The fully licensed Cybergun Jericho 941 has been out of stock for almost half a year and now we have it again! Don't let this one slip through your fingers again. It's a really nice airgun for the money, well made with a full size drop out metal magazine and metal slide!
After what seemed like forever, we now have some more Cybergun Sig Sauer P226 X-Five's back in stock. And I am talking about the non-open or non-sight rail version, we never did run out of the sight rail version...
So if you have been waiting you can pick one up Right Now!
I added another NcSTAR accessory to the Canada Replica Airguns Store, this one is a laser only but it's a green laser which creates an ultra bright beam superior in brightness to just the standard red lasers.
We just added this new Tactical Light/Laser combo to our Canadian Replica Airguns store. If you're looking for a super high quality Weaver/Picatinny Style mount compact Tactical light and Laser combo, then the NcSTAR Tactical Flashlight/Laser Combo is a perfect choice. Yes this one is a bit more spendy but you get what you pay for, well that's what people tell me so I just pass the knowledge on to you ;)
I received another airgun from Umarex USA, this time it was the Browning Hi-Power Mark III in a 4.5mm CO2 BB Pistol. (Thanks for sending it Umarex!) I did have to cross the boarder and bring it back which always adds to the excitement because you never know what to expect and how educated the CBSA guard will be? It did go pretty smoothly this instance so I had some time to make this short Preview video for you.
Here is some of the basic info about the Umarex Hi-Power Mark III CO2 BB Pistol and by the way it is available in our US Replica Airguns Store, sorry my Canadian customers will have to wait a bit...
If you're a Browning collector, this gun belongs in your vault. The Browning Hi-Power is such a sought-after firearm, so it's about time someone made an airgun replica! This lightweight pistol shoots 4.5mm steel BB's and will deliver hours of shooting fun for only pennies per shot. Since it's a copy of the real steel firearm, you can use this air gun just about anywhere to maintain firearm proficiency without the exorbitant ammo costs or range fees.
4.5mm Steel BB
12 gram CO2 powered
18 round full size drop out magazine
410 fps
.75 pounds
4.75 inch steel smooth Bore barrel
Single & double action
Browning licensed!
Type: BB air pistol.
Manufacturer: Swiss Arms.
Model: Sig Sauer GSR 1911.
Materials: Mostly plastic construction with a few metal parts.
Weight: 1.3 pound.
Barrel: 4.5 inches, metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto, double action.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 20 round magazine.
FPS: 398 claimed - 450 real world.
Trigger Pull: The Swiss Arms Sig Sauer GSR 1911 has a double action trigger with about a medium weight pull to it. It does feel somewhat long as the break point seems to take a while to get to but once you master where it is, you can shoot this BB gun with surprising accuracy.
Accuracy: Once I sorted out the laser sight which took some MacGyvering (as explained in the video), this gun shot a nice tight pattern! For my quick test I shot free standing from 20 feet away and put 8 rounds into my target taking my time. I got about a 1.5 inch group which was very good and another note worth mentioning would be the Chronograph results I got, even though the Sig Sauer GSR 1911 CO2 BB pistol has a claimed fps of 398, mine came in consistently right around 450 fps!
Build Quality: The Swiss Arms GSR 1911 is mostly plastic and has very few actual moving parts, I'm personally not too worried about it, in fact the lack of moving parts means there is less to go wrong with it! I found the fit and finish to be good overall and as long as you are OK with the plastic this gun should be just fine for you. The only thing that would have been nice to see improved would be the laser and how it is adjusted. As is out of the box without modification, you will find that it easily moves out of aim. (I do explain how I fixed this problem in my video review)
Realism: The Swiss Arms Sig Sauer GSR 1911 in terms of size and looks, is about what the real gun would look like, with the exception of the trigger which is kind of a strange looking combination of triggers mashed into one. Of course being a moulded plastic airgun, it is much lighter then the real steel 1911 and has the telltale screw holes on the right hand side. The magazine ejector does work but the real steel safety, slide catch/release, hammer and grip safety are all moulded into the plastic so they do not function. On a good note the barrel muzzle is large like a real 45 caliber adding to the realism.
Purchased this gun from: The Replica Airguns Store.

