Colt 1911 Special Combat BB Pistol

Check out my pictures. I'm sure they don't recommend doing what i did, but for the sake of having a gun that's not a collection of loose parts, and is not in danger of shooting off a BB every time the slide is nudged forward, i felt that I had to make some modifications. I'm sure i voided the warranty BUT being as the gun was only $100 I feel it's worth it to have it shoot more accurately. didn't get picture of everything I changed, but got a few. The main issue, I feel, was no so much the loose construction throwing off shots, but the SAFETY issue of having the firing pin stuck behind the slide! the gun DOES fire like this. i took hundreds of shots not fully realizing the hammer should be stricking the firing pin itself, not the back of the slide and jamming the slide forward into the pin. took over 1,000 shots before it dawned on me that just pushing the slide forward could fire the gun and this needed to be fixed! used a dremel tool to fix the back of the slide and fix it.

Pros
Let's face it: I bought it for the looks! it's beautiful!! The Price was excellent too! Always wanted a 1911 and this one seemed like the obvious choice for a newer airgunner, without spending much on something I wouldn't appreciate the extra value in. I've been getting about 100 shots per CO2! which is great.

Cons
firing pin gets stuck behind fake retainer clip at back of slide. it. Barrel on mine was loosely mounted. one pin was driven all the way through to the other side and even after i drove it in with a drift pin, the whole inner assembly was loose within the gun. Actually used a very small WOOD shim to rectify this. Also the slide was very loose. would rock side to side. needless to say, the sights are mounted on the slide so this combined with the loose barrel made shots a little erratic!! Could hit the target everytime but never in a tight group, even with a rest. Also, the slide catch/release is deceiving; a few times i thought the magazine was all the way in and it wasn't! after shooting a few shots and walking up to the target it simply fell right out! gotta make sure you really slam it in there good and that the magazine is locked in place. RE: the sights, the rear adjustable sight is great for adjusting windage, BUT if you need to adjust it up the whole sight wobbles.

It’s a replica I didn’t know it was a blowback so that was a plus for me will definitely order more happy with my purchase

Pros
Weight of the gun

Bought this a while back on vacation in Poland and thought it was awesome. Overall great fun but my mag spring broke. Is there anywhere I could get a replacement?

Pros
Awesome feel, totally realistic looking, fun to shoot

Cons
Squeaky- could use some gun oil

Shoots so good & such fun can be hard to put down. Get it, you'll like it!

Pros
Very pleasantly surprised at the quality & functionality of this awesome replica, about as close to the real thing as you can get. Quite accurate out of the box, no sight adjustment was needed at all. Fun shooter & training weapon. Can't go wrong, very nice job on this gun.

Cons
A little more power would be nice, I did get a full 6 magazines from my first co2 powerlet.

Seems to be very accurate I’d like it

Pros
None

Cons
None

hi today i just started with my first co2 air pistol .i wanted to start big and go bigger with nicer and nicer looking modles i found a lot of nice ones on here i think once my order gets in ill write my first real review

Handles like the real 1911....weight and appearance. Great for practicing shooting techniques and improving “iron sight” aiming techniques.....while not spending a lot of money on ammunition or range facilities.

Pros
Price, quality, performance

Ordering was simple and quick shipping. The pistol is Great!! Makes a very nice addition to my 1911 collection.

Pros
Well made with a great finish.

Cons
None

Once again the dummies at Umarex screwed up. This is a single/double action BB pistol. No blowback, so the accuracy should be good, except that Umarex chose to cut cost and put plain crap sights on this gun. A crisp White Dot Sight System would sky-rocket the sale of this BB gun, but instead we get garbage. Thanks Umarex, you dummies.

Pros
single/double action

Cons
sights are junk

This is a great gun!! It is very frugal on CO2 and shoots in the low 400's FPS. This has fully adjustable rear sights. This is both single and double action. The single action trigger pull is under 5 lbs. and very smooth. This also has very good accuracy for a BB pistol. I made some custom grips for this out of ASH (See Photo). Standard 1911 grips do not fit this model. I shot both the Daisy Premium 5.1 gr as well as the Dust Devil 4.35 gr. through the colt and they were very close in performance.

Pros
The trigger, the weight, the looks and the fact you get 100 rounds plus on a single CO2 cartridge. Also keep in mind they do not make this model anymore, when they are gone, they are gone! Buy one while you can!!

Cons
NO...I am not going to say that the non BLOW-BACK is a con. This gun has higher velocity and many more shots per CO2. So embrace the style and model!
