Auto Ordnance 1911 Victory Girl Gas Blowback Pistol (Cybergun – 430501)
The Auto-Ordnance 1911 Victory Girl is a gas blowback airsoft pistol produced under Cybergun’s exclusive worldwide Auto-Ordnance licence and manufactured by Armorer Works. It is one of a series of custom 1911s that pay tribute to the Second World War, and this one celebrates the women of the era with distinctive engraved artwork on both sides of the slide.
The 1911 is one of the most famous pistol designs ever made, and Auto-Ordnance has a long connection with it. This replica combines that heritage with a full metal body, real wood grips and a deliberately worn finish, making it a pistol that looks as good in a display case as it does in a holster.
Design and finish
The body is finished in gunmetal paint and has been lightly distressed at the factory to give a combat-used look, as though the pistol had seen service. The right side of the slide carries an engraved pin-up girl, while the left side features Rosie the Riveter, the wartime symbol of women working in factories and shipyards. Textured real wood grips add warmth and give a secure hold. Every one of these details makes the Victory Girl feel like a custom piece rather than an off-the-shelf replica.
Performance and operation
The pistol is gas powered with a blowback action, so the slide cycles each time you fire. It fires in semi-automatic only, and the 15-round magazine sits in the grip in the traditional 1911 way. The hop-up is adjustable, so you can tune it for the BB weight you are using. As with the original design, there is both a grip safety and a thumb-operated slide safety, and a lanyard attachment point is fitted at the base of the grip.
Handling
The 1911 is renowned for its natural pointing qualities and slim, single-stack grip, and this replica keeps those characteristics. The full metal construction gives it a solid, weighty feel in the hand that helps steady your aim. The controls are exactly where 1911 shooters expect them, making it a comfortable pistol for target practice or as a sidearm in a Second World War-themed loadout.

Compatibility
Use magazines made for this model or confirmed as compatible; 1911 gas magazines are not all interchangeable between brands, so please ask us before buying spares. Most holsters designed for a standard 1911 should fit. Fill with a quality airsoft gas.
Care and maintenance
Put a drop of silicone oil on the magazine fill valve and seals every few fills, and lubricate the slide rails lightly with silicone oil to keep the blowback smooth. Do not overfill the magazine, and store it with a little gas inside. The real wood grips should be kept dry; wipe them down if they get wet and avoid leaving the pistol in damp places. Clean the barrel occasionally with a rod and dry patch, and use good quality seamless BBs.
Who is it for?
The Victory Girl suits 1911 enthusiasts, collectors and Second World War re-enactors who want a licensed, full metal pistol with genuine character, and anyone looking for a gift that stands out from the usual sidearm.
Please note: Gas and BBs are not included. Always wear suitable eye protection when shooting.
