By Ryan2466 from USA on 2009-07-31 13:43:42 Things I liked:If you get the Wood grips, there will only be one peace of plastic left on the entire pistol! Thats the Grip release button... who cares. This thing is scary accurate, i can easly pick off cans at 60ft with oppen sights, on the bend of a river where the wind is wipping. It's just amazing, i cant stop holding and shooting it lol. I usally just tell people this is a Real Beretta. The CO2 version. Then all i usally hear is, "Oooo. Very nice!"Things I would have changed:I Bought my wood grips seporate. Im very dissapointed in the Checkering, clearly looks like it was done with a dull blade! As a result of the dull cutting blade some of the checkers are compleetly gone!! With a $80 price tag ($30 MORE than wood grips for 9mm bretta!) i'm expecting nothing but PERFICT grips! so thies are getting RMA'd asap! What others should know:my gun came COMPLEETLY UNLUBRICATED! i fought with the leavers for the first 10 clips thinking it would break in.. no.. i went to radioshack picked up there Precsion Lubricator for 3 bucks, pulled the 5 screws, cracked oppen just enough lube the moving parts with the needle tip... The gun a pleasure to opperate now. Fantastic product! |  |

By Donald from USA on 2011-07-02 17:18:23 Things I liked:I liked the heft and feel of the gun. Used my bore laser sight checker and it was right on. The quality seems better than most of the other air guns I've purchased. The design and fit is better than the 'under' $100 guns I've purchased. It actually has metal ammunition clips. Slack to squeeze is good.Things I would have changed:Better quality control is needed. I purchased the air gun for an upcoming weekend event, but will have to wait another two weekends to use it. The gas from the CO2 cylinder could not reach the firing chamber. Was told by technical and sales support I had a Monday morning lemon. I'm still not very happy about the outcome. They allowed me to trade it in - which I did, but rather than wait two weeks, I've ordered a second gun as well - we'll see. It that doesn't work out you count on hearing from me. I hope the quality of case it came in is not equal to quality of cases provided in general by Pyramyd AIR. Thickness of the vinyl in this case is too thin - it will not last very long. I suspect the trigger is made of plastic - if so, I doubt it will probably not last long. What others should know:The finish is not chrome as advertised, but rather more like stainless steel. The appearance of the gun is fairly realistic, but not to one who is familiar with the handgun. There was a few minor defects in the molding of the frame and slide - minor, but were there to my eyes. Don't know how it will shoot, at least not until I get the replacement in - another 2 weeks, I guess. |
- Things I liked:Weight, feel and finish darn close to real thing. Accurate right out of the box. First eight shots, 5 in the 10 ring, 3 in the 9 ring using double action at 10 meters with Gamo Diablo match 7.56 gr pellets.
Things I would have changed:Walnut grips cut a little sharp. Stiff nylon toothbrush made them more comfortable and then a coat of danish wood oil really brought out the grain.
What others should know:If you have a collection of airguns, this one will become one of your favorites. - Things I liked:Good looks,real good looks.Its as pretty as a cat. Also its size it feels very heavy in my hand.Not just kind of,but extremely realistic. Be careful you don't end up in a head line that reads "The Officer Thought It Was A Real Gun". This one could do it.
Things I would have changed:Absolutely the sights have to go. According to the manual the competition version comes w/fully adjustable rear sight.??? Where can I buy one. Does Anybody Know? This unit has P.O.I. at 6in. high at 8 yards and no way to correct. Also, actual barrel ends inside of the mock barrel end. About 1/4 in. inside with just enough room for co2 to rapidly escape around the pellet and disrupt its flight. Hard to believe Germans made this, it's a simple fix from engineering view point.Should never had happened.Needs more velocity too. I tride lubeing mags on both sides w/ some thick divers silicone- helped reduce gas loss when fireing but not much.Needs a tune up for more power. Sorry to gripe but for the high price I should be getting more for my money.
What others should know:If your buying to collect, absolutely buy one. They are about the prettiest gun out there.But if you like to target shoot or hunt this is probably not what your looking for. - Things I liked:Heavy,very heavy.It feels very real in my hand. Just like a real piece. A1, spectacular to look at.Everything looks and feels so real.
Things I would have changed:Now for the bad news. It doesn't shoot straight. First off, the actual barrel is recessed about 1/4 to 3/8 in. inside a mock barrel this design allows co2 too escape around pellet in the narrow space between the two and hook the skirt as it exits the muzzle which disrupts its trajectory from the start.Second, these sights have no vertical adjustment.This wouldn't be a big deal accept that my P.O.I. is about 4-5 in. high and sometimes left,sometimes right at just 15 ft. Also,my front sight wiggles.I may have to drill a hole in the top of it and tap it to place an adjustable vertical pin in it to help w/targeting.Its hard to believe Germans built this pistol. It looked so good when I opened the box. So much for first impressions.
