First of all, let me preface this by saying I already have a blowback CO2 1911 (Umarex) BB gun, that's fun but pretty much only good for paper and cans outdoors. And also that I'm actually looking for a metal airsoft 1911. Something I can shoot indoors and practice presentation drills with. The non-blowback ones are a few bucks cheaper, but not enough to quibble over. I'm actually wondering if I WANT another blowback gun.
1) It's airsoft, so any accuracy difference is right out the window.
2) Blowback usually comes on higher priced guns - are they built nicer (even the non-blowback 'Colt' still claims all metal. A few cheaper ones I saw had plastic triggers etc...)
3) Blowback won't matter on the first shot.
4) Non-blowback might actually separate trigger and sight issues. This could be beneficial.
4b) Blowback forces you to reacquire sights.
5) Non-blowback gets more shots but ...I usually end up venting CO2 when I'm done anwyay.
I'm not interested in skirmish or other airsoft games - so field rules and maximum velocity doesn't really apply.
