Colt 1911 Co2 Fixed Slide NBB Pistol (Black – Cybergun – 180306)
The Colt 1911 CO2 Fixed Slide (ref 180306) is a Colt-licensed non-blowback airsoft pistol from Cybergun, finished in black. It gives you the timeless shape of the 1911 in a simple, robust CO2 pistol whose slide stays fixed when you fire, so all of the gas goes into sending the BB on its way.
Cybergun holds licences for many famous firearms names, and its Colt 1911 range brings the official markings within reach of every budget. A fixed slide pistol like this is a sensible choice for target shooting, plinking and as a reliable backup in games, especially for players who want CO2’s consistency in cooler weather.
Why a fixed slide
On a non-blowback (NBB) pistol the slide does not cycle, which means fewer moving parts, less to go wrong and more efficient gas use. You will usually get more shots from each CO2 capsule than with a blowback pistol, and the simpler mechanism is easy to look after.
The trade-off is that there is no recoil kick, but for practice, plinking and a quiet, dependable sidearm that matters far less than reliability.
Why CO2
CO2 pistols run on 12g CO2 capsules, which are widely available and stay effective in colder temperatures than standard green gas. That makes them a good choice for British weather, and fitting a fresh capsule takes only a moment once you have done it a couple of times.
Always empty the gas before you remove a capsule, and never store the pistol with a capsule fitted.
Handling
The 1911 shape is famous for its slim grip and natural pointing, and it suits a wide range of hand sizes. Practise loading, fitting capsules and using the safety at home so you are comfortable with the pistol before taking it to a game or range.
Getting started
Fit a fresh 12g CO2 capsule following the manual, tightening the piercing screw firmly so the seal is made in one movement. Load BBs, test-fire at a safe target and adjust the hop-up, if fitted, until shots fly flat.
Have the replica chronographed at your site before play, and remember to empty and remove the capsule at the end of the day.

Compatibility
Uses magazines made for this Cybergun Colt 1911 CO2 model; Cybergun makes several 1911 versions, so check the reference number before buying spares. Uses standard 12g CO2 capsules. Should fit most holsters made for full-size 1911 pistols, but check fit before buying.
Care and maintenance
Always fire off or release any remaining gas before taking a CO2 capsule out, and never leave a capsule in the magazine for long periods. Put a drop of silicone oil on the tip of each new capsule before fitting it, which helps keep the seals supple.
Wipe the moving parts with a light film of silicone oil now and then, clean the inner barrel with a rod and patch, and use quality seamless BBs. Store the replica dry and empty.

Players wanting an affordable Colt 1911 with official markings, plinkers and target shooters, and anyone after a simple, dependable CO2 backup pistol.
