By Roy from USA on 2012-04-18 09:31:54 Things I liked:The accuracy and the weight of the pistol, number of shots per cartridgeThings I would have changed:Make CO2 loading easier What others should know:Quality control at manufacture is terrible, I tried 3 of these before giving up on this model. The 1st on would not feed pellets 1st on would fire then the cylinder would not feed the 2nd, 2nd one had a non-working safety - would fire whether on or off, the 3rd one had a defective seal at the end of the barrell - it would dislodge when the cylinder moved to the next round. Pyramid however was excellent regarding the returns. |
- Things I liked:Excellent value (far less expensive than other pellet pistols), realistic replica of M&P 45, great training pistol, accurate, single / double action, shoots bb's and pellets, great feel
Things I would have changed:larger capacity magazine, lighter double action trigger pull, should be able to shoot pointed hunting pellets
What others should know:Don't hesitate, lots of 'bang for the buck', money well spent!!! - Things I liked:Umarex is to be commended for the level of detail in this gun. It looks very much like the actual M&P 45 firearm. Although the exterior is mostly polymer plastic, it still has a good comfortable weight and feel when held and fired. This gun shoots well in both double action and single action even though the double action trigger pull is a little hard and long. My accuracy with a variety of pellets was good with clusters of 1 to 2 inches while shooting freestanding in my basement range at about 15 feet from muzzle to target. The gun itself is probably more accurate than that. My hands were a little unsteady. Using both Umarex Walther CO2 and Crosman CO2, I got a total of 104 good power shots. I was able to get an additional 8 low power shots, but I had to move in closer to the target for those.
Things I would have changed:Lighten-up the double action trigger. I would also like to see a blowback version of the S&W M&P 45 with a pellet magazine similar to the one used in the Beretta PX4 Storm.
What others should know:Since most reviewers don't talk about the specific pellets they used, I am going to. The following pellets were successfully shot from this gun. The wadcutter pellets were Crosman Premier Super Match, RWS Meisterkugeln Rifle, RWS Meisterkugeln Pistol, JSB Match Diabolo Light Weight, H&N Match Pistol, and H&N Sport. The domed pellets were Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum, RWS Superdome, H&N Field Target Trophy, and JSB Exact Diabolo. The pointed pellets were Crosman Premier Super Point, RWS Superpoint, and H&N Spitzkugel. All of these fit well in the rotary magazine. Out of the 10 rotary magazines I currently have, I have found only about 1 in which the Crosman domed and Crosman pointed pellets are too snug to shoot well. - Things I liked:almost like the real m&p 45.
Things I would have changed:softer trigger
What others should know:it is not blow back - Things I liked:This is a very accurate gun, many shots per C02 easy mag changing. Feels like a real gun, price is not bad for what you get.Looks real cool just like the real gun.
Things I would have changed:not a thing
What others should know:Buy pleanty of Co2s and pellets you wont be able to put thin down. great plinker and target gun at 10 meters. - Things I liked:This is a superb pistol especially considering the low price. I have fired about 8000 rounds through it, mostly single action. Accuracy is amazing. Tested 12 different pellets, all except cheap ones had 2" or less groups at 10 yds. It likes RWS Meisterkugeln Rifle best, then RWS R-10 and then JSB Match Diablo Exact Heavy. Using RWS M R, Crimson Trace CMR-201 laser and a 0.3" black dot as a target at 10 yards, braced sitting, it will routinely put 8 shots in a group covered with a dime when I do my part. (When the laser dims, it's on target) The trigger was somewhat rough to begin with, but smoothed out to an acceptable level after 1000 shots or so, and is no longer noticible. The grip is about the same as a real M&P 45 medium grip, slightly large for me but a good compromise.
Things I would have changed:Lighter smoother trigger pull initially
What others should know:Seriously consider a laser to improve your skill since it quickly shows faults if you don't blink. - Things I liked:The accuracy and the weight of the pistol, number of shots per cartridge
Things I would have changed:Make CO2 loading easier
What others should know:Quality control at manufacture is terrible, I tried 3 of these before giving up on this model. The 1st on would not feed pellets 1st on would fire then the cylinder would not feed the 2nd, 2nd one had a non-working safety - would fire whether on or off, the 3rd one had a defective seal at the end of the barrell - it would dislodge when the cylinder moved to the next round. Pyramid however was excellent regarding the returns. - Things I liked:Has a good weight and feel to it, easy to load, and adjustable sight is a nice feature, also, the CO2 charge lasts for a good while
Things I would have changed:lighten the trigger pull, it's heavy in the double action, but if you cock the slide,it is an easy pull.
What others should know:Don't use the RWS Hobby pellets that come with the package, they jammed on me, but the RWS Meisterkugeln pistol work great. - Things I liked:The weight and feel of the gun, single action feature, accuracy, number of shots per cartridge 100 at 52 degrees.
Things I would have changed:More power, I also own the S&W MP BB pistol which has much more power and gets about 150 shots per cylinder. Better quality control on part of manufacturer, I am on my 3rd one from Pyramid Air due to defects with the 1st 2, they did shine with their exchange process though. Manufacturing quality has nothing to do with Pyramid - they are top notch.
What others should know:Beware of the o-ring at the rear of the barrell dislodging, and of the safety not working. - Things I liked:Weight, Feel of gun in hand, easy to see sights, CO2 loading ease, number of shots per CO2 (over 100), Single action feature.
