So no retailers still sell them?

I'm sure retailers will still order them for you, it just seems noone keeps springers in stock anymore.

They are more or less a "collectors" item nowadays, tho theres many of us who do game with them, when we do.

Another fact also with springers, retailers can't really mark them up big time like higher priced items.

When people are airsofting, most people want to be able to FIRE RAPIDLY, many think springers are just cheap shit, but it's great when ya get a kill with one.

What the hell, springers can lock back with a working hammer? I never knew about this..
That's awesome!


Colt 1911, full metal?

1911 operates just like a single actions (except for having to manually cock the gun, but oh well thats what you pay.

Here is a quick video of the 1911, showing single action.


Now a video of the Bertta 92 for comparison.


Yes hammers are fully functional (To hold the slides open I stuck a pen up the magazine well and held them open for the pictures hehe.) I am yet to see a springer with a functional slide catch.

Oh BTW, no it is not FULL METAL, but I'm god damn sure I can get a metal slide/frame/ect and fit everything to it to create a FMU springer.

I have a dremel and LOTS of time on my hands to think about things on the night shift.

on most TM springers you can diddle with the safety to make it a slide catch

KWC P99 springers had working slide catches.... wish mine hadn't exploded, great springer.
