Colt Defender CO2 Pistol 4.5mm Steel BBs, black

CO2 Pistol Colt Defender black for 4.5mm steel ballsDescriptionThe CO2 replica produced by Umarex is a reproduction of the compact Colt Defender. A standard 12g CO2 capsule pressurizes the system. This is directly clamped into the grip. To do this, the grip panels only need to be removed. This is done by pressing the magazine release. The ammunition is loaded in the same way. Under the grip panels, there is an integrated tank for 16 steel balls in caliber 4.5mm BB. A blowback system has been omitted in favor of performance. Thus, the CO2 is used exclusively for propelling the balls and therefore lasts for longer shooting sequences. The Colt Defender CO2 pistol features a Double Action Only trigger and does not need to be cocked. After disengaging the safety, only the trigger of the CO2 weapon needs to be pulled. The sights are a micrometer version replicated but are not adjustable.Technical data for the Colt Defender CO2 pistolCaliber: 4.5 mm BBMagazine capacity: 16 steel ballsTrigger: DAO Double-Action OnlySpecial feature: Full metal constructionDrive: 12g CO2 capsulesColor: black, grip bluedLength: 177 mmBarrel length: 108 mmWeight: 724 gramsVo: 134 m/sOur assessmentAmong the numerous replicas or derivatives of the Colt 1911, the Defender replica from Umarex is a very interesting variant. The CO2 pistol is very compact and fits well in the hand. The sharp original has been replicated down to the last detail. Only the slide safety on the right side reveals the CO2 weapon.The workmanship is also impeccable. All parts have been manufactured with great precision, so nothing rattles.

Both fittings are possible after pressing the "magazine release" and removing the grip panels.

The weapon looks good, feels secure in the hand, and shoots absolutely great. We found no reason for complaint.Information about the originalThe Colt Defender is in itself an independent series. The system is fundamentally based on the Colt 1911. Therefore, the Defender pistol also inherits the robustness and reliability. The weapon was specifically developed for defensive purposes in conjunction with concealed carry. With the "concealed carry permit," this is possible in many states in the USA. The Colt Defender is offered in 9mm Para as well as the status caliber .45 ACP. Due to its compact dimensions and the associated short sight line, a sporting or official use is not intended. The pistol is only partially used as a concealed backup weapon.When talking about the 1911, anyone who has ever had anything to do with firearms knows immediately what is meant. Nowadays, it is produced by many manufacturers worldwide. However, the original was developed by Colt in 1911 and was put into service with the US Army under the designation "U.S. Pistol, Caliber .45 Model of 1911." Until 1985, the M1911 was part of the standard equipment of American GIs. In the 21st century, the advantages of the legend were recognized again, and in 2012, a total of 12,000 units of the new model M45A1 were ordered for the US Marine Corps. The key to success is the basic structure of the weapon based on the locked breech developed by Browning. This is quite...
simple in design, yet it proved to be nearly indestructible in various stress tests. Aside from its official use, the number of private users has rapidly increased over the decades. Today, the 1911 in its original caliber .45 ACP is a popular pistol in various sporting competitions.
