Umarex Walther P99 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol Added to Canada Store

No Comments

Another Blowback Airsoft pistol added to the Canada Replica Airguns Store and this one won't break the bank!

The Umarex Walther P99, one of Walther's most popular semi auto pistols. This CO2 powered Airsoft version captures the realism with its BLOWBACK, semi-automatic action and full metal slide.

A 12g CO2 cylinder loads in the back of the grip and the Airsoft BB magazine releases with the push of a realistic magazine release lever. The recoil action made live by the power of CO2 kicks the slide back giving you that oh-so-realistic feel. A great pistol for Target, Airsoft Games and owners of the P99 or similar firearms.
  • 6mm Airsoft Plastic BB's
  • CO2 Powered
  • 15 round drop out metal magazine
  • Up to 380 fps
  • 1.5 pounds
  • 7.25 inch length

  • Blowback
  • Metal slide - polymer frame
  • Tactical Rail Mount
  • Fully Licensed
  • Comes with red tip (Can be removed with a bit of work ;)

Umarex HK P30 CO2 Pellet & BB Pistol Table Top & Shooting Review

5 Comments

Type: Pellet & BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:Umarex.

Model:HK P30.

Materials: Metal & plastic construction.

Weight: 1.7 pounds.

Barrel: 3.88 inches, metal rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, single and double action.

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

Ammunition Capacity: 8 shot pellet rotary magazine & 15 shot inline BB magazine.

FPS: 360/410

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex HK P30 is fairly nice in single action mode while shooting in double action will give your trigger finger a bit of a workout. You can fire off pretty quick in double action but not as fast as with airguns that have a lighter double action.

Accuracy: I shot the Umarex HK P30 at a target from 20 feet away in a semi rested position using both pellets and BB's to see how both ammunitions worked. I was also interested to see if pellets would perform better than the BB's? Using 6.9 grain RWS pellets I was able to get just over a one inch grouping close to the center of the target and also averaging 363 fps with my 5 shot chronograph testing. BB's did get  higher chronograph results as expected with an averaged 415 fps but grouped a bit larger at just under two inches.

Build Quality: This is an extremely well made metal and polymer air pistol with great fit and finish and a nice dense 1.7 pound weight to it. It's another "made in Germany" Umarex that uses the 8 shot rotary pellet magazines but with teh added ability to shoot BB's loaded in the full size drop out magazine? There is plastic on this air pistol but it's in the same places you would find it on the real steel HK P30. The balance, ergonomics and feel this gun offers is as good as it gets.

Realism: The Umarex HK P30 is a licensed replica of the real HK P30 semi auto pistol. It looks almost exactly like the real steel version with the exception of the break in the slide where the rotary magazine is accessible and the smaller .177 caliber muzzle opening.

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Rifled barrel for Pellets but can also shoot BB's.

  • Full H&K Licensing.

  • German made!

  • Comes in a nice hard-shell case.

  • Full size drop out magazine that holds BB's and CO2.

  • Adjustable rear sight for windage.

  • Double and Single Action trigger.

  • Rail for adding accessories.

  • Very nice holding gun, good ball acne and weight.

  • Good accuracy and power.

Cons:

  • More expensive then many entry level guns but much higher quality.

  • Barrel is not recessed at all.

  • Did not get a lot of shots form a CO2.

  • Trigger is a bit tuff in double action mode.

Comments:

I have had a lot of people ask me to review this air pistol and to be honest I thought it would be just like the other Umarex German made rotary magazine pellet shooters, and that's not a bad thing! But it is different then the rest as it is the only one that also has the ability to shoot BB's by loading up the inline drop out magazine with 15 BB's and fitting the BB adapter where the rotary magazine would normally go. I also really like the look and feel of this gun. It is the perfect size and weight, not too big or small and not to heavy or light. I would really lie to get my hands on the real steel HK P30 to see if it has similar characteristics? If you want the best of both worlds, an accurate CO2 pellet pistol and an action shooting high capacity BB shooter, you can have it all with the HK P30.

