Baikal Drozd Blackbird BB Machine Gun Added to the Store

2 Comments

Why have just one Baikal Drozd when you can have two! So now I sell them both!

This is the latest edition to the Drozd BB Machine gun line - the Baikal Drozd Blackbird! This gun means business and is based on the standard Drozd but with a few extras to make this updated version even better. First off you get a motorized 400 round BB hopper (more like a 900 round hopper) and your choice of using either standard 12 gram or 88 gram CO2 cartridges. The Blackbird also has an updated stock and a higer and longer scope mount. This Russian made Full Auto BB Gun is capable of firing (in stock form) up to 600 rounds per minute and 6 round bursts. Keep in mind that modification chips for this BB shooter are easy to get and make it a 1200 round per minute true full auto shredder.

The Drozd Blackbird CO2 4.5mm BB air gun uses a very durable polymer and metal design and takes advantage of an electrically activated trigger for precise aim and consistency.

  • 4.5mm Steel BB's
  • 400 Round BB Hopper (more like 900 rounds)
  • CO2 Powered (either 12 gram or 88 gram cartridges)
  • Up to 499 fps

Cybergun IWI Jericho 941 Metal Slide CO2 BB Gun Review

15 Comments

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Cybergun.

Model:IWI Jericho 941.

Materials: Metal & polymer build.

Weight: 2 pounds.

Barrel: 4.62 inches, brass, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x1.

Action: Semi auto non-blowback, double action only.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 22 rounds

FPS: 443

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the IWI Jericho 941 was about medium to hard but defiantly not the worst air gun I have tested. After you quickly shoot off a full CO2 cartridge you may need a bit of a break to rest your trigger finger but the actual shooting experience is just fine.

Accuracy: Accuracy was pretty good for a double action shooter, I got around a 1.5 inch grouping from a 20 foot away free standing position, shooting just a hair to the left but a bit on the high side. It is a bit unfortunately that the Jericho 941 does not have sight elevation adjustments as it would make a very accurate airgun otherwise. I also put the Cybergun IWI Jericho 941 through my Chrony Chronograph and got very impressive FPS results, actually starting off and staying well above the claimed manufacturers FPS. My 8 shot average on a new CO2 was a very high 488 FPS, again well above Cybergun's claimed 443 FPS.

Build Quality: Very good, the Jericho 941 weights in at about 2 pounds which is a very hefty weight for a medium sized pistol. The build quality and fit and finish is good all around with decent usage of metal in the slide, magazine, outer barrel and trigger.

Realism: The Cybergun IWI Jericho 941 is very close to the look, weight, and feel of the real Israel Weapons Industries Jericho 941! Even though it doesn't have a working slide it definitely looks the part with the Licensed trade marks, cut out ejection port, full size drop out metal magazine and recessed metal barrel.

Available From: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • Very good weight and solid feeling gun.

  • Metal Slide and metal outer barrel.

  • All metal full size drop out magazine holds CO2 and BB's.

  • Very accurate IWI Jericho 941 replica with licensing and tradmarks.

  • Excellent FPS, well above claimed!

  • Lots of shots per CO2 - close to 100.

  • Good accuracy for a double action BB shooter.

  • Very affordable.

Cons:

  • Non-blowback and the slide is non-functioning.

  • The hammer is only for show and does not cock back for single action shots.

  • Non adjustable rear sights, a bit of a pity with this rather accurate pistol.

  • Trigger action is bit on the heavy side and gets a bit tiring after lots of shooting.

Comments:

I ordered my Cybergun IWI Jericho 941 with two other Cybergun pistols (The Sigarms GSR and Sig Sauer SP2022), all of them in the lower and more affordable price point, the Jericho 941 is definitely the hardest shooting out of the bunch. For a relatively inexpensive BB gun you get good value for your money, most importantly a very accurate reproduction of the real IWI Jericho 941 firearm! If you want to purchase an air pistol replica that's very hard hitting, accurate, get's lots of shots per CO2, has excellent weight and realism then the Jericho 941 may be the airgun for you?

Baikal (IZH) MP-655K CO2 Pellet and BB Gun Review

4 Comments

Type: Pellet & BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Baikal.

Model:MP-655K.

Materials: Weapons grade metal slide & polymer frame.

Weight: 1.5 pounds.

Barrel: 4.4 inches, metal-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, double and single action.

Ammunition Type: .177 caliber lead pellets & 4.5mm steel BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 8 rounds rotary pellet magazine & 100 round BB hopper.

