UMAREX COLT DEFENDER CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW

5 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:Umarex.

Model:Colt Defender.

Materials: Mostly metal construction with a few plastic parts.

Weight: 1.6 pounds.

Barrel: 4.3 inches, metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, double action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 18 round magazine.

FPS: 440.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on this gun is medium and a bit long, the break point is a bit hard to predict but once you get used to it being on the long side it shoots pretty good.

Accuracy: This was my second time shooting the Colt Defender at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and again it performed about the same as the first time, with a decent 2 inch grouping. I think with practice, I could get this easily down to a 1.5 inch group.

Build Quality: As the Colt Defender is almost all metal, you can't really complain to much about the durability aspects of this gun. Where I was let down a bit was the lack of functionality. In other words - parts that normally served a purpose like the hammer, slide release, sight adjustments and rear safety - all where just molded into the metal gun and where only for show.

Realism: The Umarex Colt Defender is a licensed replica of the real 45 auto Colt Defender pistol. It is a close looking copy with the exception of the trigger mechanism.

Purchased this gun at : The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Almost all metal construction!

  • Good accuracy and power combination.

  • Very solid and durable air gun.

  • Decent replica of the actual Colt Defender 45 auto.

Cons:

  • Most of the mechanical parts are molded into the gun.

  • I don't like the screw holes on the right hand side of the gun - a dead giveaway.

  • I would have liked a drop out magazine.

  • Ejection port metal material is only a plastic sticker.

Comments:

This is another low cost replica air gun from Umarex designed for the more entry level buyer. It's a very solid and well made gun being that it's mostly metal. There are many positive aspects about teh Colt Defender, it's fairly consistent and accurate, has all the Colt licensing and trademark, has a good 440fps, uses an all metal design, and comes in at a very affordable price.

UMAREX H&K USP CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW

3 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:Umarex.

Model:H&K USP.

Materials: Mostly Plastic exterior with metal magazine and internal parts.

Weight: 1.8 pounds.

Barrel: 4 inches, metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, double action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 22 round magazine.

FPS: 400.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on this gun is medium, it has a predictable break point and is easy to shoot.

Accuracy: This was my second time shooting the H&K USP at a target from 20 feet out free standing and again it performed about the same with a decent 2 inch grouping.

Build Quality: You would think as this air pistol is mostly all plastic on the outside, that it would seem cheap and not so well made, but in fact the opposite is true! The plastic is of very good quality and form looking at it you would think the slide was actually made out of metal. Many of the internal parts and the full size drop free magazine are made out of metal giving the H&K USP a very solid and hefty feel.

Realism: The Umarex H&K USP is a licensed replica of the real H&K USP automatic pistol. It is an extremely close looking and accurate copy.

Purchased this gun from: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Good price for such a realistic looking replica - excellent prop gun!

  • Good accuracy and power combination.

  • Nice full size 22 round drop out metal magazine..

  • Even though it has a lot of plastic, they used high quality materials.

Cons:

  • No blowback.

  • Would have been nice to have at least a metal slide.

  • Slide catch is moulded into the frame and the slide does not function in any way.

Comments:

This is another low cost replica air gun from Umarex designed for the more entry level buyer. It's actually a very well made gun despite all the plastic parts and it even has all the H&K USP licensing and trademarks. There is a lot of good with the Umarex H&K USP, it's fairly consistent and accurate, has good fps, uses "good quality" plastic, and  comes in at a very affordable price.

Safe Air and Blank Gun Storage Unit On a Budget

No Comments

I ran out of room for all my air guns and blank guns in my gun locker a while ago and so I have been on the lookout for a safe way to keep my air and blank guns secured and out of reach.

I have two little kids and I do make a point to keep an unloaded air gun around for them to check out and get used to, (so it's not such a big deal down the road for them). I have started to at least make them aware of what guns are and not to handle guns unless an adult is around and says it's OK. I want them to know early on that guns can be very dangerous when used the wrong way. But thats' another article on it's own!