Daisy Zinc Coated BB's Added to the Canada Store

No Comments

It's about time! I have been holding out for some Zinc coated BB's as they are my ammo of choice, I feel they keep your gun a lot cleaner as the copper coated BB's can tend to leave a dusty rust colored residue behind.

You can get the Daisy Zinc Coated BB's in either 4000 or 6000 count bottles located in the Canada Store > Accessories > Air Guns > Ammo Section. Or click here!

Umarex Beretta 90two CO2 BB Pistol Full Review

18 Comments

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: UmarexUSA.

Model: Beretta 90two.

Materials: Metal and plastic construction.

Weight: 1.2 pounds.

Barrel: 5 inches, non-rifled.

Propulsion: 12 gram CO2.

Action: Single & double actions.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 21 rounds.

FPS: 375+ fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Beretta 90two is respectable in both single and double action, I found the 90two to be good shooting in both actions but preferred the feel of single action for more precise shooting. In double action you fire off a lot of shots quickly but the trigger is fairly long so you need to use a full pull or you may miss a shot here or there.

Accuracy: The results I got shooting my 8 round group from 20 feet out where excellent, coming in at just under a 1 inch group which is about as good as you can expect from a BB pistol of any quality. I also got well over the factory claimed 375 fps at an average of closer to 400 feet per second.

Build Quality: The Umarex Beretta 90two does use both plastic and metal in its build with an all metal slide and feels solid in the hands but I feel it would of felt even better if it had a another half pound to it or so. I had no problems with it in terms of function and the fit and finish where very good but there is always that feeling you get when you hold something with some weight to it in your hands. I do have to credit Umarex for working in a moveable slide and full size drop out magazine.

Realism: The Umarex Beretta 90 two is very realistic and includes Beretta licensing and markings throughout. As mentioned before, the moveable slide and full size drop out magazine along with the recessed barrel makes this air pistol version look very close to the real steel Beretta 90two. The only real giveaways are the exposed CO2 tab on the bottom of the magazine and the somewhat out of place safety switch on the right side of the gun.

Available in the:Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • Has metal working slide.

  • Full size drop out magazine that holds BB's and CO2.

  • Full Beretta Licensing and markings.

  • Single and double action trigger.

  • Rail for adding accessories.

  • Above claimed fps with good usage of CO2 and excellent accuracy.

Cons:

  • Gun could be a bit heavier for added realism.

  • Non adjustable sights.

  • CO2 tab is plastic and exposed.

Comments:

Right off the bat I have to say the Umarex Beretta 90two is a step up from the Elite II, not that there is anything wrong with the Elite II, but given the choice I would go with the Beretta 90two as it's simply a more realistic version of the Beretta 92 with its working metal slide and full size drop out magazine that holds both the BB's and CO2 in it. On the performance side of things, the Umarex Beretta 90two also met or exceeded my expectations so the 90 two is not just built for show. If your a beretta fan looking for a realistic Beretta styled air gun and don't want to spend the big bucks for the all metal German made Umarex version, then the Beretta 90two is an excellent option to consider adding to your collection or even as a first time BB gun purchaser!

ZMZ Tyrex PPA-K-01 4.5mm BB Machine Gun For Sale

5 Comments

SOLD OUT!

I have had a lot of people ask to buy my Russian made ZMZ Tyrex PPA-K-01 4.5mm BB Machine Gun and offer a lot of money for it and I have turned them all down, some may say I am crazy but the people offering the big bucks understand how rare this gun is here in North America and will pay what it takes to own one.

I was approached by the seller that I originally purchased my ZMZ Tyrex PPA-K-01 from and he informed me that he has two brand new in the box units he has acquired and is willing to sell. So for those of you who wanted to buy mine from me, now is your chance to get one!

He is asking $850, "this is not a misprint", they are not cheap, they are a rare collectors item, if you can find one for less money then grab it quick.

Interested parties can send me an email and I will forward your information to the seller. You can work out the details with him. Good luck!

