I stepped it up a notch and have included not just one but two magazines with every SA177 so you can practice your quick magazine changes and just keep on shooting :) After all, isn't that what you really want to do?
Here 's some more info on the SA177 from Umarex:
The Umarex SA177 BB Repeater is modeled after the popular Glock carry pistol widely used by governmental agencies, and it uses blowback action to simulate a real firearm. The metal slide and integrated accessory rail add to the overall realism of this gun. A drop-out metal magazine houses the CO2 and 19 BBs for the air pistol. The fiber optic sights and ergonomic grips allow for accurate and comfortable shooting at up to 400 fps velocity which is very high for a gun in this price range and with blowback functionality.
Action: Semi auto non-blowback, double action only.
Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.
Ammunition Capacity: 21 rounds
FPS: 397
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms was about medium to hard but I have definitely experienced heavier trigger pulls on some guns. It is nice that the trigger is in the style of a 1911 and not your typical lever styled trigger. This may be one reason why the pull is a bit heavier on the GSR.
Accuracy: Accuracy was decent but not outstanding, I got around a 2.5 inch grouping from a 20 foot away free standing position, shooting just to the left and high on the target. I did find that I was able to zone in a bit better with the Cybergun GSR as I got used to the trigger. I also put the Cybergun Sig Sauer GSR through my Chrony Chronograph and got very close the manufacturers 397 claimed feet per second, actually starting off well above it and settling down to around the 370 FPS mark. My 8 shot average on a new CO2 was actually 422 FPS.
Build Quality: Very good, this is an almost all metal gun with a few exceptions like the hammer, trigger. magazine release, slide catch and the outer barrel. Pretty much everything else is metal including the slide, frame, magazine, and even the grips. The finish is very good and the Cybergun GSR worked flawlessly for me.
Realism:The Cybergun Sig Sauer GSR is very close to the look, weight, and feel of the real GSR Sigarms! Even the 1911 style trigger was used and licensed trademarks on the slide. It would have been nice to have a single action trigger and a working slide to finish off the illusion but overall the GSR is a really nice copy of the real steel Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms firearm.
Very Accurate Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms with licensing.
Nice high fps results close to manufacturers specifications.
Very affordable and good value for the money.
Lots of shots per CO2.
Nice sights with white dots front and back.
Magazine holds both the CO2 and BB's - always nice.
Recessed barrel for added realism.
True 1911 style trigger even though it is double action only.
Cons:
Non-blowback and the slide does not move either.
The hammer is only for show and does not cock for single action shots.
Non adjustable rear sights.
Trigger action is bit on the heavy side.
Comments:
I ordered my Cybergun Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms with two other Cybergun pistols (The Jericho 941 and Sig Sauer SP2022), all of them in the lower and more affordable price point, the GSR is the heaviest out of the bunch, most likely because of the metal frame. For a relatively inexpensive BB gun you get a lot for your money, most importantly a very accurate reproduction of the real GSR Sigarms firearm! If you're a 1911 fan and want to pick up an airgun that won't set you back too much, then the Cybergun GSR would make a great choice with it's heavy weight, full size drop out metal magazine, and true 1911 styled trigger.
Here is another great Replica Airguns Limited Time Sale for you! If you want a really really small blank gun that will fit just about anywhere, take a look at the EKOL Arda 8mm blank shooting mini revolver. It has a very unique design, kind of a mix between a Derringer and a Revolver.
This is the final day of the EKOl ASI Blank Machine Gun sale, it goes back up to regular price on September first, so that's at 12AM tonight!!
If you have not got one yet at this crazy price then make sure to buy one before it's too late... Please, no winers tomorrow, you have had lots of time to get in on this deal and have now been warned about the increase.
