    Lightbulb Upgrading Co2 Pistols - Action Air Shooting?

    I recently read through a post about Action Air Shooting and was wondering about the tuning and upgrading options for the range of umarex pistols by them or others that people can recommend?

    Links and info vey much appreciated.

    A cheaper option is have them supply a Umarex with tuned hammer, slide and trigger like this CP88 they supplied me with last month

    One good place to get an idea of what can be done and is available if to get along to an IPAS meeting - lots of tuned and customised multi shot CO2's to see there. Matches advertised here:

    Smooth out, lighten and tune the trigger, improve the gas flow, upgrade the indexing, bob (lighten) the hammer and if your lucky fit an alluminiun shroud.

    I handled a 4" one that had been upgraded in this manner and it was a revelation.

    Have you a link to their full range of guns?

    They dont have a list as such

    They tend to specialise in 1911 as these are the most popular for IPAS but will supply most of the Umarex multi shot pellet in modified form

    If you email them with specific queries you will find them helpful - they are real enthusiasts who take a pride in their work
