By Customer from USA on 2010-01-27 23:39:15 Things I liked:The weight is great, The blow back action is hard. It strips like a real steel deal. It is all metal.Things I would have changed:More fps , rubber grips... What others should know:This is replica of a Taurus PT99 not a beretta. It can be easily modified back to original specs and then be select fire. That is full auto/ semi/ safe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL1nVePaYTE |  |

By DAVID C from USA on 2013-01-21 10:31:27 Things I liked:CALIFORNIA BEAR, USA. The weight, feeling of fullness in your hand, and knowing you've got a good-looking piece of hardware in your grasp. Good recoil from blowback. Fits & Looks good even in my shoulder holsters. The full-metal drop-out magazine balances the weigt distribution & provides a realism not found in lesser quality air pistols.Things I would have changed:I've found that the durability of these heavier, all-metal pistols & full-metal drop out magazines holding both the BBs & CO2, are not durable. If you enjoy using your pistol for hours of plinking & target shooting, usually one of two things happen: the seals & accompanying CO2 leakage; or, the trigger action mechanism goes haywire. In my experience, it turned to full-auto shooting. I don't abuse my weapons and I maintain them with proper lubrication of the seals. This has happened to this pistol and the Sig Sauer P26XFive .... not once, .... I bought & returned / exchanged them several times with each pistol with the same results. I gave up on these two pistols & switched to other reliable, durable blowback pistols. AND,..... this always happened in a short period of time... within the 30-day period allowed by PYRAMYD. Thank you for your great customer service, Pyramyd Air. I might have been stuck with inoperable or poorly functioning pistols were it not for your customer-friendly / retention policies !! What others should know:If you're like me & don't know, or don't want to strip your pistol to repair it, thereby voiding your warranty, then either don't get this pistol; or, if like me, you just have to feel the great enjoyment of holding & shooting a fine-looking weapon such as this one ---- if even for a short time ---- then ony deal with the professionals at Pyramyd Air. I don't work for Pyramyd Air. I've just bought a lot of air pistols from them. Good --- and safe--- shooting !! |

- Things I liked:The realism. Weight and mechanics are spot on with a real 9mm. This gun would be great for people just getting into the sport of shooting. It also has a nice rail to add lasers and tactical lights.
Things I would have changed:Like others have said the paint will wear eventually. i keep mine in a case to combat this when it is not in use. Also I find the magazine could have had a different design. You have to keep the spring pressed down with your thumb while dropping the bbs from the top. A catch for the spring would have been nice so you dont wear out your thumb.
What others should know:This and the Tanfoglio witness 1911 are the guns I go to most in my collection! Great add on to any airgun collection. If you like the Beretta/Taurus look..get this gun! - Things I liked:This gun is a solid shooter. Convertible to full auto in about 20 seconds. My wife and I have had more fun shooting this than anyone could imagine! Would I recommend this to a friend? Oh yeah, baby!!!!!
Things I would have changed:Not a thing
What others should know:Get plenty of Co2 cause you aren't gonna want too put this thing down. Do the speed load mod and the full auto mod the minute you open the package! Then, ROCK N ROLL!!! - Things I liked:CALIFORNIA BEAR, USA. The weight, feeling of fullness in your hand, and knowing you've got a good-looking piece of hardware in your grasp. Good recoil from blowback. Fits & Looks good even in my shoulder holsters.

What others should know:If you're like me & don't know, or don't want to strip your pistol to repair it, thereby voiding your warranty, then either don't get this pistol; or, if like me, you just have to feel the great enjoyment of holding & shooting a fine-looking weapon such as this one ---- if even for a short time ---- then ony deal with the professionals at Pyramyd Air. I don't work for Pyramyd Air. I've just bought a lot of air pistols from them. Good --- and safe--- shooting !! - Things I liked:Very true to actual 9mm 92F. Action not as smooth aas previous one I bought last year that was stolen recently. Good accuracy.
Things I would have changed:Modify magazine to load bb's easier, I'm an adult so litte bb's squeezed into top hole not the easiest to do.
What others should know:I modified mine to select fire, works great, what a blast to shoot in semi or full, I can get apprx. 3-4 mags per co2. - Things I liked:Very accurate replica, weight, blowback action. Pricepoint is very hard to beat, many guns that are just as expensive don't have the functionality of the GSG 92.
Things I would have changed:Paint is a little thin, needs oil from the factory. I disassembled the gun and used white lithium on all the moving parts, the gun now operates smoothly and does not seem to be wearing. Mags are expensive and time-consuming to load.