Type: BB air pistol. Manufacturer: Cybergun. Model:Sig Sauer SP2022. Materials: Metal and polymer build. Weight: 1.7 pounds. Barrel: 4 inches, brass, non-rifled. Propulsion: CO2 x1. Action: Semi auto non-blowback, double action only. Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm. Ammunition Capacity: 23 rounds FPS: 328 (Tested way higher!) Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Sig Sauer SP2028 was much lighter then I expected! As the SP2022 is a double action only pistol, the trigger must first cock the hammer before the hammer can be released, usually requiring additional force. The trigger was a bit long but smooth and light.
Accuracy: Very decent for a low cost short barreled BB shooter, I got just over a 2 inch grouping from a 20 foot away free standing position, shooting just to the left and a bit high. I also put the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Metal Slide version through my Chrony Chronograph and even though the box has a 328 fps rating on it, I got an incredible 8 shot average velocity of 478 fps and no my Chronograph was not broken! I really don't know what to say abut this? Perhaps my gun was an exception or maybe I accidentally got the "powered Version" as one does exist from Cybegun with a higher 426 fps claimed velocity. Or maybe they are all just this way? Build Quality: Very good, I was extremely pleased with the fit and finish of my Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro! The metal slide and polymer frame along with the all metal full size drop out magazine gave this air pistol a really nice balance and weight to it, I would expect it to be very similar to the real steel as they are both constructed similarly.
Realism: The Cybergun Sig Pro SP2022 is very close to the look, weight, and feel of the real Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro! For a lower cost airgun, I was very impressed with all the detail that it had including the licensing and trademarks throughout the pistol and amazing attention to detail. Available From: The Replica Airguns Store
Pros:
Good weight and very solid feeling gun.
Metal slide and all metal full size drop out magazine.
Very Accurate licensed Sig Sauer SP2022 replica.
Crazy high fps results!
Very affordable.
Fairly light double action trigger.
Magazine holds both the CO2 and BB's - always nice.
Recessed barrel for added realism.
Good overall accuracy and shots per CO2.
Cons:
Non-blowback and the slide does not move either.
The hammer is only for show and does not move when firing.
Non adjustable rear sights.
Comments: I ordered my Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro with two other Cybergun pistols (The Jericho 941 and Sigarms GSR), all of them in the lower and more affordable price point, out of all three of them so far I am really liking the SP2022 for a lot of reasons: It just looks really good, it has good weight and feel, for an air pistol in this price range to have a metal slide and full metal drop out magazine is also a welcome change. But most of all mine shot so much harder then expected that I was almost afraid to publish my test results! Even if it shot closer to the claimed fps this gun is well worth it and I would still be very happy and quick to recommend the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro.
My YouTube Videos for the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro Metal Slide version Airgun:
I wanted to give you a quick preview of some very nice yet inexpensive Cybergun - KWC BB guns I received today, and I am happy to say I'm also selling them in the Replica Airguns Store.
The Cybergun Air Pistols are the Sig Sauer SP2022, the Jericho 941, and the Sigarms GSR. All of which have metal slides, full size all metal drop out magazines and corresponding licensing and trademarks. Make sure to scroll down to the bottom of this preview where you will find my YouTube video Preview for these Cybergun Air Pistols.
First off is the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022:
This BB shooting Sig Sauer SP2022 is a metal and polymer gun with a metal slide and polymer frame just like the real steel it is licensed under. The full size drop out all metal magazine holds the 23 BB's and CO2. The Sig Sauer SP2022 shoots 4.5mm steel BB's, has a rated velocity of 328 fps, weighs in at 1.7 pounds, has a double action only trigger and is just over 7 inches long. The SP2022 is probably my favorite gun out of all of them so far!
2nd we have the Cybergun IWI Jericho 941:
The Jericho 941 is a replica of the Baby Desert Eagle and is the most powerful out of the group with a claimed velocity of 443 fps. The Jericho 941 also has a full metal slide, metal outer barrel, and full size metal drop out magazine that holds 22 4.5mm steel BB's and the CO2. The Jericho 941 weighs in at a hefty 2 pounds and is over 8 inches long with a double action only trigger. It also is claimed to get more than 200 shots out of a single CO2 cartridge!
