- description
The VP-X is aimed at players who like the classic 1911 feel but want something with a more modern, match-inspired stance. The extended front end, ported slide detail and substantial frame give it a planted feel in the hand, while the single-action 1911 control layout keeps the manual of arms simple and familiar.
Its appeal is not only visual. The VP-X uses the Vorsk MEU magazine family, so standard and extended magazines are easy to build into a practical skirmish loadout. The included gas and CO2 nozzle setup also makes it a flexible option for players who may want to run green gas most of the year and CO2 magazines when conditions suit.
Choose the standard VP-X when you want the core platform without paying for a red dot bundle or a decorative Match-only finish. It is the cleanest entry into the VP-X family and the most sensible base if you plan to add your own magazines, holster setup or HPA adaptor later.

Before you buy
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Gas | Use a suitable green gas from our gas collection, with stronger gases reserved for suitable temperatures and maintenance routines. |
| BB weight | For a GBB pistol, 0.25g or heavier BBs are a better starting point than lightweight 0.20g ammunition. |
| Spare magazines | The VP-X uses Vorsk 1911/MEU magazines; carrying multiple magazines makes it far more practical for skirmish use. |
| Holster fit | Check holster clearance carefully because the VP-X has an extended fixed front end rather than a plain 1911 slide profile. |
Frequently asked questions
Can the Vorsk VP-X run on CO2?
It is set up for green gas, but a CO2 nozzle is supplied, so it can also run CO2 magazines when conditions suit.
Which magazines does the VP-X take?
Vorsk 1911/MEU Series gas magazines, with 21-round standard and 36-round extended options.
Will the VP-X fit my 1911 holster?

Start with 0.25g or heavier BBs rather than lightweight 0.20g ammunition.
How heavy is the VP-X?
It weighs around 1,570g and is about 260mm long, with a CNC-finished aluminium alloy slide and frame and a HIPS polymer grip.
