Dan Wesson fps lowering

[Jeffthedemelo]

Hey all I'm look at getting a relovler but ones like the dan Wesson or a g7 but both shoot between 400-499 fps or more from what I hear is there a way to lower these to 350 ish so I can game with one? Any info would be nice thank you

I've seen some guys lower it below 400' by cutting the piece in the back of the handle down shorter. I don't know if that covers all models, but there may be a tutorial on YouTube.

Get the low power shells. It bring the FPS down the 350 range without any modifications.
They are basically the same with a smaller hole through so less CO2 reaches the BB.

Or you can modify the spring carrier/spacer, but too much and the gun does not fire. And you need to remove a lot to lower the FPS sub-380...

My 8" Skeleton (Dan Wesson) now sports the spring carrier mod. It's variable between 350 and full on fps. It was a little funky to get it just right, but certainly is possible. I also kept the original spring block and spring intact so that if I ever want to revert back to stock, no problem. There is actually no modification to the chassis of the pistol. I removed a cross section from the spring block then added a screw adjust to the bottom so I can vary the fps taking into account our wildly varying temperatures here.

The mods on YouTube are good enough to get an idea of how to do it..mine is a variation of that. Our field limit here for pistols is 420 fps, and mine sits at 386fps with .2's. I run .3's as a BB weight and it works just fine.
