Things I would have changed:instead of the flashlight i would have a laser
What others should know:I cut the barrel just at the end of the gun, polished nicely the cut and screwd back the suppressor. I had to cross my finger and to say a prayer first, 'cause I was almost certain that the pellet will hit the inner edge of the suppresor...but...SURPRISE ! It didn't and it shot as it was nothing in front of it. Very important ! You must polish the cut VERY WELL otherwise it wil create small sharp edges that will hit the pellet (stay in the way) or on the exterior of the cut...will clog the screwing area and the suppresor will not align. The air inside the suppresor will create a buffer area and it will diminish somehow ( but not 50%) the noise. Anyway...I wanted to have a detachable suppresor and now i have it. I think overall is a good air gun.

Things I would have changed:make the silencer removable because under the meatal "cover there is a tube
What others should know:what i did with the silencer is cut the tube under the cover and hot glued it in the cover(warning doing so could caus major damage to you or your gun if you dont alighn it proporly)

Things I would have changed:Make the laser dot turn on and off with the same switch controlling the flashlight. A little expensive, but I found it to be worth it
What others should know:I had the regular GAMO PT-80 pistol before I bought this one. I liked the CO2 use of the regular PT-80, but the accuracy and velocity wasn't very good, so I took a chance on this one. I'm very pleased. After I dialed in the dot sight with a couple of eight round clips this gun fired right on target. On the third clip, from 20 feet, I took one test shot, missing center by a 1-1/2". I then rested my hands and pistol on a steady surface, centered the dot on the target again, and pulled off the remaining 7 shots in 5 seconds. I got every shot within a quarter-sized area. I performed the same test from about 40 feet and still kept shots within a silver dollar sized area--excellent! Again, this pistol and the regular PT-80 are also very good with CO2 use, getting 60 shots per cylinder consistently and sometimes a little more.
Things I liked:It shots as good as it looks. The accuracy and velocity is great with this setup. The barrel is 8 1/4" so the velocity stated by Gamo is underrated by at least 100 fps. The trigger-pull is not hard at all (single or double action); after a C02 you'll love it. The metal red dot sight is excellent. The removable suppresser is all metal. The attached metal flashlight is bright enough. The heft is just right. - The whole kit comes in a very nice hard case.By Customer from USA on 2009-08-21 18:43:31

Things I would have changed:How about 4 or five rotary mags instead of just 2 ? But thanks for the extra battery.
What others should know:If you're thinking about it, just get it : You won't be disappointed...
Things I liked:The barrel extension to 8.25 inches significantly enhances velocity and accuracy at distance. The actual Chronographed velocity was above 500 fps with alloy pellets and over 600 fps with the mortor style plastic pellets from Predator. You can brace with your second hand by gripping the light mount.By Customer from USA on 2009-07-20 10:53:34

Things I would have changed:I added a second piece of Velcro to the bottom of the light mount to store the pressure switch for day use.
What others should know:This is a great value with the velocity significantly under rated. Seven point one to seven point nine grain lead pellets exceed 400 fps in a warm grip.
Things I liked:The pistol looks amazing. Only took 7 rounds to sight in the red dot. Very accurate for this price range. More power then I had expected. Comes with a case.By Timothy from USA on 2008-04-29 16:15:42

Things I would have changed:More metal. Especialy in critical areas, ie.. barrel break lever, trigger assembly, safety switch, tabs on the grip to load co2. Gamo clames to make airguns for adults. Well adults like metal.
What others should know:Due to the extended barrel and red dot sight the pistol is very top heavy. Make sure to cradle the barrel when releasing it for a reload. It will snap forward putting undo strain on the plastic housing if you don't. This pistol looks and preforms so well I'm just afraid to break it . Mabye I just worry to much. I guess time will tell. The trigger pull is a bit hard. Though very consistant. Once you get used to the break you won't give it a second thought.
Things I liked:Feels solid in your hands! The light is super bright, but doesn't have much practical use as I don't think it has enough power to kill small animals.. But it is extremely fun to shoot targets with and looks amazing with all the attachments - too bad they are mainly just eye candy ..By Mitchell from USA on 2008-04-11 19:27:24

Things I would have changed:The red dot sight isn't very useful. It is much more easier/fun to aim without it, and it also puts the gun off balance because of it's weight. Also, the silencer does absolutely nothing to silence the gun - if you unscrew it it is just empty inside it but has an extended barrel, so I guess it's a little more accurate.
What others should know:Pyramid air shipped the gun to New Zealand (the country just below Australia) in only 5 days!!! Super fast!! I highly recommend this gun :D
Things I liked:Absolutely superb...looks cool, very easy to shoot and accurate to the letter on a given target can. Well worth the money; but then again what else would you expect from Gamo. Very affordable fun you can enjoy even alone.By Customer from USA on 2007-12-26 18:56:59

Things I would have changed:Serves the purpose!
What others should know:Quite powerful, very accurate, impressed by the accuracy. Intend to use this for a postal shoot just to avoid the drudgery of my Crosman multi pump. Very enjoyable time without spending the mint.
Things I liked:Comparative value for a full Tactical pistol. More power and less money than the Nighthawk. More comparable to a T4 OPTS but with more metal and still less money. Plenty of power and acceptable accuracy I think due in part to an actual extended barrel not just an attached compensator. Barrel is one piece 8" long not the 4.25 stated in the specs from the PT80. Red dot works surprisingly well with a smaller than expected dot available. Flashlight is of high quality but I could care less, although it does support the whole Tactical theme.By Dan from USA on 2007-09-25 10:49:02

Things I would have changed:Lighter trigger pull! (hopefully this will work it's way in and become smoother and lighter) My regular PT80 is lighter eventhough it is the same gun. Why does Gamo give 3 mags with the less expensive gun and only 2 with this one? Would love a cartridge system like that of the Daisy 008 or the T4.
What others should know:Lets face it, Tactical pistols are mainly bling guns and made to look good and play the part. But to find one that works is a good thing. I'm sure they all do. If all my minor complaints listed were fixed it would surely result in a more expensive gun. At this price, with this power and accessories the included case and Gamo's name I can't complain. I have to recommend this to anyone interested in a powerful fine shooting Tactical gun.
