By craig from USA on 2011-04-16 12:08:31 Things I liked:I ordered this gun the minute it was available and have not been disappointed. It is a great combo shooter at a low price. I do prefer to fire pellets rather than bbs though this gun in order to benefit from the rifled barrel. The magazines are easy to load and fun to hold and fire with nice blowback. I ordered a Walther P99 red dot sight and it fits but looks awkward and I have not sighted it in just yet.....but think it will work out fine. My guess is that this will make a nice target pistol. It is a really nice looking gun. Buy extra magazines even though they are expensive but they are of good quality and should last for some time. I recommend this gun.Things I would have changed:nothing What others should know:Very inexpensive and high quality for the price |  |

By Otis from USA on 2012-12-03 19:55:18 Things I liked:This pistol is very authentic looking. I can see how police might think this is the real thing.Things I would have changed:This weapon's rotary magazine constantly jams. I read about this problem in other posts so I spent $10.00 to have it checked out before shipment. I do not know how it passed PyramydAir's tests as I have not been unable to shoot more than four shots without it jamming. What others should know:You should know that this PyramydAir tested, checked out pistol that was sent to me is junk. It is totally unreliable and not fun at all to shoot. I feel that I was ripped off. The trigger is a very long, hard pull. Very sloppy trigger. |

- Things I liked:I really like the attention to detail that Umarex has put into this airgun replica of the Walther PPQ. Although the exterior is mostly polymer plastic, it still has a good comfortable weight and feel when held and fired. Despite the long double action trigger pull, it shoots well. It's not quite as accurate in my tests as the Walther CP88 Competition pistol, but it's still pretty good. I shot a variety of pellets and was on target with clusters of about 2 inches. The slide release is smooth and easy, and I like it much better than the one on the Walther CP88 Competition (see my review submitted Jan 2013). Total good shots before losing power: 112 with Umarex Walther CO2, and 104 with Crosman CO2. The availability of extra rotary magazines is another advantage to buying this gun.
Things I would have changed:Give this gun a combination double action / single action trigger. The easiest way Umarex could do that is to make the back half of the top of the gun a slider that can cock the trigger. Umarex built that feature into the Smith & Wesson M&P 45 pellet pistol, and they should do it with the PPQ. I would also like to see a blowback version of the PPQ with a pellet magazine similar to the one used in the Beretta PX4 Storm.
What others should know:Accuracy shooting tests were performed free-standing in my basement at a distance of about 15 feet at 66 degrees Fahrenheit. All of the following pellets were successfully fired from this gun: (wadcutters) Crosman Premier Super Match, RWS Meisterkugeln Rifle, RWS Meisterkugeln Pistol, JSB Match Diabolo Light Weight, H&N Match Pistol, and H&N Sport; (domed) Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum, RWS Superdome, H&N Field Target Trophy, and JSB Exact Diabolo; (pointed) Crosman Premier Super Point, RWS Superpoint, and H&N Spitzkugel. - Things I liked:This pistol is very authentic looking.

