Umarex SA177 BB Reviews

Feel weight and realism

I would change the blow back system for sure, they should have made it real, (the blowback would put a bb in the chamber. all it is, is a co2 port facing backwards that meets up with a seal that is on the slide, so when you pull the trigger co2 puts a bb out the barrel and pushes back the slide from the back facing port. A little cheesy if you ask me. also the mag could have been designed better. the trigger pull is VERY hard.

My gun that I had purchased must have been very poorly made. The seal for the blowback right away broke, and fell off. I glued it back on and it sort of worked. Another thing is the magazine, the top metal spring loaded peice that keeps the bbs in until they enter the chaber quickly wore down, so my bbs would fly every where one I released the spring at the bottom. I had also tried to fix that with superglue but only lasted a short time. My trigger was EXTREMLY hard and not consisntant.

This is a very close feel to my Glock. I bought it specifically for that reason. I get close to a 100 or more shots out of one CO2. The sights are very good visibility on dark targets. The magazine is very easy and fast to load unlike other BB action pistols. Blowback is nice and strong.

Somehow get that trigger to be better. It is almost like a finger workout device! Luckily I think in some weird way it will help with a combat Glock trigger. I said I like the sights and I do, I just wish they would have made the front a fiber rod as well. The white plastic is a little lame. But I guess Glocks are normally three white dots. Also I wish the slide was a bit harder to rack. I think they get the blowback from the spring form the super heavy trigger and not necessarily the slide...hard to say.

If you have Glocks and want something to train with buy this. The trigger is really the only real deterrant and that can be dealt with. It shoots a lot with one CO2 and is fast and pain free to load. All in all a great value

Very , Very accurate,nice blowback,good power, more than 100 rounds for co2 cartridge.

Front sight

Slide lock after the last round, but the trigger still working.no spare mag available

i really like the fibre optic sights and the blowback action on this gun it is also a great replica of a real glock. and the rail allow for you to easily mount a flashlight or laser on it

the slide is a little rattly and the trigger pull is hard and long

great replica its also great for all the glock lovers out there

Very nice pistol for the money. I'm using it to practice markmanship for about $0.005 a shot instead of $0.40 per shot! Using this translates well to a real glock, minus the recoil.

The gun doesn't fit into standard Glock holsters, which is a disappointment. I have several holsters, even some for the larger G20, but this gun doesn't fit. My desire is to use this to practice "first shot" draw technique.

Punches right through a soup can. After about 20' the BB's often begin to curve, but this gun is excellent for up to 20'.

Clean smooth double action trigger pull. Really excellent magazine, doesn't let the bb's fall out, easily removed, kind of nice the slide stays back when mag empties. Accuracy is just ok but then it's not a rifled barrel for pellets and it's a short barrel.

blowback action is a waste of CO2 power. Modify the air gun such that the blowback action cocks the weapon and enables single action or simply eliminate it. Additionally, insertion of the magazine should release the slide rather than having to manually release the slide. The 'safety' insert or small trigger in the main trigger is useless/cosmetic, the air gun can be fired without depressing the little trigger...just eliminate it. Safety on the RHS is ok, I like the safety on the HPP which is on the left. Umarex needs to field a fully semi auto blowback with both single and double action.

This is a double-action only air gun...the website says this but the pyramyd air staff that answered my telephone request was unsure of whether the blowback action cocked the air gun...it most certainly does not.

THIS IS A GREAT GUN AND AT A GREAT PRICE GOT MINE IN THE MAIL TODAY PUT ABOUT 1000 BB'S THROUGH IT ALREADY AND QUIT A FEW CO2'S HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEM LOVE THE GUN GOOD JOB UMAREX

i would get rid of the fake glock like saftey in the trigger it starts to hurt the finger a little bit after shooting about five mags non stop

Magazine holds great amount of ammo, accurate, all around fun. Everyone who fires it has loved it.

Nothing

Love the action when empty reacts like a real gun. The feel and look are great!

-strong blowback -highly visible sights -very efficient with gas (around 100 useful shots with a moderate rate of fire) -metal slide -accurate for a bb pistol -outer barrel sleeve has an inner diameter of 9mm -great value

The fake trigger safety does not function and it only makes the heavy trigger pull less comfortable. Even though it is trying to replicate the Glock series of pistols, I would remove it and make the trigger blade a single piece.

The front sight is not fiber optic, but it is still easy to pick up. Also, the slide does not serve any function other than to blowback and add recoil. It does not chamber a bb or cock the gun. The trigger pull is heavy due to the design of the pistol as the barrel also acts as the hammer. The inner barrel moves forward inside the barrel sleeve as you pull the trigger. As it moves forward, a bb is fed into the barrel and it slams back against the valve to fire.

Wow, the blow back, feel, weight and over all construction is unbelievable. If you didn't get reminded while loading its a BB pistol, you would think it was the real deal. Accuracy was very good straight out of the box at 25 ft. Sites are bright and easy to line up. It has also been helpful in training the Mrs. with what to expect on recoil.

Trigger pull at times is a bit much and tends to veer shots to the right a bit.

This product is traditional to the Umarex quality and value for its price.

The feel of a glock, also the blowback action

the triger is like 8lbs, but is ok for the money.

