ASG STI Duty One 1911 Blowback CO2 BB Pistol Review

26 Comments

Type: BB air pistol.
Manufacturer: ASG.
Model:  ASG STI Duty One 1911 Blowback.
Materials: Metal slide and polymer frame.
Weight: 1.8 pounds.
Barrel: Metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto blowback, single action.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 20 round magazine.
FPS: 383.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the ASG STI Duty One 1911 is nice and light due to its true blowback operation that cocks the hammer back with each shot taken. The pull is rather long but nothing really happens till you get right to the end and then there is just a slight bit of pressure and a quick release.
Accuracy: I shot the STI Duty One 1911 air gun at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and it performed well getting a 1.5 to 2 inch grouping right in the center of the target. The rear sight is adjustable for windage which is always nice to have just in case you are shooting a bit to the left or right. For me there was no need to adjust the sights. My Chrony testing with an eight shot averaged result was 373 fps - very decent for a blowback pistol!
Build Quality: ASG did an awesome job designing and making the STI Duty One 1911 Blowback BB gun, they didn't really compromise on anything other than the polymer frame! With that said all that important parts like the Slide, Slide Catch, Safety, Mag Release, Hammer, Barrel and Magazine are all metal. The fit and finish as with all the ASG air guns is excellent!
Realism: The ASG STI Duty One 1911 Blowback is a really close replica to the real steel STI 1911, the only real giveaway is the trigger design, as a true 1911 trigger is not your typical lever type. Even with the different type of trigger the STI Duty One is a very good replica complete with all the STI licensing and trademarks.
Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Realistic true blowback action.
  • Adjustable rear sight for windage.
  • True single action blowback gun.
  • Excellent quality control. Very well made, fit and finish is excellent
  • Good power, accuracy, and CO2 efficiency for a blowback gun.
  • Metal dropout magazine.
  • Good STI Replica.
  • Extremely enjoyable gun to shoot!

Cons:

  • Trigger is not true to the real 1911 style.
  • Has a polymere frame, not metal.
  • I found the CO2 kind of hard to get out.

Comments:
I am quickly realizing that ASG is a company that makes not only some really nice air pistols, but also ones with excellent quality control and design. The STI Duty One 1911 Blowback CO2 BB gun is no exception to this and I found it a blast to shoot because it felt great in the hand, shot hard and on target, performed flawlessly and I was able to get a lot of shots from a CO2 even with the blowback and high fps for a blowback shooter. If you're a 1911 fan or you simply like full size guns that mean business, then take a look at the ASG STI Duty One 1911 Blowback CO2 BB pistol. If I had to pick one BB shooter to take out for a day of plinking, this would probably be the one!

ASG STI Duty One 1911 Blowback BB Pistol Arrives

9 Comments

Along with my Steyr M9-A1 that arrived today, I also received my ASG STI Duty One 1911 Blowback BB Pistol. I have to say every single ASG product that I have received to date has just really been a high quality product with absolutely excellent quality control. And my STI 1911 Duty One is no exception.

The ASG STI 1911 is not entirely metal but it does have good weight and it does have metal where you want like in the slide, barrel, trigger, hammer, magazine, magazine release button, safety and slide catch. The frame is however polymer.

It was nice to see an adjustable rear sight for windage and like a true 1911 the ASG STI 1911Duty One is single action only so you will need to cock the hammer or rack the slide to get it going. I'm really looking forward to shooting this gun tomorrow so look forward to that YouTube video review coming up very shortly, maybe even by tomorrow night I'll have it up?

Custom Baikal Drozd Full Auto 1200 Rounds Per Minute

2 Comments

I already have a customized full auto Drozd Blackbird who can pass up another Dorzd when the price is right! I will be making a double Drozd video down the road :)

My new Classic Drozd came with the Full Auto mod chip, the JimC hand made barrel, a 68ci Nitro Duck 4500 PSI carbon fiber tank and bulk air hose.

I also got the Red Dot scope with my new purchase but used one of my rial risers that fit perfectly giving my new Drozd an AR look to it.

Crosman 2240 .22 Caliber CO2 Bolt Action Pistol

2 Comments

In my recent acquisition of guns from my friend, I also procured a customized Crosman 2240 .22 caliber CO2 bolt action air pistol. It came customized with a new RJ Machine bolt, longer barrel and wood grips.

All I need to add is a nice Red Dot or low powered pistol scope and this classic CO2 air pistol will make a really nice target shooter.

