      1911 issue?

      By Asomodai · Posted

      1911's have terrible gas capacity. TMs are the best 1911 because of the low weight plastic slide, but even TMs struggle to fire more than a single loads worth of bb's.   It's likely you will need to lube the slide as TMs can be quite dry out of the box. A dry slide will also increase gas usage to persuade a dry slide to move.   Also if you are constantly firing it in a short amount of time, the mags and gas get very cold, which means it gets far weaker and prevent the slide from locking back. The warmer the mags, the higher power the gas inside is.   TMs do not have silent fill valves so gas does escape when filling. This is perfectly normal.   ------------   Lube the slide with silicon oil, don't constantly use 1911 gas pistols with rapid fire and I am sure it will lock back on empty every time.    Readjust your expectations, 1911s are cool, but the small gas capacity has always been a problem and you will need to regas for every load of bb's you fire.

      Suspicious, maybe unfounded

      By novioman · Posted

      I was going to buy a pistol from a member on here. I asked for his PayPal and he asked for mine, which i thought rather strange. Went to my PayPal and entered his details, and it showed the amount and the conversion into HKD ?  Didn't complete and asked if he was in the U.K.  He said that’s why I asked for your PayPal, to avoid confusion, he then sent a PayPal payment request. Again asked for his address and he gave me a Lancashire address. I checked and it was a legitimate address. I have asked the last guy who left him feedback for advice after buying a very expensive pistol from him,  unfortunately despite being on here quite regularly he has declined to answer my message.  Told now the pistol is sold so I missed out, not sold on here though apparently.  The seller seems a pleasant helpful guy and I would have liked to buy the pistol, but things just didn’t seem quite right. Would a guy from HK now living over here still have a PayPal account that converts £’s into HK Dollars.
