The blowback function likely detracts from its overall reliability.
Pros
Very close to the real McCoy in look and feel.
Cons
The rotary magazine has issues - pellets don't always fit well. Some pellet brands and types being too tight or loose resulting in jams and misfires. Have had two major jams where the magazine would not eject due to partially deployed or loose pellets and had to disassemble the gun to clear the jam.
Fun pistol to practice and shoot, and great addition to the collection. Looks and feels close to the real thing. Shoots just fine, a little down and to the left, but good grouping. I put a laser sight on and it made it much more accurate and more fun. I added 4 mags (now have 5), which I highly recommend if you want to save time on reloading. 1 CO2 will do fine through 4 mags, 5th will be a challenge, depending on the temperature, I think I had about 9 pellets left after gas was out, which is still very good. What I'd wish for is slide lock (sigh....hello pellet pistols), open ejection port and filed stip. Other than that - no complaints. Happy with the purchase.
Pros
Weight, looks, blowback action, fast and easy CO2 load.
Cons
fake (covered) ejection port, non field strippable, no slide lock. Well, it is a pellet pistol after all.
Awesome gun. I order 3 of then so me and my son's could plink togther
Pros
Looks and feel like a real sig. The blow back makes it feel more realistic.
Cons
Kind of hard to plink a target or get the sight right on the mark while aiming. Idk it might be the pellets that's throwing the shot off or I can not aim for nothing lol. Also sometimes the pellets do not leave the mag so possibly due once again to the pellets. Will try another pellet type to see if their is a difference
Pros
looks and feels like the real thing
Cons
shot low, and had to file the front sight practically off in order to get accurate shots @ 24 ft.
It's beautiful craftsmanship,, I like the gun.. I'll keep looking for the pellet LOL
Pros
I love the real look and action when it works
Cons
I've put five different kinds of pellets through it so far and haven't really found any yet it likes,, so good luck with that,
Pros
Weight and look are nearly identical to the actual gun.
Cons
Magazine jammed and stuck inside the first gun. Had to get it replaced. Have had no issues since.
Eats through co2 relatively quickly but shoots well when the gas is fresh. I wish the mags were metal and I also wish the slide release worked and you could break down the pistol.
Pros
Good weight, accurate, and fun to shott
Cons
plastic magazines, dummy break down pin and slide release
Pros
Pros:
-full metal
-blow back is the shiTH!
-accurate
- perfect Crow extermination tool
-steel daisy’ bbs is what I use to remove thrashers, nightingales, jays, crow!
- carry it and shoot 300 bbs a daily.
No problems since 9/2020
Cons
plastic magazine is asian design error. I beat the “F” out of the gun drop it pimpslapped a fool with the barrel .. wiggles more .
Available in .177 means the gun available is .177.
Pros
This is an excellent gun. Like any tool, you have to follow instructions for optimal performance. I seriously don't understand why the negative reviews, probably user error. I have tight groupings at 20'. I went through several magazines without losing power. The pellets pushed into my wood backstop. I do not leave CO2 sitting in the gun for long. Instead I load a new cartridge and empty it training everytime. A small amount of recommended lube has kept it from jamming ever. Bottom line don't blame the equipment, and you will improve your experience.
Cons
Nothing. This gun exceeded my expectations, because I am able to tell the difference between my air gun and my service weapon.

Douglas from USAIs there red dit that will mount to p226?
asked Matthew from USAWhich pellets work best in this gun?
asked Keith from USAWad cutters. Other types do not work satisfactorily - will jam or misfire.
Douglas from USA.22 caliber pellets gun make it into a 22
asked Cliff from USAJust bought this and it will not fire with the .177 pellets I have. Does this take a certain type of pellet? Thanks
asked Chris from USAOnly works correctly with wadcutters. Also, ensure the pellet is seated (centered in the rotary mag)
Douglas from USAWhere can I purchase extra magazines?
asked Owen from USAAMPC-177-16 $12.99
Mark from USAAnyone know if there is a barrel extender that can be screwed onto the barrel threads? I would like to run some experiments on the optimum barrel length based on the variables of barrel length, pellet mass, pellet shape, and ambient temperature. Thanks.
asked Francisco fromA extended barrel would have to be custom made.