Cons:
Comments:
The Swiss Arms Sig Sauer GSR 1911 is pretty much what you would expect from a low cost airgun in terms of build quality, lots of plastic, with less working parts. This does not take away from the performance however as the GSR 1911 performed well in both accuracy and power. It also comes with the laser sight, safety glasses and starter BB's as an added bonus for about the same price as many entry level airguns on their own. If you like ultra realistic guns then this is on may not be for you, but if you want a good performer with the replica look and combined with a value package then I think you will be more than happy with the Swiss Arms Sig Sauer GSR 1911.
My YouTube Video Review for the Swiss Arms Sig Sauer GSR 1911 CO2 Air Pistol:

I already mentioned all three of these gun in my previous posts, two being Airsoft: the King Arms Colt M4A1 All Metal and my Western Arms Shorty .40. And one being a 4.5mm steel BB shooter, the Swiss Arms Sig Sauer GSR 1911. I wanted to make you a quick YouTube Preview video to show you around all three replica guns before I get around to actually doing my full reviews for each of them.
I will most likely start off with my King Arms Colt M4A1 All Metal Airsoft rifle, then review my Swiss Arms Sig Sauer GSR 1911 4.5mm BB pistol, then finish off with my deal Airsoft pistol, the Western Arms Shorty 40.
This preview video should give you a good idea about these guns, but make sure to stay tuned for my full review videos for each of them.
The verdict is not out yet for the Swiss Arms Sig Sauer GSR 1911 4.5mm BB Pistol. I really had no idea what this airgun was like and so I was eagerly awaiting for it to show up so I could get a closeer look at it. For a $79 gun you do get a lot: 400 fps, with a 20 round drop out metal magazine, included laser sight with pressure switch, small pack of 4.5mm zinc plated BB's and a pair of protective shooting glasses. All in all a good value!
The down side is most of the gun is moulded plastic including the laser sight but what do you want for a few bucks? To really know if this airgun is a bargain or not, I will need to test it out on the Chronograph and a target. I think the real world performance is going to make it or break it for me with this one so stay tuned for the upcoming review...
Every once in a while you get kind of lucky and get a real steel on something. Here in Canada, getting your hands on an "all black" Airsoft pistol is kind of hard since they are literally impossible to import as they are considered replicas unless they shoot "over" a set fps which most Airsoft pistols have trouble obtaining. There are some all black guns floating around from before the import restriction and there are some that slip through the cracks.
Yesterday I went into my local Army Surplus store (they also sell Airsoft guns) and saw a rather interesting little black pistol in behind the glass, something I had never seen before. When I looked at it a bit close it was in fact an all black GBB Airsoft pistol version of the Smith & Wesson .40 caliber Shorty! The sales person quickly told me the $50 price tag was because it was non-functioning or as he called it a "Grave Yard Special" I though hey, makes for a nice replica even if it does not work and so I bought it on the spot.
As is pretty normal for me, I rarely take anyone at their word and like to check things out for myself. So I loaded the magazine up with propane, added 20 BB's to the magazine and headed to my deck to give it a try. 20 rounds later and with my slide locked back I came to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong with this Airsoft catch of the day!
If your wondering where to get one I am not really sure, I did see them online in some overseas sites for around $220 or so. So my $50 was well spent ;)
I am in the process of making a "preview video" of this gun and will do a follow up full review video down the road a bit.
It's been a while since I had a Giveaway Contest so I thought it was about time to throw another one, and what better time then to celebrate my six millionth YouTube video view and seven thousand five hundredth YouTube subscriber!

Good luck to everyone!
One question I get asked often is "Which are my favorite airguns?" or "What are my top 5 gun choices?" I have done my best to avoid answering this question because it's a very hard question to answer and to be truthful on any given day I may come up with a different selection of guns as there are just so many great airguns out there!
So today I took a bunch out and shuffled through them all to see if I could come up with five of my top picks, well at least for today that is, and I'm pretty happy with my selection (Umarex Desert Eagle - ASG CZ 75 P-07 Duty - Baikal MP-654K Makarov - Cybergun Tanfoglio Witness 1911 - ASG Dan Wesson 6 Inch Sliver). I know for a fact they are some excellent choices and if you happen to own or plan on buying one then I'm sure you will agree wiht me.
So checkout this Vimeo Video Review where I go through them and explain what I like about each gun, and why they made my Top 5 Airgun Pick.

