Type: Non-blowback CO2 BB Pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by Daisy.
Model: Powerline 5170.
Materials: Metal & plastic.
Weight: 1.8 pounds.
Barrel: Smooth bore goes entire length of much compensator.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto non-blowback, double action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 21 round drop out plastic magazine.
FPS: Claimed 520.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol is that of a Double Action only Trigger and so you will expect it to be on the long side. That said it is smooth all the way through the pull and no overly heavy. It also has a rather satisfying feeling that I can only explain as a feeling that you are working well put together internal metal parts.

Accuracy & Power: At this point I have not shot the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol so I can only quote what Daisy is saying in terms of velocity which is rather optimistic 520fps. This sounds high but we will have to see when I get to the Field Test Shooting Review for the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol.

Build Quality: The Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol seems to be decently made for a mostly plastic airgun. Like I said the metal trigger feels solid and it also has a metal safety which is nice, other than that all other external parts are plastic but it does feel like there are a lot of metal internal parts based on the weight. I would have liked to see more metal in the magazine as it does feel to be the cheapest part of the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol.

Realism: The Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol is basically a replica of a 1911 in most ways. It does have a shorter slide than a standard 1911 but the compensator adds a lot of length back to the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol. The working safety is out of place for a 1911 since it is located where the slide catch would be and does not even look like a 1911 slide catch. The location where the real 1911 safety would be has a moulded in non-working safety. Not to be overly picky but the trigger on a 1911 is also totally different since it would be a very short single action only trigger. The only working parts on the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol are the trigger, safety and magazine release.

Available From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Fairly low cost with what looks to be decent fps and hopefully good accuracy.

• Has an added compensator that extends the barrel internally.

• Double action trigger is very smooth and satisfying feel to it.

• Comes with sight rail for addition of top, bottom and side Weaver accessories.

• Safety actually looks like part of the gun even though not a 1911 style lever.

• CO2 tab is well hidden by magazine but plate.

• Weight and feel of gun are pretty good considering so much plastic. 

• Pretty decent replica of a Colt 1911.

• Made in Japan.

Cons:

• Will need an optical sight of some sort or will have to take off sight rail to use built in sights.

• Drop out magazine is all plastic.

• Not many working parts.

Comments:

I’m not really a big fan of all plastic non-blowback airguns but I am willing to give the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol a chance since it does have some things going for it like high fps which I know is important to many of you. The Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol also has a really nice double action trigger which should make shooting it easy and fun. The sight rail also gives the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol a lot of versatility when it comes to making the Daisy Powerline 5170 your own by adding on pretty much any accessory you can imagine.

In a way I have already Field Tested the Air Venturi TR5 .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle, well at least in the Baikal version. The Air Venturi version is pretty much a knock of of the Baikal IZH MP-61 which not only look a lot alike but also performed very similarly for me, checkout my Baikal YouTube Video Review for comparison. All that said we can not get Baikal products here in North America anymore so it’s great that Air Venturi has recreated a very similar product for us to have in Canada and the US.

View fullsize

Moving on to the Field Test Review for the Air Venturi TR5 .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle, I first placed 5 shots through my Chronograph to see if the Air Venturi TR5 .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle did in fact shoot around 500 fps and in fact I was able to get all 5 shots up and over 500 fps averaging around 513 fps. Still within our Non-regulated firearm laws here in Canada since we where still under the 4.2 foot pound energy limit using 6.9 grain pellets.

View fullsize

When it came to accuracy I would have liked to have tested out the Air Venturi TR5 .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle over a longer range but in my Sea Can I have a max 30 feet range limit which does give us a decent idea on what to expect for the Air Venturi TR5 .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle. I again shot 5 rounds using the Air Venturi TR5 .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle into my paper target since it has a 5 round magazine. I am not the best springer shooter but I think I did OK as I was able tonged a 1 inch grouping from the Air Venturi TR5 .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle, with 4 of the rounds all within a half inch of each other.

View fullsize

As mentioned before when I shot the Baikal IZH MP-61 I was able to get very similar results but I did have an optical scope on the Baikal IZH MP-61 as compared to the Air Venturi TR5 .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle where I just used the open sights. In my opinion the Air Venturi TR5 .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle is good value for your money offering a unique design with excellent performance and getting as much power out of a pellet rifle as you can get here in Canada without requiring a firearms license.

It’s always fun shooting a Paintball Gun like the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol for a change but in this case it’s not all that different then shooting one of my BB or Airsoft pistols, with the acceptation of the .43 caliber rubber balls. I went with rubber balls rather than Paintballs inside my Sea Can Indoor Airguns Shooting Range to keep things clean. Actual Paintballs may have performed a little different than the rubber balls but this gives us a good idea on what the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is capable of

First, I put five rounds through my Chrony Chronograph to see what the real world FPS would be, keep in mind I was using rubber balls rather than paintballs and the rubber balls are a little bit heavier than paintballs so this could bring the FPS down a bit compared to the slightly lighter paintballs. Using a brand new CO2, the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol average 315 FPS which was higher than the claimed 290 FPS! Temperature inside my Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range was around 24 degrees Celsius or 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

View fullsize

Moving on to my accuracy testing, as per usual I positioned myself 30 feet back from my fresh paper target and using a seated and rested shooting position I shot a full magazine (8 rounds) of rubber balls on target with the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol. I was not expecting as tight groups as I would get using a BB or Airsoft pistol since Paintball guns are not known for super tight groups. I did manage to shoot around a 6 inch group with most of the shots staying within around 3 inches all pretty well centered. This is about what I was expecting as paintball guns are not meant for "target practicing", generally you are going to be shooting human sized objects and hoping to get some well placed center mass shots. 3-6 inch accuracy at 30 feet will get the job done for sure. I did find the trigger using rubber balls did have a bit more friction while the inner barrel seated itself into the magazine. When shooting quickly with the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol it is much less noticeable and overal the trigger is not bad.