Lastly we have the Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms:
By far the heaviest gun out of the trio, the GSR comes in at 2.4 pounds and is made almost entirely out of metal, even including the grips so if your looking for a gun that feels the part this is the one for you. The Sig Sauer GSR also has the full size drop out metal magazine like the rest of them and can hold 21 4.5mm steel BB's along with the CO2 in it. You can expect to get close to 400 fps and the 1911 styled GSR even has a true 1911 styled trigger, although it is double action only.
All three of these Cybergun - KWC value priced air pistols are available at the Replica Airguns Store so make sure to drop in and get yours today!
Checkout my Vimeo Video Preview of these very fine Cybergun Air Pistols:
Last but not least and maybe my favorite out of the bunch, the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro with metal slide. make sure if you buy this one to get the metal slide version as they make it in a plastic slide version too which I don't carry.
This is a Cybergun distributed air pistol made by KWC, the Sig Sauer SP2022 is a very detailed replica of the real steel Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro used by the DEA and many other law enforcement agencies worldwide. The Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 features a metal slide and full size drop out all metal magazine giving this BB pistol even more realism! It has a very light double action trigger and working magazine release and safety.
Cybergun product number two to be added to the Replica Airguns Store store is the Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms in all metal!
This is a Cybergun distributed air pistol made by KWC, the Sig Sauer GSR is a very detailed replica of the real steel Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms 45 ACP. This Cybergun product is virtually all metal even including the side panel grips! The Cybergun Sig Sauer GSR features a full size all metal drop out magazine giving this BB pistol even more realism! It is a very heavy 2.4 pounds and has a working magazine release and safety.
I received three new Cybergun/KWC products today, all of them well under the $100 price point but with a lot of metal parts and full size drop out metal magazines.
This is a Cybergun distributed air pistol made by KWC, the Cybergun Jericho 941 is a very detailed replica of the real steel IWI Jericho 941 9 mm Baby Desert Eagle. This Cybergun product has a metal slide and polymer frame with a full size all metal drop out magazine giving this BB pistol excellent wight and realism! The manufactures claims up to 200 shots out of an individual CO2. The Jericho 941 has a working magazine release and safety.
I've had several inquiries about adding the Baikal MP-655K to the store and I am proud to let you know we now have another very fine Baikal product available for sale.
This finely crafted Baikal MP-655Kair pistol is capabel fo firing both Pellet and BB using either an 8 shot pellet magazine or switching it over to a BB magazine that loads BB's from a 100 round internal hopper. The MP-655K has a rifled barrel and is know to be very accurate even when shooting BB's from it. It is a replica of the Baikal Viking and just like teh real steel it incorporates metal slide and polymer frame. The Drop out magazine neatly holds and conceals the CO2.
Action: Electronic trigger with 1-3-6 round burst & 300-340-600 Rounds Per Minute.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 30 rounds.
FPS: 360-500.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the IZH Drozd is nice and light due to the fact that the trigger is not mechanical but is instead an electronic on-off switch that operates a solenoid. The solenoid pulsates in turn hitting the CO2 valve release. This is how the single fire and burst fire rates are achieved.
Accuracy: When I was sighting the Baikal Drozd in I got several 5 shot groups well within 1 inch 30 feet out from the target. But when I did my actual video accuracy test, the Drozd did not perform as well, getting more like a 2 inch group, still very reasonable for a gun that can shoot 600 rounds per minute out of the box and 1200 rounds per minute when modified. With metal streaming out the barrel like that you are pretty much going to hit what ever you point it at, the odds are in your favor!
Build Quality: This is a typical Russian made gun, all business and less importance put on looks but even so it is visually appealing, at least to me! Everything works exactly as it should and even though the main shell is plastic it is really a weapons grade polymer so there is no cause for concern here. There are a fair amount of metal components like the factory barrel, most of the magazine and many internal parts.
Realism: Again, the Baikal Drozd IZH MP-661K is not a replica, but it does look like a sub machine gun in many ways, I'm really just not sure exactly what it looks like but when you are shooting this gun you really don't think much about this point because you are too busy grinning!
