Beretta M9A3 .177 CO2 Air Pistol 18-shot Drop-free Magazine

Good quality build. Durable for thousands of rounds with proper maintenance.

Nothing

Do not overload the mag for what it is rated for. You can squeeze a extra 1-2 rounds in but will result in a mag jam from the follower almost every time. Stick to what they are rated for, use a drop of oil on each CO2 for the mag seal and they will last for thousands of rounds. They are a little pricey, so take care of them like you would them pistol and they will last. I bought two mags with each pistol and both spare mags are still in the plastic and have never been needed. It's good to have them as backup though just in the event I finally reach the limit of the original, but after 2000 rounds we haven't reached that point yet. Still a good idea though to buy a spare when purchasing the pistol.

The First thing that I have to say about this Magazine is that has been VERY Well Engineered , and Well Constructed ! It Is Solidly Built with No Lower Pins to hold the Bottom Part of The Mag Together. Up Top , there are 2 pins that hold in the Gasket . and 1 for the BB feeder. The Spring Housing for the BB's works well , but I Personally always Give my Mags a Quick Spray with a little Silicone Spray to keep thing moving Smoothly. No real Problems so far with the Valve or the CO2 Plug , but Overall a Very Good Magazine For a Very Good Pistol !

Like With Most Upper End UMAREX .177 Magazine Products ,,, People have a tendency to break Their Fingernails off Trying to Load Steel BB's into Them . Well Folks , This Guy Is a Member of That Club ! It is a Pain in The A$$ to have to Carry a Pen or Nail Clipper around With You to Accomplish Loading this Magazine all the Time ,,, BUT ,, It Does Have a little Ledge You can rest the Follower on once it is All the Way Back , Yayyy !!! As Far as Stripping the CO2 Screw Goes ,,,, Just Be Careful , take Your Time , and put a drop of Silicone oil on the Threads . Most of All DO NOT MAKE IT TOO TIGHT !!!

Like I Say with All My Reviews , If YOU Take Care Of YOUR ORDINANCE ,,, YOUR ORDINANCE WILL Take Care Of YOU !!! If That Means Don't let Cousin Bob shoot it out in the Backyard ,, So be It , Because You Don't Wanna Hear " Ohh I Just Dropped It and This Part BROKE OFF ! " DO YOU ? We All Are Air Gunners ! Some of us Have a COLLECTION , and We Take Pride in What We Do , and Love

The added weight to the magazine, adds to the overall weight and feel of the pistol itself.

Warn potential customers that the CO2 cartridge is contained within the magazine. Purchasing an extra magazine (as you would with an actual firearm) just adds to the cost of use of this pistol, because you need to have a CO2 cartridge in each magazine to have the effectiveness of a quick reload ... the reason you would even purchase a second magazine. As the second magazine is quite expensive ... If I had known that a second CO2 cartridge would have to be used, due to the location of the CO2 cartridge being located inside the magazine ... I would NOT have purchased a second magazine. Also they are quite slow to refill, and holding only 20 BB's for a pistol with the capability to auto fire ... isn't practical, meaning as fun as auto fire is, I use it rarely ... and haven't even used the second magazine due to the issues with it's use.

Adhere to the warning I put on the review of the pistol.

Always good to have a spare.

Spring came completely disheveled and crooked in mine. Cannot retain a single BB; I tried several brands.

It works great, the magazine that came with the gun was defective.

It's a great product at a great price! Over all 8 out of ten, it's a great value for the money.
