    What about these Webley mkVI service revolvers? Just been looking at some photos and they look great

    I've just purchased a Colt SAA too and looking forward to having a play with it

    I learned the hard way to do all my gun work myself about 20 years ago! And I'm a quite conservative when it comes to modifications.

    Thanks! I'll look into the UBC info. The Umarex Colt is somewhat of a turnoff for me, as I shoot 1911's competitively (legal here in Norway), and the Umarex version has a trigger that does not come close to the original. Kinda ruins the experience when you are intimately familiar with how its supposed to work.

    Don't know why Umarex made such a mess of their 1911 trigger/safety set up.

    All the Taiwan 1911 BB guns work well.

    I have to agree there. The grip safety works fine on single action but grates on double to the extent I find myself wishing it was just cosmetic!

    Grip safety apart, I'm a fan of the Umarex 1911.

    Just to follow up on this, the Colt SAA arrived today and blimey, CO2 pistol quality has come a LONG way

    I've got a few older models such as the Beretta 92f and more recently a pair of Dan Wesson revolvers, but this little Colt is top notch, can't wait to have a plink with it later in the week

    You can pin the grip safety, all the IPAS users normally had this minor mod done. I still have my modified Gold Cup version as it has too many good memories attached to it.

    Thanks Mark,

    I seem to recall reading this somewhere but I'm a bit of a tit when it comes to mods unless the job is really simple such as working on a CO2 Makarov. The Umarex clones frighten me as I would probably make a hash of it and then wish I'd left well alone!

    Kind regards,

    John

    The trigger just isnt good enough. I have an old Daisy 44, and that actually has a better trigger.
