EMG Salient Arms International™ 2011 DS Airsoft Pistol (5.1 / Aluminum) in Blue

Few sidearms hit the sweet spot between competition looks and battlefield grit like the EMG Salient Arms International™ 2011 DS in blue. This isn’t just another GBB pistol—this is a fully licensed EMG and Salient Arms collaboration, built from CNC-machined aluminium and bristling with performance features that give it proper skirmish credentials. Whether you’re a Hi-Capa aficionado or just want something that stands out on the field and still punches hard, this airsoft pistol brings serious presence.

Right out the box, you feel that reassuring heft—about 720 grams of solid aluminium goodness, and that’s before the 28-round gas magazine clicks into place. The 5.1-inch configuration walks a tidy line between CQB agility and field stability, offering a balanced centre of gravity for quick transitions and steady sight pictures. Slide serrations aren't just for show either—they're milled deep enough to get solid grip, even with wet gloves or muddy fingers.

Mechanically, the Tokyo Marui-compatible gas blowback system ensures reliable cycling and snappy recoil. That signature flat-faced SAI competition trigger breaks clean, and the skeletonised hammer is not only stylish—it also reduces weight on the cycling mass, keeping shot-to-shot recovery fast. Safety-wise, you're covered with ambidextrous thumb safeties and a responsive beavertail grip safety, ideal for “cocked and locked” carry.

Function meets flair with the gold-tinted match-grade outer barrel poking through the ejection port. It’s a threaded inner setup too, allowing you to attach a suppressor or tracer with the right adapter. Sight-wise, you've got a fixed fibre-optic front for daylight clarity and an anti-glare rear that co-witnesses if you go full operator and run a slide-mounted red dot.

Underneath, the hop-up adjustment dial is tucked away neatly beneath the outer barrel—easy to access once field-stripped. It's a gear-type unit, and when paired with heavier 0.25–0.30g BBs, this pistol reliably pushes 330 FPS on green gas. Whether you’re peppering targets from a window or ducking through doorways in a CQB sprint, the accuracy and consistency are dialled in.

The controls feel intuitive: an enlarged magazine release and extended slide release mean quick reloads and hassle-free manipulations under pressure. The grip? Diamond-textured and grippy enough to hold even with sweaty palms or gloves on. A flared match-grade magwell and SAI-marked baseplate guide your reloads in smoothly—even during a panic swap.

Upgrade potential is huge. Being Hi-Capa-based means there’s a vast ecosystem of aftermarket parts available—from tight bore inner barrels to recoil springs, hammers, hop-up rubbers, and even full internal kits. If tuning is your jam, this is a dream platform. Swap parts from AW, Army Armament, or JW and turn this sleek sidearm into a laser-focused race gun.

It looks the part, handles beautifully, and runs like a champ—what more do you want? The EMG SAI 2011 DS isn’t just for posing on Instagram (though it does look banging). This thing is built to be drawn, fired, reloaded and run hard. For the player who wants a GBB pistol that performs as well as it looks, and won't need babying, it’s a rock-solid choice.