FPS: 360.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the MP-655K is in the medium range with the single action being a bit lighter due to less cocking effort required. There is some force required to rotate the rotary magazines when shooting both pellets and BB's. It's important to make sure you use pellets that fit the rotary magazine correctly or they may move around and cause the magazine to bind up requiring additional trigger force.

Accuracy: I found the Baikal MP-655K to be a good shooter, this airgun took me some time to get used to however, so make sure to give it some time and also make sure to try an assortment of pellets as they do effect the trigger pull and the trigger pull ultimately effects accuracy. I did get about a 2 inch 8 shot grouping from an unrested 20 foot out position but I know this gun is capable of much better results. BB's also did fairly well in my test results. My Chronograph testing also confirmed that you can expect to get feet per second rating in-between 300 and 360 fps when using both pellets and BB's.

Build Quality: Excellent, like just about all the Baikal products, these guns are built to very high standards. the designs are sometimes unusual but you can count on the quality to be top notch and in most cases there is little to no difference between the materials used in Baikal's real guns and their air guns.

Realism: The Baikal IZH MP-655K is closely based on the real steel Baikal Viking 9mm semi auto pistol, or (Yarygin pistol) the latest Russian standard military-issue side arm. As far is looking and feeling like a real gun, it sure plays the part. Both the air gun version and 9mm version have steel slides and polymer frames.

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Very high quality materials.

  • Tuff looking gun, looks and feels more like a real gun then an airgun

  • Unique design, only 100 round BB pistol that I know of.

  • Easy to load BB's, just dump them in and shoot.

  • Can shoot Pellets and BB's.

  • Shoots both in single and double action.

  • Fully adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation.

  • Magazine is easy to load CO2, also has storage for extra BB's.

  • Good for lefties too, ambidextrous safety and magazine release.

  • Made in Russia!

Cons:

  • You wWill have to read manual and get used to this guns operation.

  • A bit hard to load the pellet magazine at first.

  • Trigger is kind of funny and a bit hard on fingers.

Comments:

The Baikal MP-655K Pellet and BB Air pistol is another excellent product from Baikal, it is an extremely unique air gun in that it shoots both pellets with an 8 shot rotary magazine but can also shoot up to 100 BB's with its integrated 100 round BB hopper and special adapted magnetized rotary BB magazine! The quality of this gun is outstanding and there are tons of great features like the rifled barrel, fully adjustable sights, single and double action trigger, moving slide with slide catch, weapons grade materials and of course the ability to shoot both pellets and BB's. You are going to need to take some extra time to fully understand how to best use this air gun but the extra effort is well worth it in the end!

Added the Umarex SA177 Blowback BB Pistol to the Store

6 Comments

After what seemed like an eternity, I finally caved in to popular demand and brought the very Glock-like Umarex SA177 Blowback BB Pistol to the Replica Airguns Store!

I stepped it up a notch and have included not just one but two magazines with every SA177 so you can practice your quick magazine changes and just keep on shooting :) After all, isn't that what you really want to do?

Here 's some more info on the SA177 from Umarex:

The Umarex SA177 BB Repeater is modeled after the popular Glock carry pistol widely used by governmental agencies, and it uses blowback action to simulate a real firearm. The metal slide and integrated accessory rail add to the overall realism of this gun. A drop-out metal magazine houses the CO2 and 19 BBs for the air pistol. The fiber optic sights and ergonomic grips allow for accurate and comfortable shooting at up to 400 fps velocity which is very high for a gun in this price range and with blowback functionality.

  • 4.5mm BB
  • CO2 Powered
  • 19 round metal magazine
  • 400 fps
  • 1.5 pounds
  • 4.1 inch steel non-rifled barrel
  • Double action
  • Blowback
  • Metal slide - polymer frame
  • Tactical Rail Mount
  • Fiber optic sights
  • Comes with two magazines

Cybergun Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms All Metal CO2 BB Gun Review

3 Comments

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Cybergun.

Model: GSR SIGARMS.

Materials: Mostly metal build.

Weight: 2.4 pounds.

Barrel: 5.2 inches, brass, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x1.

Action: Semi auto non-blowback, double action only.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 21 rounds

FPS: 397

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms was about medium to hard but I have definitely experienced heavier trigger pulls on some guns. It is nice that the trigger is in the style of a 1911 and not your typical lever styled trigger. This may be one reason why the pull is a bit heavier on the GSR.