<!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-9036472715040282"; /* Replica Airguns Content */ google_ad_slot = "1487049688"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 15; //-->

I have been considering another gun locker or safe but they can be very expensive and are usually limited in size, especially if you're looking for an inexpensive one. In Canada, air guns and non-prohibited blank guns don't technically legally need to be locked in a gun safe or gun cabinet but personally I still feel the need to keep my air and blank guns locked up to some degree. So I thought, what about some sort of a lockable storage or utility cabinet?

I finally came across what I think is an excellent solution and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg! I went with an upright utility cabinet from Black & Decker (SpaceAir Collection). Mine is 70 inches tall, 15 inches deep, and 27 inches wide. It's made out of sturdy plastic and most importantly it's lockable!

I went with a pretty large utility cabinet as I have lots of air and blank guns but if you have a small to medium air and blank gun collection, you could always get the half size shorter version of this type of unit.

Umarex Makarov CO2 4.5mm BB Pistol Review

2 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: BB air pistol.
Manufacturer: Umarex.
Model: Makarov.
Materials: Mostly metal with a few plastic parts.
Weight: 1.5 pounds.
Barrel: 2.8 inches, metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto, double/single action.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 18 round magazine.
FPS: 380.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on this gun is light to medium, in single action mode when the hammer is pre-cocked, the trigger is nice and light and easy to predict. When shooting double action the trigger first cocks the hammer and then near the end there is a break point where the hammer releases.
Accuracy: This was my second time shooting this gun at a target from 20 feet out free standing and again the Makarov performed well. The ability to shoot in single action, definitely helps with the accuracy.
Build Quality: Being an all metal gun (mostly all metal), makes the gun feel solid and sturdy. The only plastic parts I could find on the Umarex Makarov where the grips and the safety lever. The painted finish is nice but maybe a bit on the glossy side.
Realism: The Umarex Makarov is a licensed replica of the Makarov PM 9x18 Russian military and police pistol. It is a very close copy in both looks and feel. 
Purchased this gun from: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Great price for an all metal licensed Makarov replica.
  • Good accuracy and power combination.
  • Sports both single and double action.
  • All metal 18 round drop free magazine.

Cons:

  • No blowback.
  • The slide catch/release does not work, as it's moulded into the frame.
  • Paint may be a bit glossy for some people.

Comments:
This is another low cost replica air gun from Umarex designed for the more entry level buyer. It's actually a very well made all metal gun complete with the Makarov licensing and trademarks. There is a lot to like about the Umarex Makarov, it's accurate, has decent fps, uses good materials, has a working slide and all at a very affordable price.

New Holster for my Makarov and Tactical Rail for my Desert Eagle Arrived

2 Comments

If you have watched my Umarex Desert Eagle Review Video, you probably heard me whining about not having an under barrel Tactical Rial for my Umarex Desert Eagle. Well the whining paid off because with some help from Justin from California USA, I was able to get a replacement Tactical Rail! I guess Justin didn't need his and he offered to sell me his at a very reasonable price and I am now so happy my Umarex Desert Eagle has been reunited with its accessory Tactical rail.

 

I also received another treat today in the mail - a beautiful tanned leather holster for my Nickel Baikal Makarov graciously given to me by Mark from Ontario Canada. Mark has a wonderfull collection of Air guns past and present and had an extra Makarov holster he though I would appreciate - and I certainly do!

Thanks so much Justin and Mark!

Makarov - 16

FPS:

Colt Defender - 440

H&K USP - 400

S&W M&P - 480

Makarov - 380

Trigger Pull: On all these guns the trigger pull is about medium with a bit of a break near the end. Only the Makarov has Single Action capability which gives it a much nicer and lighter trigger pull when desired.

Accuracy:

Colt Defender - At 20 feet in standing unrested position I got about a 2 inch group from 10 rounds.

H&K USP - At 20 feet in standing unrested position I got about a 2 inch group from 10 rounds.

S&W M&P - At 20 feet in standing unrested position I got about a 1.5 inch group from 10 rounds.

Makarov - At 20 feet in standing unrested position I got about a 1 inch group from 10 rounds.

Build Quality:

Colt Defender - Mostly metal with plastic grips, the gun had good finishing and a hefty weight to it.

H&K USP - Mostly good quality plastic with a full metal, full size magazine that gave the gun a solid feel

S&W M&P - Almost entirely plastic, it felt more like a toy then a gun because of it's light weight and shinny finish.

