You can lead them to the forum, but you can't make them post....

But we can encourage them...

Very interested in hearing more about your Winchester.  I did a little searching on it, because I didn't know they existed.  It looks like it could be a sleeper.   Thanks for the info.

Mudduck48: Don't fret.  Eventually I may just get the Tanfoglio Witness (Swiss Arms) too.    One of the best things about airguns is that you can get a functioning replica at a fraction of the cost of the powder burning version.  I shudder to think about how much money I've sunk into my real Colt.

All: I will post my impressions of the Winchester.  Another odd fact is that the real Tanfoglio Witness is actually base on the full-sized CZ 75B not the Colt 1911.  Many of the parts and the magazines are interchangeable with the CZ.  I'm a big fan of CZs.  In fact, my new ASG CZ P-07 arrives today from PA.  It is similar in weight and size to my CZ 75D Compact  9mm.

The Winchester Model 11 came today.  Here are some impressions and target results:
1. Very nice looking and the weight was just like my real Colt.
2. Loading the CO2 cartridge was a learning curve.  I ruined two before the light came on in the wheel house.
3. The blowback was a thrill!  Recoil felt like my S&W 617 revolver with .22 cal Mini-Mags.
4. The gun shot high.  POA had to be adjusted about 1.5" south @ 5-7 yds.  I will try to find a shorter rear sight.
5. We got 90 accurate shots per cartridge before the slide failed to cock the hammer.
6. See targets below.  They are three inches in diameter.  Not bad for a new gun right out of the box.
7. We're quite satisfied with it for a BB gun.  I guess our pellet guns spoiled us.  It was real hard to put away for the day! The Model 11 was more accurate than my new ASG CZ P-07 by about a half inch.  We'll have to get more magazines.  They're only ten bucks.  I expect this gun will get even better after break-in.

 it seems for the money not a bad deal then.

I forgot to mention that the trigger pull was 4.25 lbs..  A bit heavier than I'm used to but not a distraction.  Here are my two Colt 1911 types:
