Right guys, quick and easy (or should be question)
we 1911 v We Hi Power?
accuracy, range and reliabality etc.
also how would the Heer carry a hi power if they got one? would they use a speical Hi power holster, or would they have luger or p38 ones used to carry it?

My opinion is... both are rubbish, get a marui 1911 (and don't mod it!) 
I love my Hi Power but it has so many quirks it is almost unplayable.
Touch the hammer and it vents gas, not very practical for game play. Many times I have drawn it to use and there is nothing. All the gas has bled out. You can carry it without a mag but that rather defeats the point of a pistol for me.
I have a TM 1911 and its a corker. Never fails.

Seems 1911 is the way to go, would any of the German holsters fit a 1911?

no
Oddly a Hi-power holster will?
Not the best repro. http://www.ima-usa.com/german-wwii-brow ... lster.html

That would be able to close over a 1911 right?

All I can say is that my Hi-power holster will fit my TM1911.
My holster is NOT the ima repro.
You can often fit a Hi-power in a soft P38 holster. I dont know about a 1911 and I'm too far away to check.

My old WE 1911 used to fit in my repro softshell P38 holster, so yes.
Awesome Cheers guys

If you're portraying German why not get a more usual German pistol ..??.. the WE Luger is not bad and even the older P38s are usable . It's only ever going to be a side arm/decoration/ occasional use after all unless you plan on going Airfix at some point .
EDIT . I've had a coupla WE 1911s.....run them on propane ....they do pack a punch and the metal receiver will take the punishment , had one of the older non metal Hi Powers, it was crap and IMHO not as nice a pistol to handle although I'm sure some pedant will point out they were used by Axis forces . Comparing WE 1911 to WE Luger both are as accurate although the Luger is a lil more fragile . Back to my point about intended use and all .

I would like to, but im using it for Namsoft too, for Heer i dont think a 1911 looks to bad, could be captured but with Austriallian SAS in Nam or MACV SOG a luger may look a little out of place, but possibe i guess, what are spare mags, and parts like to find for WE lugers?