What others should know:Bought this gun for a movie prop-- in this respect, it's perfect. It behaves exactly like a real Beretta 92, and has enough weight to it that actors don't look like they're waving a piece of plastic around. I put a couple of dots of white paint on the sights to help with aiming. Accuracy isn't great, but it shoots BB's, which aren't that accurate to begin with. Hits pretty hard. The gin can be easily touched up with a black industrial Sharpie when the paint flakes off, and the match is pretty good. Anyone who likes realistic replica pistols should definitely give this gun a look. - Things I liked:All metal construction except for grips Realistic weight Blowback effect permits redundant "single action" Highly accurate! After firing over a 1,000 BB's this pistol has given me a consisted average of 30% or more of 2" bullseyes at twenty feet freestanding using two hands. Separate magazine that contains CO2 holder - therefore if seal problem occurs just replace the magazine not the whole firearm.
Things I would have changed:If a fast load opening existed as with the Airsoft version supposedly has....
What others should know:You should get between 60-70 shots per cartridge! - Things I liked:Looks and works like a real GSG-92.
Things I would have changed:No speedloader included. No catch for magazine follower - you have to hold follower down and load bb's one by one.
What others should know:It does not fire bb's reliably. I've had it fire short bursts, as well as not fire, with bb's falling out of the barrel. See above. - Things I liked:I like every thing about It
Things I would have changed:I would make it fully auto
What others should know:But I did.. I created a beast it drains a Full clip of 20 in about 1.1 second. I put a mod and made it Fully auto all you have to do is shave down this part inside the gun and that's it look it up on youtube and you will find out how to mode it and it's the fastest shooting gun out of most of my collection and it took me about 5 minutes to mod it very easy!CommentsBy DAVID C from USA on 2013-01-23 0 
Don't worry, ... keep using it & eventually it'll go on full auto ALL of the time. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it back to semi-auto. I had to return it, .... three times !! - Things I liked:Weight, feel, realism...Its all there with this pistol. Function is everything you want in a blowback bb gun. Slide stays open on the last round. Hammer works. Co2 in the magazine. Safety mechanism is perfect. Trigger pull is great. Open ejection port.
Things I would have changed:The paint is ok, but it is going to wear off eventually.
What others should know:Another great blowback for the collection. This gun is impressive. - Things I liked:I personally like the gun. It was well recieved at a recent family function where all my guns were brought out for folks to shoot. Only issue that people did not like was the gun tended to jam. I later oiled it up good with pelgun oil and haven't had an issue since
Things I would have changed:Perhaps oil it up better at the factory.
What others should know:Excellent gun. Just be sure to oil it up before you shoot it. Also lots of fun if you make it full auto which takes about a minute. - Things I liked:Same as beretta 92fs only fires bbs....and does full auto very nicely. Yes, I said full auto. It has nice weight some recoil on the blowback and disassembles like a real beretta 92fs which is handy for clearing bbs that get in where they do not belong. Also has a nice place for a laser. Incidentally the berretta 92fs laser pyramyd air will fit this. In all a very nice gun for multiple purposes from just plain fun to weapons proficiency training and familiarization. Also much cheaper to fire than the real thing.
Things I would have changed:Perhaps an aftermarket hi cap magazine.
What others should know:This and the tanfoglio 1911 will be your favorites. No regrets on either.CommentsBy John from USA on 2012-02-27 0 Just for fun I added a foregrip I had laying around. Now it's not only a full auto... I did the mod... but is quite controlable since it is now a micro machine gun...coolness factor is over the top if not a bit strange. But then again I have seen stranger and far worse airsoft guns. This thing is way too cool. - Things I liked:Of all my guns, this has got to be one of the most exciting guns in my collection. This is mostly because with a few seconds work, it has full auto capabilities and still fits in a holster. Of all my pistols including my steel storm, this one can put more ammo downrange in the shortest amount of time. That makes it the most exciting gun to fire. I might even call this one an assault pistol. The only reason it gets 4 stars for accuracy is you can't get accuracy while rocking a full auto burst.
Things I would have changed:Naturally...LARGER CAPACITY MAGAZINE as an accessory. I chew through 20 shots in about a second.
What others should know:The gun is reasonably weighted and weighs as much as a real gun. That helps deal with what would be a wicked recoil in a plastic bb gun. - Things I liked:I ordered one of these at the same time I placed my order for the Sig 226. Both are fine guns. Great look and feel. Just like holding the real thing. Great blow back. The trigger pull is just unbelievably smooth. Just be care because it takes very little pull to send a shot down range. It is accurate for a BB gun.
