Tanfoglio Gold Custom Reviews

Great price, bought it on sale, All metal construction, even the mag is steel, very heavy gun, eats CO2's, two mags per CO2. With a blow back gun that's to be expected. I have a Colt Camander blow back and it goes through 3+ per CO2. This is a great pistol, a blast to shoot.

The pull back knob on the slide is mounted on the right side, I don't know why, unless it interfears with a speed holster. The knob is very easy to move to the left side, just unscrew it. That's the only thing I would change, but like I said, no big deal.

Eats CO2's, buy a bunch when you order the gun.

nice solid gun shoots accurate

none

buy lots of c02

Full weight just like the real thing, very comfortable. it will be great for practice and just plinking.

Delivery was right on the day they said. Looking forward to the nest purchase.

WOW where to begin. It is absolutely one of the coolest looking, most realistic feeling airguns ever made. Shoots like a dream, handles like a true centerfire pistol. Accurate powerful delivery of the BB with consistent repeatability. The blowback and locked slide after the last BB blows people away. They cannot accept that airguns have reached this level of sophistication.

A rail on the dust cover would making mounting a laser or light simpler. I love my red dot optic but it really isnt necessary to have a huge adapter on he side of the gun just for your sighting. Since this is so realistic there are no standard sights whatsoever. Just like a race gun used by the professionals. Also a lock out on the magazine spring to make loading BBs easier

I own a Tanfoglio Gold Custom in 45 ACP and that firearm impresses every one who sees it, handles it and shoots it. I had to try this as a dirt cheap trainer and I am here to tell you it is close to a CO2 powered clone as is mechanically possible to produce.

Accurate, nice blowback action, feels nice in the hand.

Function longer than a few months.

Started out really great, loved it. Put a red dot on it and it was fun to shoot. But started malfunctioning after only a few months of occasional use. It would not lockout on the last shot and worse yet, it would randomly act like an automatic and dump all the bb's and the co2 would just empty out. Would go through a co2 in one magazine.

The weight, and feel.

Get rid of rail, and hopefully publish this review.

It devours CO cartridges, lose of power after 2 mags, I would not recommend this gun to anyone, I have $30 Umarex, that is a lot better than this,so In closing it is overpriced, and I made a mistake buying it, hopefully this review will prevent someone from making same mistake

Extremely well refined and lifelike. Looks, feels, handles as the real one. All-metal construction, full mag, field-strippable. For right-and left-handed shooters, as both the weaver rail (which is NOT permanently attached as the description leads you to believe) and the racker knob can be switched to the opposite side to suit all shooters. Good recoil to help improve target re-acquiring.

The weaver rail can drop if not properly tighten and will affect red-dot sight accuracy and end up touching the slide, affecting the blowback efficiency. Make sure you tighten those screws well. It would have been great to see a bundle offer from PA with a red-dot sight included.

Make sure you have/buy a red-dot sight, or just shoot from the hip and hope it hits your target where you meant to.

Very well made, hefty for a blowback B.B. gun , minimal plastic parts , mostly all metal and very accurate, Sale from pyramid air was 99.00 cannot beat the price. Also has a great trigger for a blowback B.B. gun at this price point.

Buyers should know - to check sight rail mount for proper elevation in the back , mine was canted down in the back , sights would not align for elevation - Easy fix 1-remove rail mount screws 2-apply small amount of blue Loctite-reinstall screws keep them slightly loose 3- wedge something underneath Rearsight rail 4-tightening all screws on rail mount let Loctite dry overnight before removing object propping rear of rail up.

Lube slide rails with good lubercant , I use Slide-Glide standard grease , I remove slide and add a small amount on slide rails using Qtip.

I no I was hasten on the looks of this pistol. Saw that it had metal grips, thinking it was going to be uncomfortable to the hand. I was wrong. It fits me hands perfectly. It has great weight and a solid trigger. Has exceptable accuracy at 43 feet for a smooth bore BB gun.

Flat black rail would be better then the silver. But thats just a personal choice.

Pull ever screw and thread lock them. As mine came loss in three magazines

Every single thing on it

Shots per co2 and higher fps.

For me it's my best BB gun.

