Ian43 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Hello All, I've been asked by a non member of the Forum to appeal for information on a Colt 45 pistol that was recently acquired. It was assumed that it was a replica but certain features are what you would expect of a real weapon (The gun can be stripped down to component parts) so it would be helpful if someone could identify exactly what it is please? Thanks in advance. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchFuzee Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) BKA replica guns, but I haven't found a Colt M1911 A1. Images of other BKA pistols:- https://www.google.com/search?q=bka+replica+guns&client=ms-android-huawei&hl=en-GB&prmd=sivn&sxsrf=ACYBGNRFQzKxwzGQ_bOrm21E6eMat_-z2Q:1578862353536&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiq-ezN-P7mAhXQSBUIHdKoDTkQ_AUIFygC&cshid=1578862583415&biw=360&bih=631&dpr=3 Just found this:- "BKA" is a German sign of approval for a deactivated weapon" https://www.wapenstotaal.nl/en/content/search-help Unfortunately I haven't found any images of "BKA" on a replica or deac.

Dodgevince Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hiya, This M1911A1 is a "DENIX" replica, made in Spain. Apparently an old one, I had exactly the same some time ago. It does indeed strip like the original but is clearly a replica, and not a part would fit a "real" weapon. Nor would I try to shoot it given the low-quality metal used for its fabrication... My penny worth... 😉 Regards, Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Yep, pot metal, a barrel that’s fixed as you can plainly see it hasn’t dropped like a real one would. if you were to do a side by side comparison, even a gun newb would pick out the real gun.