I know some of you are going to ask about using the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol with rubber balls for non-lethal self defense and the reality is it will not stop a person who is determined on hurting you. There is simply not enough stoping power here. Will it a lot if you get shot up close with one of these Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistols especially directly on the skin ? For sure but a well timed punch has more chance of dropping someone than a .43 caliber rubber ball moving at around 300 FPS. You may scare someone off simply by brandishing it but you take the chance of the person calling your bluff. Perhaps 8 rubber balls to the face will change their mind but that's a chance you have to figure out if you want to take or not.

The Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is on par with the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol for being about the best I have seen in terms of replica paintball guns. It is as good as they come for realism. In terms of power and accuracy I was very pleases with the results I got. Throw in some extra magazines and you have yourself a nice trainer.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol feels a lot like a double action trigger mainly because when you pull the trigger the inner barrel travels backwards into the magazine which seals off the barrel form the magazine so less CO2 is wasted going it not the magazine and also placing a paintball round in the barrel. This does make the trigger a little bit longer and heavier than a single action trigger. I believe the internal hammer/striker is engaged from the blowback action.

View fullsize

Accuracy: So far I have not had the opportunity to test the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol out so stay posted for my future Field Test Shooting Video where I will see what kind of fps and accuracy we can expect from the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol. You can watch my Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol as it is very similar in design..

Build Quality: The build quality of the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is really very good, metal parts are where you would expect them, the slide, slide catch, barrel, magazine and most internal parts giving the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol a nice near 2 pounds (1.7 pounds) of weight with the magazine in which makes the Paintball version a little heavier than the real steal version (1.54 pounds) but once the real steal version is loaded with a full mag this may even out a bit. The Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol does have a polymer frame but again this is normal with todays modern guns and helps keep the weight down. Fit and finish is also very good!

Realism: The Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol  is a near perfect replica of the real steel S&W M&P9 M2.0 Pistol, from the fully licensed markings to the large .43 caliber diameter barrel. If you placed the Paintball version side by side with the real steel version I doubt you could tell them apart unless you start inspecting it really close up and working the action. You will find that the slide cycle distance is a bit shorter than it would be meaning that when the side catch is engaged the slide does not go as far back as it the real 9mm S&W M&P9 M2.0. Field stripping the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol will requires some tools and pin removal.

Pros:

• Really great weight and solid feeling gun.

• Full Metal slide that locks back on the last shot.

• All metal heavy full size drop out magazine adds some additional weight to the gun.

• Very Accurate S&W M&P9 M2.0 replica, almost indistinguishable from the real still version.

• Everything works pretty much like the real gun so a great training tool.

• Adjustable yellow dot sights.

• Working trigger safety.

• Fit and finish is excellent.

• Magazine spring release really shoots the magazine out.

• Love the .43 caliber barrel opening, adds to realism.

View fullsize

Cons:

• Trigger is a bit long as it shoots like a double action trigger, this is because the inner barrel has to travel back into the magazine before firing.

• Magazine only holds 8 rounds, so you are going to need extra magazines for sure.

• Blowback action is not full blowback, more like a typical half blowback BB gun.

Comments:

The Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is mechanically very close to the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol in how it functions as a Paintball Pistol so I expect both to shoot very similarly and that’s not a bad thing since the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol performed rather well for me in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Shooting Range. I like that the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol come with additional back-straps to fit any sized hands and overall I feel it would make a great training tool since the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol as it looks, feels and functions just like a real 9mm S&W M&P9 M2.0.

Another Field Test Shooting Video Review coming for the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Airgun Shooting Range! In todays Shooting Review I test out the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver using both 4.5mm 5/1 grain Steel BB’s and .177 Caliber 6.9 grain Lead Pellets to see how well they perform in velocity and accuracy. As always I use a brand new CO2 for my velocity testing and for reference the temperature during my testing in the Sea Can was 23 degrees Celsius or 73 degrees Fahrenheit. For my accuracy portion of the shooting test I use a rested and seated shooting position shot 30 feet away from my fresh paper targets.

View fullsize

Starting off with the velocity or power potion of my Field Test Shooting Video for the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver. I first used the 4.5mm Steel BB shells and shot 3 rounds through my Chronograph averaging 369 fps. I then loaded up the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver with pellet shells and again placed three .177 caliber lead pellets through my Chrony and got a very similar result with an average of 361 fps. Keep in mind the lead pellets where 6.9 grain versus the steel BB’s at only 5.1 grain, so the lead pellets will be carrying more raw energy at the point of impact even though they where going just a tad bit slower than the steel BB’s.