Benjamin Sheridan Super Streak .22 Caliber Break Barrel Rifle

2 Comments

I purchased a bunch of "near new" air guns from a friend of mine last week who was't using them anymore and thought I could put them to better use. I was happy to oblige!

I already have the Crosman Quest 800 Break Barrel .22 caliber rifle for my pest control but you can always use one with more power! The break barrel Benjamin Sheridan Super Streak in .22 caliber is rated at up to 1000 fps and it is a real beast of an air gun to say the least. It came with a nice 4-16-40mm scope and I added an NCStar bi-pod to it to help distribute some of the weight.

I sighted it in at about 50 feet and was able to get about a nice 1 inch grouping with it from a rested position. I am looking forward to using this gun when my fruit trees start producing.

Umarex Walther CP88 CO2 Pellet Gun Review

4 Comments

Type: Pellet air pistol.

Manufacturer:Umarex.

Model:Walther CP88 Blued/Matte Black.

Materials: Mostly metal construction.

Weight: 2.25 pounds.

Barrel: 3.75 inches, metal rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, single and double action.

Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.

Ammunition Capacity: 8 rotary magazine.

FPS: 393.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Walther CP88 is extremely nice in both single and double action mode with the single action having the lightest pull making it really easy to shoot on target with accuracy.

Accuracy: I shot this air gun at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and it performed very well getting about a two inch grouping close to the center of the target and staying in the two inch sweet spot even with 3 magazines or 24 rounds shot, I shot just a little bit high and to the right. The good news is the sights can be adjusted for windage if you are shooting a tad bit to the left or right. My Chrony testing with an eight shot averaged result was 360 fps using 6.9 grain RWS pellets.

Build Quality: This is an almost all metal air gun with great fit and finish and a nice dense 2.25 pound weight to it. It's made in Germany, so you know it's made right? The only plastic parts to speak of are the grips which are a hard matte black plastic which matches the rest of the airgun nicely. All the mechanical parts operation are as smooth as butter.

Realism: The Umarex Walther CP88 is a licensed replica of the real Walther P88 semi auto pistol. It looks very close to the real steel with the exception of the break in the slide where the rotary magazine is accessible and the extra "C" in the name.

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Almost all metal construction - good weight and very solid feeling gun - 2.25 pounds!

  • German made!

  • Comes in a nice hard-shell case.

  • Very nice looking gun with in the Matte black - Blued finish.

  • Adjustable rear sight for windage.

  • Double and Single Action trigger, very smooth and light.

  • Ambidextrous safety just like the real steel.

  • Very good accuracy, decent FPS for a pellet shooing pistol and good usage of CO2 (12 magazines).

Cons:

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

  • The sights are a bit hard to see when shooting on certain darker backgrounds.

  • Engraving on the right side of the gun is a bit loud on the black color.

Comments:

I have to say I pretty much like everything about this airgun; Its size, its looks, it's German build and quality and the way it shoots. The Umarex Walther CP88 air pistol is one of those airguns I think everyone should save up for just to have the pleasure to own and shoot. It may not have blowback or a full size drop out magazine like some of the other newer styled flashier air pistols but I can tell you it is a real joy to shoot. When you hold it in your hand and point it at the target, all you can think about is how much fun you are having with this fine air gun.

Valtro Airgun 92 Shoot2 System CO2 Pellet Pistol Review

4 Comments

Type: Pellet air pistol.

Manufacturer: Valtro.

Model:Airgun 92.

Materials: Polymer frame with metal internal parts.

Weight: 1.7 pounds.

Barrel: Metal rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 2.

Action: Semi auto, single & Double action.

Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.

Ammunition Capacity: 14 round rotary magazine.

FPS: 394.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Valtro Airgun 92 has a medium weight in single action mode making it easy to place your shots on target. Double action shooting is also possible but does have a much heavier trigger pull, I found it on the heavy side but still had no problems shooting rapid fire in double action mode.

Accuracy: I shot the Airgun 92 at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and it performed well after I figured the gun out and tried a few pellet variations. In the end I was able to get the Airgun 92 to shoot about a 1.5 to 2 inch grouping just to the left of the center mass on the target. The sights are non-adjustable, but for me there wasn't really a need to adjust them since I was well on target. My Chrony testing with a six shot averaged result was 330 fps.

Build Quality: The Valtro Airgun 92 is another air pistol that utilizes Polymer in many of the parts of the air gun. Valtro did not cheap out and put plastic where it could effect the performance. The barrel, trigger, hammer, CO2 screw tab, Magazine ejector and the majority of the working parts are all metal with the exception of teh external shell being made form polymer plastic, and even then the polymer is nice and thick and meant to last.

