Colt 1911 (CO2) power upgrade question

[sheene]

Does anyone know how to tune a Colt 1911 (umarex) CO2 pistol to the legal limit of 6ftlb and what are the pitfalls or negatives to doing this and are there any benefits other than increased power. Better longer range accuracy?

Woul like to know, thinking of buying one to upgrade then bling up. Chrome with Ivory look grips!

very unlikely to get near to 6ft.lb. from a multi shot co2 pistol as the magazine area leaks gas too much.

Think I read about .20 barrel conversions which ups the power a bit .

I doubt you could increase the power on a Co2 Pistol unless you some how managed to change the valving to allow more Co2 out per shot. Good luck with that

Thanks guys, i know it can be done, possibly with the valve. May need a smith?

Come on guys there must be someone who knows how to open up the valve. Can't be much more than that, maybe a stronger hammer spring?
