The realism

bigger capacity mag use less co2

This gun jammed all the time, my outer barrel came loose and the magazine broke with only 10 mags put through the gun. DO NOT BUY THIS GUN it is a waste of time so don't be fooled by the looks it doesn't perform at all.

Very well made and realistic. Full auto is a guaranteed smile generator. Fun, fun, fun!

Nothing.

The sights are marginal (just like the original). Shoots 2" high of POA at 25 feet even with rear ladder-type sight set all the way back and in lowest position. However, it may shot POA a little further out, I just haven't had the opportunity to shoot it at longer distances. Full auto is a dinner plate sized spray (but fun)...Did I say that it's fun! Loading the mag is a bit tedious. You can shoot 2-3 mags with one cartridge.

The looks! What can I say? Looks like the real thing! Great attention to the detail, even down to rifling at the fake barrel end! Of course the full auto function is a blast! As a lot have noted, it chews up CO2 cartridges fast, but I expected that and have over 100 to play with.

Not a whole lot, but I do have one minor complaint, and that is the sights. With the rear sight all the way down, and the outer shroud tightened all the way so it is not loose, it shoots a good 3" high! Would it have killed them to make the front sight higher? The only other complaint is the outer barrel shroud. As many have noted, it is loose. It appears they tried to address this on my pistol as they have drilled and threaded both the frame and the shroud where it enters the frame. That is a nice touch, but the screw keeps backing out! I think a little blue loc tite will fix that though! Another thing I would change, and others have mentioned this, is make a 30 round optional magazine available for this and come up with some kind of speed loader for it! Thirty five round magazine might even be better, because then you could change CO2 cartridge at the same time you reload the magazine!

Folks, this gun is just a blast! More fun than a barrel of monkeys! For the price, you just can't beat the fun factor! Accuracy is about average, meaning 2 - 3" groups at 25' on semi auto! On full auto you will get 2 18 round magazines per CO2 cartridge, and on semi-auto maybe 2.5 - 3 magazines. The only reason I down rated it on value for money is because to me the spare magazines are way too expensive. I would not mind paying $40 for a 35 round magazine, but that is too much for an 18 round magazine!One other warning! This thing is really dangerous! I was shooting into a commercial pellet target made of some type of high density foam, and twice at 25' I had bb's bounce back and hit me in the hand!You MUST wear good eye protection, and any one else in the area should be BEHIND you and wearing eye protection also!! Though the bb's did not break the skin, they hurt like the blazes and left a mark which is still red hours later! So enjoy this gun, but by all means, be careful!

The weight and feel of this Replica Pistol is unbelievable. And the Blow-Back Action coupled with the Full-Auto Mode makes this Pistol a must have item.

A Higher Capacity Magazine!!!!

My first Pistol arrived with a loose outer barrel. Rather than diddle with it, I contacted P/A and the sent me a replacement in less than weeks time...Way To Go P/A!!! Prior to purchasing this Pistol, I read all of the reviews and then found Paul Cappello's Airgun Reporter Video #23. I was hooked!!! Yes, the Pistol does go through CO2 quite fast in Full-Auto, but remember you also have the Blow-Back Action to make the shooting fun more realistic. Purchase a couple of extra magazines, plenty of CO2, and plenty of BB's. Shoot Safe!!!!

Love the full auto feature

Offer the wooden stock/holster.

Realistic weight and feel. Well worth the money.

Too much!!! An amazingly realistic & functional BB gun version of beautiful, classic pistol. My congrats and thanks to the people at Legends & Umarex for putting this on the market. The heft, quality, workmanship and functionality of the gun makes it a whole lot of fun to shoot & own. Have owned well made, center fire pistols in the past, so finding something like this realistic M712 that is inexpensive to shoot, requires minimal maintenance and something that's affordable to replace if it's lost or damaged is something I just couldn't turn down.

Yes, as others have mentioned here I would also prefer: that the action stayed open after the last shot (though not an easy thing to do), have a more secure lock up of the barrel sleeve, a wood grip option, a thinner front sight and a beefier lanyard ring.

Would be interested to know if anyone out there knows about a website for M712 users where info can be shared. And is there someone who makes real wood grips for these?

It jams very often Not the quality I thought I may return it.

I would not recommend it

Read the reviews for this particular piece before I ordered this. I'll I can say is "WOW". A very nice replica of the "broomhandle" with the correct weight and feel. If you want a real one, pay 10x this amount. Delivery was excellent, I ordered two weeks before Christmas without any issues. Fired this baby up the day after Christmas and it was everything I expected. Extremely accurate which totally surprised me. The full auto was just as accurate. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!!!!

Can't think of a thing, everything was perfect on this.