Umarex Smith & Wesson 327 TRR8 CO2 BB Revolver Full Review

22 Comments

Type: BB air revolver.

Manufacturer: UmarexUSA.

Model:Smith & Wesson 327 TRR8.

Materials: Mostly metal with some plastic construction.

Weight: 2.3 pounds.

Barrel: 6 inches, non-rifled.

Propulsion: 12 gram CO2.

Action: Revolver, single & double actions.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 6 rounds.

FPS: 400fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Smith & Wesson 327 TRR8 is good in both single and double action, I wouldn't say it isn't supper light in either action but pretty decent overall. I found shooting in single action to be the most precise as the release point is instant. Shooting in double action was also fairly predictable.

Accuracy: The results I got shooting my 6 round group from a 20 foot out position where none other than impressive and I would have to say the 327 TRR8 shot the best group (just over a 1/2 inch) I have ever recorded using 4.5mm steel BB's. I'm not even sure if I have bettered these results using pellets from a rifled barreled pistol? This goes to show you how well an accurate BB gun can perform when shooting from a reasonable distance.

Build Quality: With the Umarex S&W 327 TRR8 Revolver being mostly metal, you would expect it to have a decent build quality and I am happy to say it does. Everything looked and fit well, the CO2 Revolver had good heft to it and I had absolutely no problems shooting this gun. My only real reservation is the plastic CO2 screw tab but so far with my other guns that have the same type of tabs, they are holding up well.

Realism: The Umarex Smith & Wesson 327 TRR8 is very realistic in terms of looking and operating as a revolver with it's brass shell casings you load juts like a real revolver, so yes it feels realistic and even looks a lot like a S&W 327 TRR8 to some degree. With that said, Umarex has taken some liberty on this one most likely because it is built off an existing airgun frame and to make it into a true 327 TRR8 replica would have required a complete redesign. I would have to say the Umarex S&W M&P R8 is actually a closer 327 TRR8 Replica than the gun reviewed in this video.

Available in the:Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • It's a revolver with actual shells! Gives you the feeling of loading and shooting a real revolver.

  • Almost all metal design.

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

  • Excellent power, accuracy and shots per CO2.

  • Adjustable fiber optic sights.

  • Lots of places to mount accessories.

Cons:

  • Plastic CO2 screw tab could cause problems down the road?

  • Only shoots BB's - why not make a pellet version with a rifled barrel?

  • Actually shoots 6 rounds not 8 like the real version of this revolver.

Comments:

What's not to like about this Umarex Smith & Wesson Revolver? It's built very well, it most certainly looks good, it has the best tested accuracy I have seen so far from a BB gun, it shot even higher velocities than claimed, it gets tons of shots from a single CO2, and it loads up just like a real steel revolver but at a fraction of the cost to shoot! If you want to customize yours you have plenty of options with two weaver mounts top and bottom and it comes in at a very reasonable price tag!

Umarex Browning Buck Mark URX Pellet Pistol Table Top & Shooting Review

5 Comments

Type: Pellet air pistol.

Manufacturer:UmarexUSA.

Model:Browning Buck Mark URX.

Materials: Metal & plastic construction.

Weight: 1.5 pounds.

Barrel: 5.25 inches, metal rifled.

Propulsion: Spring piston.

Action: Break barrel, single action only.

Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.

Ammunition Capacity: 1 pellet.

FPS: 320fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Browning Buck Mark URX is not too bad but I feel it is a bit heavier than the claimed 5.75 pounds. In comparison to my real steel 22LR Buck Mark, the trigger is much heavier but then again my 22LR trigger is what I would consider to be near perfection. I was able to work with the trigger as is but found I was expecting the trigger to release earlier then it actually did and I needed to apply just a bit more force than I would have liked to. Even so, with a bit of practice I was able to nail my shots.