What others should know:To test a pistol for accuracy wrap it in an old shirt and place it in a vice ( not to tight) w/enough room to pull the trigger.Fire a mag. of undamaged pellets. In this case 8 consecutive pellets at a target at 5yds. In theory they should all land on top of each other. In reality they should land in an area no bigger than a dime. If they don't-There is a problem. Houston I have a problem. I just bought a really,really cool 250 dollar paper weight.CommentsBy Reuben from USA on 2012-12-15 0 
Are you sure it didn't move? - Things I liked:I liked the heft and feel of the gun. Used my bore laser sight checker and it was right on.

There was a few minor defects in the molding of the frame and slide - minor, but were there to my eyes. Don't know how it will shoot, at least not until I get the replacement in - another 2 weeks, I guess. - Things I liked:Beautiful artistic interpretation of the real thing. High-end pellet pistol I don't know whether to shoot it or just keep it new in the box as a collectable. Yes, it's really that nice. The nickel finish is low maintenance. And the wood grips that came on my pistol appear to be black walnut - a good thing, didn't like the honey colored ones shown in the customer's supplied photos.
Things I would have changed:At the price, the plastic grips should be included. Pistol case could be larger to accommodate optional extras - barrel, slide (blue?), plastic grips - still available at Pyramyd Air.
What others should know:My right wood grip has a small, barely noticeable chip - but hey that's the beauty of natural wood (adds character). So don't expect perfection (I know, at the price one should). - Things I liked:Fabulous look and feel. Not even sure the ''real thing'' exists, but one should dream on.
Things I would have changed:As a collector, rather than a shooter, nothing comes to my mind. One will forever dream of an airgun with these looks that could also achieve 700fps... - Things I liked:This is the best quality airgun that I've purchased from Pyramyd Air. The nickle finish and wood grips match up really well and it is beautiful to look at. It feels nice in your hand, and you can feel the heft of the all metal construction. It is very accurate. The gun is worth the price you pay for it.
Things I would have changed:Nothing - Things I liked:What do I like about this pistol E V E R Y T H I N G ! !
Things I would have changed:Adjustable sights would be nice , but they are not needed .
What others should know:When I opened the case it came in all I could say was W O W ! I was amazed when right out of the box i was putting eight out of eight shot dead center in the black at twenty eight feet . This by the way is not the only " high end" co2 pistol I own , but when compaired to a COLT 1911 or DESERT EAGLE this pistol out performs both , not only in accuracy , trigger pull is smoother , sight picture is better and " feel " of the gun is great , plus it just a cool gun that I am proud to own .CommentsBy Donald from USA on 2011-04-16 0 What fps does the gun provide - any idea? Does the slide recoil or remain in place? Any problem cycling any particular ammo? If you shake the air gun, does the slide rattle? Does any part seem flimpsy? Sorry for the 20 questions - I'm considering the air gun? - Things I liked:This gun is so cool i got it for christmas and i havnt been able to put it down since. Before this gun i got a smith and wesson revolver and when i picked the beretta up after that i couldnt believe the weight difference. The wooden grips make the gun a pleasure to fire. The safety is easy to use as is the hammer to operate. And the sights are easy to alighn. And also the co2 consumption is amasing i got about 100 shots through it before i had to change the co2 cartrage. And the most important part is IT LOOKS SO COOL!! And about 90% of the time its mistaken for the real thing.
Things I would have changed:My front sight was a little loose when i purchased the gun and it still is. But its not loose enough to deduct marks from the gun overall.
What others should know:If you are looking for the purfect gun look no futher if you cant afford this model get a plain black one they are egsactly the same apart from the color and the price. I had this this lined up against the real thing and could hardley notice the difference. I dont think anyone would be dissapointed with this gun! - Things I liked:Great airgun! It just arrived today and is EXTREMELY accurate once sighted in. Mechanical quality is excellent; all metal components except for the switches (safety, magazine release, grip release button, etc.) but even they are solid and sturdy. As mentioned in the previous review, the CO2 pressure consistency is great, even in the cooler than desired environment of my garage in NY at the end of Nov. Managed about 100 shots on 1 CO2 cartridge in a 50 degree Fahrenheit environment. The gun does seem to need some breaking in (stiff safety that I can't operate with my shooting hand thumb and a creepy trigger on double action) but I could feel the workings starting to get smoother over those first 100 shots. Mechanically, the gun is of very high quality.
Things I would have changed:Unfortunately, the nickel finish has noticeable discolorations in several places around the safety (including the grooved area) and the back of the handle. There was a quality inspection ID tag in the case labeled "Kontrolle 8" who should be ashamed at having passed a product with those obvious blemishes. I was almost tempted to return it but I'm not the "returns" kind of guy. I've been wanting this gun so long that I'm just glad to have it in my possession. I just expected better cosmetic quality from a $250 airgun. But again, the operational quality seems excellent.
What others should know:As has been mentioned before, this pistol is extremely heavy. Be prepared, it feels like the real firearm. Blindfolded, you couldn't convince me that this was an airgun. - Things I liked:GREAT GUN! Well made, all metal construction, extremely accurate, it FEELS good to hold. Compared to other airpistols this has extremely even pressure... it can be a bit high pressure for the first shots with a new cartridge, but then remains consistent until the last few shots. When I added a red dot sight and a access. rail to this it became ridiculously accurate at 25-40 ft. In a sighting vise with good pellets, it fired 7 out of 8 rounds through the same hole at 30 feet, I've only had those kind of results with a rifle. 70-90 shots per CO2 on average. The savings in gas over time compared to a "blowback" gun will be significant if you shoot a lot, and the initial extra cost for this gun will pay for itself.
