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:
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.
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.

ASG CZ 75 P-07 DUTY AND DAN WESSON 6 & 8 INCH REVOLVERS COMING SOON!
ASG CZ 75 P-07 DUTY AND DAN WESSON 6 & 8 INCH REVOLVERS NOW SHIPPING
ASG DAN WESSON 6 INCH SILVER & 8 INCH BLACK CO2 BB REVOLVER REVIEW
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!

A little less than two months ago I hit 500 subscribers over on my YouTube Channel. So I held a little contest where today I am giving away an Umarex PPK CO2 BB Pistol to one luck contestant. And that lucky contest entry just happens to be ChairmanLao1911.
For those that where not aware of this 500th subscriber contest, all you had to do was:
I am happy to say I got a total of 35 video responses!
So again, here we are today and it looks like not too far down the road I will be holding another contest. And this one will be to celebrate my 1,000,000 subscriber - 1,000 Subscriber. It looks like I will hit these goals at just about the same time so why not combine the two?
I will keep you posted on the details of this upcoming contest so make sure to check back often :)
Here is my YouTube video for the 500th Subscriber Contest Umarex PPK/S Giveaway Winner:
If you have watched my Umarex Desert Eagle Review Video, you probably heard me whining about not having an under barrel Tactical Rial for my Umarex Desert Eagle. Well the whining paid off because with some help from Justin from California USA, I was able to get a replacement Tactical Rail! I guess Justin didn't need his and he offered to sell me his at a very reasonable price and I am now so happy my Umarex Desert Eagle has been reunited with its accessory Tactical rail.
I also received another treat today in the mail - a beautiful tanned leather holster for my Nickel Baikal Makarov graciously given to me by Mark from Ontario Canada. Mark has a wonderfull collection of Air guns past and present and had an extra Makarov holster he though I would appreciate - and I certainly do!
Thanks so much Justin and Mark!

I am really excited to let you in on some more Replica Airguns Store news. We have some really nice Air guns from ASG on order, I don't just yet have an ETA on when they will be here but should know in a little while...
First off we have the ASG CZ 75 P-07 Duty in Blowback Dual Tone:
"The CZ 75 P-07 DUTY is the new generation of the CZ 75 family which was first designed back in 1975 by the famous small arms manufacturer Česká zbrojovka, Czech Republic. This is the semi automatic 4.5mm (.177) airgun version fully licensed by CZ. It is powered by a 12g CO2 cartridge stored in the grip using the easy-load system and the BB’s are put in the drop-out magazine. The CZ 75 P-07 DUTY is a compact tactical upgraded version compared to the standard CZ 75. Besides being more compact in size the P-07 DUTY has an integrated front waiver rail for mounting light and laser. The grip and metal slide carries authentic CZ markings and every gun comes with unique serial number."
We also have on order some ASG Dan Wesson Revolvers in 6 inch Nickel and 8 inch Black barrel Versions:
"The legendary semi automatic revolver licensed by Dan Wesson – 6” silver and 8 inch black versions. The revolver has authentic markings and an individual serial number stamped into the frame. The revolver features a double action trigger system and adjustable rear sight for extra realism and accuracy. The Dan Wesson revolver is made of metal except for the ergonomical grip constructed in hard ABS plastic.
The 12g CO2 cartridge is stored under the grip and is easily accessed by sliding the grip to the side – easy-load style. Each of the 6 cartridges holds one BB and is placed in the metal drum that rotates as each round is fired. The revolver comes with a speed loader, changeable tactical rail and 6 cartridges."

One of my website viewers "Ian" tipped me of that Umarex has a new downloadable catalog available here. It has some more details on the Walther PPQ, S&W M&P 45 and S&W M&P R8 Pellet and BB CO2 pistols.
Walther PPQ BB/Pellet CO2 Pistol
Smith & Wesson M&P 45 BB/Pellet CO2 Pistol
Smith & Wesson R8 BB CO2 Revolver
UmarexAir released a SHOT Show YouTube video of their new replica BB and Pellet CO2 Airgun pistol styled after the Smith & Wesson M&P 45. Like Umarex's brand new Walther PPQ CO2 Pistol, the M&P 45 also utilizes a two magazine system with an 8 round capacity, one in black plastic for the BB's and one in silver metal for pellets. This air pistol looks to share many similarities with the CP99 and CPSport in design.

UmarexAir just released a YouTube video showcasing their latest replica Walther PPQ BB and Pellet CO2 Pistol introduced at the SHOT Show. It come with two 8 shot rotary magazines, one in black that is used for BB's and one in sliver for the pellets. I am assuming the black one is made out of plastic and the silver magazine is made out of metal. It also looks like the PPQ has an all metal top slide and uses a similar deign to the Umarex Walther CP99 and CPSport CO2 pellet pistols.

