Tanfoglio .177-Cal Magazine, Fits Limited Reviews

Good item. And fast delivery seeing as I had this shipped to London England.

Make sure you order the correct version.

The original price is quite high. The sales price is fair. My replacement is much darker than the color on my Tanfoglio. Other than the color, it's a proper fit, and no complaints.

Nothing.

Buy one if you have a gun that uses the same magazine.

Work as expected. Well packaged. Delivery was hassle free (Even when dealing with UK customs).

They are not supplied with spare plastic CO2 plugs, like the one you get with the pistol. (Although I haven't yet stripped the threads on the original). Yet... :)

I'm in the UK, so with import duty and VAT they worked out *slightly* more expensive than buying from UK retailers. (But at least Pyramydair had them in stock and available, unlike many UK retailers...

good design

change oring rubber gaskets to silicone gaskets

if they leak air remove and soak in pellgun oil for several days

finish is nice, but darker than original. Eh... It's heavy enough to balance the big pistol when shooting.

There is a couple of materials design problems. (It has a very soft brass cartridge-piercing nipple). No matter how careful you are, It doesn't take long for CO2 to start leaking because the nipple rounds over permanently. I have tuned 2. The other is defect is the materials used for the screw Cap that holds the cartridge in. Cheap plastic, with an even cheaper stamped metal hex-insert that really doesn't fit any wrench one has. Again, I have ruined 2. This is an expensive magazine. built like a tank, except for these two things,band really take away from an otherwise awesome airgun.

As this is the only available magazine for this Tanfoglio family of air pistols, you really have no choice here. I am glad that Pyramid air bought the price down a little. You definitely need at least 2.

The co2 is in the clip if something goes wrong it is less expensive to fix

nothing

Works----------I like the co2 in the clip also it makes it easyer to rebuld with a few tools or cheeper to replace and you don't have to send something just order a new clip

Too hard to load needs a hole in the side like the other clips so you can pore the bb's in not push them one at a time.

Very well made magazine. Heavy duty.

Nothing

You get 40 good shots per CO2 cartridge. For flawless performance I load each of my extra magazines with 10 BBs per magazine.

I like the heavily constructed design of this magazine and the weight which resembles a fully loaded 9mm magazine.

I'm concerned about the durability of this magazine. I've owned three, with the idea of practicing reloads. However, the original failed within two weeks of use. The seals went out resulting in steady leakage and the magazine follower would not lock back. So, the jury is out until I've run the remaining two for a time.

PyramidAir sales folks tell me that the only failure they typically have with the Tanfoglio is the magazines but they can run for years without a problem. We'll see.

Heavy and well made. Constructed better than any firearm pistol magazine I have ever owned. Functions flawlessly. The tab locks, so to speak, in the fully loaded position allowing one to load the BB's through the loading hole just above the follower.

The tab used to pull down the follower is difficult to manipulate. It needs to be made slightly larger, if you don't have a good fingernail it will be difficult to use. Price is a little much for a co2 BB gun magazine, it is almost as much as an H&K pistol magazine. The screw-in co2 part is plastic, not sure why. The magazine is heavily built of metal and they scrimp by using plastic on a key part that can break.

I rated this a 4 as the magazine is difficult to load, (loading tab needs to be larger), and the price is half the price of the pistol itself, when the pistol is on sale. This magazine is physically heavy but really we'll made overall, except for the co2 mount at the bottom made of plastic.

Very well made, pretty easy to load.

CO2 cartridge inserts from bottom, then a large plastic bolt is screwed in which you tighten with a hex wrench. It would be a lot easier/better/nothing-to-lose if the cartridge inserted from the side and you tightened a wing nut to pierce it (like my 45 year old Daisy.)

Very heavy compared to any of my other gun magazines. Upsets the balance of the gun by making the grip end a lot heavier than a 'real' gun, but you learn to ignore it.

Well-constructed 'drop-free' magazine that holds CO2 and BBs. It's fairly easy to load as the spring can be locked back while pouring BBs into it. I use a small tube that holds about 22 BBs; a pen barrel works well for this. Much faster and easier than loading individual BBs one-at-a-time.

As other reviewers have mentioned, this magazine does seem unnecessarily heavy. The CO2 cap and feed lip are plastic, so I doubt that the metal construction was intended to improve durability. Added weight for realism? Balance point of the overall gun? It certainly does seem that it could have been made lighter.

The feed spring is strong! Be careful when loading BBs into this magazine and especially when releasing the spring, or you'll send BBs spraying out across the floor!

I like having a spare mag when I shoot.

I think the could lighten it up some, It's pretty heavy.

I've had this problem with this type of mag. that uses an allen wrench to secure the CO2 cartridge. If you don't put blue loctite on the threads of the mag. it unscrews as you fire the gun and won't hold a charge overnight. This is not a new problem I had the same thing happen on the Tanfoglio 1911 clone. I fixed it the same way.