Things I would have changed:Better Quality control from manufacturer, higher velocity would be nice, I also have the S&W MP BB pistol it has much higher velocity.
What others should know:The first two I ordered had problems, third one was the charm, Pyramid could not have made the exchages any easier - I dealt with the same person both times and she was extremely helpfull. They will get more of my business. - Things I liked:This pistol works well... It is a good combination of 8 shoots, CO2 and accuracy... I like a lot air arms, but no CO2 ones... This one works ok.
Things I would have changed:Triger is very heavy.
What others should know:For short shooting (less than 20 mts) without having much punch, this is an excelent choose: pellets, 8 shots and enough accuracy. - Things I liked:Solid feel. Very good finish. Easy to load CO2 & pellets/BB's.
Things I would have changed:Could ship with additional pellet/BB magazines. - Things I liked:Feels a lot like my S&W 9mm in my hand, just lighter. It gives me the chance to practice with a below $0.03 per shot versus 20 cents and up. Plus, I can practice at home and do not have to drive to the range! An eight shot magazine makes practice more realistic than one shot at a time on my Crosman1377 pumper. It seems to be more accurate than I am.
Things I would have changed:Trigger pull is much too heavy. Sometimes I feel that my finger is not strong enough. It does seem to be getting less heavy as it breaks in.
What others should know:I'm very happy with my purchase of this product and with Pyramyd. - Things I liked:At 25 feet, shoots very nice and repeatable. Has a nice feel and the laser sight worked well with the accessory rail.
Things I would have changed:Trigger is heavy. Lighter and smoother would be nice.
What others should know:Careful when you open the slide to change the magazine, if not held vertical the mag will fall out. - Things I liked:I had a blast last night shooting this gun at 20'. I had nice tight groupings. a little off the bull, but I quickly learned where to aim, and was blowing the bulls out of the target!
Things I would have changed:trigger pull is HARD, and a bit unpredictable- sometimes smooth, sometimes rough. manual cocking is tough too- slide is hard to pull back. I'm hoping it smooths out after some time.
What others should know:works great with either pellets or BB's. A lot of fun to shoot. slide is hard to pull back to shoot single action. double action, trigger is hard to pull! take your choice! either way, it is a good gun, and is worth the money to have in your collection.CommentsBy David from USA on 2012-01-11 1 
The gun cocks a bit harder than normal because it is also rotating the pellet clip as well as compressing the hammer spring. Most other so-called "single action" pellet shooters make the trigger pull do the clip rotation before firing. - Things I liked:Sights: Three dot pattern jumps right out at you. Weight: Decent. Finish: Very realistic. Accuracy: Awesome right out of the box. It consistantly hit the bullseye right at the top of the front sight at ten meters.
Things I would have changed:I don't like all the warning messages on the right side being painted on with white paint. They should have been etched into the gun like the trades on the left side. I would also make it a pellet gun only. I don't shoot BBs out of it. Besides my BB magazine only held six BBs. Two just kept falling through while I tried to load it. Yes, I was loading it from the correct side.
What others should know:The description states that it is double-action only. That is incorrect. To shoot single-action just pull the rear of the slide back just lke on the Walther CP99. Overall I think this is a very good gun, and a considerable value for the price.CommentsBy David from USA on 2012-01-11 1 BB magazines are available. Just order the ones they list for the Umarex Walther PPQ. They are the same.By Lee from USA on 2011-12-20 1 When I tried the Daisy zinc-coated BBs they all fit in the magazine very tight. Now I'm enjoying shooting BBs as much as pellets. The Crosman Copperhead Premium BBs are not uniform. Also make more BB magazines available. The pellet magazines are already plentiful. Great gun. - Things I liked:Great feel just like a real weapon. Clip removal and loading is a lot better than Crosman and Daisy. Terrifc price for what you get.
Things I would have changed:Make available extra clips.
What others should know:If you think of buying a Crosman or Daisy look at this one first, you will be impressed. - Things I liked:A hit for Umarex. Overall well built and well thought out. Fits my hand well and the shots go where I point. I shoot at 22 to 24 yards and eat the 1 inch bullseye out of the target.
Things I would have changed:Offer a dot sight rail acessory.
What others should know:Price is great for a rifled barrel pistol, buy it.CommentsBy Charles from USA on 2011-11-08 2 "Is the S&W M&P pistol capable of one-inch groups at 23-24 yards? Of course not. It would be one of the most accurate pellet pistols on the market if it were. But at 25 FEET it is more accurate than I expected. Especially with JSB RS domes and H&N Finale Match Pistol pellets. This gun wants to group."This was pasted from Pyramyd's own Airgun blog.If you're going to write a review on a product at least be accurate and don't embellish. bobtodrick is absolutely correct.I didn’t shoot at 25 yards because there is no point. It will probably group eight shots in the 3-5 inch range if everything is done right and the best pellets are used. I don’t think this pistol gives us any surprises other than it is very capable for a blister-packed air pistol.By bobtodrick from USA on 2011-10-20 1 1" at 23yds! Really?? I hope to see you at the 2012 Olympics, you should be able to easily win with shooting like this..with this gun. For those reading who don't realize it, I'm being sarcastic. 1" groups @ 23yds with this gun..HAHAHAHABy James from USA on 2011-09-07 1 It has a laser sight rail (weaver mount) under the barrel. I use these Crosman 0423 Laser Sight, on mine. Works great and is very affordable.
