Beretta M84FS CO2 BB Pistol

It does have the look and feel of a real one. Sights are OK. Magazine release is a little stiff but I expect this will all get run in with use. Slide locks open on last round. Accuracy?! It's a BB gun. I could probably hit a 2 liter bottle at 20 ft consistantly (and get better with practice.)

A DA/SA trigger would be nice.

A little loud, louder than my CO2 revolvers, probably a result of the blowback action. The trigger pull, though light starts from what would be the DA position so its quite a ways to get it to snug up before taking a shot. As it works in, I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Excellent quality gun that looks like the real Beretta! Mostly all metal with the exception of the grips. Very compact gun but extremely well balanced and a joy to hold and shoot. Blowback is super crisp and the first few shots are very punchy. Trigger is nice and not very heavy - just right in my opinion. Magazine is full size and and BB's are fairly easy to load into it. Magazine release and trigger safety are excellent and easy to deploy. No white warning markings is a bonus! Accuracy is fairly good once you get used to the recoil. Comes packaged in a nice little box!

The C02 piercing mechanism is visible at the bottom of the handgrip which is ashame since the maker went to great lenghts to mimic the real firearm. I much prefer the screw in type piercing mechanism via allen key tool. Real wood grips would be awesome! Add white markings to the sites.

Great pistol to have in your collection!

Great addition to my Beretta collection. Looks great. Feels great in the hand. Weight and balance are perfect. Blowback is heavy, but realistic. Very solid. All metal except for grips. Accuracy is very good for a short barrel. Consistently puts 5 shots into a 2 inch ring from 10 feet and about 3 shots out of 5 in the 2" ring from 20 feet. Made spec for all practical purposes: Using Hornady Black Diamond BBs (5.36 grain) in a 5 shot string, Max Velocity was 358 fps vs 360 advertised. Lo velocity was 343 fps, Mean was 351.6 fps, SD was 4.02 and Variance was only 16.24. Shooting another string would probably have met spec but I would call 358 max fps close enough. Umerex Steel BBs (5.29 grain) did not do so well with Max velocity at 323 fps. For a short barrel, accuracy is much better than my Makarov and Walther PPK/S.

Trigger, trigger and trigger. Very rough '1st catch'. You have to fiddle with the pull to get the first catch to release. Once it releases, the 'second catch' is much better but still not great. If you are taking continuous shots, you can keep shooting once you get past the 'first catch' if you don't release the trigger to go past the 'first catch'. You will get the feel for it but I'm hoping that first catch will smooth itself out eventually with use or break in. Also, both front and rear sights are black and the front sight is thin, so sighting visibility is not great. I put a white dot on the front sight to make visibility better. I am not crazy about the plastic butterfly on the bottom of the magazine as a way of piercing the CO2 cartridge, I prefer an allen key to do the job.

This gun is a great addition to my collection of Berettas which includes the M92A1, M92FS and the M9A3. If you love Berettas, as I do, you will love this little Beretta and it should be in your collection in spite of any shortcomings. I was able to get about 30 to 40 shots from a CO2 cylinder due to the great blowback. I am very willing to sacrifice some CO2 for the realism of the blowback. I was surprised that the Black Diamond BBs weighing a tad more than the Umarex Steel BBs performed better in the velocity department. I saw no real difference in accuracy using the Black Diamonds but they may have been a tad better in accuracy as well. However, I don't buy BB pistols for competition shooting. They are for plinking so have fun and don't dwell on hair-splitting a few feet per second. This is a great gun to enjoy just for the look and feel and it is just fun to shoot. I'm glad I bought it. I think you will enjoy it too.
