Daisy Powerline 008 Reviews

Great pistol, Nice and light weight. Very easy to load co2 and magazines. Sights in very easy and pretty accurate too. Held a 2 inch grouping at 25 feet. Got over 120 shots from one co2 before tapering off.

Put more magazines in the kit. 2 aren't enough! Make the safety glasses large enough to fit over regular prescription glasses.

Great little shooter for target practice or just plinking soda cans in the back yard.

Product was as described, easy to operate, with a light trigger pull. CO2 insertion is the easiest of any pistol on the market. Pistol looks like a real handgun although it is not a replica of any real handgun.

nothing

Buy the Pellgunoil with this product.

Really like the amount of metal used in its fabrication, gives it a really solid feel! Also has a really nice finish on it! You can definitely feel the quality in this Air-Pistol! I like the sleekness/design/looks of this Air-Pistol and the Co2 loading Lever/Mechanism makes loading a new cartridge a breeze and is fun to operate! Going through the motions of opening the breech to re-load a new Clip is pretty cool as well! The fact that the Hammer actually moves when firing is just awesome! The Trigger action is smooth! I could not be happier with my decision to go with the 008...and the Kit! Well worth the $69.00 investment! Want a great Co2 Repeater, buy the Daisy Model 008...YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

Would be cool if the Clips were black. Add some white or red dots on the sights...or even some fiber-optic sights would be cool.

For the money, you cannot go wrong with the 008! It feels like a real Gun/Pistol/Fire-Arm! Get the kit, it's worth it! Accuracy is great when using the "right" Pellet! I recommend something around 6.9-grain to 7.4-grain, in a Wad-Cutter, Round-Nose or Pointed. Always remember that there are some pellets that might be to long for the Clip, as is with all other Clips! Hope this review helps! Happy/Safe Shooting!:)

This one is a peach.

Nothing...Thumbs up to Daisy...

Fits my hand just right. Shoots both BBs and pellets from the same clip. Powerful for a low to mid priced pistol

White or higher visibility sights. Ambidextrous safety, I'm right handed and safety is only on right side.

I really liked how easy it is to load both the ammo and the co2.

I would add some pell oil. Give the option of safety glasses that fit over normal glasses.

The 008 has a good, hefty feel - but not too heavy for my girlfriend. It is EZ to load and fun to shoot. Sweetie thinks she would like to shoot a firearms pistol at the range so I've started her out on this. It's a great practice handgun for me. too!

Sight dots would be an improvement. Two more clips would be nice.

I have had pump-up BB/pellet rifles my whole life, as well as firearm rifles and pistols. This is my first airgun pistol and definitely my first Co2 powered anything! The 008 is surprisingly powerful. I am impressed.

I've owned several CO2 pistol repeaters and this is hands down the best one. Super accurate out of the box, cool CO2 mechanism and you can feel the sturdy build the first time you pick it up.

Nothing. At current price you get more than you pay for.

Careful with your pellet selection as some of your longer pellets will protrude from the ends of the revolver style clips and prevent the gun from functioning correctly. This gun, with it's rifled barrel, shoots pellets wonderfully so I have never shot a single BB from it and recommend you don't either. Their are plenty of cheap pellets that won't ruin your barrel like steel BBs.

everything about it...it shoots great, although i ordered 3 pack of clips and never received them from pyrimid air...........oh well!!

nothing but grip clip

you will get your moneys worth..that and some!!

gun is perfect but ordered 3 more clips and never received from pyrimid air

nothing

you;ll get your moneys worth..very accurate little gun and powerful !!

I haven't fired the 008 yet but I can tell you that this is a fine package. This is a well-made firearm with a great accessory package.

magazines, power and comfort. FUN to shoot.

better if the sights were located on the break barrel part of it, wish it had more steel on it, also would be better to have a laser mount for it.

gets 40-50 shots per co2, and get more mags, bbs or pellets and co2 because this stuff disappears like crazy.

The way it feels. Its design is all very slick. Shoots great

As I'm not a designer or misdeeds Nuffin

To me this is an awsome lil pistol. Go ahead n get ya sum more mags.

