    Tuning Umarex Colt 1911 Airgun

    The stock gun came with plastic grips, so I bought the optional wood grips, then installed them. They all were smooth sided, and shiny - I prefer grips that will lock into my hands.

    I have the Umarex Colt 1911 Pellet gun. The grip safety spring is too powerful, making it difficult to keep the grip safety pushed in. Can I reduce this spring pressure somehow, or do I need to disassemble the gun, and perhaps cut one coil off the spring? (Where can I find a manual showing...
