Hey fellas, sorry to necro an old thread, but I have a Tanfoglio 1911 in the mail, and had a few questions, (and they might be ridiculous questions, I'm not sure);
-The last time I had a co2 gun, it was the crosman UZI (late 80's)...once you put the 12g co2 in....you had to shoot what you could before it was gone....(and this was often a matter of seconds)....
I notice the 1911 mag comes out for reload....when I take the mag out, do I lose co2, or is there a valve, or a friggin' stopcock or something?...am I fighting "gas loss" while I put more BB's in?
Long story short, once I've shot 18 BB's, and take the mag out to reload, do I change the co2 as well?
-Is there any vendor that sells extra mags for a reasonable price?
-And to the OP, Mantis, are you still enjoying your 1911?
Cheers,

The mag holds air no problem, I found with the some CO2 guns that house the powerlet in the mag that can be taken out like the TW1911, leaving the mag in the pistol, just the weight of the hammer on the valve is enough to let the CO2 slowly (2 days in my H&K USP) leak out. So I always left the mags out of my guns out and no CO2 gets out. My 3 mags are all in the hard case with the pistols and they are all full of air after about 4 months now. You fire a mag, put it away, fire another mag the next week, put it away and you'll have plenty for other shot in 2 months.
Mike at replica airguns has the mags, so do airgun source and probably every where else the pistols are sold, around the 40$ each. PyramydAir has them for 10$ less if you know someone in the US that could receive them for you
If you have anything else you want to know, don't be afraid to ask. I love that pistol (and the GSG92, SIG Sauer P226 cousins).
Have a look at parts available for the 1911 firearm and many of them should fit (springs, spring housing, safety and mag release switches, hammer, trigger, grips etc).