View fullsize

In terms of accuracy both rounds performed about the same shooting at my paper target 30 feet away. Since the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver has a 6 round cylinder I shot 6 sounds for each test, 6 steel BB’s and then 6 lead pellets. I also changed the targets for each type of ammo between reloading. I found the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver shot fairly close to the bullseye, l but with both the Steel BB’s and lead pellets I got one outlier that spread out my groupings significantly, the other 5 rounds where all close being about 2 inches apart? Perhaps it was a bad or misshaped round, or maybe even me ;) I did notice the lead pellets seemed to have a really nice 4 round group out of the 6 that all fell within the bullseye. Hard to really say if BB’s or pellets performed better than the other one at least in my testing.

View fullsize

Overall the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver shot well for me, the trigger is nice and short and light making placing your shots easy, of course since it is a single action only trigger you kind of need to reset yourself between every shot which can effect groupings just a bit. Since the barrel is not rifled with no danger of damaging the rifling, you can really shoot what ever ammo type you feel like shooting or have on hand and since Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolvers get about the same speed and accuracy then it really doesn’t matter that much at the end of the day!

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the single action only Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is what you would expect from a pistol of this design. Like the Colt Single Action Army the trigger pull is very short, light and crips, perfect for taking your time and getting a precise shot on target. You will of course have to cock the hammer manually before each shot ao no real action shooting.

View fullsize

Accuracy: I have not tested the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Airgun Range but plan to get to it shortly. I will test out both 4.5mm Steel BB’s and some .177 caliber lead Pellets and see how the different ammo types effect both power and accuracy. Keep in mind the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver has a smooth bore barrel but I am pretty sure pellets will still perform well at 30 feet away.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is built a lot like the Webley MK VI .455 CO2 Shell Loading Revolver line, perhaps even made in the same factory in Taiwan? The Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is pretty much an all metal construction other than the plastic grips and any internal seals. The fit and finish is excellent with a great overall weight in the hand. The pistol grips is a lot like what you have with the Colt Single Action Army pistol but the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is a lot more front end heavy because of its beefy barrel.

View fullsize

Realism: In terms of replicating a real steel Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver for sure looks and feels that part. The reassessed barrel and well hidden CO2 screw don’t give anything away that the Airgun version is not the real deal. But as with all of these shell loading Airgun Revolvers, the shells are actually closer to a .380 Caliber in diameter rather than a 45 which is what the real steel Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver would be designed for.

Available in the: Replica Airguns Store

View fullsize

Pros:

• If you are like a bulky revolver with good weight to it then the Bear River Schofield No. 3 is it.

• Can shoot Steel BB’s or Pellets since it comers with both shell types.

• Recessed barrel.

• Well concealed CO2.

• Shell loading design that loads from the back so no need to remove shells if you wish not to.

• Single Action Only hammer and trigger action feel good, nice and light with short take-up and release.

• Fairly discreet safety location right behind the hammer so easy to get at.

• Super easy to load, pellet shells can even be reloaded with shells in the gun if you are using the pellet shells.

• Really like the Nickel Finish on this gun.

• Can get simulated Ivory grips for it if you prefer that look.

Cons:

• Sights are not adjustable.

• Warning instructions on side of the frame.

• Barrel is not rifled for pellet use?

• Only a Single Action Only Hammer and Trigger but true to the style of the gun.

Comments:

Yet another classic shell loading CO2 BB Revolver, and again the more the merrier in my option! I like that you get 12 shells with our kit version, 6 removable shells for 4.5mm Steel BB’s and 6 removable shells for .177 caliber Pellets. The Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is for sure a hefty revolver but the pistol grip is not super large so even people with smaller hands should not have a problem shooting the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver. The real problem is deciding which Shell Loading Airgun Revolver to buy now since we have so many to choose from… Classic or modern, nickel or black, or perhaps weathered?

Here we have three very different products I Unbox and Preview for everyone. A Spring Piston multi-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle, a single action BB/Pellet revolver that’s not a Colt! And a really nice looking Semi Auto Blank Pistol in a Chrome finish.

View fullsize

Let’s start with the Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle. I think this is a really well thought out Air Rifle. It’s “almost a Bullpup” in design but it does actually load in front of the trigger just a bit, that said most of the spring piston is behind the trigger setup making it really compact yet with a longer than normal barrel compared to regular Break Barrel Spring Piston Air Rifles. The Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle also has a side lever cocking mechanism along with a 5 round auto indexing magazine which makes it much quicker to cock and reload for fast follow-up shots, again compared to a standard Break Barrel Air Rifle, not to mention no barrel droop! The Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle has a claimed fps of up to 500 so we are getting the max amount of velocity possible for our Canadian laws without making it a regulated firearm and requiring a PAL license. And by the way the Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle does come in both a Lime Green and all Black version just in case you are not a fan of the Lime Green finish I show in this video.

View fullsize

Moving onto the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica, if you like single action revolvers then take a look at the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica. It’s a lot more bulky than a Colt Single Action Revolver and also has that top Break design that makes reloading quick and easy. The version we are selling inner Replica Airgun Online Store is the kit version that comes with 6 BB shells and 6 pellet shells so you can take your pick on ammo types. The barrel is not rifled so Steel BB’s will not hurt the Airgun and since pellets are skirted they do not need a rifled barrel to fly straight and true. You can expect around 445 fps for the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica.

