• Uses 12 gram CO2
• 4.5mm steel BB's
• 427 fps
• Double action
• 8 rounds

I don't have too much in the way of specification for the Umarex S&W 327 TRR8 but I can say it pretty much looks like an ASG Dan Wesson that has been re-skinned! Something I found a bit funny with this gun si that it is supposed to be a TRR8 replica, and the real S&W 327 TRR8 is an 8 shooter and the Umarex copy is a 6 shooter! Maybe they though nobody would notice?

• Uses 12 gram CO2
• 4.5mm steel BB's

• Single & double action
• 6 rounds

I'm not sure which of these we will get in North America but there are some nice new Umarex products coming out in the next few months. 

Some of the 4.5mm BB Pistols featured:

• Beretta 90two 4.5mm BB
• Race Gun 4.5mm BB (Blowback)
• Smith & Wesson 327 TRR8 4.5mm BB
• Smith & Wesson M&P 45

I'll will post some pictures and more info on some of these guns shortly...

Here are a couple videos featuring some of these new products from Umarex:

A few more Store product updates... I just added the Umarex Beretta PX4 Storm to go along with the PX4 Storm Recon we have in our Replica Airguns Store.

The Beretta Px4 Storm Recon air pistol is not only a BB gun, but a pellet gun as well. It will shoot either projectile from its revolutionary dual-ended magazine. This 16-shot repeater will have you shooting as fast as you can pull the trigger. There's an 8-shot rotary clip on one end of the stick mag, and another one at the other end. Since it shoots BBs or pellets, you'll have more flexibility with ammo choice.

A 12-gram CO2 is easily loaded into the grip and gives you plenty of shots before you need a refill. There's even an accessory rail under the barrel. Like the handgun, it has real blowback action, it really kicks, giving you a feeling of power that most airguns only hope to achieve! Once you start shooting, you won't want to stop, so get lots of RWS pellets, BBs and Walther CO2.

• .177 Pellet & 4.5mm BB
• CO2 Powered
• 16 round magazine (8 on each end)
• 380 fps
• 1.6 pounds
• 4.5 inch steel rifled barrel
• Single and double action
• Blowback
• Metal slide - polymer frame
• Tactical Rail Mount

I just added the excellently priced and well made Umarex HPP Blowback BB Pistol to the Replica Airguns Store.

The Umarex High Power Pistol (HPP) BB Repeater pistol has a 15-shot drop-out magazine for quick reloading. The 410 fps velocity is quite high for the class of pistol. The crisp blowback action simulates a real firearm. The heavyweight construction of the pistol and integrated accessory rail give it the look and feel of realism. A housed CO2 cartridge in the pistol grip provides the power for the this Sig Sauer looking heavy duty gun.

• 4.5mm BB
• CO2 Powered
• 15 round magazine
• 410 fps
• 1.8 pounds
• 3.6 inch steel non-rifled barrel
• Double action
• Blowback
• Metal slide - metal frame

I added the Cybergun Sig Sauer P226 X Five P226 with Sight Rail & Compensator to the Replica Airguns Store, only $10 more and you get the Sight Rail and Compensator along with an adjustable rear sight. What a Deal!

The Cybergun Sig Sauer P226 X Five is a CO2 powered 4.5mm all metal BB pistol. This detailed BB shooter is a replica of the real Sig Sauer P226 X Five and features a full size drop out metal magazine that holds both the 4.5mm BB's and the CO2 cartridge. It features a working slide with realistic blowback operation and can be fully field stripped just like the actual sidearm.

Your choice of standard or Sight Rail and Compensator version - click appropriate option.

• EKOL ES 55 CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW

Another airgun I have been really curious about the actual fps, is the EKOL ES 55. It's one of my only BB pistols that can shoot clean though a soup can. Some of the other BB shooter almost make it but just not quite, even with ratings as high as 480 fps!

The EKOL ES 55 is an overall really nice BB gun with a heavy duty all metal build and it even sports a rifled barrel, another feature not often found in BB shooters.

<!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-9036472715040282"; /* Replica Airguns Content */ google_ad_slot = "1487049688"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 15; //-->

Now that I have my Chrony chronograph, I am able to actually test these guns and find out their true feet per second ratings and from what I'm seeing, most of the guns come in under their rated fps. My EKOL ES 55 actually did pretty well, the manual claims 120 M/S which translates to 396 fps but interestingly, they actually claimed 360 fps?