Umarex introduced a few new Airguns at the SHOT show this week, two of them (the PPQ and S&W M&P 45) look to be BB/Pellet shooters that house a rotary magazine within the slide (similar to the Umarex Walther CPSport). From the closeup picture of the Umarex Walther PPQ, it looks like it is going to retail for around $70! I wonder if it has as much metal as teh other Umarex products similar in design?
I'm not sure if the Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P 45 BB/Pellet shooter uses a rotary magazine like the PPQ but I would bet money it does.
And lastly Umarex has introduced a new BB Air Gun Revolver, the Smith & Wesson R8 BB Revolver. Judging by the photo, I'd have to say it looks a bit like they used similar ideas you'd find in the Dan Wesson CO2 Air pistol.
Source info/photos came from this link.
If any of you have any more photos or info on these guns please send them in an I will update this post!
Crosman introduced the Crosman C51, their latest Blowback CO2 BB pistol in 4.5mm - .177 caliber. It looks a lot like a Glock or perhaps the Umarex SA177, nevertheless it looks like a nice gun!
I don't have too much on it just yet for specifications other than it takes up to 20 - 4.5mm steel BB's, uses a standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge, and of course is a blowback operated gun with a metal slide and polymer frame.
I'll let you know more when I know more...

Type: BB air pistol.
Manufacturer:Umarex.
Model:Walther PPK/S (Black).
Materials: Mostly metal with some plastic parts.
Weight: 1.2 pounds.
Barrel: 3.5 inches, metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto, blowback, single action.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 15 round magazine.
FPS: 295.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on this gun is very light as a result of the true blowback action cocking the hammer with each shot.
Accuracy: For a short barreled non-riiffled BB pistol it tested fairly well with most of the BB's grouping within a 2 inch area at 20 feet out. There where some stragglers however.
Build Quality: This gun is almost entirely metal with the exception of the pistol grips, safety lever, magazine and outer barrel shroud. It has excellent detail and the fit and finish are pretty good.
Realism: The Umarex PPK/S is a replica of the actual Walther PPK/S, well know in the popular 007 James Bond movies. It has the Walther licensing on it in all the right places and overall looks a lot like the real Walther PPK/S with the exception of the lower handle and magazine release area. The handle on the BB version is a bit too long and the oversized CO2 piercing screw really takes away from the potential realism of this gun. That said, it's rather easy to cut the piercing crew shorter and add a notch in it so you can alternatively use a screwdriver to tighten it and gain back a bit more realism.
Purchased From:The Replica Airgun Store.
Pros:
Good reproduction of the original Walther PPK/S.
Would make an excellent training gun as it has a similar size, weight, and feel to the actual Walther PPK/S.
Blowback action and very light trigger pull makes it really fun to shoot.
Decent accuracy for a short barreled BB pistol.
Inexpensive but good overall quality (made in Japan)

Cons:
Heavy usage of CO2.
Fairly low 295 FPS.
Plastic magazine and out of place safety lever.
The CO2 piercing screw is really ugly and a realism killer for this gun.
Comments:
The Umarex Walther PPK/S BB pistol in my opinion is a must have collector piece. Even if you're not a big airgun fan, this is a great way to own virtually the same gun James Bond used in his early 007 movies. The Umarex PPK is a well made fun shooter at an affordable price with surprisingly not too bad accuracy.
My Vimeo Video Review for this Airgun:

My scope mounting hardware came in today and I got right to work adding my new Aim 3x9x40 Rubber Scope and Foregrip to it. I wasn't planning on putting on the Foregrip, it just kind of happened and it looks good, so it may just stay on the CX4?
I ordered a Picitinny/Weaver Deluxe Riser Mount because I wasn't sure if the scope would clear the built in sites and I was thinking I wanted to mount the 3x9x40 Scope toward the rear but as it happened my high rise ring mounts where already the perfect hight and the Picitinny/Weaver Deluxe Riser Mount I ordered wasn't required!
Guess I'll have to shelf the Riser Mount for another project, I'm sure one day it will come in handy.
Some more pictures of the new setup:
This has been a great year of adding to my Air and Blank Gun Collection, and it was also the beginning of ReplicaAirguns.com and the expansion of my YouTube Channel from 1 video to 30 videos, and all of this started back only in June of this year - Not bad!

"Before you attempt to do this modification you need to be aware that it may void your warrantee and/or you may fail and either break something or incorrectly reassemble your Mini UZI rendering it "Broked"! This is your problem so please do not attempt this modification (even though it is fairly easy to do) unless you're 100% confident you can do it and are aware of the possible consequences. Make sure to also take into account any gun laws in your area prohibiting full-auto capable firearms!"
(Special thanks to Herman for showing me the ropes on this modification)
This modification will make your semi-auto "only" Cybergun/KWC Mini UZI BB Gun into a full auto capable 4.5mm BB machine gun. From the factory the full auto switch position (Far Left "A") is disabled but the full auto selector position is visible. The actual full-auto functionality is still present in the Mini UZI but has been decommissioned by the simple means of blocking the selector switch from being moved to the far left full-auto or "A" position.
This full auto modification will show you how to disassemble the Cybergun - KWC Mini UZI BB Gun and remove the small plastic selector switch blockage so you will be able to manually switch between semi auto and full auto modes. This modification takes about 15 minutes to complete.

