We are looking at the arrival of two new barrel lengths for the very popular ASG Dan Wesson 4.5mm BB Revolvers. The two new barrel lengths are the 2.5 inch Silver version and the 4 inch Black version.
Based on the requests I have been getting for more shorter barreled revolvers and the popularity of the 6 inch and 8 inch Dan Wesson's we have already been selling, I know these are going to sell well. And as per usual, I will pick some up for my personal collection and do a full review to share with everyone.
I am hesitant to offer a "Pre-sale" on these two new ASG revolvers with the current Customs delays going on but our last ASG shipment made it through pretty quickly. The expected availability for the ASG Dan Wesson 2.5 and 4 inch Revolvers is at the end of November!
This is a "Pre-sale" item Save $20 (we expect to arrive near the end of November - please make sure to read over our Terms & Conditions concerning "Pre-sale" orders)
The Umarex Steel Storm Tactical 4.5mm BB gun has a 30 shot spring fed magazine capacity along with a gravity fed 300-round BB reserve that makes reloading even faster and easier! This allows you to shoot 5 6-shot bursts in "full-auto" mode very quickly, you can also shoot in single shot semi-auto mode. The Steel Storm gives the feel of a real gun with realistic blowback action and to keep the fun going, it is powered by dual 12 g CO2 capsules. The CO2 is housed in a drop out styled magazine for easy access.

The Umarex S&W M&P R8 Air Pistol is a CO2 powered 4.5mm BB Revolver. You can also add a tactical flashlight or laser to the integrated accessory rail . The Smith & Wesson M&P R8 has a manual safety and black synthetic grips, as well as fixed front and a windage adjustable rear sights. This BB replica revolver is not only great for plinking, but also makes a good target shooter.
Enjoy the excitement of the Umarex Walther PPK/S, one of the world's most famous pistols made infamous by the popular James Bond 007 movies. Fire 15 steel 4.5mm BB's as fast as you can pull the trigger with its ultra realistic blowback recoil. This air pistol has a heavyweight steel construction with an authentic look and feel you will surly enjoy!
The semi-automatic Makarov, named after its designer, was introduced into the armed forces of the former Soviet Union in 1951. Later on a number of countries in the Warsaw Pact adopted this model as an ordinance pistol for police and military use. Just like the original, the Umarex Makarov CO2 version has both a Double & Single Action trigger, making it very accurate yet fun to shoot rapid fire. It has all the operating elements along with a movable slide. All the important parts of this sturdily built CO2 pistol are made entirely of metal: frame, slide and exterior operating components.
Since making its debut in 1989, the H&K USP (Universal Self-loading Pistol) has gone through considerable development, and it is now widely used as a service pistol by police and armed forces. This 4.5mm BB shooting replica's rugged design and reliability make it interesting to shooters and collectors alike. Non-blowback operation was chosen for this CO2 pistol giving the shooter a system with superior accuracy and a higher number of shots by utilizing the CO2 gas more efficiently.
I addedd a total of 6 new BB pistols to the Replcia Airguns Store and all of them are under $100 Umarex BB shooters. The first one is the Umarex Colt Defender BB Pistol.
The Umarex Colt Defender is an all metal replica of a Colt Classic and just like the original it's compact and handy, this 4.5 mm model is especially easy to use with a very simple design ensuring reliable use. To reload simply press the magazine catch and the single-part grip plate pops out, revealing the 12 g CO2 capsule and built-in internal stick magazine.
One of my viewers sent some photos of his custom sanded and polished two-tone ASG STI Duty One 1911. Ken did an awesome job and it makes me want to do the same to mine :)
He started out by sanding off the paint with 500 grit sandpaper and working his way finer right up to 2000 grit and then finishing off with some Meguiar’s NXT Generation metal polish. The results are amazing - see for yourself!
I am pleased to announce that we have added another target shooter to the Replica Airguns Store and this one also does not require any CO2!
The Xisico XSP180 is a very close copy of the Diana P5 Magnum and is a spring action pistol that packs the power of an air rifle within its compact, lightweight body. At under 17" in length and weighing only 2.5 lbs, the XS180P reaches muzzle velocities of up to 500fps using .177 caliber pellets and up to 400fps using .22 caliber pellets.The XSP180 is packed with performance features.