So I really needed to get to the bottom of it! I took 15 shots (a full magazine) with the EKOL ES 55 with a few seconds gap between each shot and the gun stayed pretty consistently right around the 420 fps mark. Not bad at all and actually above the claimed feet per second rating!

So if your looking for a good quality BB pistol with 400+ fps, look no further then the EKOL ES 55!

Watch my Vimeo video putting my EKOL ES 55 through the full Chronograph test:

Buy this gun in Canada

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:Crosman.

Model:1088S.

Materials: Mostly plastic.

Weight: 1.1 pounds.

Barrel: 3.8 inches, metal rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, double and single action.

Ammunition Type: .177 cal. pellets - 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 8 round rotary magazine.

FPS: 430.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman 1088 is pretty good in both single and double action modes, obviously a bit lighter in single action then when in double action. When I was using single action mode, I found the gun would accidentally de-cock its self if I was too tentative right at the break point, I did get used to the break point and was able to shoot in single action mode very effectively with just a bit of practice.

Accuracy: I shot the Crosman 1088 air gun at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and it performed well getting a 1.25 inch grouping right close to the center of the target while using .177 pellets. The rear sight is adjustable for windage which is nice in an entry level pellet gun, the rifled barrel definitely helped this pistol to shoot while using pellets, when using BB's it may not be as accurate.

Build Quality: The 1088 is not going to win any wards for quality of build as it's pretty much an all plastic gun, but Crosman did use metal where it counts the most, in the rifled barrel, the hammer and the CO2 screw and tab (of course there are some metal internal parts).

Realism: The Crosman 1088 is not an actual replica gun, but it does closely resemble the Ruger P345 (.45 Auto). The 1088 does not have any of the Ruger's trademarks or licensing but it does share the basic shape and design of the Ruger P345.

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• The price is right!

• It has a rifled barrel.

• Can shoot both pellets and BB's.

• Has an adjustable rear sight for windage.

• Has good accuracy and decent power.

• CO2 screw and tab are hidden in the handle.

• Is both a single and double action shooter.

• Has a modern look with an under barrel accessory rail.

• Made in the US.

Cons:

• This gun is almost all plastic.

• Trigger in single action mode can sometime de-cock the gun when slowly activating the trigger.

Comments:

There is no doubt that if this pellet shooter had more metal, it would appeal to a lot more people and would probably fetch a lot more money! That said, the plastic does not actually take away from the shooting experience and if you can get your mind around the plastic build quality, you will find this is a great little diverse pellet pistol with many excellent features like a rifled barrel, single and double action mode, ability to shoot pellets and BB's all with an adjustable rear sight.

• UMAREX COLT SPECIAL COMBAT CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW

• ASG CZ 75 P-07 DUTY BLOWBACK CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW

Type: BB air Revolvers.

Manufacturer: ASG.

Model:Dan Wesson 6 and 8 inch.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: 2.25 - 2.3 pounds.

Barrel: Metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Revolver, single and double action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 6 rounds.

FPS: 426.

Trigger Pull: The ASG Dan Wesson Revolvers have predictable trigers with the single action being a bit more consistent, not just in feel but in fps also. Double action mode is very usable without a lot of extra pressure required. I found I just wanted to shoot this gun in single action mode because it felt more natural with a six shooter.

Accuracy: I shot the pair of Dan Wesson Revolvers  at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and they performed well getting a 1.5 to 2 inch grouping just to the left of the target. The sights are adjustable for elevation and windage so getting these guns centered on the bullseye would be very easy. My Chrony testing with a six shot averaged result was 395 fps for the six inch and 447 fps for the 8 inch Dan Wesson.

Build Quality: These fine revolvers are extremely well built, I am beginning to think just about any product from ASG would not disappoint me, after reviewing the Dan Wesson's and CZ 75 P-07 DUTY. The Dan Wesson BB revolvers are almost all metal with just a few components made out of plastic, like the handles and CO2 screw tab. The handles feel like a cross between plastic and rubber. The finish on the six inch silver Dan Wesson is amazing and looks just like polished stainless steel. The black eight inch version has an almost metallic speckled finish without the shininess.

Realism: The ASG Dan Wesson BB revolvers are as close as you can get to a real six shooter, ASG didn't leave any detail out and thought of a few I may have never even dreamt up! Loading and ejecting actual brass shells into the cylinder makes you feel like this gun is much more then an unassuming airgun!

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• It's a revolver with actual brass shells giving you the feeling of a real 6 shooter!

• Almost all metal design.

• lots of detail in this gun, very well made, fit and finish is excellent.

