Nice looking case, very similar to a large Plano case I use (and love). It looks like the latches may be better on the Nuprol. Good luck.

Thank you for the quick reply Asomodai, The problem was happening when I had just filled the magazine and started shooting right away, the mag was really cold. I’ll refill and let the mag warm up before shooting and see the difference. I did take the slide off and thought it looked dry but don’t know enough to to be sure. I do have silicone oil so will lube it and see. Is there any areas to be wary of when lubing it up? Thanks again

It could be genuine but always go with your gut instinct.

Thank you very much for all of the replies just quoting one as I didn’t want to fill the feed, great information from everyone! I found some Abbey 144a gas but it’s got ‘maintenance’ gas written on the from will this work or no good? Thank you again!

No, he removed the advert, apparently because he was getting low offers so decided to keep it. When I asked he said he would sell to me as I had approached him with questions before. He definitely has or had the pistol as he provided pics that I asked for without problem.

Got a link to the pistol ?

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.

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.

I’ve just bought my first gas pistol and am having an issue. It’s a TM MEU 1911 The first few mag worth of BB’s I put through the gun worked fine. Now I’m starting to have issues where the blow back is not working and not loading the next BB, I have to manually cock it it get it going again. It will then work for a few shots and stop again. The slide will also not retract when the mag is empty. Before I take it back to the shop, could I be doing something wrong? I’ve looked at a few YouTube videos and I’m not convinced I’ve been putting gas in the magazine correctly as I seem to get a lot of gas escaping. Also the gas will only last for one load of BB’s and I’ve heard there should be enough gas for another reload. Any thoughts? On a side note I love the gun, I went in the shop to buy a Glock 17 or Beretta M9, they guy in the shop handed me the 1911 and it really felt right.

I’m at 60cm when I’ve avoided the barber for a while (59cm with the normal short-back-and-sides) and the PTS Flux fits me like a glove. The pads feel like memory foam, so they compress nicely when they need to, and don’t when they don’t
