Im thinking of buying an airsoft pistol for mostly target shooting but some games (since im under the legal age at most places in my country). I have looked at the ssp1 and the elite force 1911 tac. Do you recomend these or any else and is this a good use for them? Really greatful for any help.
What to you think i should i buy?

I live in sweden where the law is that you cant use an airsoft gun without adult supervision, and after my research theres a site about Three hours of driving away which allows people under the age of 18.
I would use the gun at home under supervision so that wouldnt be a problem.

If you want it for target practice I would recommend a Tokyo Marui Hicapa 5.1 or Gold Match. Both plastic and expensive but worth it.

If you must have metal the Armorer Works Hicapas at about the same price look nice, are pretty accurate and come in many different finishes and configurations..

Stay away from the Elite Force 1911. If you like the SSP1 , save yourself a bit of money and get the KJW K05 instead. Looks better and has a good reputation.

Personally I would avoid KWC guns.

I can't comment further as I have never owned one, but there are plenty of opinions on the web from those who have/do.
Some like them and some hate them. Take the time to do some research and then decide whether you want to go ahead.
It is said that, unlike KJW and WE versions, they are not copies of Tokyo Marui 1911s, and that parts for them are proprietary and very difficult to find.

Im buying from a local store and therefore theres a limited availability. Heres a link to their site so if anyone wants to recommend something from there i would be greatful. It is sadly in Swedish but the pistols names should stay the same as internationally.

In my opinion, there are a lot of better alternatives on that website.
The ASG P09 has had very good reviews. However beware: there are two versions - one with all polymer externals and the more expensive one with polymer lower and metal slide. The latter version is very popular and will take both green gas and CO2. The all plastic one won't.
The P09 will probably come with a green gas magazine and you will have to buy a separate CO2 mag if you want that. Recoil and velocity with CO2 will be impressive, but bear in mind that the higher pressure of this gas will put the internals of the gun under greater strain and wear things out faster. The P09 is made by KJW incidentally.
Then there are some KJW own brand all metal guns, and I believe some of the ASG Colts and Berettas are made by KJW too. You will need to do some research. Most KJW all metal guns will take both green gas and CO2. Both types of magazines are available.
I would not advise you to get WE because, although their guns are better than KWC in my opinion, you have stated that you want a CO2 gun because of the low Swedish temperature. Not all WE pistols are CO2 compatible, and even for the ones that are, availability of mags is sometimes poor.
Perhaps somebody else (a more experienced member than me) on the forum could chime in and give their two cents' worth. There are plenty of pistols on the site and the lad is looking for advice. What would the rest of you suggest?.
I would certainly consider the following, but go to the shop, ask questions and get the feel of them.

I believe the Rudis 1911s are made by WE but they are CO2.
I think the this is a KJW built gun, and the black one of similar price.

But don't take my word for anything. I am not an expert. Research, and then go and look at a couple in the shop if you can.

Correction: the Secutor Rudis is in fact a KJW, not as I previously stated a WE.

Too many variables, but it’s possible, yes.

inly consider the f
Just don't do it.
Do some research about shooting safely and follow the rules.
Then it won't happen.
A bbs will certainly go through ordinary glass if shot directly at it, but so will any other projectile from a gun. Shoot into a big box (remember big) with some old clothes in it and you will be OK. Learn basic safety rules, like keeping your finger off the trigger until you have acquired your target, don't jerk the trigger, and never point the gun at anything unless you are prepared to pull the trigger. Even if it is unloaded. Acquire good habits. Always keep the front sight in focus. If they ricochet I doubt airsoft bbs have enough energy left to do serious damage to things. Keep away from windows anyway. If you are really worried shoot outside or in a garage.
Plastic bbs are a lot safer than than airgun 4.5 mm steel bbs or lead pellets.

It is unlikely, but there is always a risk. There are no guarantees.
