The Colt M45 CQB is Colt's answer to the requirements of the U.S. armed forces for a service weapon that reliably stops an opponent with a full metal jacket. In terms of caliber and appearance it follows in the footsteps of the iconic 1911 models.

Its unmistakable design and the high standards of material and workmanship also characterize the CO₂-operated airgun. It offers fans of the Close Quarters Battle Pistol and recreational shooters the shooting experience expected from such an iconic weapon. As a full metal construction, it reaches a solid 930 g weight that produces a noticeable recoil with each shot from the 17-round magazine thanks to the blowback.

M45-typical features such as the palm safety, the distinct beavertail and the Picatinny rail are fully functional and complete the image of the classic. True to the original, the M45 shoots the SteelBBs in 4.5 mm caliber via a single action trigger.
