Experience & handling – Colt 1911 Combat Elite Commander T8

With a length of 22.4 cm and a weight of 690 grams, this pistol sits comfortably in the hand without feeling cumbersome. The checkered grip plates on the front and rear provide extra grip, even when wearing gloves or during intensive use. Thanks to the adjustable hop-up, you can fine-tune the trajectory of your BBs. With gas blowback pistols, you'll notice the realistic recoil with every shot, which adds to the experience during play. Do bear in mind that gas can be sensitive to temperature and that you need to regularly lubricate the seals and internal components after use to keep everything running smoothly.

This model carries the official Colt licence and follows the classic 1911 design with beaver tail, safety, trigger and fixed sights. The metal frame and slide give you a realistic experience, whilst internal upgrades such as the T8 steel hammer group, 70 degree hop-up bucking and improved piston head ensure reliable performance. The serrations on the front and rear of the slide make racking easy, even under pressure.

Who is this model suitable for?

This pistol is particularly suitable for indoor environments and all-round use at short range.
