Vigor 1911 S2 Custom Spring Pistol (Full Metal – Gold – V14)
The Vigor 1911 S2 Custom (V14) is a full metal, spring-powered airsoft pistol in a gold finish, styled on the classic 1911 design. It is a simple, robust pistol that needs no gas or batteries: you cock it by hand before each shot, so it is always ready to use and works the same in any weather.
Vigor is known for affordable spring replicas that let newcomers try airsoft without the running costs of gas or batteries. The gold finish makes this V14 a distinctive piece for collectors and for anyone who wants a pistol that stands out, while the full metal build gives it a satisfying weight in the hand.
How a spring pistol works
A spring pistol uses a piston and spring that are compressed when you cock the pistol. When you pull the trigger, the spring drives the piston forward, pushing a burst of air behind the BB. You need to cock the pistol again before each shot, which makes it a good way to learn careful, aimed shooting. Because there is no gas or battery, the only ongoing cost is BBs.
Build and finish
The S2 Custom is listed as full metal, which gives it a weight closer to that of a real pistol and makes it feel more solid than lightweight plastic spring pistols. The gold finish is the main feature of this listing; please check the product photos for the exact shade and any custom details on the slide and grip.
Using it
Spring pistols are well suited to target practice in the garden, plinking at home with a suitable backstop, and as a low-cost backup. Light BBs suit spring pistols best, and a simple paper target is a good way to get to know where the pistol shoots.
Because you cock it before every shot, a spring pistol rewards a steady routine: cock, aim, squeeze the trigger smoothly and follow through. That habit carries over well to gas and electric replicas later on, which is one reason spring pistols remain a sensible first step into the hobby.
Key features
- Vigor 1911 S2 Custom, model V14
- Spring powered: no gas or batteries needed
- Full metal construction (as listed)
- Gold finish
- Classic 1911 styling

Compatibility
The pistol uses standard 6mm airsoft BBs; light weights such as 0.12g or 0.20g generally suit spring pistols best. Magazines and internals are specific to this model and are not interchangeable with 1911 gas pistols. Many 1911 holsters may suit the general shape, but check the fit before relying on one.
Care and maintenance
Never dry-fire a spring pistol repeatedly without BBs, as this puts extra strain on the piston and spring. Clean the inner barrel now and then with a rod and soft patch to keep shots consistent, and use good quality seamless BBs.
Do not store the pistol cocked, so the spring is not held under load. Wipe metal parts with a lightly oiled cloth to protect the finish, and store the pistol somewhere cool and dry.
Who is it for?
Beginners, plinkers and collectors who want a heavy, eye-catching 1911-style pistol with no running costs beyond BBs.
Please note: BBs are not listed as included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection when using airsoft replicas, and check your site’s rules and power limits before play.