Great Price on Lighting Deal Balanced & Wade Out Perfect Blowback Fun to Shoot

More rounds

n/a

Full metal and I mean full..excellent accuracy. nice snappy blowback, easy to load, head turner....

Would have liked more power....

Excellent for target practice at short range. ....

HEFT, ACCURACY, SMOOTH TRIGGER, SNAP SOUND (Blow Back), ALL METAL, AND ABOVE ALL $PRICE$.....

Not much, maybe more shots per C02, more FPS......

Get ready for a heavy but well balanced extremely accurate pistol......

Everything, the weight, the feel, accuracy, quality of construction, my favorite pistol.

Be able to purchase new magazine "tips" that hold the bbs. Extra magazines are too expensive.

This is a very cool gun yes you could be picky about some of the fit and finish but it only cost $130.00. If it was finished like my Ed Brown .45acp race gun it would cost so much very few could afford it. I have shot 2 1500 packages of Umarex bb's through it. So far zero issues if you don't over load the mag. I have a steel challenge range for airguns in my back yard and it is a blast.

Do not like the metal grips at all. Will be making wood grips soon. waiting for the wood(cocobolo) to arrive. Extra mags are way to expensive.

I can not get the gun to function well with the advertised number of bb's. I load 10 per mag and can shoot all day long with no misfeeds

An incredibly realistic look and feel. Very substantial.

Should come equipped with the dot sight. I didn't get it with my order, and I've had a hard time finding one locally. However, it won't fit in the box with the sight equipped!? Also, not crazy about needing the allen wrench each time...but it does provide a tight seal.

VERY tight loading spring...need a strong thumbnail to hold it while loading. I couldn't find a recess to lock it. Maybe I just missed it. All that being said, if you want an incredibly realistic bb gun, this one is for you.

I love this pistol! It's the most accurate bb pistol I own. I am getting one inch groups at 20 feet. It may not have spin up, but there's some kind of stabilization going on. I can put all the bbs inside a one incn square. I went with the center point reflex sight and it works well with this gun. The circle works great if you want to speed-shoot pop cans. All in all it looks VERY real. Even to the point if you cycle it by hand without a clip in it the ejector port opens as if it is ejecting a real shell. There are no mold marks on this gun and the checkering is clean and sharp. It cycles flawlessly, if a bit light, but the speed of target acquisition is great.

I don't like having to leave the hammer cocked all the time. If you try to put the hammer down even gently it shoots and cycles the next round. I don't think this os very safe. Also, if you take the clip out and you didn't shoot all of the bb's out, there is still one in the gun. Be warned! Also, you need to locktite the sight rail. If not, it works loose pretty easily and interferes with the slide and throws off your sight picture. Just don't crank down too hard because it is aluminum.

This isn't toylike by any means. It is so close to a firearm that if you don't have a clip in it, you really can't tell the difference if you don't see the .177 on the ejector port. It looks like a 9 mm handgun. It feels like a 9 mm handgun. and it ACTS like a 9 mm handgun. It's a really good backyard shooter to keep your firearms practice up.

Beautiful full metal gun. The slide pull lever is supposed to be on the right hand side for us rightys - remember the gun has to be placed on a speed holster.

My slide was a little stiff that it gets stuck if I did not snap back the slide. After a bit of TLC with a clean and lube, all was working well. The paint finish in some places needs to be better. But overall it is a great gun - it sits well in my hand.

If it could come with a red dot, it would be perfect! Oh, if you much with the z rail, be sure to adjust it again so that it sits level. If not adjusted properly, it could rub on the slide.

the realism , The heft, just like the actual firearm.

easier loading of the magazine

Beautiful, full metal gun. Good ergonomics and light trigger pull. Blowback slide. Nice heavy gun, yet well balanced.

Low FPS @ 330, would like it at 400.

You need to buy a sight separately for this gun. There are no fixed sights, only the rail. Rather than the reflex sight I preferred a tube style dot point. I recommend the 1x26mm ITA Red-Green Dot Sight, it looks great! Also, the only reason I rated this at four stars is because my gun had a lot of small scratches on the slide. Although these are light scratches and not noticeable at arms length from the eye, if you're a stickler for details you will definitely notice them. Other than that this is a great looking gun for your collection and in my opinion well worth the money.
