The Real Hi-capa - History Lesson

With double stacked magazines having reached their prime, providing boosted capacity along with superb reliability, the addition of a double-stacked magazine to the venerable and ancient 1911 pistol was a natural progression. By increasing the capacity of a 1911 from vii rounds to a whopping 14 rounds of .45 ACP, Para Ordnance had brought the near-obsolete 1911 into the 21st century, allowing it to compete with the more modern handguns of the time, such as the SIG P210 and Browning Hi-power whilst providing "muh stopping powa" with a larger quotient which American civilian shooters are more comfortable with.

The combination of 1911 accurateness with big chapters was a match made in heaven, and as shortly as STI's patent expired, the U.s. civilian market erupted with Hello-capa style pistols. The Airsoft world had already taken note of the Hi-capa by this point, merely the all-time was yet to come up...

Hi-capas in the Airsoft World

As it pertains to airsoft, the Hi-capa was the cosmos of the Japanese airsoft manufacturers Tokyo Marui.

The TM Howdy-capa variants, ranging from the tiny 3.eight to the 1911-sized 5.one are some of the oldest and nearly after-market supported Airsoft pistols of all time, and ironically forms the basis for the internals of many Airsoft 1911 pistols, including TMs. The TM Hi-capas function brilliantly, offering superb accuracy, range and upgradability directly from the box. The Marui pistol was designed with Japanese police in heed, and as such the frame and slide are made of well-finished polymer, which is advantageous for gas efficiency just lacks realism. Need for metal Hullo-capas gave mode to metal body kits, ranging from more affordable options for effectually £250 to limited production full steel kits costing over £thousand!

By 2021, the Hi-capa has very much arrived on the scene and continues to boss, followed closely by Glock-style replicas for the more war machine/Law enforcement loadout enclined.

Either Raven knew nigh this or information technology is pure coincidence that they include this remarkably upwardly-to-appointment characteristic on the Dragon 7 GBB pistol.
