This is a nice pistol for the price. I found the plastic detail of the body and grips to be well done. It will hit tin cans at 10 meters with regularity and uses the CO2 efficiently. The green rear fiber optic sight and the white dot target front blade sight lines up well on the target and presents a good target picture.

Sliding the pistol grip rearward to load the CO2 could be a little smoother however in time, this will most likely smooth out. No other major flaws have been found in the short time I have owned the pistol.

Looking at this pistol as it came in the plastic clam shell, it begged for a laser sight on the included weaver rail. I searched the Pyramyd accessories page under laser sights and found the Crosman model 0423 laser sight. This unit fits very well but needs a thin shim for a tight fit. I cut a small section of the plastic shipping package and this worked perfectly. The on off rocker switch can be activated with the extended finger tip while holding and firing the pistol. The sight stops right where it should at the end of the barrel and has held zero after repeated use. If you want to go more tactical with this pistol, buy the Crosman weaver rail, the kind that comes on the Nightstalker TK along with the Crosman tactical flashlight. Both of these are available on the Crosman website but not at Pyramyd. The rails cost $5.00 for two and the light cost $15.00. The rails and light are of very good quality aluminum and nicely crafted. The rail and light can be mounted on either side. You will need to clip off about a 1/16 section of the screw to insure proper clearence. The rail will snug up very secure allowing for mounting the weaver 1 inch flashlight ring that is supplied with the light. You will need to center the rail and drill two 1/16 inch holes for the self tapping screws. Note, you will only be able to drill into the pistol slide about 1/16 of an inch before you hit a metal interior component. I mounted the light and rail on the right hand side, covering up all the legal disclosure language displayed there. This leaves the SMITH & WESSON M&P 40 logo visible on the opposite side. The safety also on the right side is not obstructed by this installation and remains functional. The end result is a nice realistic tactical looking M&P that now weighs more like the real weapon with better balance. Either way, in stock form or customized as outlined here, this is a very good bargin and all for well under $100 even with all these additions.

i like the feel. it is replicated after the s&w M&P 40 with few differences in detail between the two. real good value. the mag is designed for 19 to 20 BBs depending on how it is loaded. mag has real nice weight.

it would be nice to have extra mags available for separate purchase in packs of 2 and/or better yet to have included with the pistol 1 extra mag. it would be really really good if it had blow-back capabilities like the crosman pro77 pistol.

BB mag is located in front of the Co2 chamber on the front inner side of the grip. the mag release is exactly like the real thing, one push of the button behind trigger and mag drops down. it is a real good idea after 50 or more shots to put 1 to 2 drops of oil into the tip of the barrel.

Accuracy is not bad for a smooth bore BB. Nice feel on the hand grip Nice drop out ammo mag Good price

You get want you pay for....does not feel real compared to CP99 compact or even CPSports

If you want just casual plinking this should be fine for the price. But if you want a more realistic feel without getting the real thing - consider something else

cheap,fun,accurate has good power for a bb gun

the handle where u put the C02 in..It moves when you pull back on it slightly? no biggie tho

get the gun,great price,great value from smith & wesson

feels like the real thing, cartridge is easy too load.

should have blow back action, most guns like this do.

great first gun for young child, great price!!!

Looks like the real thing. Accuracy is better than you would expect. Got the gun around 2 weeks ago and put the first co2 cartridge in, still shooting on the same one!

Nothing so far.

This air gun is the same size as the real thing. Fits M&P holsters and works great for training without having the cost for real ammo.

I haven't been able to find any extra magazines for this pistol. It would be great if you could buy extras.

Great gun for the money.

simple. reliable. reasonably accurate - mine will hit a soda can at 25' almost every time (call it 95%). Great rear sight - would be better if front matched. Uses the CO2 efficiently.

Weight/balance are different from the real thing. The CO2 cartidge access is a little klunky. Nothing I would consider a major flaw in this price range.

Hard to say how durable it will be, I only have 100 or so shots though it so far.