The picatinny rail underneath the barrel provides many tactical options for the shooter. The competition style hand grips gives a comfortable, natural fit enabling better accuracy. Premier fiber optic adjustable sights as well as an auto/manual safety and adjustable trigger round out the long list of features.
Although it looks like a semi auto, under the hood is a multi-pump pneumatic system that requires pumping between shots, you can pump just a few times or several to get right up to 625 fps with 7.9 grain pellets so I am assuming this one is not coming to the Canadian market in it's current configuration. By the way you can also shoot BB's by loading up to 350 into the BB reservoir located on the side of the receiver, while an 18 round track feeds the BB's for shooting.
Some other interesting points to mention are the adjustable rear stock and windage adjustable, dual aperture (2-position), flip rear sight, and elevation adjustable front sight that can also be removed entirely for alternative sighting like a red dot or scope.
The Crosman M417 - M4 styled pellet and BB rifle uses a polymer stock, receiver and forearm and sports tactical rails for mounting accessories in several locations. MSRP is right around $119.
Here 's to hoping for a Canadianized version some time in the near future...

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the CS9 is fairly light with a shorter pull. There is no double action on the Retay CS9 but it does have an exposed hammer making it easy to pull back and fire if you have a round already in the chamber but your gun is de-cocked.
Accuracy: N/A.
Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my EKOL blank guns which is what you would expect since they are both Turkish made guns. The Retay CS9 is well built and uses good quality materials with pretty decent fit and finish, this gun is mostly metal and has good heft for its small size weighing in at 2 pounds. My review unit is the Gloss black version but keep in mind we will be selling the CS9 in Matte Black and Satin only. The Retay CS9 performed very well for me and had no problems with chambering, firing and ejecting rounds when I tested it, just like the other Retay blank guns I tested before it
Realism: The Retay CS9, Smith & Wesson CS9 copy is a pretty good Smith & Wesson CS9 replica with the exception of the de-cocker and a few other minor differences. The basic gun shape and main features are similar to that of a Smith & Wesson CS9.
Barrel back pressure screw needs to be removed in order to use flare adaptor.
Could have been just a bit closer to the real CS9.
No Manual or cleaning rod included.
Comments:
I wasn't sure about the Retay CS9 at first and kind of preferred my Retay Baron HK and Eagle over the CS9 at first but this smaller Retay has really grown on me. It's almost the perfect size yet it retains a very compact frame while still having a mid sized guns weight and magazine capacity. And as mentioned, it kind of fills the void that the Zoraki 914 left behind when it was reclassified as a prohibited firearm in Canada. I will most likely be picking myself up a Satin version of this one to go with my black Retay CS9, hey you can't lose at this very good price.
My Vimeo Video Review of the Retay Baron HK Sig Sauer P228 copy) Blank Gun:
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Retay Baron HK is about light to medium with a fairly short pull. The actual real steel Sig Sauer P228 would have both single and double action but many semi auto guns shoot in single or double action only.
Accuracy: N/A.
Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my EKOL blank guns which makes sense since they are both Turkish made guns. The Retay Baron HK is well built and uses good quality materials with pretty decent fit and finish, this gun is almost all metal and has good heft to it weighing in at 2.3 pounds. The matte black finish on this gun is pretty close to what you would find on a blued gun but with less shine to it, keep in mind we will be selling the Baron HK's in Matte Black and Satin. The Retay Baron HK performed very well for me and had no problems with loading, firing and ejecting rounds when I tested it.
Realism: The Retay Baron HK Sig Sauer P228 copy is a really good Sig Sauer P228 replica. The grips could even almost be swapped with a real Sig Sauer P228 grip if the screw holes where just a bit closer to the center of the hand grip. The basic gun shape and main features are almost dead on to the real Sig Sauer P228 including the de-cocker, slide catch and take down leaver. Internally the gun does differ as the Baron HK has a single action only trigger and a fixed barrel.
Barrel back pressure screw needs to be removed in order to use flare adaptor.
Grips are a bit shiny and the texture takes some getting used to.
No Manual or cleaning rod included.
Comments:
This gun for me was another must have blank shooter as I already own a real steal 9mm version of this gun (My Norinco NP-34), I just really like the look of Sig Sauer semi auto pistols! I will be getting another Retay Barron HK but this time in the satin finish. Because I have the real gun version, I was able to see how really close this gun is to an actual Sig in looks weight and handling. As a training gun, this is ideal as there is much less risk when using blank guns for practicing things like holster draws or even basic gun control drills.
