Hi-Capa

Hi-Capa is a pistol model that is particularly popular in the field of airsoft. This term typically refers to a series of airsoft pistols inspired by real handgun models, especially the Colt M1911. Hi-Capa pistols are known for their high performance, reliability, and a wide range of spare and upgrade parts. The primary brand in the Hi-Capa pistol domain is Tokyo Marui, which sets dimensional standards (as with AEG).

The name "Hi-Capa" usually indicates that this pistol series has an enlarged magazine with up to 40 rounds (usually 31) (high capacity), allowing shooters to have more ammunition before needing to change the magazine. This factor is favored among airsoft players who appreciate a longer time between magazine changes during a game and who use their "Capas" as primary CQB weapons (popular especially among Speedsofters in combination with HPA adapters made by CTM Tac).

Hi-Capa pistols are also popular for their ability to accept various modifications and accessories from many manufacturers (La-Capa, CTM Tac, 5KU, CowCow, and others). This means that airsoft enthusiasts can customize their Hi-Capa pistols according to their preferences and tactical needs. Thanks to this flexibility, Hi-Capa becomes a popular choice for those who want to individualize their airsoft arsenal.

Customized Hi-Capa pistols can easily surpass the value of AEG guns, and some collectors have pieces valued at over 20,000 CZK.

The 1911 Hi-Capa model gained fame in the John Wick movie series, where modified versions of the 1911 by Taran Tactical appeared.