Mark from USAIs there a REAL suppressor (moderator), that will fit the barrel threads, and what are the barrel thread dimensions? I came across a comment that it's 12mm diameter and 1mm thread pitch (12mmx1.0mm), if some owner can attest. Thank you
asked Francisco fromThere may be a real moderator. Pyramyd Air does not carry one.
Mark from USAIs there a fake suppressor that will fit this gun?
asked Dennis from USAYes, The muzzle is threaded .At Pyramyd Air PY-A-7775 $29.99.
Mark from USAThe srecs show 510 fps in the ad but the box on my unit says 480fps. Customer service didn't know much on technical issues. Can someone explain this to me and should I consider a different pistol.
asked Linda L CRan a chronograph on it and it's closer to 300 fps give or take 30
Douglas from USAHi : If I have fired off 16 rounds and want to store the gun . Do leave the CO2 cartridge in the gun for use next time? will it hold its charge and be available for use in a few days ? Or should I use up the cartridge before storage? Thanks.
asked ronIve been told that it's better on the seals inside the gun not to store a co2 for very long that still has co2 pressure in it.
Howard from USACan ship to malaysia ?
asked AmyIs it possible to buy another magazine for this pellet gun to fit in pointed pellets? If so can somebody paste a link? Thanks.
asked jonasNo there is only one type of magazine and pointed pellets are too long, causing misfires or jams.
Douglas from USAYes what size is his pistol
asked Donald R AgostonCan u pull apart and send in pieces so it can get into Australia?
asked ButsyMy p226 co2 177 pistol keeps misfiring and when I try to remove the magazine it will not fully come out as if it is jammed.
asked PeterHad the same problem - the pellet is getting stuck partway between the mag and the breach. Sometimes you might be successful fixing it by pulling the mag out (hopefully with out damaging it), or removing the slide and pushing the mag out from the top, or (more likely) using a 1/8" rod, push the pellet back into the mag. What seems to help resolve this VERY annoying problem is (1) only use wadcutters, (2) seat the pellet so that it is not flush with the rotary mag opening (centered). I found doing that results in significantly lower jam occurances.
Douglas from USACan you shoot bb's or only pellets
asked Alex from USAOnly .177 pellets.
Douglas from USACan it kill a animal
asked Sky WeirYou will be more successful with a sling shot.
Douglas from USAI'm considering buying one of these to be used as a prop in a short film... Will it display authentic-looking blow-back, quick-fire, multiple rounds action WITHOUT FIRING ANY PELLETS AT ALL? This is a safety concern for filming. I am looking for a CO2-powered pistol like this that will perform for the camera and look realistic but without firing any projectiles whatsoever.
asked BobYes it cycles without using pellets. It is both single and double action so rapid fire is possible. Overall, this replica looks very much like the real McCoy - from a distance it is difficult to tell the difference. It would make an excellent prop.
Douglas from USAwhere would I get spare mags for this? can someone give me a link or something?
asked Deltalima from USACan you ship this item to me in Thailand?
asked Michael from ThailandHas anyone worked out if it's possible to strip the weapon? I can see 2 pins and look like they can be punched through which are located next to the leaver that's meant to allow strip down. Has anyone tried removing these pins?
asked NickThe 2 pins under the pneumatic valve assy are used to retain it in the frame. All you need is a 1/16" drift punch and push them out by hand (don't hammer them).
Douglas from USACan this fire pointed pellets
asked NicThey will likely jam since they are too long. Use wadcutters only.
Douglas from USAwould some co2 cartridges and pellets come with the gun ?
asked siheon from India








I taped over the magazine well to prevent falling into dirt. Extremely annoying defect.
Pros
Good weight and feel, decent accuracy
Cons
Terrible magazine design. Pellets fall out and blowback action jars magazine loose letting it fall out while shooting.