Last up is one of my favorite Blank firing Semi Auto Pistols which I have already full reviews in the all Black version so checkout those Video Reviews for more info on the ROHM RG-88 line of Front Firing 9mm Blank Pistols. All I really wanted to show you guys with the ROHM RG-88 9mm PAK Blank Pistol in Polished Chrome is how awesome it looked with the Polished Chrome finish and that we do have more choices now than we use to have in terms of what finish you can get your ROHM RG-88 in. Personally I like the Polished Chrome finish the best but you can also get it in all Black and Matte Chrome, so you decide which one you like the best.

I don’t do a lot of paintball gun reviews, they just don’t come across my table all that often so it’s a lot fo fun when I do get the chance to shoot some beefier caliber ammunition in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Airgun Shooting Range. Of course I use rubber ball ammo rather than standard paintball rounds in order to keep the mess to a minimum.

I have not done my Table Top YouTube Video Review yet for the Umarex T4E HDS Double Barrel CO2 Paintball Shotgun but you can checkout a Preview Video for now. In Summary the Umarex T4E HDS Double Barrel CO2 Paintball Shotgun is a pretty much exactly what the name says. It’s basically a sawn off pistol grip styled double barrel shotgun that uses CO2 and shoots .68 caliber paintballs. You have a selector for shooting either out of the left or right barrel or if you want to can even both at the same time but this really slows down the fps so I would not advise it with the 200 fps version that I was testing with.

View fullsize

Now on to the actual testing of the Umarex T4E HDS Double Barrel CO2 Paintball Shotgun! As alway I like to find out how close to the factory claimed fps I will get. Umarex claims around 200 fps for this version which is around 7.5 Joules of energy, apparently there is a 16 Joules version that shoots closer to 300 fps but we do not carry it at least right now. I put a couple fo rounds through my Umarex T4E HDS Double Barrel CO2 Paintball Shotgun using rubber ball paintballs which will be a little bit heavier than a standard paintballs and my first shot yielded 180 fps, my second shot was slightly higher at 184 fps so pretty close to the claimed 200 fps and that was in not the warmest of environments since the temperature in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Airgun Shooting Range was only 16 Degrees Celsius (60 Degrees Fahrenheit).

View fullsize

Next up it was time to see how the Umarex T4E HDS Double Barrel CO2 Paintball Shotgun performed shooting at a target setup 30 feet away. Since there are no actual sights on the Umarex T4E HDS Double Barrel CO2 Paintball Shotgun I had to kind eyeball it and as I shot it more and more I was able to get my shots closer to the center of the target. The Umarex T4E HDS Double Barrel CO2 Paintball Shotgun is not a tac driver but at 30 feet out you should be able to hit an 8-10 inch target pretty consistently. I don’t recommend using the double shot option since the same amount of CO2 is applied to both rounds that would normally be applied to one round decreasing the fps by about half making the paintball rounds shoot a lot slower and not really being that effective. This may be an option with the higher 300 fps version of the Umarex T4E HDS Double Barrel CO2 Paintball Shotgun.

So all in all I had a lot of fun shooting the Umarex T4E HDS Double Barrel CO2 Paintball Shotgun, it’s kind of like a big boy Nerf Gun that you can take onto the paintball field if you wanted to. For home defense I think it is a bit underpowered but there may be a little bit of shock factor that could slow someone down or deter them enough to either give you time get away or take shelter somewhere safe. Maybe using the pepper rounds would work OK in this situation? Either way the Umarex T4E HDS Double Barrel CO2 Paintball Shotgun is a really cool and unique CO2 Airgun that is not overly expensive and a welcome addition to any Airgun enthusiasts collection.

If you have not already checked out my Table Top Video then make sure to do so for more details and specifications and also some nice close up video of the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. In this video we see how well the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol performs in the Replica Airguns Indoor See Can Airgun Shooting Range. I test out the velocity and accuracy and also talk a little bit about how the gun performed overall for me. You can also checkout my Table Top and Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Glock 17 3rd Gen as it is mechanically very similar to the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol.

Starting off with my velocity power test using my  Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph, I was able to get really close to the factory claimed fps of 360 with an average of 347 fps. Shooting conditions where decent in the See Can compared to outside temperatures in late October but still not that warm at only 16 Degrees Celsius (60 Degrees Fahrenheit), a lot warmer than outside but still not as warm as your typical summer day. In warmer conditions I am sure I would have hit the claimed 360 or even high fps with the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol.

Next for my Field Testing , I placed 10 shots into a paper target with my Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol from 30 feet down range using my standard seated and rested shooting position (Seated in the back and rested on a sand bag up front). I was able to get right around a 2 inch 10 shot group, not bad at all! The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol did shoot a little bit high and to the left which for some reason is common with most CO2 action airguns and I know it’s not entirely me since others have commented the their airguns shoot a bit to the left in most cases. Elevation was pretty close at 30 feet but just a tad high.

The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is very similar to their Umarex Glock 17 3rd Gen in terms of their mechanical build and function since both use the same magazines and have that semi blowback action but I can say the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol not only looks better in my opinion but the slide is improved as it seems to have a less metallic sound and the slide wiggle is very minimal. The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol also did not lack in the performance department getting really close to the the claimed 360 FPS while shooting about the same 10 round grouping of 2 inches which is about what I expect for an action BB shooter. Now we have a bunch of Umarex Glocks to chooses from, checkout our Replica Airguns Canada and US Online Stores for Glock airguns and find one that’s right for you!

