Umarex Colt Commander .177 bb blowback air pistol trigger issue

[Bro4Life]

Hi all,

My question is in regards to my Umarex Colt Commander .177 bb blowback air pistol trigger. It is supposed to be single action; however, when i pull the trigger, it gets "stuck", and then requires a second pull to fire. It's warranty is expired. Anyone know the issue and how to fix it?

I also have an Umerex Colt Commander and its been a great shooter but when I got it it seemed very dry. Their was no oil on the parts and that was causing the slide to lock back prematurely. After a good oiling the problem went away. I've heard others talk about these guns not being properly oiled as well.

Break the pistol down and oil the area that is sticking. Also oil the rails on the slide and frame in other words any moving parts. I hope this helped.

Thank you, it most definately did! I was thinking of making wood grips using my bandsaw; similar to yours!

Your welcome. I'm glad it did.

Thanks for the compliment on my grips but I have to confess they are not wood. They are the original plastic grips that came with the pistol. I just used brown spray paint on them. I used flat white as a base coat first.

"real" 1911 grips fit with some modification (they need to be relieved on the backside a bit to allow room for the co2 cartridge. It's really easy with a dremel or even a sharp chisel. Some brands of grips already come with some relief to improve fit on a 1911, but I don't recall which. I've got a nice set of cocbolo on mine

Rosewood etc. can be had for about $50.00 on eBay. Walnut is less.
