Why?

  1. Range and accur­acy thanks to its 7 inch barrel.
  2. Power due to being able to take Green Gas.
  3. Clas­sic 1911 form factor enables quick learning.
  4. Long nose means point and shoot.
  5. Many many many upgrades and not to hard to maintain.
  6. 20 BB in the mags.
  7. Easy to hol­ster and not too heavy.
  8. Reli­ab­il­ity is around 80% of a TM1911.

For example:

I was play­ing this Sunday and after the Cap­ture The Flag game was a draw it was decided to hold a 1 on 1 show­down to decide the game. I was nom­in­ated to go against a guy wield­ing what looked like a TM Bio­haz­ard M9. We stood 40 paces apart with many a bar­rel between us and our guns at our feet on the floor.

We both reached down and grabbed our fire-irons. We then both went for a kneel­ing snap­shot. His two shots missed me by 4 feet. My two shots slot­ted him dir­ectly in the forehead.

WA’s are excel­lent skir­mish pistols!

Other good ones I have owned are:
1. TM DE Hardkick — had one of these for ages.  (big black one in image)
2. WA Colt Delta Élite — light weight Hard­baller type 1911.  (sil­ver one in image)
3. TM 1911 — a pure clas­sic and rock solid.  (twin set in right image)
