Colt 1911 pellet gun

Very realistic, Heavy Real gun feeling, Acurate on close targets ....

Wood grips are not as solid fit as the "plastic" one. Wood crips look great but are moving in hand and give a lose insecure sensation . For collectors I recommend Wood Grips, for shooters i recommend Plastic Grips. (Plastic grips are in the kit/box when wood grips are installed)

One of the pricey gun, but a very popular gun and well done !

Perfect replica, excellent quality

Would like to have the slide operate

Great collectible and fun to shoot

LOVE THIS GUN! Most realistic pellet gun I have seen and held. I used it for hours the first day I got it. at about 30 degrees F I was able to get 85-95 shots off with each CO2. It is easy to put in and take out CO2. This gun is most accurate pellet pistol I have ever shot as well. I was even able to shot a gallon jug fairly well at 150 feet with only having to aim very little above the target( this is will no wind.) After shooting 1000 times 500 hollow points 7.9grain and 500 round head magnums 10.5grain. this pistol has had no problems working at all. Both these ammo types were just as accurate, but due to the FPS only being 425 I suggest you use light ammo like hollow points they did more damage and went farther becouse this pistol shoots it at a higher FPS.

If they could change the sight or have it come as an option or something to come with the gun so a person can change the sight maybe. To have a night sight. Just something to make it easier to see the sight at night would me great

If you have the money this is SO WORTH IT.

Everything!

Nothing!

If your a 1911 fan like I am this is a must have!

If you are a 1911 fan, this particular model is a must as it is (visually) an authentic licensed replica of the 1911 firearm. Solid built quality. A real keeper and shooter. Went through ~300 pellets in first week, good power for a CO2 pistol and accurate for its intended use. Got 50+ good shots from each cartridge.

Sights are a bit high and non-adjustable for elevation. Aim a hair lower to compensate.

If you are looking to add this to your collection & use it as a shooter; the wood grips are worth the extra initial expense vs. adding them later. Visually & performance wise they make a difference. Blowback - don't worry about lack of blowback vs. say a Tanfoglio Witness. This is a different experience vs. a BB shooter and you won't miss/want the blowback after firing this pistol. The accuracy, power, built quality are what this pistol is all about.

Very close to the real deal in both weight and appearance It’s just so much fun to shot, and accuracy isn’t too bad for what it is

Not much really I have yet to experience the issues others have listed, other than not having (stock) Adjustable Rear Sights

Granted, it’s not an Olympic Style Target Model
The Double Action Trigger is not super great, but the Single Action Trigger isn’t really all that bad, once you get use to the Break
After adding the Beavertail Grip Safety and Fully Adjustable Rear Sight Set (both from Umarex), it really changed my enjoyment in shooting the Pistol
I get approx 100 well powered shot out of one Gas Cylinder
And it will shoot the center out of a Dime sized Target at 10 yards

Same size and weight as my .45 Very high quality Accurate

Nothing

Very nice looking handgun. Seems to have alot of quality and heft.

The grip safety. "Umarex" has had a problem with it causing low co2 output and mis-fires. Sometimes it does not fire at all. This problem has been around for a long time. It's time for them to fix this problem or remove it from there offering.

I was reluctant to buy this handgun because of the negative reviews concerning the grip safety and because I also had a problem with this same model some years ago. Sure enough, the very first time I went to use the gun it did not work. The same thing happened several years ago. I would have thought by now they would have addressed the problem. I returned that one and received another one that did the same thing. I then returned it for a full refund. This most recent purchase has also been returned,but for an entirely different pistol. I guess as long as the manufacturer keeps selling this pistol they won't bother fixing the problem. LET THE BUYER BE WARE !!!

This pistol has great looks and feels like the real deal.

Definitely needs an adjustable rear sight...shoots high and you must compensate significantly while sighting in.

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.

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.

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.

If Umarex would fix this problem it would have an excellent pistol.