What others should know:You should know that this PyramydAir tested, checked out pistol that was sent to me is junk. It is totally unreliable and not fun at all to shoot. I feel that I was ripped off. The trigger is a very long, hard pull. Very sloppy trigger. - Things I liked:1- Style 2- weight 3- Compact design 4- balanced 5- sturdy 6- good mechanics 7- Concealed CO2 canister
Things I would have changed:1- I hate the trigger, its very long to pull 2- Trigger hangs, locking up, so you miss the shot. It locked up on me several time while trying to take out a nasty rat. 3- Accuracy becomes a hit/miss because of the trigger issues.
What others should know:I wished it had an ammo magazine in the pistol grip instead of the rotating gizmo in the middle of the lock. Looks and feel very realistic, not for children!! - Things I liked:Inexpensive, very accurate with pellets (I'm hitting easily soda cans from 15 yards) and a very good replica of a real firearm.
Things I would have changed:For the money you are paying - nothing.
What others should know:The trigger is heavy at the beginning, but go through a 300 - 400 pellets and it should be fine. I can't put it away now. - Things I liked:The look and fell in the hand is great. Build quality seems good too.
Things I would have changed:The trigger is awful. It has a very long pull and has sticking points which, if they were predictable, you could deal with. Accuracy is acceptable at best.
What others should know:I literally just got this gun and have only put about 100 rounds through it. Hopefully a break in issue. The accuracy with pellets was only as good as with Avanti precision ground BBs. - Things I liked:My first review was written only after I shot just the BB clip that worked fine. Later I tried the metal pelet clip and NG. Will fire off one pelet from metal clip and then trigger will jam. It does not want to rotate the cheap metal clip and does this every time. Also an o-ring fell out and I wasted two co2 cartridges because it would not pierce all the way through. I and could not turn screw any more.
Things I would have changed:They should of made the pelet clip out of the lighter plastic also
What others should know:Will be returning to PA to exchange for a differebt gun. Will try the Game PT85CommentsBy mike from USA on 2012-06-30 0 
You should read the directions it says to seat the pellet into the mag. if i forget to seat them the trigger will jam. - Things I liked:Feels heavy although it's plastic but hard to really tell. Easy load of BB or pelets and co2
Things I would have changed:Trigger guard too close to trigger. Definatly a finger scraper especially if you have large fingers
What others should know:Get extra clips because the gun is hard to put down. Excelent back yard plinker and fairly loud too. - Things I liked:Réplique très réussite, bonne précision , hausse réglable, visée sympa détente agréable, prise en main parfaite !!
Things I would have changed:le moulage plastique de la culasse laisse à désirer : les bords sont rugeux et peux agréable lorsque l'on passe les doigts dessus. - Things I liked:Construction of items purchased at outstanding. It would be helpful if you would inform customers in print what comes with or item or not ie c02,oil, pelletsComments
By Edith from USA on 2012-02-05 0 hub--Pyramyd Air DOES state what comes with the gun. If you look at the above description, you'll see that the bulleted list mentions a BB mag & pellet mag. Guns that include ammo, oil or CO2 will state that specifically (those are the exception rather than the rule). It would be a very long list if we had to state all the things that are NOT included with a gun. - Things I liked:I own a P99 40 cal and a P22 from Walther and I was impressed with the design of the P99 Q. when it arived I shot the 8 Rotary mag with the pellets and it jammed after the first 2 rounds were fired. I then read the manual and it was my fault for not reading it first. After correcting my mistakes it fired as advertised. I'm happy with this Airgun and would recommend it to anyone interested in airguns. I like the option of shooting Pellets and BB's. Be sure to purchase more magazines as you will need them.
Things I would have changed:Only thing I would change would be the Yellow sites for the white! Trigger could be a little softer on the pull.
What others should know:As the manual states: You should keep it clean and every now and then put a drop of RWS Spring cyl. oil on the tip of the CO2 Cyl. before inserting to keep the valve from drying out. As with any gun Always read the manual before shooting. - Things I liked:Good accuracy right out of the box, windage adjustment is great. Love the heft and feel.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:With the optional top rail and a Walther MRS dot I'm getting 2" groups at 40'. Absolutely fantastic and fun pistol for the price, you won't be disappointed. - Things I liked:Quality construction, Nice feel and weight. Compact size with reasonable power and accuracy. Easy loading. You will be proud to show it to your friends!
Things I would have changed:You can get used to the trigger, but I would think it could have been made lighter. Still not a bad pistol at this price. It would be hard for me to say there is another at this price that I would prefer.
What others should know:Easy to load, don't even mess with bb's. It has a rifled barrel and shoots pellets quite accurately. Buy more magazines. Squeeze trigger past the "hump" till it lightens up then finish squeezing off the shot. Pretty accurate if fired that way. - Things I liked:It fits your hand really well, the weight is just right, and the accuracy is very good from a rifled barrel. Another hit for Umarex.
Things I would have changed:Nothing at this point.
What others should know:Get a mount rail and dot sight and improve the distance accuracy of your shooting. - Things I liked:the weight and feel of the gun
Things I would have changed:the trigger pull - Things I liked:The feel and weight of the gun is good. The gun loads and shoots well both bb's and pellets. The accuracy is good at 20 ft.
Things I would have changed:I like the gun and would rate it higher if it didn't leak CO2.
What others should know:The gun leaks CO2 out of the box. I use crosman CO2 and the Umarex representative said the necks on these are short and to try another brand. - Things I liked:Weight: this co2 pistol has a very nice weight to it. It feels very sturdy and very well made. Internals from what I can tell are all made from metal which is a nice thing and made me feel better about my purchase. I am posting pictures of my pistol with a low profile all metal laser. the bottem of the laser has a weaver mount built into to hang a flash light under it..
Things I would have changed:Yellow dots for the sights needs to get gone, dim light and they become a tad hard to see.. the front sight yellow sticker came off, I thought they where painted on. I ended up using a white out pen and carefully dotting the sight dots white.
What others should know:Great air pistol and deff worth the price, a buddy of mine has the pellet cp99c with the laser built for it.. both guns shoot the same fps but the. This one has a much better feel and imho due to the weight of the pistol the accuracy is a tad better between the 2.. - Things I liked:Will shoot BB's or Pellets. Fairly accurate with pellets.
Things I would have changed:Has a long trigger pull. Would be nice if it were shorter and easier to pull.
What others should know:Shooting BB's, they shoot wild. Seem to be all over the place Pellets shoot good. I use the RWS Diabolo Basic wadcutters. These seem to shoot fairly straight. - Things I liked:Everything except for the trigger, this gun is truely one well built gun
Things I would have changed:The trigger needs to be a little lighter, after about 250 pellets I am adjusting to the trigger. But it still has a heavier pull then I would like and also needs to have the pull shortend. Would love the sights to have white dots and not yellow. If the trigger got a remake this gun would be 5 stars across the board.
What others should know:It is well worth the money I have this gun and a crosman 1088 and the walther is miles above the crosman. Now that I have owned this pistol I can't wait to get one of the higher end models. - Things I liked:Solid feel, solid performance
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:I've had many pistols and rifles and like to shoot pellets for fun, if you do to, then this is a good choice. - 12