Realism: The Valtro Airgun 92 is a close copy of the Beretta 92FS styled semi auto pistol which is one of my favorite old school pistol designs. You will not find any Beretta branding on the Airgun 92 as it is not a licensed replica but from a few feet away it would be hard to tell them apart.

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • One of the few airguns these days that comes with a hard shell plastic case!
  • Quality made in Italy.
  • Comes with an extra set of rotary magazines.
  • Uses duel CO2s' for more shots and better consistency.
  • Single and double action.
  • Rifled barrel
  • Tactical rail for Lasers and Tac-lights.
  • Good usage of metal components where needed.

Cons:

  • The double action trigger is a bit tough but still usable.
  • May have more plastic in teh build then some people like.
  • Could have just a bit more power but still a great plinker.
  • Sights are non-adjustable

Comments:

I definitely recommend the Valtro Airgun 92, especially if you are a Beretta fan! This pellet shooter is a mid-range priced gun that has a lot going for it: Italian built, high capacity pellet magazine, unique CO2 system with never ending shots, double and single action, rifled barrel, hard shell case, and overall great looks and performance. If you're looking for an air pistol with a bit more accuracy over a BB shooter (especially at longer ranges), then take a look at the Valtro Airgun 92 for your next air pistol purchase.

Umarex Beretta PX4 Storm Chronograph and Shooting Test

No Comments

I wanted to go back and do a full Chronograph Chrony test for my Umarex PX4 Storm and I thought I may as well do a live target shooting test while I was at it. I also thought I would try out my under barrel laser sight and see how it worked and what it looked like while filming it shooting in action. The PX4 shot an average of around 340 fps using 6.9 grain RWS pellets.

And lastly, I pulled out my Casio high speed camera and shot the blowback action of the PX4 Storm, first in real time and then also slowed down to 420 frames per second.

Here is my Vimeo video showing my Chronograph and Shooting results for the Umarex PX4 Storm:

Materials: Mostly metal construction.

Weight: 2.5 pounds.

Barrel: 5 inches, metal rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, single and double action.

Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.

Ammunition Capacity: 8 rotary magazine.

FPS: 425.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Colt Government 1911 A1 is extremely nice in both single and double action mode with the single action having the lightest pull making it a joy to shoot at targets.

Accuracy: I shot this air gun at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and it performed excellent getting just over a one inch grouping close to the center of the target, just a little bit high. The sights can be adjusted for windage if you are shooting a tad bit to the left or right. My Chrony testing with an eight shot averaged result was 383 fps.

Build Quality: This is an almost all metal air gun with great fit and finish and a nice hefty 2.5 pound weight to it. It's made in Germany, what more do I need to say? The only plastic parts to speak of are the grips which almost feel like a mix between rubber and plastic. All the mechanical parts opperation are as smooth as butter.

Realism: The Umarex Colt Government 1911 A1 is a licensed replica of the real Government Colt 1911 A1 45 auto pistol. It looks pretty much bang on with the exception of the slight break in the slide where the rotary magazine is accessible.

  • The sights are a bit hard to see on certain darker backgrounds.

  • The engravings on my airgun where a bit hard to see.

Comments:

The Umarex Colt Government 1911 A1 is a pleasure to own and shoot, you can really tell this is a quality gun from how smoothly it operates and the confidence it gives you even just holding it in your hands. This well made airgun has been around since the late 90's and even today holds it's own. It may not have a working blowback design or drop out magazine but as far as being a top notch airgun made for shooting and enjoying for years to come, it definitely succeeds in that category.

Umarex Walther PPQ CO2 Pellet & BB Pistol Review

7 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: Pellet & BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: UmarexUSA.

Model: Walther PPQ.

Materials: Plastic (polymer) and metal construction.

Weight: 1.37 pounds.

Barrel: 3.9 inches, metal rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, double action only.

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 Walther PPQ is a bit on the heavy side with most of the effort at the beginning and middle stages, right near the release point it does seem to lighten up a great deal making it easy to put pellets on the target. Just don't expect the PPQ to be the quickest rapid fire gun on the block because of this.

Accuracy: I shot this air pistol at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and it performed well getting an impressive 1.5 inch grouping very close to the center of the target. 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 fluctuated between 300 and 360 fps.

Build Quality: This is an almost all external polymer air gun with a good deal of metal components on the inside giving the Walther PPQ a decent overall weight and heft. 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 - there is a difference!

