Page 3 - Gamo PT-85 Blowback Reviews

Nice looking, blowback feature is pretty cool. Seems to be a nice powerful pistol.

Very disappointed with the condition of the packaging. It seemed like the gun had been opened previously; not a big deal until I tried to shoot it. The pellets started jamming in the breach and wouldn't allow the clip to release to drop out. I was using recommended pellets, so I had a sense somebody had tampered with the gun before I got it and the pellets weren't firing right.

Gun lookked like it might be a lot of fun; but after spending over an hour trying to un-jam it I gave up and decided to send it back. I really wanted the power, but now I'm hesitant to look at any pistols where they use a clip that is so difficult to remove with a jam.

the gun jammed first time i used it manage to unjamm it then it would not fire the pellet out of the mag ! I could,nt send it back ( custom,s ) Gamo told me they don,t send to the UK Gamo UK said they could,nt help because it was a import and to send it back to were I got it FedFx who brought the gun in to the UK cant take it back because of custom,s So I am not a happy bunny and I am stuck with a gun that does not work !!!

This gun is very scary..it can shoot throught 6 cans..

nothing

a little bit heavy...but feel like a real gun,sound loudly..

The look and feel, blow back action is cool good power and accurate.Very cool mag design

The price, we all want to pay less dont we?

Well made gun. lots of fun to shoot, buy 7.0 gr or lower pellets. Barrel is full lenght of fake shroud

I love this things accuracy, and I love this things power! This has pretty big kick. I like pretty much everything about this pistol...I would definitely recommend this puppy to anyone.

The laser sight included with this kit has a little clear plastic thing near the lens. It broke off or something, so I had to glue it in place. Otherwise, there is nothing about this product I would have changed.

Because of the large amount of kick I think this takes C02 quite fast...I usually get about 5 good clips (around 80 shots ) then the power starts to die off quick.

the slide action is pretty cool,fun gun to shoot,very accurate,and very powerful this is the best co2 pistol I own it's great

make the barrel shorter so the fake suppressor can come off with out exposing the long barrel

the barrel is as long as the suppressor so that the pellet will not curve and get jammed in the suppressor that's why the barrel is so long

Look and weight is great...feels solid. Blowback action is as expected.

Make CO2 cartridge use more efficient... Your shots weaken after around 25 shots...But at 560fps it feels like your shooting a rifle at first.

Blowback moves shot upward... making sighting in your laser very difficult but doable. Overall I would recommend this gun. It is so much fun to shoot.

THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL PISTOL. VERY ACCURATE I HAVE A BSA SCOPE ON IT I HAVE PT-85 ALSO A ND THEY HAVE A VERY VERY GOOD TWO STAGE TRIGGER. THE SOCOM IS MUCH MORE POWERFUL.

I THINK GAMO SHOULD SEND EVERY ONE THAT HAS A SOCOM A EXTRA MAG. THAT WONT HAPPEN

IF YOU WANT A FINE POWERFUL PISTOL GET ONE i would like to see a video of this pistol.

Power- plenty of it. Solid build quality. It only needs 1 12 gram CO2.

I had an issue with the trigger spring not coming back completely into place, which made the magazine release button hang up and not allow the clip to come out- I called Gamo, and they were very helpful in trying to understand the problem, and said they had never had an issue with it to their knowledge. My replacement gun is on its way, and I'll gladly stick with Gamo guns.

You'll get between 32 and 48 shots per CO2. Also, by about April 2011 they should have extra clips available for sale, according to Gamo.

POWER! This gun has it to spare. WAY more powerful than the Steel Storm I had before. I LOVE THIS GUN.

Include spare magazines, or at least make them available for purchase. Make the fake suppressor removable without leaving the the rifle barrel exposed.

It does misfire often, but it's not a big deal-just keep pulling the trigger till the 8 rounds are gone, and flip the mag over for 8 more.

real gun weight,the look,cool mag,powerful,fun to plink with.

as with every air gun extra mags,lower price,make rear site adjustable

get a good scope this kicks hard a cheap scope wont last.

Fun.

Make spare magazines available.

Solidly built.

size,handling,accessory rails,nice heft to it,looks,nice gun for the money.

Add more metal,make extra clips availible

It's about the usual handling as other similar guns in the co2 field.

Style of weapon and double clip are intuitive

No need for the blow back slide. Trigger needs to be adjustable. Sights and adjustments. UNABLE TO SIGHT IN WITH SCOPE OR LASER

Even though you must be over 18 to purchase, the weapon should have ORANGE safety color to prevent and immature 18 year old from being shot

It is very accurate and cool looking

Would like to see the blow back action index the pellet as well as cock the hammer, the current design is sort of a cross between a real semi auto and a revolver.

I mounted a Leapers 30mm Red Dot Scope and the gun is dead on. I only get about 32 useful shots per CO2 cartage

This is one great air pistol!! The blowback action is smooth and realistic.. I opted for the SOCOM version so I could add the accessories of my choice on the 4 way weaver rail. With a laser or the dot sight, this thing is dead on accurate! And have I mentioned powerful! Im using Beeman coated hollowpoints, which fit in the rotary clip perfectly, and it absolutely destroys my home fashioned targets!! Co2 insertion is a breeze, and the magazine goes in with an audible click ensuring that it's in all the way. Good weight and very comfortable in the hand. Love the single/double action. The safety also acts as a de-cocker.

Make the clips out of metal. Change the placement of the safety to the left side, closer to my thumb. Include a locking slide mechanism, so the slide locks back when each clip in the magazine is empty. And finally, possibly relocate the magazine release to the right side of the gun. .Completely removable compensator (with threaded inner barrel (probably impossible though!) These are just only minor annoyances, and in no way interfere with the performance of the pistol. One caveat...it does NOT come with a spare magazine, as stated in the manual. Great gun overall though. I highly recommend it!!

You'll need to rack the slide back a few times when you first get this. It's a bit sticky, however doing this will help evenly disperse the lubricant inside, freeing things up considerably. Same goes for the trigger. It at first wouldn't completely return after each pull, but after a few cycles of racking the slide and pulling the tigger, all action is very smooth. You must remove the 4 way weaver rail entirely to allow you to use the iron sights. The side mounts on the rail can be removed to shave off some weight, and to reduce the overall footprint of the pistol. The mock compensator is made of metal and does thread off, however it reveals the elongated barrel inside. Best to leave it on!! The magazine looks suspiciously similar to the ones available for the Beretta PX4 Storm......hmmmmmm......

This is my second feedback. I had a shooting test, and the result is very perfect like what i expected. Very accuracy if you know how to aim with the mount..or you have to take the mount off. I tried both..and i think i shot better without the mount anyway. The blowback action is also great. tried hold the gun 1 hand and shoot for about 3 or 4 shot you will feel it. I have 4 guns 2 blowback and 2 clib. a

again,.i like the grip be metal or heavier

great barrel over all. It is removable so you can clean it easily. I did not shooting it yet. Will try it tomorrow.

As described...the run is about 2.32lbs..but actually it is just about 2lbs or lower. The grip is light. The body plus the compensator is heavy make the gun lose it balance when hold it. Should make the mount wider a little bit i think about half inches.

The mount contacts with the slide and scratches the slide..it it very awful feature of the gun. The gun is not really heavy as i expected. The gun should be heavier it will make the gun perfect..especially the grip.
