Colt 1911 CO2 Metal
The 1911 CO2 Metal Airsoft Pistol this replica is the logical continuation of the gas model M1911 A1 Green Gas Pistol . It also has the Blow Back feature, though here it is propelled by CO2. The integration of a 12 g. Sparklet is very intelligently done so as not to betray the design of the original model, though the stub of the magazine is slightly wider.
Its introduction is very simple, using a cap that screws down (take the 6 recessed sides with the help of an Allen key or a coin (relatively thin given that a straight slit is also present; practical in all terrain).
The decorative finishing of the replica in its entirety is superb. Not too matte, not too fl ashy, this 1911 has the ideal look to bring back this period of history.
The Blow Back system, which was already effective in the gas-activated model, is here almost violent thanks to the power of CO2.
Together with the added weight of the whole piece and above all of the breech and you get extraordinary sensations, recoil and movements that quickly make you forget that this is a Soft Air gun.
The noise of the shot adds still more to the realism and the perceived power. With power that is, nonetheless, less than one Joule, the CO2 model offers a very rapid fi ring rate, with almost imperceptible loss of power. One Sparklet allows you to fire 60 pellets.
The adjustable Hop Up system lets you round out the precision of shooting according to the type of pellets you use and the distance to target. The maximum range measured was 50 m.
It is easy to disassemble the Colt A1. First of all, you should take off the magazine, then remove the breech lock, after which the breech comes off all by itself. Now you have access to the Hop Up adjustment controls and you can maintain your replica.
