All,

I don't remember when was the last time I was thrilled by get to know of new model release. There was so many reproduction nowaday.

BUT, almost after a year since it's announcement, Tanio Koba finally going to release open rounds 1911 "GM7"!

Unfortunately, it is not brand brand new, because it uses major components of Marui Hi-Capacity (or 1911), but firing fuction is something unique. The good new is, you can use hammer, slide catch or other exterior parts of Marui can be used. Yes, it is not pure original like mechanizm, I would like to welcome this new.

Other good news is, this is open rounds. You can "sayonara" to push inner piston and twist rounds head. Push the cap into a rounds, that's it.

Here is the link for, for those who live outside Japan, please try to use translation software to read this........with making your eyes red.

cheers,

shaz,

Hi Shaz

Many thanks for this interesting News !

Its a bit weird he seems to have gone back to the plastic round design ...I can see its very simple to load but won`t the detonator pin get very dirty soon and cause firing problems ?

should give a nice muzzle flash though !

unfortunatly with the crap exchange rate this makes this quite expensive for us lot.

It is good to read about something "new" again at last.

I've not come accross these plastic cartridges before and I'm curious as to how long they last Question
Brass cartridges can last quite a while given plenty of care but even so getting clouted by bolts, extractors and ejectors take their toll eventually.

Were the plastic cartridges inexpensive and designed to be almost "disposable" Question

DOC,

The new rounds looks like what you showed. Yes, gun gets more dirty, but I am sure you would appreciate it will take lot less time to clean and re-load the rounds in this open type.

Will search for photo.

Thanks,

I recently converted my MGC MAC11 to Open Rounds which are, by far, superior to c.p. rounds thanks to there being no 5mm o-ring to split or peel off every shot.

It fires MUCH better BUT one magazine of 30 renders the Det pin and chamber that dirty the second mag'full is a stop-start effort as rounds stick and fail to eject.

7 rounds in the Colt could give you 4 mag'fulls without a problem though Question

It DOES look good doesn't it!

Out of the first batch of 300 pcs (already sold out in Japan - the next scheduled production run of ~400 pcs commence next month), less than 5 landed in HK so I've decided to get one while stock lasts...

The gun itself does not include a single round: Tanio Koba regard it as options (you can choose a bag of 20 rds or 60 rds though).

Note: Even though it'll be illegal for me to use caps but for those who own this gun: please use the yellow-box 7mm caps only as it creates the least residue for open round models...

I can say this gun is quite expensive: the gun itself, the rounds that they forced me to buy separately (although the rounds are relatively cheap but this is in some way quite unforgivable), if I can use caps and fire this then it'll be necessary for me to replace the detonator around every 100 shots...
