| 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. http://www.taniokoba.co.jp/koba_enter.htmlclick the line refers "NEWKOBA/GM7.... 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.

| 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 It DOES look good doesn't it! _________________ Cerwyn