The Umarex T4E HDS Double Barrel .68 caliber CO2 Paintball Shotgun is a two shot short barrelled that could come in handy for CQB engagements but it looks to be designed also as a none lethal home defence weapon since you can load a CO2 without piercing it but when in a bind you simply hit the CO2 screw and it pierces the CO2 activating the gun for instant use. I will have to test this one out to see if it really has enough power to stop an intrude, after all you only get two shots so they better count!

And then we have two Diana Match Grade CO2 Bolt Action Pellet Pistols, both has a similar bolt, sights, barrel and trigger setup but with the Diana Bandit you get a wooden grips, an included 10 shot rotary magazine and it’s PCP powered so you will need a compressor or a pump to use it. The Diana Chaser on the other hand is CO2 powered, has a plastic pistol grip and does not include the 10 shot rotary magazine but you can buy it later on if you get bored loading one round at a time into the breach. I expect both of these pistols to be tack drivers!

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

View fullsize

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is what I would call a double action trigger mainly because there is an indexing of the BB from the magazine into the breach area every time you pull the trigger which means the take up is longer thanks a standard Glock take up and there is a little bit of friction from the mechanical mechanism that indexes the BB making the trigger feel more like a double action only trigger.

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol so I can only quote what Umarex is saying in terms of FP2 which is 360. That said I have already done a full Table Top and Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol which is essentially the same mechanical gun but with a slightly longer slide and barrel. In my Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol I was able to get a 5 shot average fps of 363 in a bit cooler shooting conditions along with 2 inch 10 shot grouping from a 30 foot shooting distance.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol seems to be really well made. Fit and finish are nice and slide wiggle is minimal. There is a bit of a clanky sound when the slide cycles but not as bad as the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. I also think the Coyote finish is the nicest looking with its black on tan two tone look.

Realism: The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol absolutely looks the part of a Glock 19X, sitting on the table and even holding it in your hand you are going to think it's the real deal until of course you drop the magazine and see that it is a CO2 mag. Mostly everything operates like a real Glock 17 but the slide is not a full blowback meaning it only goes back about 3/4 as much as a real Glock 17 slide would. One other noticeable difference is the ability to quickly field strip the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol, you will need to remove a pin since the take down tabs are non functioning and moulded into the frame.

Pros:

• Nice weight and feel to it, build quality seems good.

• Really nice looking replica of the real steel Glock 19X, love the Coyote color.

• Fully Glock licensed.

• Easy to see white dot sights front and back.

• Recessed barrel for added realism.

• Accessory rail for adding a laser or tactical light.

• Full size drop out metal magazine that holds the CO2 and 18 4.5mm steel BB’s.

• Safety built into the serial number plate area keeps it well hidden. 

• Warning instruction are nice and discreet under trigger guard

• Not bad feeling double action only trigger as the blowback pre-cocks the internal hammer/strike.

• 360 fps is decent for a blowback BB gun.

Cons:

• Does have blowback action but not full blowback.

• Slide sound is a bit clanky but not as bad as the 17 Gen 3 Blowback.

• Sight are non-adjustable which is common with low cost action shooters like this one.

• Would have liked to have seen more pristine packaging from Glock over the plastic clamshell

Comments:

It’s great to see Umarex expanding their live of Glock licensed Airguns and the addition of the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is welcome! Some of you are not going to like the semi blowback action but it does mean you get higher fps and more shots per CO2 while still getting that simulated recoil form the blowback action. I honestly thing the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is one of the most attractive Glock Airguns with it’s Coyote Tan frame and slide with black highlights, I also like the compact size for its shortened frame and slide over the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. So many to choose for now but I guess that a good thing or perhaps just get them all!

What’s going on next week?

I will be away competing in a Body Building Fitness Contest so there will not be any more videos that week.

You may have noticed I have been withering away this past couple of months. This is in preparation for a Fitness Contest I am going into. For a show like this you need to be super lean to be competitive.

I have been competing since 2015 mainly in Men’s Physique and have qualified myself over the years to compete at the National level in Amateur Body Building.

The competition I am going to is the GNC / ALLMAX Canadian National Pro Qualifier in Toronto. If I do really well I can possibly get an IFBB Pro Card. Getting an IFBB Pro Card means I would now be able to compete in Pro Body Building competitions.

In order to win the Pro Card I would need to win my hight class and then win the overalls against the other winners in their hight class.

To date I have come close to winning the IFFB Pro Card but just missed it on two occasions. I am hoping to get the IFBB Pro Card this times around but I know the competition will be very competitive.

Type: GBB Airsoft Pistol.
Manufacturer: Made by Tokyo Marui.
Model: FNX-45 Tactical.
Materials: Mostly polymer with metal components.
Weight: 1.8 pounds (830 grams).
Barrel: 4.4 inches metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: Green gas.
Action: Semi auto blowback, singled double action trigger.
Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 29 round drop out full size metal magazine.
FPS: Claimed 366.

