Colt Commander Magazine, .177 cal, 18rds

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.
