Accuracy

Trigger pull is terrible on mine.

Nice medium weight, smooth rotary mag slide release lever, 3 DOT SIGHT, feels good in hand, smooth trigger, easy co2 load, pellet or BB, accurate @ 20', realistic profile

More power fps for a slightly higher price. (400 + range). No complaints for price. . . .

Nice rotary pistol for target plinking action. Extra mags is a must 8 total before co2 loses steam. Overall nice action pistol at a decent price.

Fun to shoot. 8 pellet magazines are easy to load. Buy 6-10 so you can keep shooting on one CO2 cartridge. I left my CO2 cartridge in the gun for 3 days and still could shoot. Shoots about 70-80 pellets per cart.

Need to hold the pistol as you would shoot to keep the cartridge screw so you can grip it to seat the CO2. Takes about 2 turns. Need to be quick, or you will lose some gas.

Shooting 1/2 gallon juice bottles from about 20' won't penetrate the plastic. More fun than shooting break barrel rifle, since you get 8 shots per reload. Need to count in your head up to 8, since you will shoot blanks if you run out of pellets in the magazine.

Im used to buying the higher dollar air pistols but I saw this one and went ahead and purchased it. This is the first one Ive purchased under a $100. I didnt think I was getting much for the low price. Even after I received it I didnt think much about it. Then I picked up again put a co2 in and loaded it. I went out back and fired it. After handling and firing it I changed my mind. I like it. For the low price its a nice pistol.

Right now nothing that I can think of.

A cheap price for a nice pistol. Dont always judge a air gun by its low price like me.

Well priced, aesthetically pleasing air pistol with the option of switching from BBs to pellets, a feature I had never seen before. Heavy in the hand which gives it a nice heft. A great replica

Trigger pull, trigger pull, trigger pull. And accuracy.

A fun plinking pistol that's very affordable but don't expect performance grade shots.

very good look alike.picked up a .22 cal.of the PPQ and they are twins

trigger pull way to heavy

must have strong fingers for trigger pull.

I like the feel handle and above all the way the Co2 goes in.this pistol is very accurit and very powerful on the first 32 shots then it drop just a little but still got some power left.my shooting range is from 1 foot to 50 this pistols accuracy is great to 30 feet useing tuna cans as targets.

I would add better sights to this pistol more pellet capacity bb capacity as well

this is a very power air pistol easy to load easy to shot very real looking as also in weight balance really great value for the dollar you cannt go wrong in takeing a good long look at this pistol.

I own a PPQ M1 and wanted this as a trainer for the basement. The look and feel are right on. The weight is close. I found the accuracy to be good.

The trigger bites the big one. I know they could have done better. Accuracy would be much better with a better trigger. Maybe even make it a blowback.

It's a fun gun to shoot and if the trigger will get better with use, the gun will be even more fun. Great for basement shooting and outdoor plinking. I'd buy this one again.

The grip, the weight, the size, the appearance. When I unpacked this gun I said, "OH COOL!" I love the size and it fits my hand perfectly! I can't wait to shoot this fun little thing! Shot it! Crap, what's the matter here? trigger dry? Stuck? ???? Shot it some more and put it down. VERY disappointed! If I could curl 50lb weights with my index finger I might really like this!! By the time the trigger released I was shaking so bad, I missed the broad side of the barn (and I was inside)!!

AHHHHH---- The TRIGGER action?

buy something "funner" I regret not sending it back.

The gun looks so real, and it feels great in your hand. The grips have a nice textured feel, and fit in your palm well. The sites are easy to see and seem to be spot on for anything under 20 yds. The pellet clips are easy to load and I haven't had a single jam when using the RWS Diabolo's. I like the safety on this gun. When its engaged, it makes the trigger disengaged and there is no danger of it firing.

The really only negative thing is the trigger is sorta heavy. But you have to remember, the trigger is doing all the work of cocking the hammer, and advancing the clip to the next chamber. If you squeeze it slow, you can tell where the firing cycle is about to take place and it makes it a bit more predictable.

Do like I did and order extra clips because your going to shoot it so much your going to want to keep the action going.

Comfortable grip, solid feel, good price, availability of top rail.

Trigger.

This gun has the most awful trigger of any gun I've ever shot in my life. And I say that as someone who does not at all mind heavy triggers. The trigger will just not break. It's practically impossible to enjoy shooting this thing.

I love this gun. It is a pellet and bb shooter, however, with a rifled barrel I prefer to stick to pellets mostly for the accuracy but also don't want to risk damaging the barrel with steel bbs. The omission of blowback doesn't detract from the fun of shooting this gun. Utilizing the rotary mags that have become an Umarex standard is nice because they work in so many guns that purchasing spares allows you to use them in more than just this pistol adding to the value. The CO2 compartment access in the grip is very cool and very solid. The attention to detail is stellar even with faux mag on the bottom of the grip which is part of the CO2 compartment lock which also hides the piercing screw. The accuracy on this pistol is fantastic with the addition of an adjustable rear sight. The crisp snap of the slide is very hard and sure when accessing the mag compartment. The unadvertised trigger lock with the slide open is a fantastic safety feature ensuring that there will be no accidental discharge when closing the slide from the muzzle with a loaded mag. Well done Umarex! The safety is very easy to manipulate, unlike a lot of pistols of similar design. This gun is a lot of fun to shoot and looks absolutely authentic.

I would like to see the trigger pull a little lighter even though it's Double Action only.

This gun is just plain fun. It's an accurate replica and is relatively accurate on the target. The heavy double action trigger does affect accuracy a little but doesn't stop me from shooting it. Plinking is a blast, but I wouldn't use this for any competition target shooting due to the heavy trigger pull. Good buy for the money.

This is an excellent Umarex replica rendered in high quality polymer. It feels like a real gun with a smooth double action-only trigger pull. I love the way that the CO2 is inserted. It has windage adjustable 3- dot sights. It is very accurate.

I would give it a hair more power at the expense of less shots per CO2. However, it has enough to stay on target for quite a while. I would prefer white paint for the 3-dot sights, but the yellow does look like night sights, so no bigee.

I only shoot pellets in mine to protect the rifling from BB's. I find that it likes H&N Plinking pellets, Beeman Wadcutter, and Winchester Flat Nose Pellets the best. It works best with Daisy, Gamo or Umarex CO2 cylinders.

I was surprised that I actually like the yellow sights.

Double action only trigger hampers accuracy.

Lots of fun for the money.

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.

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.

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.

This pistol is very authentic looking. I can see how police might think this is the real thing.

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.

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.

1- Style 2- weight 3- Compact design 4- balanced 5- sturdy 6- good mechanics 7- Concealed CO2 canister

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.

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!!

Inexpensive, very accurate with pellets (I'm hitting easily soda cans from 15 yards) and a very good replica of a real firearm.

For the money you are paying - nothing.

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.

The look and fell in the hand is great. Build quality seems good too.

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.

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.

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.

They should of made the pelet clip out of the lighter plastic also

Will be returning to PA to exchange for a differebt gun. Will try the Game PT85