Things I would have changed:Ok... I do have criticism, but not enough to change my rating. This pistol was completely non-lubricated upon arrival, which was an easy problem to solve. It also had a couple of loose screws which initially affected performance. And, since I paid the extra money for the wood grips I was bummed when the brass Beretta medallion fell off the handle in the first 45 seconds. A drop of glue fixed that. Other than that I would change nothing.
What others should know:This pistol is serious and makes many other "adult" CO2 pistols into toys. When comparing the 92 to the PX4, the 92 is in an entirely different category. Be aware that this gun will take a little bit of time to get "worked in", when it does, it's operation is nice and smooth. This pistol also requires good pellets for the best results. I usually plink with cheap Crossman pellets, but found that cheap pellets really don't work well with this gun, you'll get very slow shots. I've found that RWS pistol pellets work best, Gamo was OK. This gun is so accurate and consistent that the quality of pellets make a noticeable difference in accuracy which is easy to gauge in a sighting vise. You'll amaze yourself when using top quality pellets. If you buy this gun, be sure to purchase a cleaning kit and lubrication or you'll be disappointed. The gun is nice enough that you'll want to keep it in top condition anyway. - Things I liked:Make no mistake, this gun is made of metal! As a result, it is VERY HEAVY, more so than any other CO2 pistol that I own and much heavier than the CP88 Walther. I can't imagine what the compensator would be like added to the overall weight. This is not necessarily a negative, but expect more weight than the average pistol. I like the accuracy, it is VERY accurate with low noise. This aspect actually drew my notice. More than any other gun that I own of the CO2 variety, it is the most quiet. The wood grips are satisfactory, but I did put on four coats of Tru-Oil and a light buff with #1 steel wool helps the finish greatly.
Things I would have changed:The gun wasn't lubricated. This was mentioned in another interview. I had to lube all the areas of friction, but this was not a problem. The bottom of the CO2 compressor, that item that swivels the cartridge up to the piercer, was discolored, as if the paint was not applied on a clean surface. I will end up spraying it again simi-gloss black. I suspect it is a factory defect, however, not important enough to send it back.
What others should know:It is very expensive, but it is a finely made airgun. The accuracy is extreme, to the point that it is as good or better than any airgun that I own, which is considerable. For a CO2 non-blowback pistol, it is rated a "10" by me. I wouldn't trade it now that I own it and have broken it in. It is worth the price. I use the Beretta target pellets and consider them as good as any I have tried in this gun. No jams and I like the metal magazines. - Things I liked:If you get the Wood grips, there will only be one peace of plastic left on the entire pistol! Thats the Grip release button... who cares. This thing is scary accurate, i can easly pick off cans at 60ft with oppen sights, on the bend of a river where the wind is wipping. It's just amazing, i cant stop holding and shooting it lol.

The gun a pleasure to opperate now. Fantastic product! - Things I liked:wood grips, and metal on it
Things I would have changed:i think that the grips are shorter in this pellet pistol than they are in a real 92 fs am i right?
What others should know:this expensive pistol worth the money paid - Things I liked:top quality gun by umarex the real thing i love it good pistol great accuracy and real good on co2 about 8 to 12 mag by 12g
Things I would have changed:no blow back
What others should know:it is a expensive pistol but it worth is price well made and it is a must have in a colection - Things I liked:BLINDFOLDED, THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN HOLD THIS PISTOL AND KNOW YOUR NOT HOLDING THE REAL DEAL. IT'S THE MOST ACCURATE TARGET PISTOL OF THE 15 I'VE OWNED. I WOULDN'T SELL MINE FOR A $50.00 PROFIT.I COULD GO ON & ON BUT I'LL STOP.
Things I would have changed:A LITTLE BETTER CASE, BUT I SEE NO WAY TO IMPROVE ON THE GUN ITSELF.
What others should know:IF YOU WANT A GUN THAT IS THE ELIET OF ANY COLLECTION AND EVERYONE WILL WANT TO PICK IT UP FIRST YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED WITH THIS FOR YOUR CHOICE. - Things I liked:Everything about this gun is exceptional. The feel, the look the weight, the accuracy. Even the adjustable rear sight, for windage only. The nickel plating, the wood grips.... if I continue talking about the awsomeness of this pistol, I think I am going to hyperventilate.
Things I would have changed:The price... very expensive, worth every cent, but expensive!
What others should know:Buy it.... you will not regret it!! This gun is a MUST HAVE for any collector. - Things I liked:I like the feel of this gun and the accuracy
Things I would have changed:I just got the gun but can't think of anything I would change. Maybe add adjustable rear sight. I may do this anyway.
What others should know:I went outside my basement to shoot the gun and saw a 1/2 gallon milk jug I had put up for my boys to shot at with the BB gun. I hit it 3 out of 6 shots. This was with the second clip of pellets thru the gun. The milk jug was over 80 feet away. I love this gun.
