1911 FAQ
The 1911
Full Metal C02 Air Pistol
How do I operate the 1911?
Press the magazine release button on the left side and remove the magazine.
Using the provided hex key, unscrew the CO2 plug. Add a drop of gun oil (good maintenance practice to keep the seals working well) to the tip of the CO2 cylinder and insert.
Screw in the plug until the CO2 is pierced and sealed. Do not overtighten.
Load the magazine by pulling the follower down and holding it in place.
Tilt the magazine downward and insert 17 BBs.
Release the follower.
The magazine can now be inserted, press until it clicks.
Pull the slide back and release it. Your pistol is now ready to fire.
How do I use my sights correctly?
Align the front sight in the rear slot with the target sitting on top. The sights are fixed, so if the point of impact differs from the point of aim, try cleaning the barrel and/or switching the brand of BBs to get the best accuracy.
How do I field strip the 1911?
Remove the magazine. Pull the slide back and hold it at the first notch. Pull the takedown pin out, then remove the slide by pushing it forward.
