Gletcher NGT CO2 Reviews

The look,the feel,all metal

Wood grips instead of plastic

Great for plinking

I always love a quality shooter and this one ranks right up near the top. I did not need to weigh or measure the trigger on this Nagant; just the feel of it is enough to tell you that this is the real deal. The Nickel finish is what attracted my eye and it is as beautifu as the photos show it to be. I promised myself that I would not buy another CO2 pistol this month but PA knows my weakness; Chrome, Silver or Nickel capture me every time. When I took it to my basement range I found it to be one of my most accurate. At 10 feet I put 7 in the center of my 2 inch target circle every time using standard sight position aimed at center. At 18 feet, 6 or 7 of 7 made it into the 2" target. This pistol is ACCURATE. Accurate shooting requires ignoring the DA and shooting only in SA mode. This is not only a great shooter; it feels good in the hand. I like virtually everything about this Nagant.

If I had to change anything it would be the snug fit of the CO2 cylinders. I generally keep only Crossman and Umarex CO2 on hand. Fortunately, the Umarex cylinder fits perfectly, although not with much room to spare. Crossman cylinders will jam against the chamber sides and will not fit. Beyond that, I would change nothing. Gletcher got the replica as close to perfect as you can get.

I've read some reports saying that CO2 cylinders leak when installed in the pistol. I did not experience any leaks whatsoever. I was able to do 9 full 7 shot reloads (63 shots) before I noticed measurable fall-off in Pressure using Crossman 7.4 gr Wadcutters. Any leaks reported probably were due to leaving CO2 cylinders in the pistol for extended periods of time. Cylinders should always be removed after a shooting session and not stored in the pistol. Bad for seals. My performance measurements: Using Crossman 7.4 gr Wadcutters; Max Velocity=354 fps, Min V=333 fps, Average Velocity=342.57 fps, SD=6.5 fps, fpe=2.06. Using H&N Trophy Greens 5.71 non-lead pellets: Max Velocity=393 fps, Min V=369 fps, Average Velocity=378.38 fps, SD=8.5 fps, fpe=1.96. Both pellets that I used fit snugly into the brass cartridges with none falling out of the pistol.

Every thing

Nothing

This is very well made sweet ! I have not fired it until spring to cold to get any report.

The nickel makes it a great looker. I have a smaller hand so it fits perfect. This is my second Gletcher NGT R. Loved it so much I bought 2. Dosn't seem to have as much power as the first one but it possibly needs to break in where the first one I bought had superior power from the first time. Pretty accurate shooter. Better than most.

Nothing.

7 grain RWS hollow points work real well with this gun. Lead of course.

Love the feel and weight. Very authentic and realistic. East to load and shoot.

Nothing

Rifled barrel, looks, accuracy.

The single action has broken on my gun after only a couple hundred rounds. I have received no support from Gletcher, my emails have been ignored and they have no pushed me past my warranty.

Awesome little pistol. Very accurate replica. I own both the pellet and bb versions and love them both.

Lightweight, good sights easy to see blade and notch, fantastically accurate at 7m, 21 feet. The single action trigger is crisp and this is where the accuracy is in this pistol, really good single action trigger pull, easy to stay on target. Double action is typically heavy, not as smooth as the Webley Mark VI but better than the Dan Wesson 715. No slop in the plastic grips and the finish is really beautiful

Not much, only thing I could suggest is a higher quality grip but then the price and weight would go up.

This re-issue has a manual safety on the right side not pictured here. It is a black switch that exposes a red dot when off safe. When the safety is engaged it locks the trigger in place. Not part of the original design so if you are looking for exact detail in this replica you will need to find an earlier model as pictured.

Replica design

Wood grips

Replicas are addicting. Once you start collecting them it's over. Each new release is a huge draw, pulling you in deeper. LOL

Compact , realistic , and very accurate revolver. Should pave the way for more pellet revolvers. Great care to detail.

Include extrashells with revolver. A bright blue and worn battlefield finish options would be nice

If you like historical firearms replica airguns , this is a must have

Quite well made, apart from the flimsy plastic grips. However the revolver is not very accurate, more like a BB-gun. Shooting from bench at distance of 5-6 yds gives 2-3 inch spreads, not very good. The barrel is a loose sleeve inside the actual barrel, and can be rotated. The point of impact varies according to how the inner barrel is rotated. I used the gun occasionally in the first weeks, firing a couple hundred pellets. When I picked it up some weeks later again the gas cartridge was empty, leaked out. I had difficulty installing a new one, as it leaked upon installation. Wasted a couple of cartridges. After some days it was empty again, leaked out. The problem gradually worsened, and nine months later the gun was unusable. I had fired around 300 pellets from it, and used up some 30 CO2 cartridges. I contacted Pyramyd, but was told they could not replace it or supply parts; I had to contact the distributor myself. I did so, but never received a reply from them.

Grips are too flimsy, and hard to clamp on. CO2 cartridge seal is made of unsuitable material, and leaks. Barrel system is not good for accuracy.

All in all a relatively well made metal gun, looking and feeling like the real Nagant, however with som basic flaws that makes it unusable. Not happy with purchase, nor with support from Pyramyd or distributor.

This is the second NGT Pellet gun I have owned. The first one I sent back many months ago because it was so inaccurate. I also own the BB version which has exceptional accuracy for a smooth barrel revolver. Recently I decided to take a chance and try another pellet version and I am glad I did. What an awesome gun. The gun has a quality finish and both single and double action are very smooth.

