Description
Colt 1911 (Rail) Co2 Pistol (Silver – Fixed Slide – Cybergun – 180315)
This Colt 1911 Rail from Cybergun is a licensed, CO2-powered replica of the iconic 1911, finished in silver and fitted with a fixed slide (code 180315). The fixed slide means it is a non-blowback pistol: the slide does not cycle when you fire, so the gas is used purely to propel the BB.
The 1911 is one of the best-known pistol designs ever made, and the railed frame gives it a modern touch, allowing you to fit a torch or laser. The bright silver finish makes it a striking pistol to own and a nice contrast to the usual black sidearms.
Fixed slide performance
Non-blowback pistols do not cycle the slide when they fire, so all of the gas goes into propelling the BB rather than cycling the action. That usually means more shots from each CO2 capsule and a simpler mechanism with fewer parts to wear, which is why non-blowback CO2 pistols are popular for target shooting, plinking and as reliable sidearms.
A fixed slide also keeps the trigger light and consistent from shot to shot, which helps when you are working on accuracy at a target.
Design
The pistol follows the classic 1911 shape with a single-stack style grip that suits a wide range of hand sizes. The accessory rail on the frame under the barrel takes standard pistol lights and lasers, which is useful for indoor sites and night games.
The silver finish looks particularly good in a display case, but the pistol is equally at home on the skirmish field as a dependable sidearm.
Getting started
Fit a fresh CO2 capsule as described in the manual, adding a drop of silicone oil to its tip first, and tighten the seal firmly in one movement so it pierces cleanly. Load the BBs, then fire a few shots at a safe backstop to check the pistol is working correctly.
Have the pistol chronographed at your site before play, and always empty and remove the capsule at the end of the day.

Compatibility
Use the CO2 capsules described in the manual and Cybergun magazines made for this model, as CO2 magazines are model specific. The frame rail accepts standard 20mm pistol lights and lasers. Holsters for railed 1911s are a good starting point, but check the fit with any light or laser fitted.
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.
Who is it for?
This silver Colt 1911 Rail suits fans of the 1911 who want a simple, gas-efficient CO2 pistol, collectors of licensed replicas, and target shooters who value a consistent trigger.
Please note: CO2 capsules and BBs are not listed as included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection when using airsoft replicas.
