Lancer Tactical Stryk Hi-Capa 5.1 GBB w/ Red Dot

If you're into the sporty looks of custom Hi-Capas, the Lancer Tactical Stryk Hi-Capa 5.1 GBB w/ Red Dot is the easy way to get the look yourself! A full metal build with an exciting race-gun inspired aesthetic, the Stryk boasts a CNC aluminium slide, extended controls and a unique aesthetic, with discrete black, stylish black on silver or eye-catching purple on gold colour schemes to choose from. With the style to stand out, top-notch gas efficiency and kitted out with an optics-ready slide and red dot sight included, this is the easy way to get a battle-ready Hi-Capa build!

Starting at the tip of the outer barrel, we can find a thread adapter mounted to the tip of the 5.1-inch outer barrel. A very generous move, especially considering the increasing popularity of using pistols with Tracer units in CQB skirmishes! The outer barrel threading is 11mm CW female, and the thread adapter features 14mm CCW male threads, enabling easy mounting of the most popular Airsoft muzzle devices.

Moving rearwards, we come to the full-sized Hi-Capa slide, which features hexagonal ports at the front and hexagonal texture at the rear, providing sporty looks in line with far more expensive custom builds. The ports extend over the top at the front of the slide, reducing weight for an edge in gas efficiency and cyclic speed.

At the top of the slide, we can find a light-enhancing front iron sight, which features a red front insert for easy target acquisition in low-light environments. This front sight is also raised to co-witness with your red dot sight when mounted and provide clearance so you can align the sights over the top of a tracer unit or suppressor. The rear sight mounts to the red dot plate at the rear of the slide, boasting anti-glare serrations so you can still meet the mark in bright sunlight.

The red dot plate at the rear of the slide allows the included red dot sight to be mounted using the included screw set. The red dot sight requires a single CR2032 button cell (not included) to power it. To install your battery, insert your CR2032 cell into the bottom of the sight and install it on the mount. To turn it on, simply press either of the two side brightness adjustment buttons, and to turn it off, long-press both simultaneously. Being packaged with a red dot sight makes this set fantastic value, with the bonus that you don't need to worry about sourcing compatible parts!

Moving down to the frame and pistol grip, we can find the controls of the Stryk Hi-Capa 5.1, extended versions of the well-liked 1911 controls layout, and very well placed for intuitive operation. The ambidextrous manual safety sits right beneath the shooter's thumb for fast access, and the extended slide release can also be reached from a firing grip. The manual safety locks the trigger and hammer, preventing the pistol from firing, but this obviously only works when the safety is on.

The Hi-Capa pistol series features an extra level of safety in the form of the beavertail grip safety, a proven design which dates back to this pistol's Granddaddy, the 1911. This safety prevents the pistol from firing if the grip safety is not depressed, meaning you will never have an accidental discharge from snagging the trigger on gear.

At the front of the alloy frame, we can find a 20mm Picatinny pistol rail, ideal for mounting tactical flashlights and lasers, should the mission require it. The magazine release can be found on the left side of the pistol and is a slightly raised design, which is easy to hit, but not so easy that you can accidentally drop your magazine in the heat of a firefight!

Both the hammer and trigger of the Stryk are skeletonised designs, reducing the weight of the pistol to only what is necessary for optimal performance, and tying in with the other high-speed features, like its racy ported slide. The pistol grip of the Hi-capa design is a modular part, separate from the alloy frame, and is made from textured polymer with an imitation hand-stippled texture for excellent gripping qualities.

The stippled grip provides enough friction to prevent an accidental drop, but not so much that you have to wear gloves in order to avoid tearing your hands apart. The texturing wraps around the entire grip and the hammer spring housing, adding to the elite looks of the Stryk and giving it vibes of pistols twice its price!

At the base of the grip, the full-size Stryk boasts what is known as a "flared magazine well extension" or simply "flared magwell". This device helps guide your magazine in during an adrenaline-pumped reload, ensuring you never miss the magazine well and can keep your eyes downrange, scanning for targets. A popular upgrade for Hi-Capas intended for competition shooting, the flared magwell also functions as a palm rest to encourage consistent hand positioning, which translates to accuracy downrange.

If you're figuring out a custom Hi-Capa build, the Lancer Tactical Stryk Hi-Capa 5.1 GBB w/ Red Dot is a fantastic alternative to doing it yourself. With all the mission essentials included in the box with custom styling, extended controls and rock-solid performance, the Stryk will save you a lot of messing around!