• Good power and good accuracy.

• Fully adjustable sights.

• If I could have dreamt up this gun I don't think I could have done as good a job!

Cons:

• Very hard to get this gun in North America.

• Plastic CO2 screw tab.

• Only shoots BB's, would have been cool to shoot pellets too.

Comments:

I'm not really a revolver person, or should I say I wasn't really a revolver person, well until I got my Dan Wessons! I felt this way because most of the air gun revolvers available look just like that - they look like air guns! The Dan Wesson BB revolvers showed me that an air gun revolver can be just as cool as any of my very realistic automatic air pistols in my collection. And if you where already a revolver fan then the Dan Wesson CO2 BB revolvers are definitely for you.

This post is for any of you lucky North American Baikal Makarov owners out there, or for anyone thinking of getting a Baikal Makarov MP-654k.

We had some custom CO2 screws made up that fit the Baikal Makarov's BB-CO2 magazine perfectly and make the Makarov replica look virtually identical to the real steel. It's kind of a shame the Baikal Makarov didn't come this way from the factory but at least now you have the option of improving on an already great product.

Today, my ASG CZ 75 P-07 DUTY and Dan Wesson 6 and 8 inch Revolvers arrived along with an Umarex Colt Special Combat. This is kind of a big deal because all of these guns virtually don't exist here in North America. I have been wanting these guns for some time but until now, I had no way to get them! I guess the best part of having a web-store is I have a say in what we are going to carry. And lucky for me I have a really resourceful product manager who was able to locate and import these fine guns not only for myself but also for anyone else here in North America wanting to place an order for one in our Replica Airguns Store.

Let's take a quick look - I won't get too detailed as I will be doing dedicated reviews for all of these guns shortly...

The ASG Dan Wesson's:  6 inch Silver and 8 inch Black

Right off the bat, both of these guns are just flawless. Their finish and quality control is top notch. They have a good solid weight to them and all the moving parts feel tight and responsive. They offer both double and single action and come with a speed loader and six brass shells where the 4.5mm BB's are located. You also have the option of using the included accessory rail for mounting a scope or Red Dot sight.

ASG CZ 75 P-07 DUTY

Again I was really impressed with the quality of this blowback 4.5mm BB shooter! Even though the CZ 75 P-07 DUTY has a polymer frame it has good weight to it, probably because of the metal slide and good usage of metal in other areas like its drop out 20 round metal magazine and metal even in the CO2 door. There is amazing detail and realism all over this gun, it even has the original 9x19 markings on the slide and ejection port, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between this air gun version and the real steel without a very close inspection!

Umarex Colt Special Combat

OK, so the Colt Special Combat isn't a blowback BB pistol! Once you pick it up and take a close look at all the work that went into this gun, you will soon forget all about the blowback. The tradeoff here is more power and usable shots along with features like an all metal design, a working slide, a full size drop free metal magazine, adjustable sights and both a single and double action trigger. Having a classic 1911 that is as nice as this one in my airgun collection is a real treat!

• UMAREX H&K USP CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW

• UMAREX COLT DEFENDER CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:Umarex.

Model:Smith & Wesosn M&P.

Materials: Mostly plastic construction with a few metal parts.

Weight: 1 pound.

Barrel: 4.25 inches, metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, double action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 19 round magazine.

FPS: 480.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on this gun is medium weight and a bit long, the break point is a bit hard to predict but once you get used to it being on the long side it shoots pretty good.

Accuracy: This was my second time shooting the S&W M&P at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and this time it performed not as good as the as the first time i shot it - or should I say maybe I didn't perform as well as the first time shooting? Either way, this gun is capable of shooting a 1 inch group from about 20 feet away.

Build Quality: The Smith & Wesson M&P is built about as cheaply as they come with an almost all plastic construction, even the plastic is kind of cheap looking when compared to another mostly plastic air gun like the H&K USP which looks much nicer even though it too uses a lot plastic in its build materials. With that said, the S&W M&P seemed to function just fine.

Realism: The Umarex S&W M&P is a licensed replica of the real Smith & Wesson M&P 40 pistol. It is a very close looking copy with teh exception of it being mostly plastic and lighter in weight.

Purchased this gun from: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Good accuracy and power combination.

• All metal drop out magazine.

• Good replica in terms of accuracy compared to there real S&W M&P 40.

• Would make a great gun prop for TV or Movie.

• Inexpensive to own and shoot.

Cons:

• All plastic except for magazine.

• Light weight makes it feel cheap.