Accuracy: Wow is all I can say, you will need to work withe the Umarex Browning Buck Mark URX a bit to get used to where the trigger breaks but once you dial it in this airgun is a tac driver. I decided to go with a non-magnified NcSTAR Ultra Compact 1x25 Red/Green Dot Sight and found it worked well with this Buck Mark pellet shooter. From 30 feet out I was able to land 4 shots pretty much right on top of each other and ended up with an under 1 inch 5 shot group, and keep in mind that I was only using a standing but rested stance (non braced).

Build Quality: Considering the very low price tag for this pellet shooting Buck Mark Replica, I was not expecting it to be as well constructed as it was, there is a decent amount of metal in teh URX giving it a nice 1.5 pound heftiness to it and the rubberized grips make this air pistol feel much more expensive than it is. My only concern is the hinge area in the break barrel portion of the gun, once cocked there seems to be some play that could effect accuracy down the road when wear appears. But once locked back into the closed position the play is all but eliminated.

Realism: The Umarex Browning Buck Mark URX is a licensed replica of the actual Browning Buck Mark 22LR semi auto pistol. Umarex did a great job making this break barrel pistol look very close in most ways to the actual Browning Buck Mark URX with the exception of the lever required to cock the spring that is located just under the back of the barrel. The barrel itself is also a tad bit long but I am sure this helps when cocking to get a bit more leverage. When you consider this is a single shot break barrel pellet shooting version, it looks pretty authentic and most importantly it feels very similar to the real 22LR version which makes it a great off range alternative for 22LR Buck Mark owners.

Available in the:Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • Very decent Browning Buck Mark Replica!

  • Feels very well built overall for a low cost airgun.

  • Excellent accuracy once you spend a bit of time with it.

  • Got much better than claimed fps.

  • Has a built in rail for an added sight system.

  • Awesome rubberized grip texture.

  • Ergonomics are much like the real Buck Mark making this a great off the range substitution for the real 22LR pistol.

  • Very low price tag.

Umarex Browning Buck Mark URX - S&W 327 TRR8 - Beretta 90two Update Preview

1 Comment

I've had a lot of requests to review the Umarex Smith & Wesson 327 TRR8 and the Umarex Beretta 90two BB CO2 Pistols, perhaps not as many requests for the Umarex Browning Buck Mark URX but the URX has been one I have wanted to get my hands on as I am an owner of a 22LR Browning Buck Mark pistol.

Umarex came through and sent all three of these pistols to me this week for review so now we all get to benefit, I get three new guns added to my collection and my viewers get some new Umarex Product Reviews from me!

I will of course be doing full review of all three Umarex pistols, in this videos I just quickly show you around them all.

In short, The Umarex Smith & Wesson 327 TRR8 is very similar to my Dan Wesson Revolvers in most every way but with the Smith & Wesson branding and licensing and a slightly different barrel design. The Umarex Beretta 90two is what I would consider an upgraded Beretta Elite II complete with a working metal slide, full size drop out magazine that holds both the CO2 and 4.5mm BB's and a single and double action trigger.

The Umarex Browning Buck Mark URX is the sleeper of them all in my opinion, even though it is a single shot .177 pellet pistol with fps on the lower side, it is really a joy to shoot with its supper easy to cock break barrel and well balanced grip. Right out of the box I was getting excellent shot placement with it!

Make sure to watch this short Preview video and stay posted for the full review to come out shortly:

Daisy Powerline 5501 Blowback CO2 BB Pistol Table Top & Shooting Review

5 Comments

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Daisy.

Model: Powerline 5501.

Materials: Mostly metal.

Weight: 1.44 pounds.

Barrel: 4 inches, smooth bore.

Propulsion: CO2.

Action: Semi auto, blowback, single action.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 15 rounds.

FPS: Up-to 430.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Daisy Powerline 5501 is about average, a bit long but fairly smooth and about a medium pull weight. The first part of the action loads a BB into the chamber and the second part releases the hammer which give the pistol a bit of a creepy first stage.

