Vigor 5.1 S3 Full Metal Spring Pistol Gold V19
The Vigor 5.1 S3 (V19) is a full metal spring pistol in a gold finish, styled on the 5.1 Hi-Capa style pistol. Spring pistols are the simplest form of airsoft replica: there is no gas to buy and no battery to charge, so it is ready to use whenever you are, in any weather. A blue version is also available.
Vigor produces affordable replicas aimed at newcomers, collectors and casual shooters. This 5.1 Hi-Capa style pistol is a low-cost way to enjoy target shooting in the garden, to practise sight alignment and trigger control, or simply to add an eye-catching piece to a collection.
The design
The 5.1 is the classic competition-style pistol in airsoft, based on the wide-frame, high-capacity race guns used in practical shooting. Its long slide and comfortable grip make it a natural pointer, and Vigor’s 5.1 S3 offers that look in a simple spring-powered package. The gold finish gives it a striking, display-worthy look that stands out from the usual black pistols.
How it works
A spring pistol is cocked by hand before each shot, usually by pulling the slide back. Cocking compresses a spring; pulling the trigger releases it, driving a piston forward to push a burst of air through the barrel and fire a single BB. Because every shot is cocked individually, the pistol encourages a steady, deliberate shooting style, which is an excellent way to learn the fundamentals of accuracy.
Build and handling
The pistol is listed as full metal, which gives it a more solid, weighty feel in the hand than an all-plastic budget pistol. That extra weight helps steady your aim and makes the pistol feel more substantial. Please check the product images for the exact sight, grip and control details on this model.

Compatibility
Use 6mm airsoft BBs; lightweight, good quality BBs such as 0.12g or 0.20g generally suit budget spring pistols best. Magazines and parts are specific to this Vigor model, so please contact us if you need a replacement. Holster fit will depend on the model, so check before buying a moulded holster.
Care and maintenance
Use only clean, seamless BBs and never reuse BBs from the ground, as grit can jam or damage the barrel. Avoid dry firing (firing without a BB) too often, as this strains the piston and spring. Do not store the pistol cocked. Wipe the metal with a lightly oiled cloth from time to time to protect the finish, and store the pistol unloaded and dry.
Who is it for?
The Vigor 5.1 S3 suits beginners, families looking for supervised garden target shooting, collectors who like distinctive finishes, and anyone who wants a simple, affordable pistol with no running costs beyond BBs.
Please note: BBs are not included unless stated. Always wear suitable eye protection when shooting and never point a replica at anyone not wearing protection.
