Umarex Colt 1911 Pellets?

[oldskoolzzz]

Marc covered the main bits above, I'd say. The only bits I'd add is to load the CO2 with the gun inverted or slanted so that gravity does some of the work for you and to cup the slide when you release it to change mags so it doesn't thump up against the stop- it feels good to have that "clack" but you'll get less wear by damping it. I tend to use pellgun every three bulbs, but people all do different things and a lot of people, like Marc do every other one with no problems- oh, don't over-lube...you just need a drip on the top of the bulb

Brill, thanks for the tips

Yes regards the slide I do try and dampen it when opening to avoid any wear.

Treating it similar to those break barrel pistols that have the release catch I always try and avoid the clank when returning the lever back by holding the catch open.

I know what you mean though it does feel good to have the opening 'clack' but as you say it's best to dampen it really.

Thanks

No problem guys

Lol its funny you should say that mate, it's the least favorite of my images guns, it just don't feel like a real 1911 to me, and I really dislike the trigger, it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing though wouldn't it, it's still a very good airgun though that's for sure, a rough diamond lol

Happy shooting guys..

Mine's been customised a bit by Nick (M9 Designs)- fully tuned up and with a polished ali beavertail and curved backstrap etc. Sits perfectly in the hand. I added a real steel adjustable rear sight as well. I didn't think anything would wean me off my tuned CP88 which has the adjustable sights and walnut grips but this did. A bit sad really as the CP88 doesn't get used much now

I've got a Steve Taylor custom umarex 1911 that's very smooth to shoot

The first thing I do with the 1911 is remove the sloppy transfer bar, lock the grip safety closed with black Sugru. Then drill and tap the hammer face to build up the height slightly with a screw in spacer to make up the thickness of the missing transfer bar. Pistol operates much more smoothly and consistently.