View fullsize

Trigger Pull: The single action trigger pull on the Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is light and smooth with just a bit of take-up and a crisp release. You can also shoot in double action, as expected the trigger pull in double action will be longer and heavier but it’s still pretty smooth and not at all heavy.

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol so I have no idea what the actual fps is and how accurate it may be but I can say I like the feel of how it dry fires so if that’s any indication as to how well it performs then I have high hopes for the Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol even though on the outside it’s all plastic (Slide and frame), the quality is fantastic, fit and finish is top notch everywhere and you will find metal parts where they need to be as in the inner and outer barrel, trigger, hammer, slide catch release, back strap safety, trigger group and many more internal parts.

View fullsize

Realism: The Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is virtually an exact replica of a Real Steel FNX-45 Tactical, looking at photos online of the powder burning version it is nearly impossible to tell them apart. You will find FN licensing in all the right places but keep in mind Tokyo Marui does not actually hold an FN license so yours will come with black stickers over the FN markings. Easy enough to take off :) In terms of functionality the Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol operated pretty much exactly like the real steel version including the ability to field strip it for easy Hop-up adjustments.

View fullsize

Pros:

• Ultra realistic Replica of the FNX-45 with authentic markings.

• Removable slide cover allows mounting of red dot sight.

• 16mm CW threaded barrel is mock suppressor-ready.

• Multiple grip backstraps for a custom fit to your hand size.

• Overall quality, fit and finish is excellent.

• Easy to see white dot sights front and back.

• Full size full metal magazine.

• Ambidextrous safety, slide catch and magazine release.

• Can easily put a mock suppressor on it.

• Comes with additional internal barrel lengths for a mock suppressor or no meat tenderizer setup.

• All mechanical parts work just like a steel FNX-45.

• Super fast blowback action, great for action shooting.

Cons:

• Mostly all plastic build.

• Not actually licensed by Tokyo Marui.

Comments:

I am really liking the Tokyo Marui product line and welcome it to our Canada Replica Airguns Store. The Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is one the nicest quality Airsoft guns I have reviewed so far, it really is a work of art. The only thing that would be nice is a metal slide but I can live without it since everything else about the gun is nearly perfect! The Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is really built for everyone, left hand or right handed, large or small hands, the full set of ambidextrous controls and interchangeable back-straps will take care of you.

Trigger Pull: The single action only trigger pull on the Tokyo Marui Strike Warrior .45 1911 GBB Airsoft Pistol is extremely nice, there is virtually zero take-up with a light and easy release. You can really hammer out quick shots with this Airsoft pistol. One of the best 1911 triggers I have tested so far.

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the Tokyo Marui Strike Warrior .45 1911 GBB Airsoft Pistol so I have no idea what the actual fps is and how accurate it may be but I can say I like the feel of how it dry fires so if that’s any indication as to how well it performs then I have high hopes for the Tokyo Marui Strike Warrior .45 1911 GBB Airsoft Pistol.

Realism: The Tokyo Marui Strike Warrior .45 1911 GBB Airsoft Pistol is built on the Colt 45 1911 design but as you can see it comes in a compact version with a very tactical and aggressive look. You can tone it down a bit by removing the “Meat Tenderize” from the front basically turning it into a straight forward Tactical 1911 Compact version.

• Custom Detonics style slide and outer barrel.

Comments:

This is my first real experience with a Tokyo Marui product and I have to say I am very impressed with their build quality and design. Even though the slide and frame are plastic, there is enough metal going on in this Airsoft pistol to give it decent enough weight and feel. I really like what Tokyo Marui did with the styling of the Tokyo Marui Strike Warrior .45 1911 GBB Airsoft Pistol with the Meat tenderizer-like Strike Face muzzle, squared-off trigger guard and overall tactical look and feel. A great addition to the Replica Airguns Canada Online Store!

I though I would feature the fact that we recently added some of the Tokyo Marui product line to our Canada Replica Airguns Store. Tokyo Marui is said to be one of the best Airsoft products on the market and they have been around for a while so they have had time to get it right! As Tokyo Marui is a Japanese based company they are restricted to only being able to use plastic frames and slides but even with this limitation the Tokyo Marui products that I have personally looked at are extremely well made.

In this Tokyo Marui New Product Preview Unboxing Video I take a look at 4 Tokyo Marui models; the Tokyo Marui Strike Warrior .45 1911 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol, the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 D.O.R (Direct Optics Ready) GBB Airsoft Pistol, the Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol and lastly the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle.

Type: CO2 Bolt action pellet pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by Webley.
Model: Webley Nemesis.
Materials: Metal & Polymer.
Weight: 2 pounds (907 grams).
Barrel: 6.25 inches metal rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Bolt action repeater, single action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: .177 / .22 caliber pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: 14/ 12 round double sided rotary magazines.
FPS: Claimed 430 / 370.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol is rather good, there is just a little bit of take up with a light and crisp release. You will have to work the bolt to engage the internal hammer for single action only shooting.

View fullsize

Accuracy: This is one of those times when I actually have already done my Field Test Shooting Video for the Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol and it performed well. My test version was the .177 caliber model with a claimed fps of 430 and I got exactly that with a 5 shot average sting on my Chronograph. I was using 6.9 grain lead pellets so not the lightest or heaviest pellets. I then placed 14 rounds into my paper target setup 30 feet down range and proceeded to get a 1.5 inch 14 round grouping. That’s with no previous time shooting this Airgun so I know it is for sure capable of sub 1 inch grouping with open sights. Keep in mind you can mount a laser, red dot or optical sight on this Airgun very easily for even better potential accuracy!

