    Things I liked: VERY accurate, great trigger, competition style grip, great adjustable sight. I find it easier to load a pellet into it than some other guns.

    Things I would have changed: Takes a fair amount of arm pressure to pump. I put the butt on a table, and push the gun closed. I can't see any way to get around this, and I don't want CO2 tanks to buy and change. Unless you have large hands, your best fit will be to shave off some wood for a correct trigger pull (directly to the rear). Doing this, after shooting a few months, has improved my scores (I used a set of cheap wood files) .

    What others should know: Use a brand of pellet that is consistent, size-wise (GAMO pellets, for one, are NOT). I use RWS Meisterkugeln, as well as H&N Match. Factory says "DO NOT OIL THIS GUN AT ALL" (I asked them why no oiling instructions?). Also, do not store pumped. I've been shooting this about 5 days a week for over a year. Trigger smoothness and accuracy seemed to have improved over time. Note that this gun used to be sold under the GAMO name.

    While it bears some resemblance to the Gamo Compact, I don't believe this gun was ever made or sold under the Gamo banner. If you doubt me, ask the manufacturer or importer.

    Things I liked: Balance in grip is pretty good. Had to modify wood grip for my hand, fits like a glove now. Trigger pull was tested and broke at about 3.25 lbs. Easy to cock piston. Not an Olympic Pistol, but a very good starter with-out costing a VERY PRETTY PENNY. Rear sight is awesome. Three way adjustability, vertical, horizontal, as well as opening width is commendable. First stage trigger adjustment is good. Trigger blade adjustment is very nice.

    Things I would have changed: Difficult to load pellets. Chamber is tight and after a while of loading pellets, hurts finger/thumb. Had to make a tool to help push pellets into chamber so that the skirt would not come in contact with seal and become deformed. Out of box accuracy could be a little better. I know that there is a break-in period and I haven't gotten there yet. Barrel needs to swabbed out every 10 or so rounds to get a tighter group. Loads up with lead. Going to try cleaning pellets to help cut down dirt and debris build-up in bore.Trigger adjustment to bring it down to at least 2 lbs. would be nice.

    What others should know: Start out at 5 meters until you start getting a tighter group. If you start at a farther distance you could miss your target and you could become depressed because of wide grouping.

    By pcp4me from USA on 2017-08-11
    Richard is correct. This is a spin off of the Gamo Compact. It may even BE a tricked out Gamo Compact with a better barrel and grips for all I know! And mine IS pellet picky is so far as it demands match grade pellets to get maximum accuracy. RWS Hobbies and Basics just do not shoot nearly as accurately in mine! H & N or JSB match pellets work wonders!
    By pcp4me from USA on 2017-05-25
    I agree with Joe. H&N Finale match pistol pellets slide right into the breech with just a hint of snugness in the final 1/8". No problem to load and shoot for hours with these. If your pellets are tight, change pellets! Not rocket science!
    By pcp4me from USA on 2017-05-11
    Wow! Clean every 10 shots? I clean mine about every 2000 rounds! I use match or target grade pellets in mine. Why would you use bottom feeder or bottom line pellets in a match grade gun? That is just absurd. The RWS 7.0 grain (proline?) target or match grade pellets work will in mine, but so do most other match or target grade pellets. I was fortunate enough several years ago to get 2 samplers each with about 50 different pellets in it, so I have somewhere between 75 and 90 different pellets to choose to test a new gun. The sampler includes about 25 - 40 pellets of each different sample. Enough to test several guns with each different pellet. Of course I start with common ones I already have a stock of and if they work well, no need to go to the sampler. I only have one gun which is so pellet picky it will perform well with only ONE pellet. Probably should sell that gun! So, in summary, use good match or target grade pellets in this gun, and start with what you have in stock!
    By Richard from USA on 2017-01-27
    Not only that, but if you are cleaning the barrel every 10 or so rounds, you definitely need to find the nearest garbage receptacle and throw those pellets in it. Get some good ones, JSB, H&N, Vogel, etc... It is NOT a copy of the FAS 604 or 6004, rather of the Gamo Compact. FAS is significantly more money.
    By john from USA on 2016-07-30
    It's a rip off copy of the Chiappa FAS6004.
    By Joe from USA on 2016-02-18
    One reason you had a hard time loading the pellets is that GAMO pellets (that come with the gun) have terrible quality control. A pellet should go in with just a hint of being snug.

    Things I liked: The gun is great, it's every thing that it's cracked up to be. Trigger pull is better after moly lube on the contact point on sear.

    Things I would have changed: Put a dove tail on the top of the slide for a red/green dot sight for older shooters.

