The KJ works M9 is the exact replica of the Beretta M9, which is the standard issue sidearm in the US military today.
When handled, the M9 feels very real. The fact that it’s made absolutely of aluminum (and of course, some steel parts) brings the weight of the weapon very close to that of the real M9. The author rented the M9 (actually, the civilian version, which is called M92F) at a shooting range. While the real firearm is made of steel, and not aluminum as the airsoft gun, and the tolerances are much tighter, there are basically no major differences between the two.
The KJ Works M9 is a gas blowback airsoft gun. What that entails is that when the gun is fired, the slide on top of the weapon goes backwards. This mimics the behavior of the real gun. That gun can be cocked by pulling back on the slide, or by moving the hammer. It can also be fired just by pulling the trigger. There is no full automatic mode on this airsoft gun. The safety switch is functional, and it has two modes: safety on and safety off. A word of warning about the safety switch: unless it's moved entirely to the safe possession the weapon will likely fire when the trigger is pulled. In this airsoft enthusiast's opinion, this is a major safety hazard and should be mended in later models.
The magazine holds 25 six millimeter BBs.
The gas to operate the gun is stored in the magazine. In order to supply the magazine with gas, it is best to remove it from the gun. The valve is found in the bottom of the magazine. The gun is designed for the green gas. Using the red gas will likely result in damage.
The M9 is shipped with an orange tip as all other airsoft guns. However, the paint used easily rubs off.
The disassembly of this airsoft gun is also very close to the real thing. Pull the slide back and move the lever on the left-hand side up to prevent it from going back to its initial position. Next, push down on the button located on the right-hand side of the gun towards the middle. Now you are ready to flip down the small lever located on the left hand side of the gun – again - towards the middle. The only thing left to do is to pull the slide back further another quarter of an inch, and in the slide will now entirely come off when pulled towards the front of the airsoft gun. To attach the slide to the gun again, just slide it back on and pull it all the way back.
Overall, this is truly a great airsoft gun. The author has been using it for a year and a half without any troubles whatsoever. The only thing to complain about is the unpredictable nature of the safety switch. The all-metal construction and the blowback functionality puts this airsoft gun ahead of its competition.
