Things I liked:

the KICKBACK! Strong kickback and loud gun! Very powerful! Heavy weight feels realistic. and gun looks realistic too. Has a rear indicator of gun being cocked.

Things I would have changed:

Make gun completely metal...silver body was plastic....used to have ppk bb pistol and that thing was solid metal!

What others should know:

clips are very rare....don't break or lose it or else you'll be sorry!

Things I liked:

Okay, things I like.... Right then. There's a decent weight to it, and the blowback action is very nice. The sound of the slide popping back is quite nice, and it's very convincing as a prop when empty because it sounds quite realistic.

Things I would have changed:

The materials used, and the ridiculous choice of centering the entire gun around the charging indicator to even FIRE more than one shot consecutively.

What others should know:

Oh boy, where to start.... Well, I've owned it for a day and have been reduced to charge, shoot, charge, shoot. instead of charge, shoot shoot shoot, meaning there's a big issue with it's "charge indicator" as this basically is the entire pinnacle of the gun's firing/return mechanism. The magazine's bottom piece(the extra piece of guard) will break off if even slightly tapped. The safety has an issue with falling into safe mid magazine dump. and after about 2 cartridges, the o-ring in the puncture valve will shoot itself off the valve and will need to be pushed back into it.

    Things I liked:

    Accuracy and power.

    Things I would have changed:

    Magazine seems fragile.

    What others should know:

    Great accuracy. I have a problem with squirrels in my backyard. I shot at a squirrel with this pistol from about 7 yards. Dropped it in 1 shot. I was using Umarex BBs. Super impressed.

    Things I liked:

    Consistent throughout the co2 and accuracy is above average. In hand feel and weight is perfect. Cost is great and still surprised after self reviewing, testing and overall wear and tear.

    Things I would have changed:

    Rear sight illuminated dots, which I've machined and filled with hi-glow myself. All metal construction and replace the body chrome with matte black.

    What others should know:

    I've had mine and an additional for my wife over a year now with regular use, cleaning and re-oiling ,it's never and I mean never! Had a malfunctioning issue. My wife and I usually replace a fresh co2 before storage,not recommended by manufacturer! Yet never once had a leaking seal. Accessories such as illumination or lasersights mount up on the provided railing nicely. Youtube videos have multiple options for modifications such as action tension and selection of no blowback and how to get a 20+ round magazine mod. All void warranty! But both of ours maintain composure perfectly.

    Things I liked:

    Pretty much everything except the plastic magazine. Good blowback and slide lockback when empty, good accuracy, decent number of shots from a CO2, looks, controls ( slide lock, de-cocker), white front sight, metal CO2 puncture/retaining screw.

    Things I would have changed:

    Metal magazine, white dots on rear sights, advertise the fact it can be field-stripped ( at least I saw a video of it being done simply by removing the one scrrw on the top - although when I removed the screw and tried to remove the slide, it didn't come apart as easy as the video! I gave up because I didnt want to take a chance on ruining a really nice gun!

    I would like to know what that small black plastic piece is that is sealed in the package with the pistol I. also didn't receive any manuals in the package if I had a manual, it probably would tell me what that piece is. any help would be great. thanks.

    Things I liked:

    Hi all my airguns have all been pretty much bought from pyramid who is the best .I bought this pistol at our local gun shop and fell in love with it.I had to look at the reviews to see if other poeple were having the only problem....The cheap clips..The only consistent complaint..I will order a couple more for 20$ worth it.The one that came with my pistols spring broke and I replaced from another clip that fit but has occasionally made the gun malfunction..So the clips must b purchased for this well made fantastic pistol.And my favorite safety feature is that fantastic decoder.Very safe very powerful accurate reliable..CLIPS!! only bad thing..I will treat my new ones like fragile eggs.lol.

    Things I liked:

    I've found through the years you never can go wrong with the value of a Daisy Power line product.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing.

    What others should know:

    Great entry level trainer and fun short range target shooter.

    Things I liked:

    Gets about 50 to 60 shots per CO2 cylinder, Accurate up to about 35 ft, weight feels good. Great gun for the price. Very well made, great quality.