Accuracy: Accuracy was decent but not outstanding, I got around a 2.5 inch grouping from a 20 foot away free standing position, shooting just to the left and high on the target. I did find that I was able to zone in a bit better with the Cybergun GSR as I got used to the trigger. I also put the Cybergun Sig Sauer GSR through my Chrony Chronograph and got very close the manufacturers 397 claimed feet per second, actually starting off well above it and settling down to around the 370 FPS mark. My 8 shot average on a new CO2 was actually 422 FPS.

Build Quality: Very good, this is an almost all metal gun with a few exceptions like the hammer, trigger. magazine release, slide catch and the outer barrel. Pretty much everything else is metal including the slide, frame, magazine, and even the grips. The finish is very good and the Cybergun GSR worked flawlessly for me.

Realism: The Cybergun Sig Sauer GSR is very close to the look, weight, and feel of the real GSR Sigarms! Even the 1911 style trigger was used and licensed trademarks on the slide. It would have been nice to have a single action trigger and a working slide to finish off the illusion but overall the GSR is a really nice copy of the real steel Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms firearm.

Available From: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • Excellent weight and very solid feeling gun.

  • Mostly Metal design.

  • Very Accurate Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms with licensing.

  • Nice high fps results close to manufacturers specifications.

  • Very affordable and good value for the money.

  • Lots of shots per CO2.

  • Nice sights with white dots front and back.

  • Magazine holds both the CO2 and BB's - always nice.

  • Recessed barrel for added realism.

  • True 1911 style trigger even though it is double action only.

Cons:

  • Non-blowback and the slide does not move either.

  • The hammer is only for show and does not cock for single action shots.

  • Non adjustable rear sights.

  • Trigger action is bit on the heavy side.

Comments:

I ordered my Cybergun Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms with two other Cybergun pistols (The Jericho 941 and Sig Sauer SP2022), all of them in the lower and more affordable price point, the GSR is the heaviest out of the bunch, most likely because of the metal frame. For a relatively inexpensive BB gun you get a lot for your money, most importantly a very accurate reproduction of the real GSR Sigarms firearm! If you're a 1911 fan and want to pick up an airgun that won't set you back too much, then the Cybergun GSR would make a great choice with it's heavy weight, full size drop out metal magazine, and true 1911 styled trigger.

Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Metal Slide CO2 BB Gun Review

1 Comment

Type: BB air pistol.
Manufacturer: Cybergun.
Model: Sig Sauer SP2022.
Materials: Metal and polymer build.
Weight: 1.7 pounds.
Barrel: 4 inches, brass, non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x1.
Action: Semi auto non-blowback, double action only.
Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.
Ammunition Capacity: 23 rounds
FPS: 328 (Tested way higher!)
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Sig Sauer SP2028 was much lighter then I expected! As the SP2022 is a double action only pistol, the trigger must first cock the hammer before the hammer can be released, usually requiring additional force. The trigger was a bit long but smooth and light.

Accuracy: Very decent for a low cost short barreled BB shooter, I got just over a 2 inch grouping from a 20 foot away free standing position, shooting just to the left and a bit high. I also put the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Metal Slide version through my Chrony Chronograph and even though the box has a 328 fps rating on it, I got an incredible 8 shot average velocity of 478 fps and no my Chronograph was not broken! I really don't know what to say abut this? Perhaps my gun was an exception or maybe I accidentally got the "powered Version" as one does exist from Cybegun with a higher 426 fps claimed velocity. Or maybe they are all just this way?
Build Quality: Very good, I was extremely pleased with the fit and finish of my Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro! The metal slide and polymer frame along with the all metal full size drop out magazine gave this air pistol a really nice balance and weight to it, I would expect it to be very similar to the real steel as they are both constructed similarly.

Realism: The Cybergun Sig Pro SP2022 is very close to the look, weight, and feel of the real Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro! For a lower cost airgun, I was very impressed with all the detail that it had including the licensing and trademarks throughout the pistol and amazing attention to detail.
Available From: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • Good weight and very solid feeling gun.
  • Metal slide and all metal full size drop out magazine.
  • Very Accurate licensed Sig Sauer SP2022 replica.
  • Crazy high fps results!
  • Very affordable.
  • Fairly light double action trigger.
  • Magazine holds both the CO2 and BB's - always nice.
  • Recessed barrel for added realism.
  • Good overall accuracy and shots per CO2.

Cons:

  • Non-blowback and the slide does not move either.
  • The hammer is only for show and does not move when firing.
  • Non adjustable rear sights.