Makarov - Mostly metal with plastic grips and safety. This gun has good weight, feel and finishings.

Realism:

Colt Defender - Even though this BB gun is mostly metal, there are not a lot of moving parts, most parts where moulded into the gun and un-operational with the exception of the trigger and magazine release button.

H&K USP - I found it easy to forget about all the plastic in this air gun because of the excellent detail, everything is exactly right where it's supposed to be!

S&W M&P - On paper this gun is the right size and shape and pretty much looks like the real S&W M&P. You just don't want to get too close or pick it up or the illusion is lost.

Makarov -  An overal good replica with a moving slide that's even filed strip-able. The paint is a bit shinny but it makes for a nice looking gun overall.

Purchased thes guns at: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Colt Defender - Mostly metal, high FPS.
  • H&K USP - Very realistic, full metal full size drop out magazine.
  • S&W M&P - Surprisingly good accuracy, high FPS, drop out metal magazine.
  • Makarov - Mostly metal, moving slide, double and single action, drop out metal slide.

Cons:

  • Colt Defender - Most moving part are non-functional, no drop out magazine.
  • H&K USP - More metal and a moving slide would have been a nice touch.
  • S&W M&P - Lots of cheap plastic, no real weigh to it, parts mostly moulded into the air pistol.
  • Makarov - No blowback, no slide catch, paint is a bit shinny.

Comments:

I had very low expectations for most of these guns based on their low price point. But in the end, I was impressed with at least a couple things about them each of them! I can honestly recommend all of them but just make sure you buy them for the right reasons... If you want a high FPS and accurate target BB pistol then take a look at the Umarex S&W M&P. If you want an all metal gun with lots of moving parts then the Umarex Makarov is probably for you. If you're looking for a very close replica that's got a full size drop out magazine then you probably want the Umarex H&K M&P. If you want something that is super solid and almost indestructible then get then the Umarex Colt Defender juts might fit that bill.

Colt Defender - H&K USP - S&W M&P - Makarov Replica BB Guns Arrive!

7 Comments

Now I haven't shot any of these guns yet, but I did get the chance to open all the packaging and give them a quick once over. My opinions of some of these guns may change after shooting them, depending on how they do, but as it stands I will give my first impressions of the guns. I'm not going to get into all the details as I will be doing individual reviews on each BB gun down the road. So here's a few pros and cons for each replica BB gun based on their first impressions:

Umarex Colt Defender 4.5mm CO2 BB Pistol:

The Umarex Colt Defender is basically a nice looking and fairly heavy all metal BB replica that feels good in the hand and has the Colt markings. It has a medium trigger pull with fairly good finishing.

The down side, it has no removable magazine, and most of the guns external mechanical parts like the hammer, slide release and safety, are molded into the metal and are non-operational.

Umarex Makarov 4.5mm CO2 BB Pistol:

Next we have the Umarex Makarov, this one is probably my immediate favorite out of the bunch for reasons like: It came in a box and has a movable and removable slide. For the most part it is all metal including the drop out magazine. The trigger pull again is about medium and even the safety is in the right place and is actually functional.

Some of my dislikes for this gun are the non-functioning slide release, so even though in this picture it looks like the slide is locked back, it's actually not (I'll show you how I did this in the future video!!). There is also no blowback action with this gun but to be fair, non of the other guns in this comparison have blowback either!

Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P CO2 BB Pistol:

I'm sorry to say the Umarex S&W M&P so far is my least favorite of the bunch, but first let's be positive... It's the right size and shape, has all its bits and pieces and markings in the right places so it would make an excellent low cost prop gun for sure! It is also the only gun with fiber optic sights and it does have a drop out metal magazine.

Now for the bad. When you pick this gun up it just feels cheap and plasticy, more like a toy then a gun! the trigger is OK but it's just so hard to get over the weight and feel of this BB gun. I hope it is a dream to shoot, that might be it's saving grace for me.

