Western Arms – S.C.W. Para-Ordnance Doberman .45 Limited

Quality of this replica is top notch. It weighs a little over 3lbs so nice and heavy There's still a little magwell wobble, but not near the wobble the Para Prokiller has.

I also bought an extra mag, which it was told to me uses the standard 30 round WA high cap mag, but the spare doesn't work with this specific gun. It works fine in my Prokiller, but it keeps the slide from returning properly on the Doby.

Performance of this gun , out of the box is really good. It slide kick is hard and crisp. At this point I haven't messed with the hopup yet , so the accuracy needs to be tuned a bit. With Green Gas, fps results as follows:

Not planning on doing anything else on this gun, More info to be posted later as I play with it more.
