Sig Sauer 1911

The 1911 Spartan is a full-metal, blow-back, C02, .4.5mm, BB-firing pistol, based upon the ‘real’ pistol and looks exactly like it.

The grips have the idealised Spartan helmet logo on each side, along with the words ‘Molon Labe’ (‘Come and take them’), also carried on the left-hand side of the top slide.
