Golden Eagle 3333 Hi-Capa 5.1 OPS GBB Pistol

If you need the performance edge of a Hi-Capa build without the in-your-face looks, the Golden Eagle 3333 Hi-Capa 5.1 OPS GBB Pistol is one to watch. A full metal build with a surprisingly high quality CNC aluminium side, a light-enhancing front sight and discreet accents in the form of a matte gold fluted outer barrel, this Hi-Capa is more reserved in the looks department than most, ideal for those who want a simple yet effective external build.

Inside, we're even treated to a robust steel hammer, steel trigger and a 6.02mm tightbore inner barrel for an accuracy edge with high-quality BBs. For those who prefer to keep things simple aesthetically, or those who want to make external changes later with aftermarket parts, the Golden Eagle 3333 Hi-Capa 5.1 OPS GBB Pistol is a solid choice!

Starting at the front, we can find 11mm CW female threading at the tip of the 5.1-inch aluminium outer barrel, allowing a tracer unit or suppressor to be fitted using an 11mm CW female to 14mm CCW male thread adapter. If you're planning on rocking a tracer with the 5.1 OPS, we recommend the Eshooter Flare-M, as it is supplied with the correct adapter in the box.

The outer barrel itself is finished in matte gold, providing a glimpse of its glamorous colour finish through the mock ejection port on the right side. To make matters even more special, the barrel features fluting running its entire length, visible through the slide ports and at the chamber. The gold barrel adds an instantly recognisable "custom" look, a tasteful style-up for this overall discreet 'Capa build.

The slide itself is a simple, military-style design similar to the M45A1 CQBP and ultra-premium real steel 1911s made by Kimber Customs. At the front, we are equipped with grippy serrations, allowing for easy racking from the front or rear, even in wet weather. A big highlight of this build is the CNC machining process used to form this slide, providing incredibly sharp details and a smoother feel when cycled compared to standard cast alloy slides.

The sights of the Hi-Capa 5.1 OPS can be found on the top of the slide. The front sight is a fixed light-enhancing sight with a red insert, allowing for fast target acquisition, even in low-light situations. The rear sight is a serrated "anti-glare" open sight which combines well with the light-enhancing front sight to prevent accidentally mixing up the sight dots and pulling your shot off. Both sights are made from steel, a big plus for strength in this affordable package.

At the rear of the slide, we can find angled serrations to provide positive control over the slide of the pistol, meaning no matter the weather conditions, you will still be able to cock the slide, with or without gloves. The styling of the serrations matches perfectly with the front slide serrations, providing the professional aesthetic of a completed piece.

The slide release catch can be found on the left side of the pistol, just above the trigger, and is a slightly enlarged design to enable those with smaller hands to use the control effectively whilst remaining tight to the frame to prevent snags. The magazine release can be found on the left side of the grip and is a standard profile, giving you a perfect happy medium between speed and security.

The grip itself is constructed from high-density polymer and features crackle texturing on the sides, with pyramidal texture on the front and rear. This provides the gripping qualities necessary for use in all weather conditions, with or without gloves. As a part of the Hi-Capa design, the trigger guard is integrated into the polymer pistol grip module, a squared trigger guard with a flat front face. On the front face, we're equipped with gripping texture for the support hand, allowing you to keep the muzzle flat during rapid fire using the "European Grip" technique.

At the base of the grip, we can find a magazine well extension with a bevelled inner wall, also known as a magazine well flare. This part is intended to help speed up reloads by providing a widened route to the magazine well, allowing for "eyes up" reloads and easier reloads on the move.

The manual safety catch can be found at the rear of the pistol, and is mirrored on either side to allow for left or right-handed use. This manual safety can be activated whether the pistol is cocked or not and will lock both the trigger and slide when pushed upwards. When not in use, the safety does double duty as a "gas pedal" style thumb rest to encourage a consistent grip and assist with controlling muzzle rise during rapid fire.

At the rear of the frame, we can find our secondary safety device: the "beavertail" grip safety. This safety prevents the pistol from being fired unless it is pressed in, ensuring the pistol will not fire when dropped and allowing you to safely carry the Hi-Capa, "cocked and locked", with its legendary light trigger. The beavertail present on the Hi-Capa 5.1 OPS is an extended design, featuring texture on the rear surface for additional grip and an extension to ensure the safety is disabled as soon as the pistol is gripped.

Just above the grip safety, we can see the hammer, which is a low-profile skeletonised design intended to reduce the chances of "hammer bite" and prevent the hammer from snagging on your gear as you draw. The angular design of the hammer sits right in line with the visual language expressed by the rest of the pistol, and also includes linear texture on the upper surface to allow for greater control if you need to de-cock the Hi-Capa.

If you're after the performance advantages of a Hi-Capa build without all of the unnecessary glitz and glamour, the Golden Eagle 3333 Hi-Capa 5.1 OPS GBB Pistol is the cold, calculating 'Capa you need. A remarkably high-quality build for the price, with the rapid-fire performance edge granted by large Hi-Capa magazines, the Hi-Capa 5.1 OPS means business!
