Reviews summary Colt 1911 pellet gun
Things I liked:The Umarex M1911 is a very nice pistol. I have shot .45ACP M1911’s extensively and it mimics the look and feel very closely. It is accurate, operates smoothly, and, except for the problem explained below, is well designed and very well constructed. Things I would have changed:The implementation of the grip safety leaves much to be desired. Unlike in the pistol it is modeled on it operates by moving a transfer bar in between the hammer and firing pin when depressed. This transfer bar is only loosely attached to the safety’s action bar, so that, if it is even slightly out of spec, as it was on the first two pistols that I received, it will fail to move completely into position and you get a misfire. What others should know:If Umarex would fix this problem it would have an excellent pistol. Comments
I bought this pellet gun in 2005 and after some moderate use, i had the same problem with the transfer bar. in order to fix it i took the gun appart and had to reset the rivet that holds the transfer bar to the arm. it's working ok now but i waiting to see if the repeated use wears it loose again. Things I liked:This pistol is quite accurate - easily shoots a 3/4" group at 10 meters - and is very similar in weight and dimensions to my .45 caliber 1911 pistols. It is easy to load the CO2 cartridge and I seem to be getting around 65 quality shots from each one. The delivery time was excellent - arrived three days after purchase with standard shipping via FedEx. I have no complaints whatsoever about the pistol's quality, and the service from PyramydAir was excellent. Things I would have changed:I would not bother spending the extra money for the wood grip model for the simple reason that the pistols are identical other than the grips. Any standard 1911 grip seems to fit just fine, and wooden grips can be purchased all day for around $40 or less on-line. The black (not blue) finish of the pistol is rather rough and the entire operation manual appears to be imprinted on the right side of the receiver in bold, white lettering - the side that never appears in any of the ads. The standard grips arrive with the pistol and are in a plastic bag that originally held the wooden grips (according to the markings on the bag). What others should know:Buy the standard 1911 A1 model and you'll be very satisfied! I can't imagine any service that could be more prompt or professional, and the PyramydAir folks kept me informed via email of the status of my order and shipping information from the day I placed the order until it arrived. BTW: Standard Crossman CO2 cartridges and wadcutter pellets shoot just fine and are readily available in most local sporting good stores.

Things I would have changed:Definitely needs an adjustable rear sight...shoots high and you must compensate significantly while sighting in.
What others should know:I have had this pistol for sometime but only recently started serious shooting with it. After testing numerous pellets, it seems to shoot best with RWS Meisterkugeln WC at 7.0 Gr which provides a Chrony velocity of 353.34 FPS and an energy value of 1.94 FP. In the past I had considered this pistol for use only at 10M targets due to its relatively short barrel and lack of elevation adjustment. However, I decided to give it a try at 50 feet and although the groups were not any better, the overall score was. It definitely shoots high and is more obvious at 10M than at 50 feet. This pistol looks great and has a good trigger in single action but is not the best target pistol. If you give it a good 15-20 sec between shots and really concentrate, than it will provide acceptable shots but there is no leeway in your shooting technique.