The CBSA (Canada Customs) has posted some good news for a change about the Reclassification of Airsoft Guns that shoot over 366fps! (Customs Notice 12-005)
So what does this mean? In a nutshell, any Airsoft gun that shoots a .20 gram airsoft BB at over 366 fps is now considered an uncontrolled firearm just like a regular airgun. And so it can be made out of full metal and look exactly like a real gun even without the red tip. (before the threshold was .22 gram BB had to shoot over 407 fps)
This means we will now be able to bring a lot more "All Metal Replica" Airsoft guns into Canada that where previously not allowed because of our much higher feet per second restrictions.
Here is the official statement from the CBSA:
1. The purpose of this notice is to advise of changes affecting the classification of 6mm calibre airsoft guns.
2. Section 2 of the Criminal Code defines a firearm as “a barrelled weapon from which any shot, bullet or other projectile can be discharged and that is capable of causing serious bodily injury or death to a person, and includes any frame or receiver of such a barrelled weapon, as well as anything that can be adapted for use as a firearm”.
3. As outlined in Memorandum D19-13-2, Importing and Exporting Firearms, Weapons and Devices, it was previously established that an airsoft gun, firing a .22g 6mm plastic pellet, must have a muzzle velocity in excess of 124 m/s (407 fps), in order to be considered a firearm.
4. Based on the latest research, it is now established that the muzzle velocity at which a .20g 6mm plastic airsoft projectile is capable of causing serious bodily injury is 111.6 m/s (366 fps).
5. Airsoft guns, firing a .20g 6mm plastic pellet, with a muzzle velocity above 111.6 m/s (366 fps), will be classified as firearms. Please refer to D19-13-2 for the import requirements of low muzzle velocity firearms, including low muzzle velocity “uncontrolled” firearms.
6. If an airsoft gun, firing a .20g 6mm plastic pellet, shoots below 111.6 m/s (366 fps), and resembles with near precision an existing make and model of a firearm, other than an antique firearm, it will be classified as replica firearm. Replica firearms are prohibited devices and must meet import requirements as listed in D19-13-2.
7. Inquiries and comments about this notice should be directed to: Other Government Department Programs Unit Programs Branch Canada Border Services Agency E-mail: faw-aaf@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca
Here is the direct link to this Customs Notice 12-005 on the CBSA website!

Pre-Order-Special - Save $20 by ordering now and reserving yours now! (Expected the first week in March)
This video is mainly to address a couple of things I wanted to share with all of you. First off, I wanted to let everyone know by way of this video that I now have unique Webstores for both Canada and the US and I explain why I did this and how it effects your shopping experience. I also talk about what differentiates ReplciaAirguns.com from most of the other Webstores out there and why I take the extra time to make all these informative video reviews for you.
Secondly, I go over how to navigate my Webstore as I often get asked about how to purchase items from the Replica Airguns Store and exactly how to use PayPal when checking out with or without a PayPal account.
So even though this is not a super exciting video review, please take the time to watch it as there may be some information that will benefit you in the end...
Thanks - Mike

If you haven't already checked out my Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P Table Top Review, make sure to do so for all the details and specifications on the Umarex S&W M&P R8 CO2 BB Revolver.
This Field Test Review focusses primarily on how the S&W M&P R8 performs in feet per second velocity, its accuracy and of course my comments on it's shoot-ability and CO2 efficiency.
Although the Umarex R8 did not get a very high average FPS rating (336 fps 8 shot average), it was very cold on my test day and on the positive side, the lower FPS enables the R8 to get a lot of shots per CO2, I would imagine you can get close to 200 useable shots out of one CO2 cartridge with the Umarex S&W M&P R8. The low usage of CO2 also make this gun very quiet to shoot so if you live in an area where noise is a factor the R8 may be a great choice for you.

During my Table Top Review, the trigger felt a bit heavy to me but when actually shooting the R8 it felt pretty good in both single and double action with the double action actually surprising me a bit at how it seemed to smooth out. I was able to get very good double action target results even when shooting close together. When shooting in single action on a target I managed to get six out of eight shots within the 1.5 inch bulls eye, two stragglers made it outside but overall the Umarex S&W M&P R8 shot very well for a smooth bore BB pistol.
As far as mechanical consistency the Umarex S&W M&P R8 performed perfectly for me with no malfunctions of any kind and other then reloading being just a bit awkward (There is not much room to get the magazine out for reloading - very tight tolerances) the Umarex R8 makes for a very decent low cost BB revolver.
If you're on a budget and want a replica CO2 BB revolver with good accuracy and tons of shots per CO2, the Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P makes for a very suitable option.