Realism: The Umarex Walther PPQ is a licensed replica of the real Walther PPQ semi auto pistol. It is a very close looking copy with the exception of some of the trade marks (P99 Q instead of PPQ). There is a lot of attention to detail that helps make this gun very believable!

Provided by: UmarexUSA.

Pros:

  • Very reasonable price for a well made full featured airgun.

  • Excellent reproduction of the real Walther PPQ 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.

  • Well designed CO2 access both hides the CO2 and makes it easy to install.

  • Good combination of power, accuracy and CO2 efficiency (I got 80+ shots)!

  • Even though there is a lot of plastic on the outside, there is a lot of metal on the inside giving this airgun some weight and heft.

Cons:

  • The plastic exterior may put off some customers looking for metal guns.

  • The trigger is a might bit heavy making rapid fire something you have to work for!

  • The small .177 caliber viewable barrel port is a bit of a giveaway in terms of realism but may help a bit with fps.

Comments:

The Umarex Walther PPQ Pellet and BB CO2 air pistol took me a bit by surprise. Because the PPQ resides in the lower end price range, I was not expecting it to be as nice of an airgun as it turned out to be! The PPQ has a lot going for it: Shoots both Pellets or BB's, a rifled barrel, adjustable sights, good accuracy, decent power, efficient CO2 usage and good looks. These qualities make it very easy to overlook the mostly plastic exterior!

My Umarex Walther PPQ CO2 Pellet Pistol Adventure

6 Comments

Related Posts:

I had a little adventure today. I needed to pick up an Umarex PPQ CO2 Pellet Pistol sent to me for review purposes by Umarex USA. The reason it was such an adventure was because Umarex USA was only able to send the PPQ Pellet Shooter to an address in the US and I live in Canada! No problem as I am very used to this No-Canada ship-to policy with many businesses. My work around is to ship to a warehouse in the US that specializes in shipping and receiving products for Canadians just like me.

I recently picked myself up a little 250cc Kawasaki KLX250SF Super Motard for doing my running around and today the weather was actually pretty good so I called up a riding buddy and out we went to pick up my Umarex Walther PPQ. The hardest part is actually getting into the US, if you say anything about business or picking "going to get something", you open yourself up to a hailstorm of questioning so you're always better off to go with the standard "I'm going shopping at the mall" or something like that. I have tried to be honest and every time it ends up being a three hour interrogation... 

So I made it across into the US and picked up my PPQ, stuffed it in my backpack, grabbed some Mexican food for lunch (it's always way better in the US), went for a joy ride, and then we headed back to Canada with my airgun tucked away securely in my backpack.

I know my airgun laws so I was not worried about crossing back into Canada, the worst that could happen at the boarder was getting pulled aside and asked to pay some duty and/or taxes. It was actually kind of funny because the boarder guard asked me to pull the gun out and hand it to him so he could check it out and make sure it wasn't a real gun or "Replica" non-shooting gun.

As I put my hand in the bag I said "do you want me to hand it to you", I wanted to makes sure I had not misheard him, that would have been an uncomfortable situation all around! I was thinking the whole time "I wonder what the people behind me are thinking" as we pass back and forth what looks like a real hand gun and then I just drive off like nothing happened.

Anyways, I have to say the Canadian boarder guards are generally really good about this kind of thing as long as you are honest with them and stay within the law of course.

So now I have this rather nice little pellet shooting Walther PPQ Replica to review for you all tomorrow! Make sure to check out my review! I plan on doing a full review complete with Chronograph fps and an accuracy shooting tests.

Cybergun Mini UZI CO2 BB Gun Chronograph and Full Auto Shooting Test

Today I got my Cybergun Full Auto CO2 powered BB shooting Mini UZI out for a Chrony Chronograph test. As stated by the factory, this BB shooting Mini UZU is supposed to shoot right around 344 fps which is not bad for a true blowback airgun. And what I mean by true blowback - it's when an airgun uses some of the CO2 power to cycle the action of the gun, which cocks the firing mechanism and loads a BB all in the blink of an eye - just like a real semi auto shooter.

The Cybergun Mini UZI shot nicely between 350 and 360 fps - again, another impressive result even on a not too warm day! (10 degrees Celsius - 50 degrees fahrenheit)

I also took the opportunity to film the Cybergun Mini UZI shooting in full auto, at target while I used my high speed Casio camera to slow down what was actually happening. The result is you can really see all that's going on while you fire this dynamic air gun.

Keep in mind that the Cybergun Mini UZI does not come from the factory with the full auto feature. It is an easy mod however, and I have a video here on how to do it.
