Now that I'm making dedicated Chronograph videos of my air guns, I have been asked several times now to also Chrony my Cybergun Sig Sauer P226 X-Five and Cybergun GSG 92 CO2 Blowback 4.5mm BB guns. Well, here is the first video of the two very popular Cybergun pistols.
My Chronograph results where very good with an average 8 shot FPS result of 328! I also took some extra time to revisit my target result testing and shot the Sig Sauer BB shooter at a target from 20 feet out in a free standing position and it got about a 1.5 inch grouping which is very respectable for a blowback BB shooter.
Lastly a pulled out my Casio high-speed camera and took some video of the blowback action of the Cybergun Sig Sauer P226 X-Five at 210 frames per second.
Enjoy my Vimeo Video of the Cybergun Sig Sauer P226 X-Five CO2 BB gun getting Chronographed, shooting at a target and slowed down a bit.
There are only a few more days to get your pre-order Tanfoglio Witness 1911 A1 Blowback at the introductory price of $149. Once they arrive (Expected this Friday May 27th) they will be going up to their regular price of $169. This has been a very popular item so far as expected!
Type: BB air pistol. Manufacturer: ASG. Model:ASG STI Duty One 1911 Blowback. Materials: Metal slide and polymer frame. Weight: 1.8 pounds. Barrel: Metal non-rifled. Propulsion: CO2 x 1. Action: Semi auto blowback, single action. Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 20 round magazine. FPS: 383. Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the ASG STI Duty One 1911 is nice and light due to its true blowback operation that cocks the hammer back with each shot taken. The pull is rather long but nothing really happens till you get right to the end and then there is just a slight bit of pressure and a quick release. Accuracy: I shot the STI Duty One 1911 air gun at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and it performed well getting a 1.5 to 2 inch grouping right in the center of the target. The rear sight is adjustable for windage which is always nice to have just in case you are shooting a bit to the left or right. For me there was no need to adjust the sights. My Chrony testing with an eight shot averaged result was 373 fps - very decent for a blowback pistol! Build Quality: ASG did an awesome job designing and making the STI Duty One 1911 Blowback BB gun, they didn't really compromise on anything other than the polymer frame! With that said all that important parts like the Slide, Slide Catch, Safety, Mag Release, Hammer, Barrel and Magazine are all metal. The fit and finish as with all the ASG air guns is excellent! Realism: The ASG STI Duty One 1911 Blowback is a really close replica to the real steel STI 1911, the only real giveaway is the trigger design, as a true 1911 trigger is not your typical lever type. Even with the different type of trigger the STI Duty One is a very good replica complete with all the STI licensing and trademarks. Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.
Pros:
Realistic true blowback action.
Adjustable rear sight for windage.
True single action blowback gun.
Excellent quality control. Very well made, fit and finish is excellent
Good power, accuracy, and CO2 efficiency for a blowback gun.
Metal dropout magazine.
Good STI Replica.
Extremely enjoyable gun to shoot!
Cons:
Trigger is not true to the real 1911 style.
Has a polymere frame, not metal.
I found the CO2 kind of hard to get out.
Comments: I am quickly realizing that ASG is a company that makes not only some really nice air pistols, but also ones with excellent quality control and design. The STI Duty One 1911 Blowback CO2 BB gun is no exception to this and I found it a blast to shoot because it felt great in the hand, shot hard and on target, performed flawlessly and I was able to get a lot of shots from a CO2 even with the blowback and high fps for a blowback shooter. If you're a 1911 fan or you simply like full size guns that mean business, then take a look at the ASG STI Duty One 1911 Blowback CO2 BB pistol. If I had to pick one BB shooter to take out for a day of plinking, this would probably be the one!
Along with my Steyr M9-A1 that arrived today, I also received my ASG STI Duty One 1911 Blowback BB Pistol. I have to say every single ASG product that I have received to date has just really been a high quality product with absolutely excellent quality control. And my STI 1911 Duty One is no exception.
The ASG STI 1911 is not entirely metal but it does have good weight and it does have metal where you want like in the slide, barrel, trigger, hammer, magazine, magazine release button, safety and slide catch. The frame is however polymer.
It was nice to see an adjustable rear sight for windage and like a true 1911 the ASG STI 1911Duty One is single action only so you will need to cock the hammer or rack the slide to get it going. I'm really looking forward to shooting this gun tomorrow so look forward to that YouTube video review coming up very shortly, maybe even by tomorrow night I'll have it up?
Everyone has been asking for a true Colt 1911 A1 styled blowback Air gun with a true Colt 1911 trigger system. Well I guess the folks over at Cybergun where listening because they just released their Tanfoglio Witness 1911 A1 Blowback CO2 BB Pistol and it looks awesome!
We are expecting them in stock in just over a weeks time so make sure to get your order in now at our introductory pricing.
Here are some specifications to keep you going until we get them in stock and I get the chance to review this fine 1911 A1 Colt replica.
One thing that can really add functionality but also give your gun that customized look is a Fore-grip and or a Bipod. I've added two Fore-grips for you to choose from and a really nice barrel mounted quick release Bipod.
You can always have some more holsters, everyones needs are different! Some like it discrete and some like to lay it all out for everyone to see. Now to go with our already existing Beretta 92FS Leather Belt Holster, Nylon Laser Holster and Nylon Shoulder Holster we have two more for you to choose from.
I did have one pistol laser in the Replica Airguns Store but I really wanted to add some more variety, especially when it came to Tactical Lights since I didn't have any of these yet. I picked out a nice selection of lights and lasers from NcSTAR that should fill most requirements for your rifle or pistol.
I already have a customized full auto Drozd Blackbird who can pass up another Dorzd when the price is right! I will be making a double Drozd video down the road :)
My new Classic Drozd came with the Full Auto mod chip, the JimC hand made barrel, a 68ci Nitro Duck 4500 PSI carbon fiber tank and bulk air hose.
I also got the Red Dot scope with my new purchase but used one of my rial risers that fit perfectly giving my new Drozd an AR look to it.
And we also have them available for purchase in our Replica Airguns Store so make sure to check them out!