My Vimeo Video Review of the Retay Baron HK Sig Sauer P228 copy) Blank Gun:
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Retay is about medium pull, it is a bit heavier in double action mode as would be expected and I found that the release is fairly near the very end of the pull. I'm pretty sure the real Desert Eagle only has single action operation but being able to shoot in both actions is kind of nice.
Accuracy: N/A.
Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my EKOL blank guns which makes sense since they are both Turkish made guns. The Retay Eagle is well built and uses good quality materials, this gun is almost all metal and has good heft to it weighing in at 3.1 pounds. The finish quality is typical of other Turkish guns - good but not perfect. The satin finish on this gun has a raw metal look but with a slight gold tint and a semi polished look, keep in mind we will be selling it in Matte Black, non-shiny Chrome and Nickel. The Retay Eagle performed very well for me and had no problems with loading, firing and ejecting rounds when I tested it.
Realism: The Retay Eagle Desert Eagle copy is a pretty decent Desert Eagle replica with a few small exceptions. Overall I would say it is slightly smaller than a real Desert Eagle and has a bit smaller handle which may be good for people with smaller hands and it also has 2 screws near the front of the slide on each side that would not be there on a real Desert Eagle.
Slightly smaller in size then a real Desert Eagle?
The screws on the slide are a bit out of place and would look better color matched.
Barrel back pressure screw needs to be removed to use flare adaptor
No Manual or cleaning rod included.
Comments:
This gun was a must have blank gun for me, owning a real Desert Eagle is pretty much out of the question because they are not cheap to buy and operate. For a very small fraction of the price of a real Desert Eagle I get to own the next best thing and as a matter of fact, I may just buy one in each color since the price is very affordable! As with many of the blank guns, the Retay Eagle would make an excellent prop gun for TV or Movie scenes. And you can always impress you friends by pulling out the Retay Eagle and proclaiming "That's not a gun - This is a gun!"
My Vimeo Video Review of the Retay Eagle (Desert Eagle copy) Blank Gun:
I will be doing full reviews of these three Retay guns; the CS9 (Smith & Wesson CS9 Copy), Baron HK (Sig Sauer P228 Copy), and the Eagle (Desert Eagle Copy). For know I wanted to at least give you a quick preview video of them. My full review videos will focus on each Retay blank gun individually and go into detail with shooting tests and Fields Strips when possible.
My basic first impressions of this new blank gun offering from Retay is that they are a welcome addition to our current blank gun offerings here in Canada and what I like most is that all three guns are very different in look and design then the EKOL guns we have had for some time now. As far as quality goes, I would say they are on par with the EKOL guns and being that they are made in Turkey this shouldn't be too unexpected.
Keep checking back as I will be reviewing all three Retay 9mm P.A.K. blank guns over the next little while.
Last but not least and certainly not the smallest! I just added the Retay Desert to the Replica Airguns Store. And I am sure most of you can figure out what this 9mm P.A.K. blank shooter is a replica of... the infamous Desert Eagle! I wanted to make this one just a bit more special by also offering it in a shiny Nickel finish. It also comes in Matte Black and Chrome but keep in mind that Turkish Chrome is not a shiny Chrome, it's more like a soft metal look.The Retay Desert is being pre-sold at a special pre-sale savings of $44 off on this one, shipping right around October 20th.
The Retay Eagle is a very nice copy of the IMI Desert Eagle full size semi auto pistol. It is a mostly all metal 9mm P.A.K. blank shooter that is front firing and comes in a hard shell case with a flare adaptor. This blanks shooter can be shot in both single and double action and is a real handful!
Another Retay blank gun added to the Replica Airguns Store is one of my favorites, the Retay Baron HK which is a very accurate copy of the Sig Sauer P228, I know because I own one! This model comes in Matte Black and Satin and is also available at a $24 discount right now as a pre-order item with stock being available right around October 20th.
The Retay Baron HK is a nice copy of the Sig Sauer P228 mid sized semi auto pistol. It is a mostly all metal 9mm P.A.K. blank shooter that is front firing and comes in a hard shell case with a flare adaptor. Additionally it utilizes a de-cocker and fires in single action only.