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol on the outside is pretty much an all plastic Airgun but it does have good weight to it at 2 pounds so there must be a fair amount of internal metal parts. The barrel and bolt for sure are metal! The plastic does seem very good quality with nice fit and finish throughout the Airgun.

View fullsize

Realism: The Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol is not styled specially to look like any particular one gun but I have to say it does have an overall Glock look to it but in a much larger form factor. For a CO2 bolt Action Pellet Pistol it is fairly modern looking compered to other target styled pellet pistols out there.
Available From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• First multi-shot rotary mag CO2 Pellet pistol I have come across.

• Good accuracy and power!

• Can add a red dot or optical sight to it using the top built in Dovetail rail.

• Can add a laser or tac light using the bottom built in Weaver Picatinny rail.

• Has a nice modern look to it for a target pellet pistol.

• Rifled steel barrel.

• Fiber optic sights adjustable for windage.

• Nice light and short single action trigger.

• Allen key and magazine storage compartment built into airgun.

• Would be good for small pest control because of decent fps and good accuracy.

Cons:

• Doesn’t like all pellet sections.

• Sights are not adjustable for elevation.

Comments:

The Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol is not really a Replica Airgun so to speak but it’s nice to shoot a dedicated target pellet pistol once in a while and the Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol is that for sure but with a more modern and cool looking exterior than most. The Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol is also one of the first bolt action Air pistols I have come across that has a rotary magazine which combined with decent power and accuracy could make it usable for small pest control since you do have quick follow up shots just in case the first shot doesn't get the job done. I will say the Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol is a bit pellet picky especially if the skirting on your pellet choice is narrow. I would advise you to choose a more chunky pellet with a wider skirt which will make magazine indexing smooth and consistent.

In this Field Test Shooting Video I focus on Umarex’s latest CO2 Blowback BB Airgun, the Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. We have been waiting a while for this one to ship and now that it’s here I really want to get to shooting it and finding out if it performed as good as it looked and felt.

I loaded up my Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol with a brand new 12 gram Sig Sauer CO2 cartridges along with some 4.5mm RWS 5.1 grain Zinc coated BB’s and began the Chronograph portion of my Indoor Field Test Shooting Video. The temperature was not overly warm sitting right around 19 degrees Celsius or 66 degrees Fahrenheit. Umarex claims roughly around 300 fps from the Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol but I was able to get just a bit high with my 5 shots through the Chronograph averaging 310 fps.

View fullsize

I then put up a paper target 30 feet down range, reloaded my full size drop out metal magazine with 10 more steel BB’s and proceeded to carefully place the 10 shots into the target using a rested and seated shooting position. I was able to get around a 3.5 inch grouping but I feel I could have done better since several rounds actually shot one on top of the other. The Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol did shot just a little bit low and to the left but not a lot.

View fullsize

I really like the trigger on the Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol, it’s short and light, perfect for shot placement and also action shooting. The blowback action is nice and crisp giving the Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol just enough blowback recoil effect. I didn't have any issues with the Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol which makes for the best testing and out of all the Umarex Glocks to date the Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is by far my favorite version! If you already have and Umarex Glock, that’s OK get this one too, you won’t be disappointed.

Type: Blowback CO2 BB Pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by Umarex.
Model: Glock 17 Gen 4.
Materials: Metal & Polymer.
Weight: 1.7 pounds (771 grams).
Barrel: 3.6 inches metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto blowback, single action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 18 round drop out full size metal magazine.
FPS: Claimed 300.

View fullsize

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is single action only so you will need to rack the slide first to not only chamber a 4.5mm Steel BB in the breach area but to also cock the internal striker. There is a working trigger safety on the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol and you’ll also find the Glock 17 Gen 4 has a nice short and light trigger as you would expect similar to the real steel Glock. Perfect for fast action shooting!

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol so I can only quote what Umarex is saying in terms of FP2 which is 300. That sounds reasonable based on other Airguns like this that have that full blowback action since much of the CO2 gas is used to work the action of the slide. This not only reduces how many shots you can expect o get out of a single 12 gram CO2 cartridge but a reduction in power over non-blowback or even partial blowback CO2 Airguns.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol looks to be well made overall with metal and plastic parts where you would find them on a real steel Glock 17 Gen 4. Fit and finish are nice and the slide wiggle is next to zero. The slide spring is very heavy and the sound of the slide when racked and released does not have that cheap metallic sound some blowback Airguns have. I am expecting some pretty decent blowback action recoil from the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol when I do my Field Test Shooting Review!

Realism: The Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol 100% looks the part of a Glock 17 4th Generation, sitting on the table and even holding it in your hand you are going to think it's the real deal until of course you drop the magazine and see that it is a BB/CO2 mag. Mostly everything operates like a real Glock 17 including the slide catch release, trigger safety, magazine release and even the take down switches for quick field stripping and access to the adjustable hop-up, yes it is adjustable.

• Really nice looking and full featured replica of the original Glock 17 Gen 4.

• Fully Glock licensed through Umarex.

