Air Venturi had added to the slew of new airguns announced for the 2017 SHOT Show with the new John Wayne 1911 Metal CO2 BB pistol.
The John Wayne 1911 Metal CO2 BB Pistol features blowback slide operation. The realistic “weathered” finish simulates the effects of heavy use in action by The Duke.
As Air Venturi says: ”A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do…”
Throughout his iconic film career, says Air Venturi, The Duke embodied the spirit of true American grit, individualism and bravery. From the sands of the American West, to the Sands of Iwo Jima, John Wayne captured hearts worldwide and portrayed courage in the face of all odds, as only he could.
To further honor the Duke’s legacy, Air Venturi has announced this Officially Licensed John Wayne Commemorative 1911 CO2 air pistol.
An icon in its own right, the Colt 1911 was carried by American servicemen from 1911 to 1986.
Recognizing the appeal of this historic weapon, Air Venturi, has faithfully adapted the 1911 for use with .177 caliber BBs as the John Wayne 1911 Metal CO2 BB pistol.
This one-of-a-kind collector’s item features John Wayne’s signature emblazoned across its sturdy metal slide, which blows back when fired. Once loaded up, this 1911 is capable of sending 18 BBs downrange at muzzle velocities of up to 320 FPS.
There’s more information in this video:
The John Wayne 1911 Metal CO2 BB pistol is supplied as a kit also includes 100 BBs to put the new owner right into the action.
“Hold on to your hats pilgrims, you’re in for hours of fun on the range!”
