   I was incredibly happy when I first got the gun- A few quick test shots, and even an entire evening of shooting after I was satisfied with its initial feel, showed a lot of promise, but after my last magazine of bbs, I noticed a complete lack of any sort of spring tension in the trigger when the hammer was down, for its double-action purpose. A quick disassembly showed me that the spring itself had snapped, and I couldn’t find the damn thing- Likely fell out while i was opening up the pistol, not that I would have been able to mend it if I had found it, due to the construction of the trigger and how the spring is housed within. Everyone else seems to be very satisfied with their pistol, so this could be a one-off issue, but be aware that the spring inside the trigger is both irreplaceable and, in my opinion, very flimsy- Even the hammer spring is thicker and provides more tension than the trigger spring.

   I for one was looking VERY forward this this air gun, but when it arrived today its trigger was this flappy loose STICK and obviouslt couldent fire. Such a shame the gun looks great but wont work! 1 star. Umarex could do better!

   Nice gun. Easy to work on. Well designed. I popped the right side off and checked it out and re-lubed everything. 7 fine phillips head screws hold it together. For some reason the factory spring behind the hammer had a bit of slack at the end of the throw, so I shimmed it .090”. May give it a hair more umph. Shot fine without it though. Chronographed at 390 fps on a 70 degree day with fresh C02. The barrel does fit a bit loose inside the slide, but this allows shims to adjust the front sight. I used 1/4” squares of black electrical tape, (slide will stay back if you push the safety up). The rear sight is a bit high, so it can be filed down to adjust. With it apart the C02 thumb tab assembly pops out in 1 piece, so it is easy to replace with a flush homemade nut and bolt requiring a screwdriver. I had the luxury of a lathe to cut a concave mating surface on the panhead bolt head. A machine shop would probably do it for a couple bucks. Accuracy seems decent. I used routine quality BB’s and grouped within 4” at 20’ freestanding. I am no expert at this either! I had some really old Copperhead Crossman BB’s that were a bit less accurate. Marksman BB’s were too big for the barrel. Standard Daisy’s is what I used. If in doubt, get a couple extra magazines. They function very well and are metal and come in handy. The feel of this gun is very nice. Cocking the hammer and shooting targets in single action is great. Double action works well too. This gun has a very convincing real firearm look and feel. I chose it partly because Umarex has a reputation for good seals. It does hold pressure for days, have not tried weeks yet. As for impact power, at 15’ it shot through 1 side of a steel soup can and dented the backside. At 20’ it went through 8 to 9 layers of regular corrugated cardboard box material. It has good power for target practice through at least 100 shots. Probably a lot more, haven’t counted. Too busy having fun!! This gun is a great value for the money.

   A professionally designed pistol with the safety where it should be, under the thumb, the Makarov is about the size of a Walther PPK/S coming in at just over 6″. It is ideal to slip into the pocket, especially for those mean dogs that may confront you. At 20 feet I printed one group with two shots in the 10 ring bull, two shots in the 8 ring and one flyer on a NRA Official 25′ Rapid Fire Pistol Target. Except the flyer that’s a one inch group, and I think I could put them all in the bull on a steadier day. Previous group as I warmed up was 2″. Penetration into a phone book was good, averaging about 88 pages plus the cardboard cover is probably equal to almost a hundred pages, but denting and tearing occurred into 170 pages, so that’s good enough power for me and the dogs! After 30 shots it was still putting the BB’s well into the phone book to 78 pages plus the cardboard cover, so regular Crosman CO2 cartridge doesn’t play out badly. After more than fifty shots it shoots through one side of a heavy Progresso Soup can and heavily dents the backside. A sleek little gun which has a steel working slide and hammer, very crisp fast double action. Slide a bit loose, but expected as not a real firearm. NO TELLTALE PLASTIC SEAMS ON SLIDE, TRIGGER, AND HAMMER! NO LARGE TELLTALE WHITE MARKINGS OF SAFETY WARNINGS, but the warning is small engraved on right side of slide, so doesn’t detract from the real gun look. Plastic hammer has a metal ball insert in it to activate the firing pin and snags on single action cocking when magazine is fully loaded and in place. Does not snag when magazine is removed. Plastic trigger and hammer are disappointing. What would it cost to make them steel? I can get a bar of 1018 steel for pennies, about a dollar. You could make a dozen or more hammers from it. Sights are minimal. Front sight is small and thin and does not pick up easily in dim light, but it has an excellent sight rib on top of slide to enable easy tracking. Put some kind of ‘White Out’ or white paint on front sight. Get yourself extra clips so you can change them and reload in an instant in case you need to shoot right away and the same cartridge should last for more rounds. It takes time to load them, but there is a detent on the magazine to allow you to stack the BB’s in, holding it upright of course, and then let the tension back onto the spring. Mag holds 18 rounds, manual says it holds 18. Good finish, looks like a real steel pistol. Most of all it’s slim and compact and that’s what I wanted. With a shorter barrel and no adjustable sights this doesn’t shoot as accurately as my 1008 Repeatair which only holds 8 pellets, but shoots almost as hard and is more than accurate enough to hit dogs with. If that guy who was killed by those two large Cane Corsos up in Michigan had had one of these to discourage the attack he might still be alive! The air pistol would not have killed the dogs but he could have blasted them in the face if they had not stopped. He said something as he was dying like, “please help me, I don’t want to die”. So pitiful and avoidable, but he was jogging and didn’t expect the attack. That’s the way it happens, you don’t expect it, so be ready. It may seem inhumane to shoot dogs but it is more inhumane to suffer dog-bite and death by dog(s)! Always wear safety glasses when shooting any gun. As the warning says, do not brandish this gun in public, it may alarm people who may think it is an actual firearm. Conclusion: Get this pistol and slip it into your pocket!