Things I would have changed:Nothing. Great buy.
What others should know:Always use a drop of Pellgun oil on the top of the CO2 cartridge before inserting. Also, be careful when you tighten the hex screw to engage the CO2 cylinder. Do not over tighten. Listen for the 'hiss', then give a little more of a turn, just enough to seat it. - Things I liked:Excellent handgun, feels looks like real. It is quite accurate.
Things I would have changed:Only one complain, BB is difficult to reload
What others should know:Buy it you really will enjoy it - Things I liked:All metal construction. Authenticity. Attention to detail. Realistic blow back.
Things I would have changed:Nothing. For the money you get a great buy.
What others should know:I bought this at the same time as the Sig all metal. Both guns are fun to shoot and great for staying in practice. - Things I liked:I enjoy the heft and balance, realistic replication of the real pistol, the cool butt plate on the magazine and the double action. This is one of those guns that just fit naturally as you wrap your fingers around its grip, place your finger on the trigger and squeeze off shot after shot. Also, the smoothness of the trigger pull. This one is easy to pull so be careful.
Things I would have changed:Make reloading bb's easier. It's kind of a pain holding the spring down and forcing bb's into the slot at the top. I would tell the manufacturer to crack down on quality control. Nothing major, but when I received my pistol the painted on white dot for the sights was on the rear instead of the front sight. I nearly got astigmatism before I took the white off.
What others should know:I am a retired police officer and back in the 80' I carried the real version of this pistol. This brings back memories. If you enjoy police stories, I authored a book under the pen name of James Warren titled 'Fears, Tears and Life.' Many memories of my police career.CommentsBy Rick from USA on 2012-03-05 0 Thanks, "e".By e from USA on 2011-09-15 1 hi there speed loading is easy - drill a hole 0.2 " approx 1 .5 inches from the base of the magazine hold the mag stud right down with the left thumbnail then pour iin the BBs in the open slot just above the stud using a SMK/marksman speed loader ( they come free with 1000 bb packs) ; all 18 bbs can be loade up in less than 10 seconds - Things I liked:Feels real.... awesome for me, its very heavy
Things I would have changed:There are paint that are jammed...
What others should know:feels very good on your hand and i haven't tryied a shooting yet - Things I liked:ITS A L L METAL!!! Its dis assembles per a real Beretta(Taurus PT92 actually)and...if You spend a few minutes with a file or die grinder...you can make it full auto!!
Things I would have changed:The mag, its absolutely horrible to load, and becomes tiring enough to make you want to stop shooting. Its a bit of a pig on C02, the plug in the bottom should be a better design. The pricing for extra mags.....You really need more than one to get the most enjoyment from this gun, but the mags are very cost prohibitive!!
What others should know:If You can get past the price(its $150 here in Canada)and the fidgety loading of the bb's...Its a fantastic gun, and everyone who sees it...even those not into guns....are memorized!! - Things I liked:This gun is as close to the real thing you can get, (go on youtube) for the full auto mod , well worth doing - your friends will be in shock. I use a centerpoint laser to get right on target. (Buy a extra clip for long lasting fun.
Things I would have changed:A speed loader would be nice, mags are tough to load.
What others should know:Oil this gun right out of the box to break it in (takes about 5 full clips to break in right. - 12

Things I would have changed:I would have liked to see an adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation, possibly a more durable finish on the gun, and nicer grips. I don't like the way the safety works, having to be either half or fully cocked in order to engage but hey, for the price, I can live with the gun the way it is.
What others should know:I have modded my gun for full auto on the 3-way safety (Safe/Semi-Auto/Full-Auto) and polished parts such as the slide, barrel, guide and the mags...amazing gun now!! Accuracy of this gun is so-so in semi-auto, non existant in full, but hey, it's FULL AUTO!!! This gun is just plain fun to shoot regardless of any comment myself or others make. I recommend full auto in short bursts though, as the co2 cools down so quickly you may find the slide just stops before you have rifled off all 22 rounds. Or you could only load 10-15 bbs and empty the mag in one shot to impress your friends! You only get a couple of mags per powerlet but as I've stated before, who cares, it's fun. If you can find and afford extra mags get some, it makes the experience so much better because it gives the co2 a chance to warm up again while you're firing off the next mag (or 2). Get this gun, you won't be disappointed.
