How many magazines can this go through on 1 co2 cartridge? Can you put real 1911 grips on this gun?

After 4 mags. speed and accuracy drop off sharply. The real wood grips will fit with some minor alteration , google to find the website that will show how.

The magazine holds the co2 so you will have to reload the magazine. My experience with it is about 3 full loads. The 4th load you will usually run out of co2 with. It really depends on how you fire it. Yes, real 1911 grips will fit but you will have to grind the back (gun) side of them to fit right. The gun frame is slightly raised for the co2 to fit. Hope this helps. It's a cool gun and fun to shoot but there are better options out there if you shoot alot.

I typically go through 4 magazines on one cartridge. If you shoot slowly (putting a few seconds between shots) the cartridge doesn't cool down too much; this will allow it to last longer. If you do some rapid fire play, the cartridge and gas temps drop towards freezing pretty quickly. Cold gas is much more dense so a lot more is used on each shot; that can lead to using a whole cartridge in less than one magazine. (I did that only once, I don't want to freeze the seals & damage them so I avoid rapid fire). I put standard rubberized 1911 grips on the gun without any issues.

Usually I go through about five clips of ammo with 17 rounds in each clip. However, it is better to put around 12 round in each clip because putting the maximum amount of ammo in the gun causes unnecessarily stress on the spring and usually forces more than one BB into the chamber, causing jams. Please note that jams are very rare, but if you do not care for the gun, it may jam more often than not. To answer your second question, you can put real 1911A1 grips on this pistol as this is a near replica. Though I have not tried it, some people have noted that you may have to slightly file down the back of the top of the left hand grip.

That depends a great deal on fire rate. As you discharge the co2 cartridge it will get cold. If you are shooting them fast it will have a noticeable drop in power after 20 to 30 shots. If you shoot one clip and then 10 minutes later go back to it...you will get through 30 to 40 shots before a loss of power. Ambient air also plays a role in this. A winter time shooting session will not last as long as a summer time session will. Mine had a lot of issues and I had to return it but my friend has one and says he can easily clear 50 shots if he warms the cartridge.

I would say 3 magazines with 15 bb's in them, about 45 bb's per co2. And the inner barrel is recessed, but it's colored gold, so unless your standing at a distance, you can see it pretty clearly. Not the gun I'd recommend to try to knock over a liquor store. ;-)

These grips will not fit on a compact 1911. Only Commander or Full size 1911, I had a Kimber Ultra Carry II, the grips would not fit. VZ does make compact grips though.

I've shot mine about 30 times on one co,2 cartridge , I mostly just wanted it to run off some troublesome critters .

I didnt know rifles can take CO2 cartridges, because I do not use them, but the CO2 cartridges are the same, therefore, I would say yes. but just buy 1 and try it, look for the picture on the box...if it says to use 12g CO2 cartridges, then it will work. but remember as the CO2 gets low, the speed will diminish.

I have had it for maybe 2 years now if I pop a co2 cartridge in it, it will shoot fine but I don't shoot it that often just for the record and the co2 runs out progressively so your shots become less and less accurate as you shoot

It has a ton of grip, but that's asking a lot. Would depend on the weight of the gun. With a 1911 I'd say no. I have an XDs 4 that would probably work fine, and there is enough flat surface that you could mount too magnets end to end.

No that magazine doesn't because the one you looked at is a spring pistol magazine search for a co2 pistol magazine for it it'll be close to 40$ for one extra mag

If it's a full size 1911 then yes. If you have an ambidextrous safety you may need to trim the top portion of the right side grip, it's easy to do.

I put an LC 9 and an S&W; bodyguard 380 in mine and it does good. I have not tried a 1911,it would be close if at all.

Yes, you will need to buy 12gram Co2 cartridges; also, the 12 outer casings are NOT reusable.

the grips are removable but they are just a bit bigger than normal 1911 pistol grips. . . and the bottom hole will have to be redrilled on the grips because its a half inch below the co2 grips i bought grips that were not predrilled and they look pretty good. . . the stock grips on the co2 version are not that bad though i do switch back to them quite often during my run and gun sessions

With lower weight BBs, such as .12 gram, you can go through at least three mags. With .20 gram, you can get through almost two. The last few rounds in the second mag are not full strength. Higher weight BBs drain the cartridge quick, no more than one at most! Plus, on full auto the cO2 usage is more, don't expect to get through more than one mag of anything.

I think they are designed for more powerful 1911s. But, it would not cost you very much to find out. If you are like most guys you will probably have one or more 45 cal. 1911s before too long. So, just save the buffers for them.

I believe this gun will last several years even under heavy use. If you start a using CO2 cartridge you might as well finish it as it will slowly leak off in a few weeks

Yes, it comes with one magazine. Magazine capacity is 22 rounds. Seems to get 2-3 loads of BBs on a single CO2 cartridge.

One CO2 cartridge will last between 3-4 reloads so around 90-120 shots. That is on the full power setting.
