Things I liked:

I like the power and it is accurate. With ordinary average 7gr pellets it doesn't even make the 500ft/sec mark, shoots about 40ft/s faster than my CP88 comp.

Things I would have changed:

I would stop advertising it as a 560ft/s gun because it isn't unless you use the lightest pellet you can find 4gr or so

What others should know:

My Walther / Umarex Cp88 Competition fires those pellets at (PBA Platinum ) @ 560 ft/s. I looked on your website a while back ( anything on website can be changed in seconds ) amd was impressed by your claim of 560ft/s I am am Engineer and looked all over the sites at that time, well over a month ago( as did others ) to find out what what pellet was used in the tests to come up with you 560/ft/s. and could find no information on the website what pellet was used. Like I said my CP88 shoots lightweight pellets at well over 500Ft/s so if a lightweight pellet was used to make your 560ft/s I would not be interested in buying it as my Walther has a 6 inch barrel and your PT85 has over 12 inches of barrel and doesn't shoot that much faster. So with my engineering background I figure the greater velocity was due to the increase ( over 6 inches ) in barrel length which made sense to me. Just to make sure I emailed the shop I bought it from and asked them about it and they told me they don't test the guns and I should contact Gamo if I wanted the information. I contacted GamoUSA and recieved this message "All our guns are tested with a standard 7-8 gr. pellet" which has proved to be a bald faced lie, possibly intended to make a sale as I explained why I wanted to know.

Things I liked:

When I saw this gun and did the research both on Google and Youtube I was very impressed with the accuracy and what you received for the price you paid. I received my shipment on time and in full however there was an issue with the gun when I received it. I returned this product for new one and there was no issue with the return and sending out the product. The original product I received had a serious issue with the red dot sight as there was an o-ring inside the scope housing that was not seeded properly and in turn was blocking the view through the scope...rendering it totally useless. I called customer service to see if I could send just the scope back however I had to return everything. After waiting a week for the replacement I received another complete package and when inspecting the product discovered that I was sent another defective product with the same issue. Very discouraging because I know I will have to send the whole thing back again.

Things I would have changed:

When I called customer service to discuss the issues I had to leave a message and I would get a call back very quickly (it took 11 days to get this returned call). When I called back and tried to talk to different department to see what to do the only answered I ever received from the product support department was to fill out the return form for return authorization. I will say this was very quick and thought that maybe the original problem I has with the o-ring was a one off....I was mistaken and now I'm waiting for a new return authorization to return this for the second and last time or I will ask for my money back. I would also ask that if a return is made for a certain product defect and another is sent out to the customer please inspect it. Nothin worse than valued customers running into the same issue because according to your return policy the whole package has to be sent back.

What others should know:

Be aware of this issue before you buy this product...very frustrating because I have good money tied up in this and I want it to be right. Once I receive the proper package with all products working than I will be more than happy to add to this review. Good luck everyone and ask questions. I did insert a picture of the issue for reference.

    Things I would have changed:

    All the add ons were poorly made. Low battery power. Sight ( later) didn't fit gun??. Make it a real fps gun

    What others should know:

    The flash light is useless. The laser sight didn't even fit gun and the dot sight is touchy. Gun is way under powered

    Things I liked:

    Fits the hand nicely. All the accessories that came with the gun was also a plus! It works great and is a fun fun to hunt down pesky mice as well as plinking the target range.

    Things I would have changed:

    A brighter tactical light would have made this a great package deal.

    What others should know:

    With the o2 tank operating the blowback it dose tend to use up a tank fairly quickly so keep a supply of fresh o2 tanks available.

    Things I liked:

    The look of this weapon is awesome! The ease of adding the accessories to the rails but it does require dexterity. Everything comes with this purchase to start using it right away.

    Things I would have changed:

    A list of ammo that you CANNOT use with this weapon would be helpful. I had to research the GAMO website to find out what I should not use in it. Sometimes the pellets fall out of the clip...not good!

    What others should know:

    Your customer service team is the absolute best! Very quick and efficient.

    Things I liked:

    I like the sixteen pellet magazine,

    Things I would have changed:

    pellets kept getting stuck in the barrel and would not leave the magazine I oiled and greased all moving parts and now it seems to be firing as it should.

    What others should know:

    Keep all moving parts well lubricated and you should have no problems.

    seems to be very accurate at about 20 feet

    Things I would have changed:

    the co2 doesn't last very long , about 32 shots , the sight rail is very loose no matter what I have done to tighten it .

    What others should know:

    this was supposed to be re-manufactured but was dirty , greasy and missing the second clip , also was re-packaged poorly and had dead batteries for the light , dot sight and laser. John

    Things I liked:

    Decent plinker for the money. Not pellet picky, as long as they fit in the mag. Even polymag shorts work. Matches claimed fps @ 562fps with PBA and warm co2. 516fps with 6.5gr barracuda greens and warm co2. Seeing a 70fpsvspread between warm and cold co2.

    Things I would have changed:

    The red dot zero change reported by other reviews is NOT from the bridge mount. The forward, lower portion of the frame ( where the moulded in rail is ) is VERY flexible. The slide is very lose fitting. The barrel moves around a bit in its plastic shroud.

    What others should know:

    If you're willing to tinker, this thing could be a better performer.

    Things I liked:

    The and looks are stunning (but that's about it)

    Things I would have changed:

    The pellets keep jamming constantly. used the very expensive (recommended) ones but still, jamming. Problem is that the pellets move due to the blowback causing the jam

    What others should know:

    The looks are great but the usage possibilities are horrible. The (fake) suppressor is not fit tightly. Each time there is a jam you have to take the whole gun apart, take off the scope, light and laser, then take off the rails, then take apart the gun, get the pellets released and .... assemble again. Horrible design. The jam happens each magazine. I purchased extra ones and exactly the same happens.

    Things I liked:

    Overall look of the pistol.

    Things I would have changed:

    The Quad Rail and the Barrel.

    What others should know:

    I sent this pistol back. I purchased my own red dot sight and after mounting it a zeroing it in, the quad rail kept on moving and throwing my sight out of zero. Always had to re-zero it which was a big pain. Also, the barrel moves a tiny bit on the suppressor when fired. The barrel inside the suppressor is only pushed into, I think, some rubber piece to hold it in. Overall, not that bab except of the two items. I would not purchase this again unless the company (Gamo) changes the problems.

    Things I liked:

    Very solid air gun. Some rambling inside though. Overall a very nice and solid piece. Alignment of the laser and sight has not worked yet hence I am only using the sight. Heavy duty and true quality.

    Things I would have changed:

    Not much, overall I am happy with this purchase.

    What others should know:

    Every time I use the GAMO Platinum pellets there is a jam hence that is very dissapointing. I stopped using Platimum ammo for that reason. Regular pellets (7.2 gr) work without any problem but the FPS reduces when using heavier ammo.