Rear stock can get lose sometimes (just add some tape to tighten it up a bit).
Comments:
The Baikal IZH MP-661K is one of the most fun BB machine guns out there and well worth the extra cost to get such a quality product that not only is great out of the box but can also be modified in so many ways to improve it's performance and looks dramatically. Sure the Baikal IZH MP-661K now has a big brother, the Drozd Blackbird, but the Blackbird may be just a bit of overkill for some, I kind of like the Drozd Classics more compact size and if you can't nail what your shooting at with 30 rounds then your doing something very wrong! The Drozd is really the epitome of extreme BB gun weaponry!
My Vimeo Video Review for this Russian made BB Machine gun:
Action: Bolt-action single shot, single action only.
Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellet.
Ammunition Capacity: 1 round.
FPS: 495.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman 1377 American Classic is non-adjustable but is short and light with virtually no creep at all, it's just right there! It makes for very accurate shot placement.
Accuracy: I found the Crosman 1377 to be an amazing target pistol, getting about a 1/2 inch grouping from 30 feet out in a semi-rested position. And I performed my accuracy test twice with the same result each time. I also put the America Classic through the Chrony Chronograph test using increasingly more pumps each time and got it up into the 460+ fps range with 15 pumps using 6.9 grain RWS lead pellets. Keep in mind this is the Canadianized version that has been release valve limited to under 500 fps, so over-pumping should not hurt this gun too much, but either way do so at your own risk as Crosman says it's a 10 pump gun...
Build Quality:The Crosman 1377 American Classic is not a fancy looking gun but it gets the job done with a mostly metal design and build. Remember this gun has been around for 40 years and has pretty much stayed the same so Crosman must be doing something right with it.
Realism:The Crosman 1377 pellet pistol is not a replica, it is a target airgun, so it looks like a target air pistol and for that we'll give it high marks ;)
Ability to regulate power with the amount of pumps.
Mostly metal construction.
Rifled barrel.
Adjustable sights for windage and elevation.
Light and short single action trigger.
Would be good for small pest control because of its decent FPS and excellent accuracy for precise shot placement ability.
Lots of mods and upgrades available for this gun!
It has been around for 40 years!
Cons:
Trigger is a bit thin (but can be upgraded)
Sights are fully adjustable but a bit hard to adjust.
Comments:
The Crosman 1377 America Classic .177 caliber pellet pistol is a must have target air pistol, even though I own the much more full featured (and pricey!) Webley Alecto .22 caliber multi-pump pneumatic target air pistol, the Crosman 1377 is still great to own and shoot. I think one day I will pass my 1377 down to my son when he is ready to learn the art of accurate pistol target shooting. The fact that you can head out for the day with the 1377 America Classic in one hand and a tin of .177 caliber pellets in the other and shoot till you can't shoot any more, with no CO2 required makes it very inviting - and pretty much everything you point it at will get nocked down or nailed dead on.
We now have some extra magazines available for our popular BB shooting Colt Special Combat! Not only odes the magazine hold the 20 rounds of BB's but also a CO2 cartridge. So if you already have a Colt Special Combat or you're thinking of getting one, be sure to pickup an extra magazine while you're at it!
Action: Semi auto blowback, double and single action.
Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.
Ammunition Capacity: 18 rounds
FPS: 330
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Sig Sauer X-Five is what you would expect from a real automatic pistol, in single action mode it is very light and short. The blowback action re-cocks the hammer with each shot.
Accuracy: Excellent for a BB shooter, I got about a 1 inch grouping from a 20 foot away free standing position with this red dot equipped BB shooter. I also put the Cybergun Sig Sauer P226 Open version through my Chrony Chronograph and even though the box has a 300 FPS rating on it I, I was able to get an 8 shot average of 343 FPS.
Build Quality: Excellent, with an almost all metal construction, this gun has some weight to it and the craftsmanship is also very good!