Comments:
I ordered my Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro with two other Cybergun pistols (The Jericho 941 and Sigarms GSR), all of them in the lower and more affordable price point, out of all three of them so far I am really liking the SP2022 for a lot of reasons: It just looks really good, it has good weight and feel, for an air pistol in this price range to have a metal slide and full metal drop out magazine is also a welcome change. But most of all mine shot so much harder then expected that I was almost afraid to publish my test results! Even if it shot closer to the claimed fps this gun is well worth it and I would still be very happy and quick to recommend the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro.

2 Comments

I wanted to give you a quick preview of some very nice yet inexpensive Cybergun - KWC BB guns I received today, and I am happy to say I'm also selling them in the Replica Airguns Store.

The Cybergun Air Pistols are the Sig Sauer SP2022, the Jericho 941, and the Sigarms GSR. All of which have metal slides, full size all metal drop out magazines and corresponding licensing and trademarks. Make sure to scroll down to the bottom of this preview where you will find my YouTube video Preview for these Cybergun Air Pistols.

First off is the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022:

This BB shooting Sig Sauer SP2022 is a metal and polymer gun with a metal slide and polymer frame just like the real steel it is licensed under. The full size drop out all metal magazine holds the 23 BB's and CO2. The Sig Sauer SP2022 shoots 4.5mm steel BB's, has a rated velocity of 328 fps, weighs in at 1.7 pounds, has a double action only trigger and is just over 7 inches long. The SP2022 is probably my favorite gun out of all of them so far!

2nd we have the Cybergun IWI Jericho 941:

The Jericho 941 is a replica of the Baby Desert Eagle and is the most powerful out of the group with a claimed velocity of 443 fps. The Jericho 941 also has a full metal slide, metal outer barrel, and full size metal drop out magazine that holds 22 4.5mm steel BB's and the CO2. The Jericho 941 weighs in at a hefty 2 pounds and is over 8 inches long with a double action only trigger. It also is claimed to get more than 200 shots out of a single CO2 cartridge!

Lastly we have the Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms:

By far the heaviest gun out of the trio, the GSR comes in at 2.4 pounds and is made almost entirely out of metal, even including the grips so if your looking for a gun that feels the part this is the one for you. The Sig Sauer GSR also has the full size drop out metal magazine like the rest of them and can hold 21 4.5mm steel BB's along with the CO2 in it. You can expect to get close to 400 fps and the 1911 styled GSR even has a true 1911 styled trigger, although it is double action only.

All three of these Cybergun - KWC value priced air pistols are available at the Replica Airguns Store so make sure to drop in and get yours today!

Baikal Drozd Classic IZH MP-661K BB Machine Gun Review

4 Comments

Type: BB Machine gun.

Manufacturer:Baikal.

Model:IZH MP-661K.

Materials: Metal & Polymer.

Weight: 3.5 pounds.

Barrel: 8 inches, metal-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 or (Bulk air with adaptor).

Action: Electronic trigger with 1-3-6 round burst & 300-340-600 Rounds Per Minute.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 30 rounds.

FPS: 360-500.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the IZH Drozd is nice and light due to the fact that the trigger is not mechanical but is instead an electronic on-off switch that operates a solenoid. The solenoid pulsates in turn hitting the CO2 valve release. This is how the single fire and burst fire rates are achieved.

Accuracy: When I was sighting the Baikal Drozd in I got several 5 shot groups well within 1 inch 30 feet out from the target. But when I did my actual video accuracy test, the Drozd did not perform as well, getting more like a 2 inch group, still very reasonable for a gun that can shoot 600 rounds per minute out of the box and 1200 rounds per minute when modified. With metal streaming out the barrel like that you are pretty much going to hit what ever you point it at, the odds are in your favor!

Build Quality: This is a typical Russian made gun, all business and less importance put on looks but even so it is visually appealing, at least to me! Everything works exactly as it should and even though the main shell is plastic it is really a weapons grade polymer so there is no cause for concern here. There are a fair amount of metal components like the factory barrel, most of the magazine and many internal parts.

Realism: Again, the Baikal Drozd IZH MP-661K is not a replica, but it does look like a sub machine gun in many ways, I'm really just not sure exactly what it looks like but when you are shooting this gun you really don't think much about this point because you are too busy grinning!

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Very well made BB machine gun.

  • Excellent power.

  • Good accuracy in all shooting modes.

  • Uses the 12 gram CO2 - a bit cheaper! (Can also convert to bulk air)

  • Stock version can shoot up to 600 rounds per minute.

  • Multiple stock lengths.

  • Rifled barrel.

  • Adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation.

