Colt 1911 Special Combat Classic Reviews

I love how the gun feels and looks its absolutely gorgeous BUT The accuracy does not exist just assume its gonna hit a general area because your not aiming at all lol

Accuracy needs major work...like a lot

Its a great gun just don't do competitive shooting lol

Great looking, easy to load.

Although it has a adjustable rear sight, it's not as accurate as my pellet guns. I need to experiment more, as it may be the norm for BBs. Wish I could find a red dot sight for it.

Do not shoot BBs indoors unless target is backed with a box of ground-up rubber mulch.

Quiet, accurate for a BB gun, sharp looking

Wish it was available in a pellet version

Metal construction Realistic feel Good magazine Good CO2 efficiency

Spring setup in magazine - spring started coming out of the bottom, got it back in and put some hot glue and it seemed to fix it

Appearance...

No instructions for setting the sights were included...CANNOT find any info on your site to adjust the sights of my 1911...would you please direct me to some instruction....

Great looking , feels good , shoots really nice for an inexpensive pistol Oh did I mention. Great looking

Hmmmmmmmm, for the money its a good buy but! I would add at least 3 or 4 mags to finish off the co2 That way you can reload mags and replace co2 all at once lol its a fun gun !

Great looking for the $ don't think youll be sorry with it

Accurate, looks great , high quality.

Nothing

A must have for the collection.

This is a long list. The fit and finish are quite good. The overall size is a true 1:1. The weight comes in a little less that an Alloy frame 1911, but is very close. Accuracy was good right out of the box. It fits my ECD holsters perfectly. The magazine drops away freely and the slide locks back on the last shot.

This is nit picking. The grip safety is not functional and the slide is a short stroke. Neither of these minor things hurt the ability to practice.

First, the first shot can be a double action shot with a trigger pull of about 8 /12 pounds. When shot as a single action (normal for the 1911) the trigger pull was 4 1/2 pounds. Either pull is acceptable and easy to control. Unfortuanly PA didn't have spare magazines, I haven't tried to source those yet, but they would be convenient for practicing reloads. The first 15 rounds were shot at 1/2 size veggie cans at 10 yards. 14 out of 15 were hits, pretty sure the miss was my fault. The second 15 were shot in doubles and triples from the holster at a large tide bottle at 20 yards. 15 out of 15 were hits in a spot that I could cover with my hand. Trigger reset seems a bit long but is easy to learn. I am going to enjoy this pistol, it is nice looking, accurate and inexpensive to shoot. For the cost of about 5 or 6 boxes of 45 ammo you can get the pistol, supplies and a truck load of practice. I'm tempted to get a spare.

Look and feel. This gun is so fun to look at and shoot. My grandson and I have a blast with it in the backyard.

After three magazines the keeper of the spring wore down and keeps popping loose and now I have a hard time loading the bbs. My grandson can’t load it at all. I think they need to do some type of a modification to the spring keeper.

Beware!! This gun does not have a one-year warranty as stated on the website. I found this out after sending it back to the manufacturer to see if they could fix it. Finally after a couple of phone calls I was informed that this gun is not expensive enough to have a one-year warranty. And its only good for 90 days. Very frustrating.

Glad to see a non-blowback replica still available. I prefer putting the CO2 into launching the BB rather than cocking the gun. I'm getting >90 shots on one CO2 cartridge and the muzzle speeds are ~390 fps. Accuracy is sub 2 inch groups of ten at 7 yards. The gun is basement noise friendly shooting into a rubber mulch box. The white dot front sight and black rear square notch sight works for me. Initial double action trigger pull was 9lb 11oz and single-action was 3lb 11 oz, but it's long and smooth.

Make the cheap plastic grips compatible with standard 1911 grips. The faux strap safety needs to be flush rather than protruding from the grip. It provides an awkward purchase that wouldn't exist on the real gun where it would be depressed to fire. The logo and warning info on the righthand slide face is ugly, but I used 600 grit wet sandpaper and light pressure to remove it. This removes the lettering and leaves the slide polished to match the other side. The cheap plastic grips sound hollow when tapped. I fill the underside with silicone later

I like the feel, heft and looks of the gun.

more visable sights and easier ammo loading

It's difficult to load BB's, so be aware that the instructions don't cover this.

The feel, the action, the looks are all I could've asked for in this model.

The method of loading BB's is very awkward and needs to go back to the original design.

The magazine is very difficult to load and many BB's miss the small opening.

It's cool, a bit heavy.

The looks

Loading chamber Trigger Graphics

Do not waste your money! Loading chamber is a joke. Trying to return your item is a joke. Never ordering again from the company!

Very nice plinking pistol. Fun to shoot (and cheap to shoot)

A grip safety would be nice and be more realistic, but for the price I'm not complaining. Very cool special edition.

Great looking airgun and it performs well. You won't be disappointed.

Looked good in photos

Looks cheaply made

Not worth the money

Pistol looks great. Nice heft from the metal parts used and feels like a real M1911. Fairly quiet and good accuracy once you get used to the trigger. Love the adjustable rear sight.

Change trigger. The trigger on this gun would be more at home on the CZ75 and detracts from the otherwise realistic looking pistol.

The double action trigger is long and heavy. Single action is much better. At 10 yards I had no trouble staying within a 4" circle using Umarex steel BB's. Well worth the selling price.

I like the whole package, the weight, especially the looks, and of course the way it shoots, which I find excellent, easy to load and very accurate , especially for a smooth bore BB pistol

I can not think of a thing

Only that if you get one, you will not be disappointed, I own and shoot regularly 5 other air gun pistols, and not just BB pistols, of them all, this is right at the top as one of my favorites

I really was impress with the hold and feel of this gun. I left good using it.

nothing

Ti treat this gun with respect. I feel good about this gun.

Good weight, solid feel, looks absolutely great, real collectors piece, nicest bb pistol I have ever owned. Slide works to push hammer back for less trigger pull, hammer actually works, solid ammo clip smartly combined with the co2 cylinder bed. CO2 lasted a long time and shots remained on target at 10-15 feet. Extremely pleased!

A real blowback slide but then co2 gets blown away too. Sliding trigger instead of the hook just for a little more historical accuracy to the original 1911.

The hammer looks like it could be easily broken. Not super accurate but still fun. L