The fixed sights should line up better for the point of impact. That's a production issue.

It took some work to find the right pellet (RWS Super-H-Point 6.9 gr) but this is it. I went so far as to clamp-on Picatinny rail on the barrel. The made it possible for me to mount a scope, a red-dot laser and a bi-pod. Maybe a bit extreme but it paid off. I shoot .75 CTC groups from 16 yards. The gun is really only designed for 10 yards. I do get an occasional flyer but usually 6 out of 7 shots are spot on. This gun is more accurate than my $300 Smith & Wesson 686 .177 and only half the price. I also am averaging 400 fps and getting approximately 70 shots per Co2.

It's pretty hard not to give this pellet shooter anything less than 5 stars across the board. The feel and quality is outstanding. 7 shooter not 6 has a cool factor. the small hand grip feels good to me and I have bigger than average hands. the trigger is so smooth it feels fake kinda weird .

Seems the rifling is a tad loose and barely scores the pellets I pushed through. I think maybe this could be the reason for it to be so pellet picky. I started at 7gr and worked my way all the way up to10.? Crosman Premiers before I was happy with the groups. I have nearly every pellet made. ended up with 2" groups at 24'. that's all the indoor space I have.

Pellet picky and mine came with a filthy barrel. Cleaned and cleaned. This worked out good. I dare you to find me a higher quality gun at this price.

I just want to display this revolver! It is a great looking piece and has a wonderful history. The fit and finish is excellent. Size and weight are perfect. As far as accuracy goes it is very good for a short revolver, but i didn't buy it for target shooting. It looks great, feels fantastic and is fun to shoot. What mor could you want!

Nothing for this price.

CO2 canister (Crosman has trouble tightening so you loose a little gas changing it out. I'll try a different brand in the future.

This is my third NGT.I have one in silver and one in blue. both are well made and close copy's of the firearm of which I have three. This pellet version works perfect but try and use Umarex or Gletcher Co2's They will work better. It is a beautiful gun especially the silver edition. I like everything about it.

Offer Wood Grips,

Try and use Umarex or Gletcher co2 they seem to not stick in gun.

Accuracy, feel, realism.

Had to send to smg because it is leaking co2. The co2 that fits the pistol handle is Gletcher's own brand and is very expensive. I was told that the co2 cannot be left in gun over night. I have a Gamo PT 85 that I donot remove the co2 until it is depleted which maybe as long as a month or more.

SMG's quality of build and finish! Good weight, balance and feel in the hand. It's hard to tell it's only a "pellet' gun! Accuracy is excellent when you learn how to hold and sight properly with the fixed sights. Operation of the gun is precise and smooth. field stripping is accomplished easily and gives you access to lubrication, maintenance and cleaning. You can also shoot .177 lead round balls which are very accurate and have good penetration due to the finely made rifled barrel. The "chromed nickel" surface finish is almost 100% fine. Grips are hard to tell they are plastic as they are stiffer and more solid than typically found in this class of gun.

The cylinder loading gate is plastic, hard to differentiate from metal, but well made nonetheless. For the price of this gun, it should be all metal as is everything else on it (except the grips). What would that have added to the price? Why do manufacturers skimp on these design elements?!

Overall, this is a really well made, better than average pistol which in my opinion is almost as perfect as you could ask for in a vintage style replica from another historic era in firearms. While it's not for target competition, it is formidable as a shooter in it's own right. If you like to collect this type of gun, you will take pleasure in holding and working it and admiring the age it represents.

Quality Nickel Silver finish; materials; workmanship; weight; balance; overall design; beautiful wood-like grips; overall looks; precision functions; field strippable; accuracy! Gun is typical Gletcher quality I've come to admire and appreciate. Loading mechanism is precise and all functions operate smoothly. Gun is easy to break down for cleaning and maintenance. Shoots to P.O.I without hardly any sighting adjustment. Pellets penetrate six to seven layers of heavy cardboard.

Loading gate lever should be all metal like everything else on the gun. What a thing to skimp on?! I mean...what did that save in production costs? Should come with extra shells.

If you like owning these type of 'vintage' style guns made true to their original counterparts, then get one of these while still available. Keep it clean and well maintained and don't shoot it to death, but enjoy it nonetheless! Some day it will be a really nice collectable piece to pass on or sell like a lot of the older Crosman, Benjamin, Daisy, Walther and Diana type pistols now being sold for ten plus times their original cost. I buy all my guns from PA with their discount coupons and never have a problem with anything they send me. I do wish they would include shipping as well instead of choosing the lower cost for the difference. Otherwise, a great place to do business with! Shipping is the fastest of all online retailers and everything is packaged well.

Quality, fit and finish. I am writing this because some of the other Gletcher reviews were 3 stars. This is very impressive for the price. It is as accurate as to be expected. Film canister at 25 feet etc. with the occasional flyer that all these type guns have. The single action trigger is very light. I prefer to shoot this over the $250 S&W that I have.

I have had some fussiness with using crossman co2 bulbs. I have there own bulbs on order.

I have been collecting, shooting airguns for 40 years and these new replica airguns are just incredible for the money. They have got me excited all over again. Having found, fixed and resealed every crossman ever made I have come to expect C02 and leaks. It is part of the hobby. That being said, these new guns have much better seals and materials. Sort of like tires in the 60'S compared to today's tires. If you play with co2 guns you are going to get a leaker. Try not to discard a great hobby because some leak.
