We got a new item from Army Armament - the R32 Sandstorm pistol, a replica of the Colt 1911 in a refreshed tactical specification. Of course, the replica is equipped with a blowback system.

The manufacturer decided to release three color versions: the reviewed two-color Sandstorm version in dark earth and brown. The two-color Darkstorm (in black and gray) and the uniformly black Nightstorm. In many online sources, in which I was looking through for additional information, the pistols are described under the common name R32 1911 MEU with an appropriate note (Sandstorm, Darkstorm, Nightstorm). At the same sites , the information is repeated that the R32 series is a long-awaited replica. Well ... I suppose so.

Distinctive features of the series:
- completely metal design (frame and slide),
- a unique serial number,
- enlarged magazine release button (one-sided),
- a magwell facilitating the change of a magazine,
- a grip covered with an aggressive texture with a rubber profiled insert,
- a silencer adapter,
- optic fiber sights,
- an enlarged green gas magazine holding 30 BBs.

And most importantly:
– a newly design reinforced nozzle, working with both green gas and CO2 magazines,
– a new reinforced frame designed to work with CO2 magazines,
– a new, silicone Hop-Up bucking resistant to low temperatures,
– new generation tightened magazine valves.