• Plastic is very shiny, a more matt finish would have looked better and more realistic.

• I don't like the screw holes - a dead giveaway.

Comments:

This is another low cost replica air gun from Umarex designed for the more entry level buyer. I wasn't a big fan of the Umarex S&W M&P even before I bought, I purchased it mainly for the comparison review. I have to say the S&W M&P has grown on me soemhwat after shooting and reviewing it, as it does shot well and has great sights on it. I like the fact that the S&W M&P is very true to the original pistol in appearance which as I mentioned before makes it a great candidate as a low cost prop gun for TV and Movie sets.

• EKOL ES 55 CO2 BB PISTOL CHRONY CHRONOGRAPH TEST

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:EKOL.

Model:ES 55.

Materials: All metal construction.

Weight: 2.25 pounds.

Barrel: Metal rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, single & double action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 15+1 round magazine.

FPS: 396.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on this gun is fairly heavy in double action mode as the hammer spring is firm. In Single action mode the trigger pull lightened up a lot and allows for respective target shooting.

Accuracy: I conducted my test shooting from a target 20 feet away in a free standing position. The EKOL ES 55 gave me a respective 2 inch grouping. I think with practice, I could get this easily down to a 1 to 1.5 inch group as I was not initial comfortable shooting this gun. After shooting it for a while I did become used to the characteristics of the ES 55.

Build Quality: The EKOL ES 55 comes from a company primarily making blank guns. EKOL makes this gun directly from a similar model (The EKOL Sava) that shoots blanks so in many ways the ES 55 is designed more like a real gun than an air gun. The EKOL ES 55 is all metal with rubber grips and feels fantastic in the hand. There are really no plastic parts to speak of and I could not find any quality concerns on this gun at all! The gloss black painted finish is flawless on this gun!

Realism: The EKOL ES 55 is not a replica of any one gun so to speak, it looks a bit like a bunch of guns: maybe the closest one being the Glock? It does have characteristics from other guns but in terms of does this look like a real gun? Yes very much so, and when you hold it in your hand, you will find it hard to believe its an airgun.

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• Very solid all metal construction!

• Good accuracy and excellent power combination.

• Full size metal drop out magazine.

• Nice rubber grips.

• Single and double action.

• Moveable slide.

• Rifled barrel

• Designed more like a real gun than an air gun.

Cons:

• Ejection port is moulded into the gun.

• Sights a bit hard to see on dark backgrounds.

• Slide does not move when magazine loaded into gun.

• Slide release is non functioning.

Comments:

This is my first ever air gun from EKOL, I have been very happy with their blank guns so it does not surprise me that their CO2 BB guns are just as nice. The EKOL ES 55 is a well built very solid CO2 BB shooter and has excellent velocity and respectable accuracy from its rifled barrel. I found the gloss black finish to be very good on the ES 55. That combined with the rubberized grips makes this BB pistol a very attractive air gun. The EKOL ES 55 isn't the least expensive BB pistol on the block but it won't break the bank either and at the end of the day you get really good value for a gun you will hopefully own a lifetime.

UPDATE - Feb. 22nd: Added a YouTube video to this post.

Back on January 30th I made a post about the Replica Airguns Store getting some new EKOL Blank Guns and Airguns. We'll I just got my review shipment of them in today and had some fun looking them all over. I don't plan on keeping all of them, but I will most certainly keep a few for my personal inventory!

Let's take a closer look at some of these fine EKOL blank guns and air guns:

EKOL ASI - $269US(Order-now)

The EKOL ASI is a very nice semi auto and full auto front firing 9mm P.A.K blank machine gun. This well built blank shooter comes with a 15 round and 25 round magazine and has selectable semi or full auto firing modes. This blank machine-gun is destined for my collection...

EKOL FIRAT - $139US (Order-now)

You may remember my reviews on the EKOL Jackal Dual? This is it's little brother in the compact version and with semi auto only. Other than that it's the same exact 15 round 9mm P.A.K. blank gun!

EKOL SPECIAL 99 - $119US (Order-now)

The EKOL Special 99 is a mid-sized Beretta styled blank shooter that comes with a single stack 8 round 9mm P.A.K. magazine. I was instantly impressed with the styling and overall feel of this gun. I'm pretty sure this one is a keeper!

EKOL ES 55 - $159CAN (Order-now)

In the mix of Blank shooters came this EKOL ES 55 4.5mm BB gun, I'm going to have to shoot a few rounds through this arigun before I can really comment on it. Still a very nice looking all metal BB shooter with a full size drop out 16 round magazine.