Realism: The Cybergun Sig Sauer X-Five P226 is as close as you can come to the look, weight, feel, and action of the real Sig Sauer X-Five. P226! Everything about this gun makes it feel real, it would make an excellent training gun for someone just getting started in the sport or even for a skilled semi auto shooter wanting to hone their skills when a gun range is not easily accessible.
Sacrifice some fps and shots per CO2 because of the heavy blowback but worth it.
A bit hard to load up.
Can not field strip without taking off the sight rail?
Comments:
This Cybergun BB air pistol is styled after many modern blowback Airsoft pistols, this means it functions very similarly to the real steel. It is a very hefty gun made almost entirely from metal and has a very snappy blowback action which adds to its shooting realism. Even the magazine looks and feels like a real 9mm magazine with similar weight and dimensions. The Cybergun Sig Sauer X-Five Open version shoots even more accurately than the non-sight rail version because of the addition of a Red Dot scope helping the accuracy! Both the regular version of teh Sig Sauer X-Five P226 and this "Open" version are absolutely great air pistols but for the extra $10 price tag you get some really nice additions to this pistol including an adjustable rear sight.

The results are in and you're going to have to watch my YouTube video to see who won this time! As alway the video will be at the bottom of the post for you to view and it's not really a long one.
I want to thank everyone again for taking part in this Contest-Giveaway, I really noticed a boost in Subscribers and even some more traffic on the my ReplicaAirguns.com Website!
The Cybergun Mini UZI has been a really popular Blowback BB gun with the most realistic Blowback recoil available. This UZI replica looks, feels sand shoots just like the real 9mm Mini UZI and has lots of metal on it giving it close to a 5 pound weight. It comes out of the box as a semi auto CO2 driven Air gun but can be easily converted to full auto if so desired - check out this link for the details on converting it to full auto. I also have a full video review located here.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman PRO77 is good and light as it should be for a single action only airgun. I did find it to be a bit creepy when the magazine is loaded but on an unloaded magazine it is smooth as silk. There must be something going on with the chambering of BB's.
Accuracy: I found the Crosman PRO77 to be a decent shooter, getting about a 2 inch grouping from 20 feet out standing in a free standing position. After my test grouping I shot another 2 magazines into the target in a more rushed shooting style and the pattern did not grow much larger than the original 2 inches. I also put 8 rounds through my Chrony Chronograph and the PRO77 averaged a respectable 285 fps, not too far off of the factory claim of 325 fps and keep in mind it was not a very warm day for the testing.
Build Quality: The Crosman PRO77 looks and feels overall like a pretty well made airgun. The slide, trigger, hammer, slide release, CO2 screw and safety are all made out of metal. The only part that could use an upgrade would be the all plastic magazine, it would have been nice to have a metal magazine for durability and a bit extra weight in the gun. The fit and paint looked good and did not show any signs of wear problems in the high point areas.
Realism: The Crosman PRO77 is not a Replica gun so to speak but it does look a bit like a combination of perhaps a Sig Sauer, Steyr M9 and maybe even a little Walther P series thrown in to the pot? Crosman seems to keep well away from licensing guns for the most part. Maybe they figure they can put more money into the product and less money into other companies accounts?
A bit low on fps compared to some other blowback guns.
Ejection port is not cut out but molded into the slide.
Magazine could have been made out of metal and not all plastic.
Non-adjustable sights, kind of normal in this category.
Comments:
The Crosman PRO77 I believe is Crosman's first modern blowback operated air pistol and they did a pretty good job with it getting most things right like a true single action trigger and working hammer, a discreet CO2 system, lots of metal parts where they really need to be and an overall good performer. Sure there is room for some improvement but as a first attempt it's a nice gun and not one that's going to set you back to much money either. I am looking forward to Crosman's upcoming blowback air pistol, the C51 that should be out in a month or two...
My Vimeo Video Review of the Crosman PRO77 Blowback BB Pistol:
OK, this is getting stupid now, sure the Valtro Airgun 92 is selling at the already low price of $119 - That's $30 off the regular price but I want to take it up a notch and really sell a bunch of these well made Italian Beretta 92FS styled air pistols. So for a limited time you can get yourself this 14 shot, double CO2 .177 caliber pellet shooting single and double action pistol for $50 off the regular price! Don't kick yourself later for not doing it!
