Colt Commander Magazine, .177 cal Reviews

This item was offered free after phoning Pyramyd about the problem I was having with magazine.

The magazine design does not positively position the CO2 cartridge for piercing which can allow the piercer to be damaged. Once damaged, the CO2 cartridge will leak all gas when pierced.

Works well.

Nothing

Good Magazine

Lockdown feature of bb follower. Loading port that allows easier loading of bb's

Nothing

Bought 2 of these to replace SA 1911 mags that had defective seals. Works very well.

Authentic look and feel

Make the magazine easier to load

Seal in magazine for CO2 cartridge failed after about 200 rounds

The magazine is heavy, although I think there may be a issue with the piercing screw. I recently purchased (2) New magazines because when I tried to puncture the air cyjinder of my old magazine the screw seemed to be offset causing total loss of air. Upon receiving the new magazines tried to load cy!I need which did not leak, but i"n getting no pressure to expel the BB"s???

Have no idea how to solve the issue, but so i contact Company when I have some time to focus on problem!

Having an extra clip.

Cover the CO2 cartridge and load it from the bottom like other clips.

You can't go wrong with extra clips and as long as you use a lubricant like Pel-oil and get a few CO2 carts with lubricant in the cart the CO2 stays charged for a long time!

I have 2 extras for those really intense days of shooting. Allows you to let CO2 cylinder to warm up between sessions. Allows you to practice reloads during a session too.

As others have pointed out, it would be better with lock open position for the follower.

You can fit 19 rounds, but sometimes the follower gets stuck after a round or two.

I am really happy with the Colt Commander magazine I order from Pyramid Air. Fit and function are perfect and the ordering process really went well. Great job! Thank you

I like having the extra Magazine for my Commander because I like to shoot without reloading all the time.

The only thing I might change would be to have a lock open notch for the spring.

Have more fun with an extra Magazine

Exact replacement.

Ability to rebuild.

Original developed a leak. Pyramyd service said that they do not repair and recommend a call to Umarex. I called Umarex whose remedy was to buy a new pistol because mine is out of warranty by a year. I found this magazine for the current Umarex Colt Commander at Pyramyd. It appeared identical to mine and it is. Cost was $30 plus shipping! Thanks Pyramyd! The original magazines internal valve was really dirty so cut a CO2 cartridge in two and found it really dirty. Switched to Umarex CO2 which seems to be much cleaner. Umarex says many that come in for repair failed from dirty CO2. The Umarex cartridges seal better than the more popular ones that I had been using. Down side is they are made in Taiwan.

Metal, quality construction. Holds 18 rounds, but you can just load 8 like a real 1911a. The more you buy, the realer it gets.

No changes

Great quality, but found some factory packing coating on magazine interfered with the release. A good cleaning and coating with Frog Lube on the outer magazine housing eases loading into pistol and ejection much easier.

made well ,works good

easyer way to load bb,s ,if you made the loading spring to go all the way down to bottom of clip and have an off set lock notch,,,drill a hole in the clip loading spring notch the size a bb can load through,, it would work much better ,,tb buf ny

on your back up clip its best to put new cylinder in and just turn the locking screw slightly so it just touches the bottom of the cylinder ,then tighten when ready to use it ,you can store cylinder in clip much longer this way ..

Well made, works well

n/a

Item seems to work good. It disappointing the pistol's magazine failed so quickly.

I think the feed spring could have a lighter pull.

I used Crosman pellgun oil on the tip of the CO2 cartridges faithfully, yet after less then 1000 shots the original magazine would exhaust all the CO2 out after inserting cartridge and tightening the screw.

Well made nice weight easy to load

Not a thing

Use a drop of crossman pell gun oil on the tip of your CO2 cartridge to keep your colt performing well.

lets you practice like a real firearm ,works well

would like to see them made for pellets

If you have a 1911 blowback ,you need a couple

Drop out mag that feels and looks like the real thing. Contains the CO2 as a unit so once the bbs are gone you can reload using multiple mags without having to stop and change out CO2 all the time.

Mag sticks in the pistol mag well. Need to pull the mag out. So improvement with mag retention would be nice.

Each mag with new CO2 lasts about 3 and a half load of bbs with the Colt Commander.

It was easy to load the CO2 Canister and BB's.

I would like to load the BB's at the top without using my pen to push the last BB into its chamber.

Nope.
