Barra 009 Full Auto Blowback CO2 BB Pistol

Absolutely love this gun. However the cap to the CO2 is very difficult to put in. I think I got one that wasn't threaded just right and after the first CO2 cartridge the cap has stripped out.

This is my second one! My fifth Barra in total. I got the 1911, the 7" aged finish Schofield and the 5" nickle Schofield. They're great, but this full auto 009... aka.. G18... is so much fun in a completely different way! I've seen the bad reviews about the magazine feed lips, multiple BBs spitting out in Semi, but I haven't experienced any of that. I'm lucky enough to own a bunch of BB guns so it's not like this is my only one that I'm just neglecting and beating into the dirt. I buy a second/backup of the ones I really like, and I've only done that with a handful, this being one of them. So that's really saying something about this 009. I usual trick one out with a laser, dot, light, etc and leave the other stock. It's got great kick. Accuracy is excellent on my first one. This one is no slouch, just not grouping as tightly as the first. That's smooth bore BB slingers for ya. As long as I can get a respectable group at 10 yards I'm happy. If not, I request an exchange, and you should too. I take good care of my pistols and have a couple of magazines for each, so when I feel like plinking I have options. They can't handle being beat up like a toy and left around to get knocked about. They're strong, but not strong enough to resist bigtime wear and tear. Keep them clean and oiled with pure silicone oil, put them away securely when not in use and you should have these things for a while. Don't mess around field stripping these if you don't know what your doing either. Things can, and will, go wrong. This goes for all brands, not just Barra. Having a big collection to cycle through makes it so each one isn’t getting overly used. Definitely register it with Barra. Taking care of them like this will give you a better chance of Barra possibly fixing or replacing something for you if youre not creating issues out of neglect. I haven't engaged with them but I have with other brands and they've been pretty good to me. It's winter where I live so I'm not getting much shooting in. A decent day will pop up every now and then, but once CO2 weather comes back around, which is fairly soon, these 009's will be ripping apart some Splatter targets! Along with the Schofield's and 1911's (of which I have MANY! They're my favorite pistol and Barra's model is excellent!,), and the HK's, CZ's, Beretta's, Glock's, Sigs, Walther's, Dan Wesson's, S&W's, SA XDM's, etc.... They're all dying to get out there and let loose and they all want smoke...and they're gonna get it. I highly recommend this pistol. Take care of it and you shoud be fine. I love it...obviously 😆 cheers!

this is a Nice Gun, the reason for 4 stars and not 5 is explained below. I ordered the 009 and the 1911 so I could have fun in the yard without freaking the neighbors. my first impression is this is a Real looking, very comprehensive copy of the real thing, for that I give 5 stars, weight is nice and seems close to real thing, operation is realistic, over all very nice! the reason to deduct a star was when I tried to shoot the first round of bb's from the cartridge in single shot mode, the gun had a major issue by the 5th shot and the spring that kicks the slider got stuck and then came out the front of the gun! had not even gone through the full cartridge before it did this. luckily it does come apart like the real thing and I was able to see that the Plastic piece that holds the spring in place and butts up against the front of the frame had got stuck and the spring stayed compressed, I was able to wiggle it out and make it slide again, but it was tight and kept sticking. so I ended up adding a few drops of 3 in 1 oil on the cylinder and plastic sliding piece and worked it in and now it seems to be working again, but have not tried the full auto mode yet because of this. I am not sure how come this acted like this, or if anyone else had this issue, but I have devalued the Gun in my collection due to this flaw. adding pics so you can see the parts ( this is a minor thing, but should be known and addressed.) another issue for me, is the way the rail is made on the bottom, I got a laser to put on it, but to make the standard laser fit I had to grind the laser down to fit, they need to add a few slots for the laser screw like on the 1911 which I was able to equip with a laser without modification to the laser.