I am happy to announce that I just added the Retay line of 9mm P.A.K blank guns to my Replica Airguns Store. The first one I am listing here is the Retay CS9. The Retay guns are expected to arrive ready for shipping on October 20th but if you take advantage of the pre order sale, then you can save $44 on the Retay CS9 by ordering it now. The Retay CS9 is available in Matte Black and Satin finish.
The Retay CS9 is a nice copy of the Smith & Wesson CS9 compact semi auto pistol. It is a mostly all metal 9mm P.A.K. blank shooter that is front firing and comes in a hard shell case with a flare adaptor. Additionally it utilizes a de-cocker and fires in single action only.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman - Kimar CK92 is absolutely excellent! Single action is very light and smooth and double action is almost exactly the same. The CK92 has one of the lightest and smoothest double action trigers out of all my airguns and that's saying a lot!
Accuracy: I shot the Crosman - Kimar CK92 air pistol at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and it performed well getting about a two inch grouping right close to the center, just to the right. Most of the rounds stayed in a one inch group while two rounds strayed away a bit. I had a very awkward grip due to my camera mount so I know this guns should get closer to a one inch grouping with some getting used to it and using a standard grip. The rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation so hitting the bullseye would not take much work. My Chronograph testing started out a bit rough due to the 10 year absence of shooting this gun but once I blew out some of the cobwebs it settled in at around the 350 fps mark and I was also able to get 10 magazines worth of shots before I noticed a drop in performance.
Build Quality: The Crosman- Kimar CK92 is built like a tank, it is probably one of my heaviest pellet pistols weighing in at 2.6 pounds! The build quality and craftsmanship is very nice with most of the gun being made out of metal and only a couple parts made from plastic like the grips and part of the rear sight. You can really feel the quality of this gun when you pick it up and squeeze the trigger a few times.
Realism:The CK92 pellet air pistol is a very nice copy of the real steel Beretta 92FS and considering it was made some 10 years ago when most replica air guns still looked mostly like air guns. You really have to give Crosman and Kimar credit for making this gun so close to the actual Beretta 92FS. Everything is exactly where it would normally be on the real Beretta and most of the mechanical part are functional, even if they serve a different purpose as it is an airgun after all.
The price is right, especially for this condition of collectors item!
All metal very heavy and well made gun.
Pellet shooting with a rifled barrel.
Fully adjustable rear sight with windage and elevation.
Decent accuracy and power and CO2 usage.
CO2 screw and tab are hidden in the handle.
Excellent trigger pull in both single and double action.
Very good Beretta 92FS replica.
Comes in a plastic case.
Rare collectors opportunity.
Made in Italy
Cons:
Have to use narrow headed CO2, can be a bit tricky to load until you get used to it
This is a 10 year old gun and hard to tell how reliable it will be because of its age?
When they are gone, they are gone! No more in this kind of shape.
Comments:
This was a very different review for me to do, a part of me wanted to just put my two CK92's away in a safe place and just keep them as collectors guns but I was also very curious to see if the CK92 performed as well as it looked and felt. Curiosity got the best of me as you can see and I am glad I ended up testing at least my Chrome CK92 because it was a real joy to shoot and it didn't let me down in any way. I am not going to recommend the CK92 airgun for anyone who plans to shot it regularly because I really believe that 10 year old valves and seals have a lot more potential to fail then a new airgun and getting replacement part will not be easy for this very fine air pistol. That said, you may get lucky because it's a very well made air gun. Personally I am going to put both my Chrome and Black Crosman - Kimar CK92's in a nice safe place and treasure them like you would anything rare and valuable. I think these guns are selling at a steel of a price right now and when they are all gone I just know people will be offering me several times the price I paid for my personal Chrome and Black Crosman - Kimar CK92's, and I will tell you my answer right now... Sorry, these guns are not for sale.
I just got three new 9mm P.A.K. Blank guns to look over. These ones are from Retay, another Turkish company. Retay makes a Smith and Wesson CS9 copy, a Sig Suaer P228 copy, and a Dessert Eagle copy. And I have to say they look pretty darn good on first impression. Now I know I'm going to be getting emailed like crazy about whether we are going to be carrying these guns and you're just going to have to wait to find out. So stay tuned for more information to follow...