We are starting to get a fair amount of Beretta 92FS styled guns over here at Replica Airguns so I thought it would be nice to have a custom hand made hip holster that perfectly fits the Beretta 92FS styled hand gun.
The one we brought in is custom hand made out of black leather with basket weave detailing, a real high quality belt holster that fits perfectly on your hip.
This fine holster fits many of the Beretta 92 FS styled guns like the:
It's no secret we sell airgun over at the Replica Airguns Store but I added another pretty necessary accessory to the store a bit ago, and that would be CO2, lord knows I go through lots of it!
We now have CO2 available Individually for 99 cents per CO2 cartridge. We also sell it in 50 Unit quantities which works out to 70 cents per CO2 cartridge and if you're expecting a Zombie attach any time soon you can even buy our 400 Unit Pack which works out to 50 cents per CO2 but who's counting money at that point, your just glad to still be alive!

Here is my YouTube Video for this Contest Giveaway Results!
I did a full review of the ASG CZ 75 P-07 DUTY a while back but I didn't include any actual footage of the CZ 75 shooting. This BB shooter has a nice blowback action so I wanted to show you how this semi auto air pistol cycled in regular speed and then slowed down to 420 frames per second with my Casio high speed camera.

Here is my YouTube video showing the CZ 75 P-07 DUTY in action:
We just got in some Wood Grips for your Zoraki 914. Well technically they are plastic but they look like wood! We have limited supplies of these real imitation wood grain grips and once they are gone they may be gone for ever - or at least till we get some more. That is if we can get some more, it's really hard to say?
I wanted to go back and do a full Chronograph Chrony test for my Umarex PX4 Storm and I thought I may as well do a live target shooting test while I was at it. I also thought I would try out my under barrel laser sight and see how it worked and what it looked like while filming it shooting in action. The PX4 shot an average of around 340 fps using 6.9 grain RWS pellets.
And lastly, I pulled out my Casio high speed camera and shot the blowback action of the PX4 Storm, first in real time and then also slowed down to 420 frames per second.
Here is my Vimeo video showing my Chronograph and Shooting results for the Umarex PX4 Storm:
Today I got my Cybergun Full Auto CO2 powered BB shooting Mini UZI out for a Chrony Chronograph test. As stated by the factory, this BB shooting Mini UZU is supposed to shoot right around 344 fps which is not bad for a true blowback airgun. And what I mean by true blowback - it's when an airgun uses some of the CO2 power to cycle the action of the gun, which cocks the firing mechanism and loads a BB all in the blink of an eye - just like a real semi auto shooter.
The Cybergun Mini UZI shot nicely between 350 and 360 fps - again, another impressive result even on a not too warm day! (10 degrees Celsius - 50 degrees fahrenheit)
I also took the opportunity to film the Cybergun Mini UZI shooting in full auto, at target while I used my high speed Casio camera to slow down what was actually happening. The result is you can really see all that's going on while you fire this dynamic air gun.
Keep in mind that the Cybergun Mini UZI does not come from the factory with the full auto feature. It is an easy mod however, and I have a video here on how to do it.

Yet another Chronograph video! I'm working my way through my air guns and starting with the ones that I have been asked about the most, and that I'm also the most interested in finding out what the true "real word" feet per second ratings are.
Todays Chrony Chronograph test was done on my Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle Blowback CO2 .177 caliber pellet pistol. The factory rating was stated as being a respectable 425 fps which is pretty good for a blowback pellet shooter. The Umarex Desert Eagle is a crisp and accurate shooter that likes to eat up CO2 cartridges, so the factory claims are believable!
I am happy to say that on a fresh CO2 cartridge, in not too warm spring Vancouver weather, I not only hit the 425 claimed fps, but exceeded it with a few shots.
Watch my Vimeo video of the Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle full Chronograph test:
This may not be a big deal to most of you but if you happen to own or are thinking about getting a Webley Alecto in either a .177 caliber or .22 caliber pellet version, and you are a left handed shooter... then having the appropriate grips is going to make life just a little easier for you!
If you haven't taken a look at the Webley Alecto, maybe you should because it is a pretty amazing Pellet Pistol for target or pest control.
