GBB (Sub) Compact 1911 Recommendations

[Macv276]

I'm after a full metal, Gas Blowback, compact/sub compact 1911.

I like the look of the silver Army Armament R45 (Because Don Johnson in Miami Vice) ?‍

I've heard mixed reviews about the R45 which puts me off. Basically after something about the size of the Detonics, or a Colt Defender. 

Any ideas? 

Thanks

Marui Detonics is an awesome little pistol. With such a small magazine you really need a light slide too and the pot metal slide on the Army R45 would likely hamper performance. Have you also looked at V10's?