Type: Pellet & BB air pistol. Manufacturer:UmarexUSA. Model:Smith & Wesson M&P 45. Materials: Plastic (polymer) and metal construction. Weight: 1.35 pounds. Barrel: 3.3 inches, metal rifled. Propulsion: CO2 x 1. Action: Semi auto, single and double action. Ammunition Type: .177 caliber Pellets and 4.5mm BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 8 shot rotary magazine. FPS: 360. Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P 45 is better then with the Umarex PPQ and not only because you also get a single action trigger with the S&W M&P 45 but the double action trigger is also smother with less force required. Shooting this gun pre-cocked in single action mode is great for when you want to zone in on a target but you can always shoot double action when it's time to just blast! Accuracy: I shot this air pistol at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and it performed well getting a decent 2 inch grouping with both the pellets and the BB's very close to the center of the target. I found it performed equally as well in both single and double action. As I shot this gun I seemed to get more focussed and I ended up getting tighter groupings with it. The sights can be adjusted for windage if your aim is off to one side or the other. My Chrony Chronograph testing using 6.9 grain lead pellets and standard weight BB's averaged about the same in the 330-340 fps.
Build Quality: This is an almost all external polymer air gun with a good deal of metal components on the inside giving the S&W M&P 45 a decent overall weight and heft. I actually felt the stated weight seemed a bit low, it would be interesting to put this one on a scale and find out for sure? Some of the external metal parts worth noting are the safety switch, slide release, and trigger. The fit and finish is very good on the PPQ and the plastic is the good stuff just like the similarly made Umarex PPQ. Realism: The Umarex S&W M&P 45 is a licensed replica of the actual Smith & Wesson M&P 45 semi auto pistol. It is a very close looking copy with the exception of the missing extractor pin and right side slide release. There is a lot of attention to detail that helps make this gun very believable like the large diameter barrel opening and Smith and Wesson markings throughout the airgun! Provided by:UmarexUSA.
Pros:
Very reasonable price for a well made full featured airgun.
Excellent reproduction of the real S&W M&P 45 semi auto pistol.
Shoots both pellets and BB's.
Rifled barrel.
Easy to use yellow dot sights adjustable for windage.
Slide catch and safety are realistic and functional.
Single and double action trigger.
Well designed CO2 access both hides the CO2 and makes it easy to install.
Good combination of power, accuracy and CO2 efficiency - I got 10 good magazines
Even though there is a lot of plastic on the outside, there is a lot of metal on the inside giving this airgun some good weight and heft.
Cons:
The plastic exterior may put off some customers looking for metal guns.
Missing extractor pin takes a bit away form the realism.
Could have just a bit more power - would be worth getting less shots per CO2.
Comments: The Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P 45 Pellet and BB CO2 air pistol really impressed me. I was already fairly impressed with the Umarex PPQ and how far a little bit of money went with that very similarly designed Umarex model. But I have to say for me the S&W M&P 45 has the clear advantage mainly because of the addition of the single action trigger. The Umarex S&W M&P 45 really has a lot going for it: Great entry level price point, it shoots both Pellets or BB's, it has a rifled barrel, an adjustable rear sight, good accuracy with decent power and CO2 efficient and great looks. As with the Umarex PPQ, these qualities make it very easy to overlook the mostly plastic exterior!
My YouTube Video Review for this versatile Smith & Wesson Pellet and BB CO2 Pistol:
I thought I would start making quick YouTube Videos for the deals I have going on, so my YouTube fans don't get left out on some of the deals to be had over here on the Replica Airguns Website and Store.
This is the first so hopefully everyone likes the idea! This one mentions the crazy blank shooting EKOL ASI Machine Gun deal going on right now and also the pellet shooting Valtro Airgun 92 with Shoot2 System temporary price cut.
