Tanfoglio Gold Custom Reviews

The precision and the light trigger. With a red dot sight it is a good gun to train with and have fun.

None

You will have to use loctite (Blue 242) to keep the mount fix.

This gun has a great look and feel. It is a hoot to shoot; fairly accurate for a smooth bore BB gun; I have shot only at 5 yds so far. The blowback is very realistic.

The magazine release sticks out too far and is very easy to hit by accident. I have dropped the mag several times. AND if I lay the gun down on its left side on the release button, the magazine will release. Be careful with this.

Despite what several other reviewers say, the magazine's BB follower DOES lock down but it takes just the right touch. Pull the follower down so the very tip is below the square cut out below the BB loading port. Then rock the follower back so the tip is under the cutout and release it very gently. I will catch on the cutout - it takes practice but it works every time. I can do this with my thumbnail, but it works better using a small/3"-long screwdriver.

Excellent gun for practicing skills. Shooting bbs is very cost effective and this gun has the feel of shooting a semiautomatic .22.

Add pellet gun oil to the kit.

Put a drop of pellet gun oil on tip of CO2 cartridges prior to use. This increases cartridge life. Be sure to use an oil appropriate for the chamber.

this BB pistol is awesome, add a weaver red dot and your good to go. I love it and have purchased two of them, I converted one to open iron sights and use them daily at my home range.

if you own a real tanfoglio gold match pistol this is a must have, dimensions and weight are nearly identical, the picatinny red dot rail fits my real 9mm pistol and I use it with a weaver red dot

good feel to it.

I can't believe that this thing doesn't come with ANY sights on it!!??!! You are just left pointing it in a direction but not able to aim. It seems funny to rate its accuracy since there is no way to measure accuracy. You have to guess.

the heavy feel of the pistol and magazine are very realistic. very accurate for pistol.

I had a problem with the only two plastic parts. The plastic tip on the loading slide broke within two clips. The plastic piece that screws into the magazine to seat the 12 gram stripped out and I had a real hard time getting it out . With a little thought the manufacture should be able to fix these problems. So be careful.

For the money, the Tanfoglio Gold Custom is probably the best BB pistol that you can buy. There is even a better value in buying the Gold Custom Metal Pistol Kit, as the kit includes an extra magazine. This pistol is surprisingly accurate; at 3 yards producing tight one inch groupings. Excellent trigger response and realistic blowback action make for a truly rewarding shooting experience. This pistol is also field strippable. Thus, allowing you to easily service the pistol and keep the blowback function running smooth.

Nothing

You are going to get about 50 good shots per CO2 cartridge. After you take the pistol out of the box, lock it into a gun vice and properly align the sight rail with the pistol. Be sure to use Locitite on the set screws.

I had a problem with my original purchase, Pyramyd Air did an outstanding job and took care of me, (much to my satisfaction) within one week! ( and it was the week before x-mas), the service is first class and fast and the employees are very knowledgeable and helpful, that's why Pyramyd has been my go to dealer for over 20 years. The Tanfoglio is extremely well made, very accurate, and much fun to shoot and practice with. In my opinion this is a best by if your looking for a quality bb pistol.

the replacement magazines are a bit expensive (but very well made), so it is probably more practical, if you want a second magazine to consider buying another pistol kit as I did, or buy the pistol kit with the extra magazine. The shot count per crossman c02 capsule is around 55-60 full power shots with mine, it is understandable with the blow-back action, and the real feel upon firing, I just with it was a little more considering how much I enjoy shooting this gun.

Accuracy is great.

I don't like where the safety is located. And it could be smaller.

The trigger is light and crisp. The BBs self-load without any problems. The pistol shoots great at high ragtes of fire and is accurate in slow fire.

I removed the rail mount and dot sight to decrease the bulk. There are no fixed dot sights however using the barrel and the rail mounted to the cocking handle... it shoots very tight groups.

There are no fixed 3-dot sights. Shoots great. Buy lots of CO2. Very grown up BB gun. Perfect for low cost simulated practice or indoor shooting.

The fact it is all metal. Its has an excellent trigger, 2 lbs or less. Very accurate for a BB pistol.

A longer barrel for a higher fps.

The actual barrel is 4.25 inches. The identical length as in the "Limited" model. So the compensator is only for looks. Great gun though. I bought both models and the magazine s are inner changeable. $49.00 for the spare magazine? Just purchase the "Limited" model for around $100 during a Pyramyd sale.

I shoot a Tanfoglio Gold in 38 super and if you blindfolded me and handed me my own gun or this one I would be hard pressed to tell which was which. Shooting action is different of course but that is only because I have modified my Gold 38 for my own trigger pull. Blow back works great.

Nothing

Buy it plain and simple!!

The heft, trigger, the moving slide and hammer. This gun feels like the real deal.

My only complaint would be the loading of the magazine and I can get past that, easily enough. I might suggest having a set of steel sights added so if I don't want to use a red dot sight.

After just shooting two magazines through it I can tell this is my new favorite air gun. This gun moves after firing. Dare I call it recoil, but the action of the slide causes movement. Not harsh, but a very smooth movement. I like this as it forces you to regain your sight picture like a real firearm. My gun lasted about 2 full magazines before the CO2 gave out. I did have to oil my slide a little also. Would I buy this gun again? Absolutely! I highly recommend it.

This pistol is rock solid. I have a lot of experience with the .45 version with nearly the same set-up and this air pistol feels, functions and shoots just like it. All metal construction. Sight was zeroed in after one co2 cartridge with 3/4 inch groups at 25 feet. It's not a target pistol as much as an accurate "race gun" but still very accurate for what it is. I got about 50-55 shots out of each co2 cartridge.

The loading spring has a lot of tension and no way to keep the feeder "locked open" so it's going to chew up your nails holding it down to load.

Weight and balance. Complete race gun platform. Accuracy, realistic blowback,appearance, fit in hand, ambi safety, included holo sight

Charging handle original on left side. Some handle rub on upper rail on left side, less co2 use. Included Tube style loading device like Marksman Gold BB'd package.

One should Lube mag surface behind bb loading stem or it will damage as Ive seen in similar or same style magazine.