    Things I would have changed:

    Metal clip.

    What others should know:

    I mounted a Gamo laser sight on the rail in front of the trigger guard. Awesome addition.

    Things I liked:

    Even though the blow back isn't as strong as some guns, It's strong enough. It's very fun to shoot. I like the weightand feel of this gun and loading the magazines is especially easy.

    Things I would have changed:

    I would like adjustable sights. At least at the rear but the ones on it do a pretty good job.

    What others should know:

    I get around 50 shots per CO2 cannister. The knob that tightens the CO2 into the gun needs to be changed some. I have to use a quarter or something in it to tighten the screw tight enough. I've had absolutely no problems with this air gun at all. I am very happy with it.

    Things I liked:

    Look, feel and safety, locking slide on empty, mag release, decocker. Great training pistol. Excellent way to introduce someone to shooting without the muzzle blast that comes with a firearm.

    Things I would have changed:

    Haven't had it long enough, but mags are a little slow to reload.

    What others should know:

    Accuracy? Haven't had it long enough to really check it out.

    Things I liked:

    I'm not going to repeat here what everyone else has said, When I think "Daisy" my first thought is not high quality - solid -gun. I got that wrong. What I liked -- the feel the grip the action the accuracy and quiet,

    Things I would have changed:

    Only thing I didn't like was the sights and I'll fix that.

    What others should know:

    Great fun. Cheap at half the cost.

    Things I liked:

    I like the weight and feel of this gun. This is the second one I bought due to the price, accuracy, blowback and barrel stays open when the last shot in the clip has been fired. For the money, it is a great pistol.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing I can think of.

    Things I liked:

    Can't get more accurate. I can hit dime size bull at eight yards. Gun has great blow back realistic weight with all working locks and release tabs. Gun stays open when clip is empty like real. This baby acts like the real semi pistol. Mag goes in with a positive lock. Mag is plastic but very good quality no problem. Plenty of power, I also shoot at 13 yrd targets with pistol resting on pillow for support and hit bulls eye which is one inch circle.

    Things I would have changed:

    Buy two

    What others should know:

    Get the leg holster it is bad ...!

    Things I liked:

    I like everything about this pistol. It's relatively quiet, easy to load, looks great, and feels nice in your hand. It is accurate, especially considering my shaky hand.

    Things I would have changed:

    Not a thing.

    What others should know:

    For the price, combined with PA service and policies, this gun is impossible to beat.

    Great feel, weight, accuracy and power. No jams (just have shot about 200 rounds). Fun to shoot.

    Things I would have changed:

    The plastic mag for a metal one

    What others should know:

    Has more power than other guns I have that claim to have more power.

    Things I liked:

    very nice weight, good power, even for a blowback action pistol. very well balanced. extremely nice pistol for the price

    Things I would have changed:

    I have to agree with others, it would be nice to have a metal clip instead of the plastic. but even then the clips work perfectly

    What others should know:

    it doesn't specify in the manual, but always add a drop of air gun oil to the CO2 powerlet every other time. with a laser sight on the bottom rail, this pistol is very accurate. just make sure the laser is a small profile one. there is nothing on the pistol that doesn't function. the slide release,safety,mag release and hammer release all add make it feel very realistic and a perfect pistol for real fire arms training.

    Things I liked:

    really realistic, heavy and on average in fps is sort of potent. the built is mostly metal and the chrome does not stand out in a bad way. Nice piece

    Things I would have changed:

    the BBs clip is on of the few platic parts and is not that sturdy. I wish to see a model with this issue improved

    Things I liked:

    Cool looking pistol. Like the two tone look. Feels mostly all metal. Has a de cocker, a safety slide switch,and slide catch. Blow back is good, not heavy, but fair. Accuracy good. Another good feature, it has a metal tab, not plastic.

    Things I would have changed:

    Plastic magazines have to go. I can not understand why they just don't make that extra effort to make metal magazines. I'm sure, all would agree, they would all be willing to pay a little more for a metal magazine. Also the bottom of the plastic magazine is open, not covered.

    What others should know:

    All in all I like the pistol. For the price. Buy one.