As with other "blowbacks" this one is a CO2 eater. Ran the first clip in semiauto to see the precision which was great. Ran the next clip in full auto. This thing is the most fun one could imagine in the auto position. To my chagrin, in full auto I emptied the CO2 bottle on the one clip. Quite frankly I was somewhat surprised that it ate it that quickly, but, this piece mimics the real pistol on the blowback. Excellent replica!

This is a blast. Worked perfect out of box dead on at 40ft. I have ran thru lots of BBs and CO2 fast. Full auto mode will empty clip real fast. ITs a lot of fun.

Loading is tuff. haven't tried the speed loader yet but you should get 1. loading 1 at a time is a pain.

Buy lost of CO2 and shot. You will need it. Its worth it. I was able to pull my shot pusher spring low enough on my clip to load it from the bottom like the P08 blow back clip. When pressure gets too low it will rapid fire and unload clip and CO2 even in single shot mode.

Who doesn't like FULL AUTO?!! The heft (very heavy) and feel are authentic. The look is authentic. The operation is authentic. This is a great authentic reproduction. The grip frame even has the slot for the shoulder stock commonly used on the original firearm.

The flimsy plastic cap for the CO2 cartridge in the clip. would an all metal one be that much more expensive? The set screw holding the barrel shroud in place was loose out of the box and allowed the shroud to droop. It had no effect on the barrel but is an obvious quality control issue. A high-capacity clip and a bulk CO2 or regulated HPA adapter would make this an super-awesome-fun-time gun.

EATS 12g CO2 cartridges like candy due to the blowback action. The heavy bolt produces a near-realistic recoil and barrel climb in full auto mode. In full auto mode, it sounds like an air stripper tool and I have never seen 18 BBs disappear so fast. You will need an extra clip to reduce the break in your fun time. The clip itself - without the CO2 cartridge installed - weighs 15 oz. The overall weapon is quite hefty. A definite hoot-to-shoot - buy a lot of 12g CO2 cartridges and BBs!

every thang its eastay to used very fun to shoot

larger mag

I like the metal construction. The weight of the gun feels like a firearm. Also like the auto fire feature, which is a lot of fun.

Sights could be improved, especially the front sight for visibility.

Accuracy is ok. On auto it is of course less accurate.

I was really surprised at the build quality and feel of this sweet little pistol. I could never afford the real thing but now I can still have one.

Real wood grips would be nice but they look good anyway.

Buy lots of co2!

I was impressed to hold a full metal pistol like this ! Very solid in every way. P/A did a great job. A lot of fun to shoot in both S/A & full auto. I like the way the selector switch works, just press the button on the switch, and slide into place , locks right in. The hammer hits solid and square. P/A did a excellent job with the broom stick handle , looks like real wood. Magazine snaps in nicely.The blow back action is really fun on this pistol. My self I like when a Com. doesn't skimp out on a product. P/A did a nice job.Two Magazines per CO2, but worth the fun.

Perhaps a larger magazine to hold more BB's. Aside from that, nothing !

As a fairly new collector of replica BB pistols, this is a great addition !

Feels just like the real pistol. Love the blowback feature.

Offer the replica stock/holster since it has the handle groove already.

It is heavy, but it is all metal like the real thing.

lots of fun, looks cool. good reproduction. full auto is a blast.

barrel has only 1 tiny set screw attaching it to gun. uses a lot of co2. lots of fun

lots of fun

Full metal heft, blow back, full auto option. Esoteric bit of firearm history.

The price of additional magazines. Not that it's incredibly accurate on full auto but rear sight could be wider.

Laughed out loud the first time I shot full auto. This little gun is a blast. Make sure you stock up on CO2 and BBs. For me, three mags per CO2 is par for the course. Fun plinker, conversation piece. Not for serious target shooting or varmint control. (unless you want to hose squirrels down) Own one for for the sheer fun of it.

Heft and feel. Looks and feels like the real thing. Like the full auto selector switch.

Change the magazine to make it easier to load.

It's a hoot to shoot.

This is more fun than I have had in a long time!

BIGGER MAGAZINES! Come out with an inexpesive ($40.00 - $70.00) stock to add to the FUN. PyramydAir staff - pass it on!

Short bursts make the fun go longer, just like a real 20 round Broomhandle. Real Broomghandle stocks will fit the grip slot. BBs' have never been this much fun. Buy the P08 too. and three more Broomhandles for Christmas friends.

FUN to shoot! The metal "Heft", the weight & feel. Darn right FUN to use.

Bigger magazine & more shots per CO2.

18 round magazine is too small, need for more BBs, its just that Fun. 2-3 magazines of BBs then a new CO2 is needed. Its that much Fun. Order lots of BBs & CO2. Did I say its FUN to shoot?