• Easy to see white dot sights front and back.

• Recessed barrel for added realism.

• Accessory rail for adding a laser or tactical light.

• Full size drop out metal magazine that holds the CO2 and 18 4.5mm steel BB’s.

• Slide spring feels heavier than most full blowback Airguns, should have a heavy blowback recoil effect.

• Safety built into the serial number plate area keeps it well hidden.

• Comes with additional Backstraps for different sized hands.

• Warning instruction are nice and discreet under trigger guard.

• Great feeling single action only trigger as the blowback pre-cocks the internal hammer/strike.

• 300 fps is decent for a full blowback BB gun.

Cons:

• FPS could be higher but fairly inline with other full blowback CO2 air pistols.

• Sight are non-adjustable which is common with low cost Airguns like this one.

• Would have liked to have seen more pristine packaging from Glock..

Comments:

I know everyone has been waiting for Umarex to release the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol and here it is finally, does it live up to all the hype and excitement? So far without shooting it I have to say yes, I am very pleased with how the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol looks and feels. There is not too much more you can ask for in a replica Airgun of any kind… it looks like the real steel version, it feels like there real steel version, it functions like there real steel version. Hopefully it shoots just as well! If you haven’t bought one of the Umarex Glocks so far then this one is the one to have, but I say why not have them all :)

Make sure to watch my Preview Table Top Review for the Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol if you’re looking for more specifications and details.

The Webley Nemesis is a really interesting CO2 Pellet Pistol, so far I have not reviewed an Airgun like it. Yes I have reviewed bolt action CO2 Pellet Pistols in the past but not one with a rotary magazine for much quicker followup shots. This is by no means as quick as a semi auto shooter but being able to quickly work the bolt action without having to manually place a pellet in the breach area sure does speed things up.

View fullsize

On the box Webley claims up to 420 fps with the ,177 caliber version the Webley Nemesis is a really interesting CO2 Pellet Pistol I was testing and I was able to get an average of 430 fps using a brand new CO2 along with RWS 6.9 grain lead pellets. I did find the RWS pellets I was using did not feed all that well perhaps because they had a fairly narrow waist on them which does effect the way pellets are held in the rotary magazine. The temperature was fairly normal at right around room temperature.

View fullsize

For my accuracy portion of the Field Test Shooting Video for the Webley Nemesis is a really interesting CO2 Pellet Pistol, I switched to Sig Sauer .177 caliber lead pellets and they worked much better in terms of chambering cleanly for me. I found the Webley Nemesis is a really interesting CO2 Pellet Pistol shot a bit high on my paper target placed 30 feet away, so I set my sights on the bottom ring which placed almost all my 14 shots right in the bullseye. My 14 shot string was grouping around 1.5 inches but I am sure the Webley Nemesis is a really interesting CO2 Pellet Pistol could shoot quarter sized objects at 30 feet downrange all day long once you get use to it.

The trigger on the Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol is one of the highlights of this air pistol, it really feels great. Combine this with nice high consistent fps and excellent accuracy and the Webley Nemesis is a really interesting CO2 Pellet Pistol is a great target shooter with potential for up close small pest control.

I’m going to start off by saying this Field Test Shooting Review for the G&G GPM1911 GBB Airsoft Pistol did not go all that well as I had some complications with this Airgun when chambering rounds. I am pretty sure it is magazine related and hope to try a different magazine with it soon. I say this because I am following through with my review regardless of my initial results to demonstrate that not all Airguns perform as expected during my reviews and sometimes you get a lemon even with a good quality brand like G&G.

I am fairly certain the defect in this case for the G&G GPM1911 GBB Airsoft Pistol was the magazine tip being too tight and not allowing an Airsoft BB to position all the way to the top of the magazine which means when the slide cycled and the nozzle was in position to push an Airsoft BB into the breach, it simple was hitting the top of the BB and pushing it even further into the magazine. All said and done I was able to test the fps and accuracy on target so let’s get on with my review.

Using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s with a fully filled propane gas magazine in my G&G GPM1911 GBB Airsoft Pistol, I was able to get 6 recoreded shots through my Chronograph averaging 319 fps. The slowest shot being 313 fps and the fastest shot hitting 330 fps. The temperature was right around room temperature so around 22 degrees Celsius or 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

As I was having issues with with the G&G GPM1911 GBB Airsoft Pistol chambering rounds with the .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. I was hoping that when I switched to a different .32 gram Airsoft BB for my target portion of this review that perhaps the different Airsoft BB’s would chamber better but they did not. To get through the target portion of my test, with each shot I had to drop the magazine, make sure the Airsoft BB’s was at the top of the magazine, rack the slide, insert the magazine and then release the slide. So as you can see I was resetting completely for each shot which does not always make for the tightest groupings. Surprisingly I was still able to get about a 1.5 inch grouping on my paper target setup 30 feet downrange using a rested and seated shooting position.

Not all reviews go as planned but you still have to make the best of it. I really feel the G&G GPM1911 GBB Airsoft Pistol is a good gun overall even though mine did not perform that well for me. When I was able to chamber a round it shot a consistent fps and placed Airsoft BB’s downrange accurately and very close to the bullseye. Perhaps simply by swapping out the magazine I will have a much more reliable Airsoft gun? I will have to get back to you on that one.