  • Removable magazine hold BB's and CO2.

  • Many mods for this gun.

  • Great for pest control, especially the ones that don't stay still.

  • Made in Russia.

Cons:

  • 12 Gram CO2 - you need to change it often!

  • Top Accessory rail is a bit short and low.

  • Rear stock can get lose sometimes (just add some tape to tighten it up a bit).

The Baikal IZH MP-661K is one of the most fun BB machine guns out there and well worth the extra cost to get such a quality product that not only is great out of the box but can also be modified in so many ways to improve it's performance and looks dramatically. Sure the Baikal IZH MP-661K now has a big brother, the Drozd Blackbird, but the Blackbird may be just a bit of overkill for some, I kind of like the Drozd Classics more compact size and if you can't nail what your shooting at with 30 rounds then your doing something very wrong! The Drozd is really the epitome of extreme BB gun weaponry!

Crosman 1377 American Classic .177 Pellet Pistol Review

3 Comments

Type: Pellet Air Pistol.

Manufacturer: Crosman.

Model: 1377 American Classic.

Materials: Metal & plastic.

Weight: 2 pounds.

Barrel: 10.25 inches, metal rifled.

Propulsion: Multi-pump pneumatic.

Action: Bolt-action single shot, single action only.

Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellet.

Ammunition Capacity: 1 round.

FPS: 495.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman 1377 American Classic is non-adjustable but is short and light with virtually no creep at all, it's just right there! It makes for very accurate shot placement.

Accuracy: I found the Crosman 1377 to be an amazing target pistol, getting about a 1/2 inch grouping from 30 feet out in a semi-rested position. And I performed my accuracy test twice with the same result each time. I also put the America Classic through the Chrony Chronograph test using increasingly more pumps each time and got it up into the 460+ fps range with 15 pumps using 6.9 grain RWS lead pellets. Keep in mind this is the Canadianized version that has been release valve limited to under 500 fps, so over-pumping should not hurt this gun too much, but either way do so at your own risk as Crosman says it's a 10 pump gun...

Build Quality: The Crosman 1377 American Classic is not a fancy looking gun but it gets the job done with a mostly metal design and build. Remember this gun has been around for 40 years and has pretty much stayed the same so Crosman must be doing something right with it.

Realism: The Crosman 1377 pellet pistol is not a replica, it is a target airgun, so it looks like a target air pistol and for that we'll give it high marks ;)

Available at: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Very inexpensive target pistol at $59.

  • Amazing accuracy!

  • Ability to regulate power with the amount of pumps.

  • Mostly metal construction.

  • Rifled barrel.

  • Adjustable sights for windage and elevation.

  • Light and short single action trigger.

  • Would be good for small pest control because of its decent FPS and excellent accuracy for precise shot placement ability.

  • Lots of mods and upgrades available for this gun!

  • It has been around for 40 years!

Cons:

  • Trigger is a bit thin (but can be upgraded)

  • Sights are fully adjustable but a bit hard to adjust.

Comments:

The Crosman 1377 America Classic .177 caliber pellet pistol is a must have target air pistol, even though I own the much more full featured (and pricey!) Webley Alecto .22 caliber multi-pump pneumatic target air pistol, the Crosman 1377 is still great to own and shoot. I think one day I will pass my 1377 down to my son when he is ready to learn the art of accurate pistol target shooting. The fact that you can head out for the day with the 1377 America Classic in one hand and a tin of .177 caliber pellets in the other and shoot till you can't shoot any more, with no CO2 required makes it very inviting - and pretty much everything you point it at will get nocked down or nailed dead on.

Cybergun Sig Sauer X-Five P226 Open CO2 BB Pistol Review

41 Comments

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Cybergun.

Model:Sig Sauer X-Five P226 Open.

Materials: 99% all metal build.

Weight: 2.86 pounds.

Barrel: 4.4 inches, brass, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x1.

Action: Semi auto blowback, double and single action.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 18 rounds

FPS: 330

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Sig Sauer X-Five is what you would expect from a real automatic pistol, in single action mode it is very light and short. The blowback action re-cocks the hammer with each shot.

Accuracy: Excellent for a BB shooter, I got about a 1 inch grouping from a 20 foot away free standing position with this red dot equipped BB shooter. I also put the Cybergun Sig Sauer P226 Open version through my Chrony Chronograph and even though the box has a 300 FPS rating on it I, I was able to get an 8 shot average of 343 FPS.

Build Quality: Excellent, with an almost all metal construction, this gun has some weight to it and the craftsmanship is also very good!