Accuracy: I was not impressed with how my Daisy 5501 performed in the accuracy portion of this review, it got about a 3 inch 8 shot group from 20 feet out in a semi rested position, in comparison many of my BB pistols can easily get a 1 inch grouping shooting this way. I may try a different brand of BB's even though the RWS BB's I used where of high quality, they just may have not suited this pistol? FPS velocities where a bit under the manufacturers claimed ratings but very close at a respectable average of 386 fps with my 8 shot test shooting on a somewhat cold day. Not bad for a blowback pistol!

Build Quality: The Daisy Powerline 5501 is a pretty much all metal pistol with what looks to be very good build quality. The 5501 is made in Japan, I have found most Japanese made guns to be well made in the past. The frame, slide, trigger, safety, slide catch, CO2 screw, and de-cocker are all metal and of course many of the internal parts too. The only plastic parts to speak of are the grips and the magazine. I would have liked to have seen the magazine with more metal in it but for the most part it is protected within the gun so you should be OK.

Realism: The Daisy Powerline 5501 is loosely styled after the Sig Sauer in combination with a Walther semi auto pistol. It is lacking a cut-out ejection port that would have added greatly to its realism. I would have also liked to have seen a metal magazine as it's seems a bit cheap compared to the rest of the pistol. I do like the fact that the barrel tip has a large diameter opening making the gun look more like the larger caliber weapon it is styled after. It's also one of the few BB pistols with a working de-coker on it.

Available at:Replica Airguns Store US.

Pros:

  • Lots of metal in this gun!

  • Nice hard blowback.

  • Good fps velocity and decent shots per CO2.

  • The two-tone look is very nice with a stainless look to the frame.

  • Accessory rail makes adding a tactical light or laser easy.

  • Warning instructions on slide are color matched to be more discreet.

  • Very well designed CO2 tightening system and also well hidden.

Cons:

  • Did not shoot very accurately for me with the BB's I used.

  • Ejection port is not cut out, takes away from the realism a bit.

  • All plastic magazine.

All in all I liked this Daisy Powerline 5501, other than the poor results I got in terms of accuracy using my chosen zinc platted RWS BB's, the Powerline 5501 was really very good in all other aspects. I think it is a rather nice looking gun with excellent build quality throughout with lots of metal giving the 5001 a nice 1.5 pounds weight. The Daisy 5501 had very heavy and snappy blowback while retaining decent shots per CO2 and respectable close to 400 fps real world velocities. This Daisy Powerline 5501 blowback BB pistol is priced at well under $100 making it very good value in my mind.

ASG Products Have Cleared Canada Customs Now

2 Comments

Just a quick heads up for our Canadian customers waiting on Dan Wesson Revolvers, the ASG Airguns and some Airsoft guns have now cleared customs, we still have some more Airsoft guns from ASG coming down the road but at least we have some to start with for now.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that we have a very large backorder list and we will be doing our best to send out the backordered Dan Wesson starting tomorrow. It will take some time to get caught up so please try to avoid sending us an email about your backordered Dan Wesson, we are working very hard to get them to all of you and will update everyone with a tracking number as soon as yours ships.

If you are interested in some of the ASG Airsoft guns then make sure to check back over the next few days as I update our Airsoft guns section or our Canada Replica Airguns Store with the new ASG Airsoft items.

ASG Shipment Delay - We Will Have Them Soon!!!

2 Comments

We have been waiting a while here in Canada for some of our ASG products to come back in stock. ASG provides us with our Dan Wesson line and the Dan Wesson Revolvers have been a very popular airgun to say the least. We did  manage to get a few of them, mainly to fill some of the earlier back orders but this big order had to come by cargo ship and now it has arrived and has been with Canada customs for about a week so we should be close to having them for you!

The hold up on this shipment is because we have some ASG Airsoft guns in with the regular Airguns which is good news as we will soon be stocking some very nice ASG Airsoft Pistols and Rifles but the new Airsoft guns are the main reason that Canada Customs is taking their time giving their OK on this shipment.

My advice to anyone who has been waiting a long time for their Dan Wesson Revolver (Mostly the 2.5 & 4 inch versions) is to hold on a bit longer because the wait is almost over and we will sell out of these guns quickly so having your backorder in guarantees you will get yours.
