Colt 1911 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol, Full Metal

Feels and shoots like a dream.

Clear instructions on how to change the power, and a better way to reload mags.

Great for teaching the young ones on how to shoot a realistic gun.

Super sweet pistol feels like the real thing accurate and smooth! May buy another!

Tried to get the same gun from Evike.com 3 weeks before Christmas and never got the gun plus customer service didnt even care that it was my sons Christmas gift, instead of overnighting a new gun they gave me a refund and took out a 10% restocking fee? Dont ever buy from Evike.com!!!!!

Quality construction. Realistic action and feel. We used it for shooting bubbles from a bubble machine. Great fun.

Works and feel great. Functioning grip safety etc. Real wood grips will fit with some dremel work.Great for training for 1911.

It would be nice if the safety lever had a more positive feel for on and off. It works, but it does not have a clear detent. I just make sure I park my thumb over it when firing to make sure I do not engage it. Actually, this is good practice for me since I have engaged the safety while firing my real firearm 1911.

I did not purchase this at Pyramyd, but happened upon it locally as sort of an impulse purchase. It was only after I had sourced it locally, that I looked at Pyramyd and found out that it was available here. Get it from Pyramyd if you want to purchase it. I have only had great experiences dealing with them.

Overall appearance

This gun is not accurate at all,

Full metal. Very realistic. Awesome blow back action.

I don't really like the grips but no big deal.

The spare mags I got from pyramid air both sucked. They greatly reduced the blowback power

I bought this to practice proper draw, present, and shooting. Rather than use an actual 1911. Very pleased with it. The weight & springs are lighter than a real 1911 but are OK. The blowback operation is good. The overall experience is similar to a .22. A cartridge lasted about 8 pellet reloads. Quickly lost power after that, went from full power to phffutt in just a few shots. Accurate and powerful enough, was consistently hitting a 18" by 18" target at 60'.

The slide release doesn't release the slide automatically when it is racked back after a mag change. I have to hold the slide back and push the release down manually. The recoil spring is so weak that when I holster the gun (without engaging the safety) the slight friction pushes the slide out of battery. Yes, I know the thumb safety should be engaged prior to holstering. Just saying.

The blowback will use up CO2. I didn't see an issue with unwanted leakage, but if you leave the cartridge in the gun, it will leak out over time.. I would plan on using the cartridge up during a single session, not expect it to last over multiple sessions with delays between them.

If you want a good 1911 simulator, this is a good choice.

Very cool blow-back feature, and pretty good accuracy.

The mag that comes with this gun widens at the bottom of the bb chamber which sometimes causes them to fallout when loading.

This gun eats up CO2. every fourth mag you have to change it.

the feel of this gun is great.very acurate out of the box.easy to break down and clean about 60 shots per co2

you cant put the pistol in battery and put the hammer down to store in your holster.gas will start to escape

Just beautiful! Gun looks and feels like the real thing. The recoil is very realistic makes it feel like your shooting the real thing. Accuracy was very good at 20 feet 2 inch groups. Hits pretty hard so be careful if your playing indoors or up close.

Some kind of a retainer on the follower to hold it open when your loading the clip would simplify loading.

Clip is a little tricky to load, BB's snap in firmly but if you get a speed loader with the square end adaptor it's very easy. Just hold it firmly against the clip and push the button and the BB's go right in easily. The BB's are staggered in the magazine so be sure to check them after loading so you can get the maximum in amount in the clip. Grab an extra clip, the add on is better quality than the original plus you can shoot a lot longer before reloading BB's. All in all it's a great pistol, try one you won't be sorry.
