Oversimplifying...

HiCapa's (TM/WE/other) are replicas of STI/SVI pistols. 2 part lower...a frame component and a grip. For real steel double-stacked, hi capacity magazines.In that sense...the TM HiCapa is quite an accurate replica. They are also known as 2011-style pistols.

1911's tend have integrated grip/lower frames as one piece. Their airsoft replicas may still have double stacked magazines for 6mm bbs, but are usually very slim when compared to a TM HiCapa. The grip (removable grip panels with most all 1911's and not so with 2011's) of 1911's tends to be much slimmer overall than the 2011's.

The KJW that you reviewed is more similar to the HiCapa than anything else.