Realism: The Cybergun Sig Sauer X-Five P226 is as close as you can come to the look, weight, feel, and action of the real Sig Sauer X-Five. P226! Everything about this gun makes it feel real, it would make an excellent training gun for someone just getting started in the sport or even for a skilled semi auto shooter wanting to hone their skills when a gun range is not easily accessible.

Available From: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • All metal construction - Extremely good weight and solid feeling gun. As real as you can get in an airgun.

  • Heavy blowback action adds to the realism.

  • Very Accurate Sig Sauer replica.

  • Really good accuracy for a BB gun (Red Dot helps),

  • Awesome training gun.

  • Both SA & DA with excellent pull, very smooth and light. 

  • Field strips just like the real Sig Sauer X-Five P226.

  • Mine came in with much higher FPS then claimed.

  • Carries Sig Sauer licensed trademarks.

  • For only $10 more you get the sight rail, compensator and rear adjustable sight.

Cons:

  • Sacrifice some fps and shots per CO2 because of the heavy blowback but worth it.

  • A bit hard to load up.

  • Can not field strip without taking off the sight rail?

Comments:

This Cybergun BB air pistol is styled after many modern blowback Airsoft pistols, this means it functions very similarly to the real steel. It is a very hefty gun made almost entirely from metal and has a very snappy blowback action which adds to its shooting realism. Even the magazine looks and feels like a real 9mm magazine with similar weight and dimensions. The Cybergun Sig Sauer X-Five Open version shoots even more accurately than the non-sight rail version because of the addition of a Red Dot scope helping the accuracy! Both the regular version of teh Sig Sauer X-Five P226 and this "Open" version are absolutely great air pistols but for the extra $10 price tag you get some really nice additions to this pistol including an adjustable rear sight.

Crosman PRO77 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol Review

5 Comments

Type: BB Air Pistol.

Manufacturer:Crosman.

Model:PRO77.

Materials: Metal & plasctic.

Weight: 1.3 pounds.

Barrel: 4.1 inches, metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x1 (12 gram).

Action: Semi auto single action only.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 17 rounds.

FPS: 325.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman PRO77 is good and light as it should be for a single action only airgun. I did find it to be a bit creepy when the magazine is loaded but on an unloaded magazine it is smooth as silk. There must be something going on with the chambering of BB's.

Accuracy: I found the Crosman PRO77 to be a decent shooter, getting about a 2 inch grouping from 20 feet out standing in a free standing position. After my test grouping I shot another 2 magazines into the target in a more rushed shooting style and the pattern did not grow much larger than the original 2 inches. I also put 8 rounds through my Chrony Chronograph and the PRO77 averaged a respectable 285 fps, not too far off of the factory claim of 325 fps and keep in mind it was not a very warm day for the testing.

Build Quality: The Crosman PRO77 looks and feels overall like a pretty well made airgun. The slide, trigger, hammer, slide release, CO2 screw and safety are all made out of metal. The only part that could use an upgrade would be the all plastic magazine, it would have been nice to have a metal magazine for durability and a bit extra weight in the gun. The fit and paint looked good and did not show any signs of wear problems in the high point areas.

Realism: The Crosman PRO77 is not a Replica gun so to speak but it does look a bit like a combination of perhaps a Sig Sauer, Steyr M9 and maybe even a little Walther P series thrown in to the pot? Crosman seems to keep well away from licensing guns for the most part. Maybe they figure they can put more money into the product and less money into other companies accounts?

Available in the:Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Inexpensive blowback gun.

  • Good usage of metal parts. (Metal slide, trigger, hammer, slide release and safety)

  • True single action trigger with working hammer.

  • Nice combination of FPS and accuracy.

  • Reasonable accuracy even when shooting fast.

  • Has an accessory rail for a laser or Tac light.

  • CO2 and CO2 tab are nicely hidden.

Cons:

  • A bit low on fps compared to some other blowback guns.

  • Ejection port is not cut out but molded into the slide.

  • Magazine could have been made out of metal and not all plastic.

  • Non-adjustable sights, kind of normal in this category.

Comments:

The Crosman PRO77 I believe is Crosman's first modern blowback operated air pistol and they did a pretty good job with it getting most things right like a true single action trigger and working hammer, a discreet CO2 system, lots of metal parts where they really need to be and an overall good performer. Sure there is room for some improvement but as a first attempt it's a nice gun and not one that's going to set you back to much money either. I am looking forward to Crosman's upcoming blowback air pistol, the C51 that should be out in a month or two...
