Details
GAMO V-3 This could be the most innovative semi-automatic air pistol that shooters have seen in years. The Gamo V3 features a detachable clip that holds the CO2 cylinder and a 15 shot BB magazine that slips right into the grip and a receiver that slides back and forth with each shot (this is NOT a blowback gun). It can be fired as fast as the shooter can pull the trigger. The Gamo V-3 has a rail for mounting an optional laser sight, 425 fps muzzle velocity and a rifled steel barrel. The clip slides into the grip from the bottom. Also features a 3-dot position aiming sight and the rear sight can be adjusted for windage. It has a manual safety and sports a skeletonized style trigger.

Read MoreThings I liked:grip, safety location, magazine design and release Things I would have changed:trigger pull, fake blowback What others should know:The Gamo V3 is a good looking airgun that is sized like the Colt Commander, which is a perfect size for a 1911 styled BB gun. The grip fits my hand well and the magazine is a really neat design that loads BBs really easy. Other good things are that the magazine release and the safety are in the correct locations for people wanting firearm realism.
The trigger is um, weird. It's heavy and does not have a smooth pull at all. Slow shooting is the worst thing you can do with this gun. The trigger really has to be pulled through quickly in one motion to have a chance at shooting the Gamo V3 well. This trigger is a hand exercise device, which is either good or bad. It is great if you want a lot of double action only (DOA) practice to keep your hand in shape for firing a real DAO firearm.
The other weird thing is the barrel. It moves back and forth with the slide when the trigger is pulled. It is not rigidly mounted in the V3. I'm not quite sure why it is built that way, but it doesn't seem to hurt the way the V3 operates compared to fixed barrel CO2 BB guns.
If I had to compare it to other air pistols out there, the Gamo V3 is not the worst or the best. It can get up to 6 magazines of BBs per CO2 cartridge and it is reasonably accurate for a plinker. Even with the crazy trigger pull, the Gamo V3 is right at the top of my air pistol collection when it comes to good entertainment. It is just plain fun to shoot.
(Just be sure to keep it lubed well!)

Things I liked:Magazine is clever and works well... Things I would have changed:The blowback is not at all as real as the Walther CP99 for only a few bucks more. What others should know:The 12 lb. trigger pull is what causes the blowback, not the CO2 like on a real blowback gun. Buy the Walther CP99 Compact instead.

Things I liked:The grip feels like it was made for my hand and the ability to rapidly change co2 and bb's is a feature that is very addictive. Things I would have changed:The horrible trigger pull. It's long and very heavy. The accuracy is so bad that it is difficult to hit a tin can at 15 feet. I tried several different brands

Things I would have changed:The horrible trigger pull. It's long and very heavy. The accuracy is so bad that it is difficult to hit a tin can at 15 feet. I tried several different brands of bb's in addition to the lead balls gamo makes but nothing made a difference. What others should know:They say it's a blow-back gun. Actually as the trigger is pulled, the slide moves back and eventually releases causing the hammer to fall. After the hammer falls , nothing "blows back."

Things I liked:I own two Beretta II Elites, a Crosman C11 and a Daisy Powerline 008. This has become my primary pistol now. Fits perfectly in my hand. The sound and the feel of the gun, when firing, is awesome. Also the safety release is in the perfect place; you can release it with a flick of your thumb. The magazine holds both the ammo

The sound and the feel of the gun, when firing, is awesome. Also the safety release is in the perfect place; you can release it with a flick of your thumb. The magazine holds both the ammo and the CO2 cartridge, so none of that cheesy sliding the grip back to load it. Things I would have changed:I usually rapid fire this gun. The only issue I've had is that the first trigger pull is always kind of stiff. The following pulls are easier. I'd also like to see a 480 fps or more version. What others should know:Great value for the money.