This is a great shooting pistol, it has a full sized grip that fits an adult's hands perfectly, yet is narrow enough in the right spots to allow my 10 year old daughter to fire it adequately. I was skeptical regarding accuracy, and with BBs I was right to doubt since I'm lucky to get all 8 BBs to hit a 8.5X11" sheet of paper at 30 feet, but when using the Beeman 7.7 grain wadcutters I get wonderful groups consistently. Very durable gun, it is almost all metal that is coated in plastic. It can be completely disassembled with a small Phillips head screwdriver and a couple punches to knock out pins. This also does well on CO2 conservation, I am getting between 60 and 70 rounds on one powerlet before the pistol begins to seriously loose power. I recommend using a lubricant at least every couple powerlets, I got 40 to 50 rounds the first 2 powerlets, but the third I put some grease on the tip before putting it in and the volume per powerlet increased to the 60 to 70 I get now.

For the price, nothing! It could have better quality pellets with it, and maybe come with a target or two... ...but if I were going to make one that cost more, I would make the pistol with all metal parts.

The accuracy of this pistol with the Beeman pellets is excellent, I am consistently getting 4" or smaller groups of 8 shots at 30 feet. I get similar groups at the same distance with my Colt Government model .45 ACP pistol, so a steadier hand could probably do even better. This is a double action only pistol. This pistol fits nicely into the "Blackhawk" brand, size 7 pistol hip holster, it is sold as being for medium to large frame automatic pistols.

For the money this is a great little plinker. At 15-20 feet it has no problem hitting a 1.5 inch target and beyond that range it is a good can killer. Velocity is adequate especially with light pellets. Trigger is long but smooth and overall quality is very nice for this price range. Magnetic mags a plus and very cheap from Daisy. Just remember, its a $59 gun and worth every penny. Its fun rating is 5 stars. So far, I have fired 1200 rounds without a single misfire. The only other pistol I own that I can say about that is a $600 Twinmaster. Get one for fun or close combat training. You can't take out a crow but the muzzle blast will scare them away.

As commented before, sights are very rudimentary. A little paint here and there helps but still the adverse effect on accuracy is evident from the start. Noise level is high but that should be expected. There is more accuracy in this gun but the sights just hold it back. Hence the four star rating. The trigger could use less travel but for the money who cares?

I use 7.0 Hobby pellets with good results. BBs are alright for plinking but there are many flyers. I have not tried lead balls yet but intend to just to see what happens. You can purchase spare mags from Daisy by calling customer service. Number on their website.

This is a nice little gun! Its profile is smaller than what the picture leads you to believe, and its also smaller than what the specs say, its 7" exactly, not 7.1". It feels good, most of the weight is in the handle. I tested it for power, not accuracy yet. Its powerful, pellets blow right through 1/4" softwood. I love the powerlet clamp that pierces the powerlet, just pop the powerlet in and push the clamp in place, quickly pierced with no screw turning. The kit comes complete with everything shown.

I plan on using the gun for non-lethal self-defense, so you can store an unpierced powerlet in the gun, but you have to leave the clamp open, which looks awkward and is awkward if you plan to carry the gun on you. Not a good choice for a concealed weapon.

I tried to use a Crosman powerlet in the gun and had a problem closing the clamp, I lost much of the co2 in the powerlet before I got the clamp closed, so I measured crosman and daisy powerlets, and crosman powerlets are just a hair's length longer, which seems to be problem for this gun. No problem with daisy powerlets. I really like this gun and recommend it for its power.

This gun is quite accurate considering fixed sites. It is really fun to shoot, feels good in the hand, and is a nice weight (due to a lot of metal).

Make the rear site adjustable. Also, it would be nice if the locking clip was entirely metal. I will never just snap the barrel closed for fear of breaking the plastic piece of the clip that keeps it closed. Finally, IMO every pistol should be both single and double action.

This gun is very accurate with pellets. BB's tend to wander a bit of course. It's actually a little louder than one would expect, which I tend to like. ;)

the feel of the gun in my hand, the power, and very accurate, at least up to 20 feet. maybe better than that, but I've yet to try. I bought the kit, only because I couldn't find an option to get more clips. I'd still like to find more clips for this gun, if only so I don't have to stop to reload so often. It ws louder than I thought it would be, but I like that!

put a rail or another way to add an aftermarket sight. Make it easier to aquire the target.

yeah, it's a solid gun, and lotsa' fun to shoot!