    What others should know: Great gun for the price

    By pcp4me from USA on 2017-05-11
    Again, this is a target or match grade guns. Typically in matches you are not allowed to use optical sights. So why put that ability on a match grade gun.? You are not going to hunt with this gun. At least I HOPE you aren't! To me it is a challenge to learn to shoot well with this gun with iron sights. When I am capable with this gun, I can shoot just about any of my pistols well, whether scoped or not!

    Things I liked: Sight picture,Balance, accuracy

    Things I would have changed: Loading Port, I think Id make it a upper o fingers could readily access it.

    What others should know: A Big one shoot before you adjust it. It will surprise you. It may seem heavy BUT remember this is a target pistol. It is great value for the money.

    Things I liked: Quality build, accurate, almost no recoil, trigger breaks clean. Wood grips are made for bigger hands but can be sanded down for smaller hands and custom fit.

    Things I would have changed: I painted the back of the front sight white for better visibility. My biggest complaint is that the loading is blind and the barrel has no loading area to drop the pellet into so it some searching is required and it is not the fastest loading it.

    What others should know: This is a target pistol and not a hunting pistol. Stop complaining about velocity. Only the uniformed complain about an accurate 10 meter pistol being to slow. It does everything it is supposed to do. I me have only used 2 pellets so far Gamo Match 7.7 fits very loose and is less accurate, Crosman Premier 7.9 hollowpoint are much tighter fit into the barrel and also more accurate. Using a rest at 5 meters I can put 5 shots into one large hole. To cock it is best to hold your hand up against the rear sight for best leverage(simply put easier). If your hand is only a inch or so forward it requires much more force.

    Well put Bradley! You hit every important point right on the head! Short, succinct, and well written. Great job!

    I agree with Burke. This is for target work, NOT hunting. If it has enough power to get the pellet to a 25 yard target (it does easily!), then you don't need more! Think of it this way....you will use this gun to practice a lot so you can improve your shooting. Then go with some thing more powerful for hunting. IMHO the ONLY pistols powerful enough for hunting are SOME pcp pistols. I am not saying you can't kill small game like squirrels, rabbits, and small birds with non pcp guns, just that you shouldn't! I value a clean certain kill over bragging rights to the least powerful pistol I can kill small game with!
    By Burke from USA on 2015-11-15
    This is a match pistol. How much power do you need to poke a hole in paper at 10 meters?

    Things I liked: grip feels great, nice finish, sites easy to dial in, light weight

    Things I would have changed: I understand it is an entry level match pistol but a safety seems a neccessary item, other than that gun is great as it is

    What others should know: made for big hands, my paws grip it nicely but smaller hands and kids might not take to it so well, pellets a little difficult to load at first but once you get the hang of it they go like clockwork. feels like an exotic and once sighted in you can keep it in a 1/4" group. quiet and worth the money...

    By Burke from USA on 2015-11-15
    You will not find a safety on any match rifle or pistol. Having to deal with a safety during a match would be a distraction. If you have reached a level where you are shooting match rifles and pistols, it should already be deeply ingrained into your mind to always handle with care.

    Another note: This gun is WAY more accurate than most of us can shoot! If you cannot do well at a standard 10 meter pistol target with this pistol, you WON'T with the Izzie either!! So if you got lots more money than most of us, buy the Izzie for the pride of ownership. But if you are a little short on what it takes to buy an Izzie, buy this and it will serve you well!! This is a nice gun at a fair price. Another thing, PA don't sell the Izzie, just repair parts for it? Hmmmnnnnn...are they telling us some thing? Simply put, this gun will suffice for even the most demanding target shooter unless you are competing at Olympic levels.! So for the average guy or even a fairly good target shooter short on cash, this gun is a good buy and a good performer! Also, this gun gets fairly close to advertised velocities, which is unusual, as most manufacturers exaggerate! Kudos to Gamo for honesty! Not that velocity matters much for a target gun!
    By pcp4me from USA on 2017-08-11
    My bad. Error! This gun IS made by Gamo! And I believe it bears a resemblance to the Gamo Compact because it IS a Gamo Compact with a better barrel and better grips! Just my best guess there! But it IS made by Gamo! So I was wrong and my humble apologies!
    By Mark from USA on 2017-07-11
    When you shoot with a gun that you know is a bit more accurate than another, and do you miss the bullseye by 2mm, then you know it was you that missed and not the gun. With the other gun, your not so sure. Accuracy is everything. Yes, I own an Izzy and love it.
    By pcp4me from USA on 2017-04-23
    Note the Izzie now sells for $599.99, and I doubt most of us could get any better accuracy with it than this less expensive pistol. So unless you are actually competing and finishing in the top 5, forget the Izzie and get this gun!
    By 103David from USA on 2015-08-28
    Time passes and prices do change... It should be noted, seven years later that the Izzie now sells for considerably more than twice the price of the Gamo.