You will need the following tools: A pair of pliers and either a pair of small wire cutters or a file.
Let's begin! Below are the two pre-modification positions available from the factory:
"S - SAFE"
"R - SEMI AUTO"
Below is a closeup of the top bolt cover that we will be removing to access the internal bolt for removal:
In the next photo we have removed the bolt cover by pressing the "angled button" towards the rear sight:
And now the bolt is removed:
I removed the grips but this is not necessary:
Now you will need to remove the lower receiver pin located at the back end of the receiver closest to the grip safety. Use a pair of pliers to pinch the metal pin while pushing it through. Once the pin is started you can use the pliers on the other side to pull the pin all the way out. You may need to us a fair amount of force to do this as the fit of the pin is tight:
Once the pin is removed the lower receiver can be detached:
You can see in the picture below the small plastic nub that we will need to remove in order to restore full-auto capability:
I used a pair of small wire cutters to clip this plastic nub off, but you could use a file too. Just make sure that the plastic is flush and does not have any burs or protrusions.
Below is a photo of the Plastic Nub removed from another angle:
After that, all you need to do is reassemble you Mini UZI in revers order to finnish the Full Auto modification.
In the below Photos you can see we have restored the ability to move the fire selector switch over to the "Far Left" or "A" position, reenabling the Cybergun - KWC Mini UZI BB Gun to shoot in full auto when desired.
"A - FULL AUTO"
Now enjoy your Cybergun - KWC Mini UZI BB Gun in full-auto as it was originally designed!
Here is my Vimeo Video in Narrative with Photos:

Type: BB air pistol.
Manufacturer: Cybergun.
Model: Mini UZU.
Materials: Metal and Polymer.
Weight: 4.8 pounds.
Barrel: Metal, non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x1.
Action: Semi auto (Selectable Full Auto with Mod) blowback, single action only.
Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.
Ammunition Capacity: 25 rounds
FPS: 344
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is very light with an easy break.
Accuracy: Very good, even with all the heavy blowback recoil!
Build Quality: Excellent, with a good amount of metal construction, good weight and craftsmanship with good fit and finish. Much of the gun is made out of metal with the exception of some of the outer receiver and grips.
Realism: This is a very close replica of the actual real steel with many of the same markings in all the right places, It's hard to find any real differences other than the fact that it shoots 4.5mm BB's and has a bit more plastic.
Pros:
Extremely realistic airgun replica of the Mini UZI.
Metal construction where it counts.
Would make an excellent training gun as it functions just like a real Mini UZI.
Blowback action is incredibly firm (more than a rimfire 22 cal.) adding to the realism of shooting this weapon.
Can be easily field striped.
Can be easily modified to fire in either Semi Auto or Full Auto by removing one small plastic blockage.
Adjustable sights.
Very useful metal folding stock.
Cons:
It goes through CO2 very fast.
When the magazine is empty, the slide bolt does not stay open and the gun will continue to fire waisting CO2.
Some of the outer materials are plastic, would have been nice if they too where metal construction.
Comments:
This is a really nice blowback BB gun. Although it is advertised on many websites as being all metal, it does have some plastic outer parts, but the parts that get the most wear and tear are made out of metal. That aside, the Cybergun Mini UZI is pretty much an exact copy of the real Mini UZI with many of the same markings as the original. One feature that makes it feel even more genuine is the very heavy blow back recoil, it is alarming at first and I would even say it has more recoil than a rimfire 22 cal. gun does. It only comes in a semi auto version but all Cybergun did to inhibit full auto mode was to simply add a plastic nub that stops the fire selector switch from being selected to full auto. Once this plastic nub is removed, full auto mode is resorted. This well made BB gun is a bit pricy but you get a lot of gun for your money!

I have been holding off and holding off on this gun for a while now but I just can't wait any longer! So today I finally ordered up a Full Metal UZI Blowback CO2 .177 BB Gun from the Air Gun Source here in Canada.
I'm not 100% sure who makes this full metal replica UZI BB gun but I believe it may be the Cybergun version. There seems to be identical version distributed by "Armist Industries" and "KWC", when it comes I should have more info about it. This UZI is stated to be "Full Metal" but I have heard conflicting stores and again when I get it I will update you on the quality of this nice UZI Blowback BB Gun.
These guns ship with a selector switch that has three positions: (A-R-S), one is the safety and the other two are semi-auto only. This gun does not ship with a full-auto feature but I have a source who has converted his to full auto and he is sharing this information with me shortly. I plan to mod mine so it has a selectable semi auto and full auto.
This gun is reported to have a very heavy blow back action with significant shoulder kick for a BB gun. Sounds like fun! It has also been chronographed at 390 FPS! And it even comes with a folding Stock.
Here are some basic stats for you until I do my full review...