Exellent gun for any collector or recreational plinker.

Looks very similar to a Glock pistol. For a blow-back pistol it hits really hard in the high 300ft per second range. Also you can get around 100 shots on a co2 cartridge. The metal slide is also really nice for a $50 gun.

Has a slightly heavy trigger pull which makes it hard to rapid fire. Also for a blow-back the slide spring feels a little weak.

Very good gun and quality if you want to buy a cheaper pistol.

I wanted a Glock look-alike, for me it was a decision between this one and the T4. This one won out and I'm glad it did. The 16 round magazines are a definite advantage. It has blowback, A nice feature. The slide locks back when you run out of pellets like a real pistol. It fires as fast as you can pull the trigger if you wish for fast action. The weight is nicely balanced, I even love how you load the CO2. the back flips open and it drops in, I have yet to waste a bit of air and I have medium sized hands.

The front sight is a white plastic rod. I would have it fiber optic to match the rear, for looks as well as use. You can still waste CO2 when you run out, It doesn't lock the trigger from firing off air.

This is a very fun air pistol to shoot. For me it is perfect, a Glock look-alike that aesthetically resembles a G22 very closely. Buy extra clips you will need them! Some Pellgun oil as well and bb's and you will be all set to go.

This looks like and feels weight wise like an actual Glock. That was one of the big sellers for me, I wanted something close to a glock 22 which is my favorite. The CO2 compartment is ingenious. the thumb screw is hidden under the clip. The compartment you load the CO2 into is in the back of the grip. Drop it in, snap it shut and tighten the thumb screw. It's blowback, there's definite kickback with it. Not comparable to the actual thing but enough. the clip holds about 20 bb's, though the package says 19. Definitely fun to shoot, this bb repeater is not going to dissappoint.

The safety on the trigger is looks only, it would be interesting if it was incorporated somehow into the actual design instead of being looks only. There is very little I would change, overall this repeater did not disappoint.

My decision was between this and the Crosman T4. I chose this one for several reasons, clip size was one of the deal breakers Among the fact that it seemed superior overall to the Crosman. Out of my recent purchase, this one was my favorite. It's going to get a lot of range time for sure. If you want a glock look-alike, for a decent price then this is the one for you.

The weight is very close to my Glock model 22. I bought this for an inexpensive training tool. The blowback action is a functional way to 'politely remind' you when you transition to support hand and forget to change your grip to the correct orientation. The trigger has a long draggy stroke to it, but here's the advantage I see in it: it FORCES you to maintain a proper sight picture throughout the entire trigger press and follow through correctly. The cost per shot averages 1 cent (gas & BB's). I don't know any agency that would not encourage their employees to shoot 500 rounds a week for $5.

Make it 1/16" thinner in the slide and ditch the safety that sticks out of the right side of the frame - that way it will fit in my Serpa holster for function drills.

If you carry a Glock, this is an absolute MUST for your training tool box. The cost ratio over live fire is 50:1 when practicing basic marksmanship. The shooter can mitigate recoil in live fire with proper grip and stance. The Umarex SA177 should be a requirement for anyone who carries a Glock in service.

i liked its metal slide an polymer frame it is very durable Ive had mine for about 6 months now and it hasn't jammed once just a few scratches noting to noticeable.

the slide has a very light recoil and my back fiber optic sight had broken the second week.

i generally get about 75-125 rounds with most of my other blow-back BB shooters but i got closer to 175-210 shoots with this one generally just a great gun for the cost.

I really liked the realism of this particular gun. The weight is realistic to a Glock, the over-all appearance is easily mistaken for a Glock 17, and the blowback is really smooth and realistic. It is a dead-ringer for the actual firearm! Shoots powerful and the accuracy is pretty decent for a CO2 bb gun at this price! I love my SA117

I would change three things: first off, the safety switch. It is really hard to use and sometimes only sticks in half way. And secondly, the front fiber-optic sight. It sticks out alittle too far; like it seems like the manufacture skipped out on trimming the fiber optic piece to size. And lastly, the attatchments rail at the bottom. I do not use any lasers or flashlights so for me atleast, the rail is pointless and in my opinion takes away from the look.

This is as great gun and definately worth the money. However, be sure to get an extra magazine and good quality BB's because sometimes; atleast with Copperhead BB's, when you load the magazine and release the spring, they just shoot right out of the magazine or stick out too far and prevent the mag to be loaded into the pistol.

Realistic appearance. Nice blow back action w/ metal slide.

Safety mechanism get stuck half way.

Not enough room to change CO2 if you have fat fingers. It's hard to turn the nut at base of handle. I lose about 1/8 of air just during CO2 replacement GRRRRRR!!!!!! After I've shot almost or maybe around 200 BBs, the slide keeps on getting stuck in rear position like magazine is empty, even after I put new CO2. Will air leaks like this damage the CO2 seal????

me gusta el peso y la potencia que tiene en el retroceso, dato agradable entre los amantes de las airgun

es una replica, habria que cambiar la original primero ;)

amigos, esta es un airgun de gran precision no dudes en comprarla, no te arrepentiras

its accurate and blowback

the front sight isnt fiber optic

when u put in the co2 you got to do it fast
