Weight, grips, $$$,

The safety is very awkward.

Good feal and good construction. Accuracy would be better if it wasn't for heavy trigger pull, still not bad though. ....

It's nice and heavy in you'r hand, and it's great fun. it seems to be accurate out too about 30 ft (9.5 m) or so.

I'm a guy with kinda big hands ( at least 5 inches across) and I feel that the grip is kinda fat. Iv'e grabbed on to 9mm double stack pistols that were skinnier than this. also the sights are a bit crude, but they seem to work fine.

Put a small amount of white paint on the front sight it helps you get a better sight picture.

I love the rubber grips and the way you slide them back to install co2. For a double action trigger, it is smooth and predictable. Full metal, rubber grips and 400fps! What's not to love about this Beretta m84 replica :)

Pellgun oil on every co2 powerlet will give you years of shooting a healthy pistol!

Heavy weight, reliable feeding, no leaks.

Change safety, make it quieter

This gun is made almost totally out of cast metal , so it's heavy and solid feeling. The gun has fed a couple hundred BBs so far with absolute reliability, and I haven't been able to detect any CO2 leaks. The only issues I have are small ones. The trigger pull is fairly heavy. It's basically a "double action" only type trigger, as it pushes the barrel forward and then releases it rearward to open the valve with each pull. This makes shooting rather fatiguing, and it may make the gun difficult to use for children. The safety is activated by pushing forward on a small button on the lever and then pushing the lever up or down. This is awkward, and the safety doesn't feel very positive. Would prefer a sliding safety with a strong detent. Lastly, the gun is loud, making it unsuitable for urban backyard shooters with nosy neighbors. I wouldn't mind losing 100 fps if it made the gun quieter. This gun is a plinker, not a hunter, so the loss wouldn't matter. Quality gun overall, though.

I like the colour, and the rubber grips and especially the full metal construction. This BB pistol operates just like the Umarex Smith & Wesson m&p 40 BB gun, I shot them both back to back and noticed identical trigger pull and barrel/hammer action, andthe only difference was on the outside, were Crosman pfm16 is a much higher quality co2 handgun.

I would make this pistol more powerful than 400 fps. 450 fps - 495 fps should be the standard for all Co2 action pistols!