EKOL MAJOR - $109US (Order-now)

If your a James Bond fan, you will recognize the design of this gun, it's a replica of the Walther PPK compact semi auto, Bond's favorite sidearm in many of the 007 movies. This particular version uses 9mm P.A.K blanks and holds 7 rounds in the magazine. I already have a few PPK styled blank guns so I'm not sure if this one is staying with me...

EKOL TUNA - $79US (Order-now)

Now we are getting into the light weight blank guns, and I thought my EKOL Volga was small! The EKOL Tuna is pretty similar to the EKOL Volga in looks and design but comes in just a bit smaller and hold 6 rounds of 8mm P.A.K. blanks in it's tinny single stack magazine. Even though this blank gun is so similar to my EKOL Volga, I may find it just a bit too hard to give up?

EKOL ARDA - $89US (Order-now)

If you're looking for a small blank gun - look no further! The EKOL Arda is crazy small but even so feels solid in the hand, just make sure to hold on tight! The Arda hold 5 rounds of 8mm P.A.K. blank ammo in it's cylinder and uses a pre-cocked single action only hammer, just like back in the wild west.

• UMAREX S&W M&P CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:Umarex.

Model:Colt Defender.

Materials: Mostly metal construction with a few plastic parts.

Weight: 1.6 pounds.

Barrel: 4.3 inches, metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, double action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 18 round magazine.

FPS: 440.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on this gun is medium and a bit long, the break point is a bit hard to predict but once you get used to it being on the long side it shoots pretty good.

Accuracy: This was my second time shooting the Colt Defender at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and again it performed about the same as the first time, with a decent 2 inch grouping. I think with practice, I could get this easily down to a 1.5 inch group.

Build Quality: As the Colt Defender is almost all metal, you can't really complain to much about the durability aspects of this gun. Where I was let down a bit was the lack of functionality. In other words - parts that normally served a purpose like the hammer, slide release, sight adjustments and rear safety - all where just molded into the metal gun and where only for show.

Realism: The Umarex Colt Defender is a licensed replica of the real 45 auto Colt Defender pistol. It is a close looking copy with the exception of the trigger mechanism.

Purchased this gun at : The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Almost all metal construction!

• Good accuracy and power combination.

• Very solid and durable air gun.

• Decent replica of the actual Colt Defender 45 auto.

Cons:

• Most of the mechanical parts are molded into the gun.

• I don't like the screw holes on the right hand side of the gun - a dead giveaway.

• I would have liked a drop out magazine.

• Ejection port metal material is only a plastic sticker.

Comments:

This is another low cost replica air gun from Umarex designed for the more entry level buyer. It's a very solid and well made gun being that it's mostly metal. There are many positive aspects about teh Colt Defender, it's fairly consistent and accurate, has all the Colt licensing and trademark, has a good 440fps, uses an all metal design, and comes in at a very affordable price.

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:Umarex.

Model:H&K USP.

Materials: Mostly Plastic exterior with metal magazine and internal parts.

Weight: 1.8 pounds.

Barrel: 4 inches, metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, double action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 22 round magazine.

FPS: 400.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on this gun is medium, it has a predictable break point and is easy to shoot.

Accuracy: This was my second time shooting the H&K USP at a target from 20 feet out free standing and again it performed about the same with a decent 2 inch grouping.

Build Quality: You would think as this air pistol is mostly all plastic on the outside, that it would seem cheap and not so well made, but in fact the opposite is true! The plastic is of very good quality and form looking at it you would think the slide was actually made out of metal. Many of the internal parts and the full size drop free magazine are made out of metal giving the H&K USP a very solid and hefty feel.

Realism: The Umarex H&K USP is a licensed replica of the real H&K USP automatic pistol. It is an extremely close looking and accurate copy.

Purchased this gun from: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Good price for such a realistic looking replica - excellent prop gun!

• Good accuracy and power combination.

• Nice full size 22 round drop out metal magazine..

• Even though it has a lot of plastic, they used high quality materials.

Cons:

• No blowback.

• Would have been nice to have at least a metal slide.

• Slide catch is moulded into the frame and the slide does not function in any way.

Comments:

This is another low cost replica air gun from Umarex designed for the more entry level buyer. It's actually a very well made gun despite all the plastic parts and it even has all the H&K USP licensing and trademarks. There is a lot of good with the Umarex H&K USP, it's fairly consistent and accurate, has good fps, uses "good quality" plastic, and  comes in at a very affordable price.
