Colt 1911 vs Colt SAA

[eyebull]

The only issue I have with the blowback 1911s is the wear on the safety, it becomes dangerous after a while.

That said, I never use a safety anyway, they are just not safe.

Yes, well worth mentioning.
If you put the safety on on my TFW and then pull the trigger while also operating the grip safety, when you then take the manual safety off the gun will fire
I'm glad I found this out when dry firing....

Harvey -you will find one man and his mate,not U.K. based ,on you tube.

They show you badly deformed bb Peacemaker barrels where naughty bbs have got out of line on entry and in one case punched a hole through the barrel.

They blame poor build and thin barrels.

I blame tinkering with new guns and bad re assembly but then I'm an old cynic.

Interesting stuff thanks, I had a look at a few and the one where the guy shows two guns needing three clicks to cock fully and align the barrel and another gun that needed four clicks was telling.
The fact that the gun would fire when the chamber was at one of the less than fully cocked positions explains the denting in the forcing cone.
The bit I found unbelievable was that once into the thick metal forcing cone, the bb could about an inch into the barrel - exit sideways!
This seems unlikely without another external factor at play because it would seem to defy the laws of physics which dictate that once a body is in motion it continues on it's path in a straight line unless acted on by another force. In this case, it had made it through the forcing cone and into the barrel and once in there it's not got a lot of room to bounce around - so unless you try to stop it, its going to come out of the open end!

Load of bballs in my view.

Incidentally the 7 1/2 Peacemaker is v.good.
Just got back from range with mine.
Good power and accurate.
Pellet.

Those extra inches cost a lot tho!

I'll try again:
Are there any pellet 1911's with blowback? or is that only available on BB versions?

I want a 1911 with blowback to practice with and I don't want steel bb's bouncing all over

[gingernut]

There aren't any.
Hence no replies.

My thoughts entirely. Hate safeties anyway but deffo don't rely on the on them with the lookalike guns. Pete.

Go 6mm bb and the world's your oyster. Slightly safer than steel.

One Pellet gun only Colt Government 1911 by Umarex, BUT NO Blowback

You could try the H&N 'EXCITE' copper coated lead BBs for no rebound?

Fair enough thanks.