Umarex H&K USP CO2 BB Pistol:

OK, so let's leave of on a good note. The Umarex H&K USP was a close second to the Makarov in terms of first impressions with these low cost replica air guns. Even though a lot of the gun is plastic, it has a good weight and feel to it, this is partially due to the full size drop out metal magazine. The Umarex H&K USP also has everything in all the right places including the H&K markings and it too takes advantage of using the safety lever as originally intended, not just molded into the frame for show. Non of the guns had overly heavy trigger pulls and the H&K USP was no exception.

On the down side, it would have been nice to have a metal working slide to finish it off, and even though the hammer moves when the trigger is pulled, it's really only for show as it does not stay back and allow for both single and double action operation. Instead you can only shoot in this gun in double action.

So that about wraps up this initial overview of my first impressions of the Umarex Colt Defender, H&K USP, S&W M&P, and Makarov Replica BB guns. Next I will be shooting a YouTube table top comparison review of these low cost replica BB guns, so make sure to check back!

Replica Airguns Store Launches

No Comments

I am happy to announce that Replica Airguns has launched its own Store! For a long time now all I have been able to do was refer other Air Gun and Blank Gun stores for my visitors to purchase products, and to be honest I'm still going to recommend you check out other stores as I can't possibly carry everything and in some cases I may or may not have the best price. I can tell you that I will do my best to supply some very interesting and popular products.

Now our web-store concept is simple, we will have some featured items listed at the top and below that, some of our more popular items we carry broken down into a few categories with links to posts and videos about each product. If you want more information or you want to purchase any item/s simply email us and we will give you a quote on the item/s you are requesting.

Keep in mind we have more products available then we list in our store, so send us an email if you are looking for something specific and we will do our best to accommodate you, or at least refer you to someone who can help you with the product/s you are looking for.

Bunch of Airguns coming for a Low Cost Replica Comparison Shootout

2 Comments

Related Posts:

I am a bit of a stickler for blowback air guns, and if they don't have blowback, then they have to offer other points of realism that will win me over. Like with the Baikal Makarov and how it's pretty much a real Makarov but converted to shoot BB's.

So in some ways I'm a bit of an airgun snob and I have tended to stay away from the lower cost replica air guns for reasons like: Too much plastics, no blowback, too many non-working parts... Well I'm throwing it all in the wind for this next batch of airguns I am going to review and compare. They all sell for well under $100 and some even below $50. What they all have in common is that they are decent looking replicas of the original guns they represent and they all happen to be made by Umarex.

The guns are availabe in the Replica Airguns Store:

Umarex Colt Defender CO2 BB Pistol

Umarex H&K USP CO2 BB Pistol

Umarex S&W M&P CO2 BB Pistol

Umarex Makarov CO2 BB Pistol

When they get here I plan to do a full side-by-side comparison review of these Umarex replica CO2 BB guns and compare them based on accuracy, build quality, realism and shoot-ability. So make sure to check back and see how these air pistols compare?

Replica Airguns On the Set of "One Life"

No Comments

Today I had  the opportunity to to work with the production company "Punjabi Sports", they where shooting a full length movie called "One Life" that required some authentic looking prop guns for one of the scenes in the movie. I had a great time and learned a lot about how much is involved in making just a few minutes of final movie footage. I have to say next time I will dress just a bit warmer.

Below are some quick photos I took with my iPhone while on set.

All I want for Christmas is a Casio EX FC100 High Speed 1000 Frames Per Second Camera, and I'm getting one!

I know this website is all about Replica Air Guns and Blank Guns but I got to keep up with the Jone's! What I'm trying to say is there are some pretty sweet YouTube videos out there that take advantage of some High-Speed capable cameras that can take video up to as many as 1000 frames-per-second. Even though at that super high frame rate the resolution drops down a lot, you still get to see every single thing that the naked eye can't.

Even with my high end Digital SLR Canon EOS Rebel T2i, that is 60 frames per second capable in High Definition, I'm still not able to really slow the motion down enough to see the real story. That will all soon change...

Thanks to phgHunter, another YouTuber with some air gun interests and a high speed camera of his own, I was introduced to the Casio EX FC100. And if by fate, I received an email today from CanadaComputers.com and just as I was about to throw it in the trash I caught a glimpse of what I though just might be the camera I was looking at. A couple of clicks, wallet openings, credit card security formalities and wham-bam thanks for the camera mam! All for the ridiculously low sale price of only $153.42 shipped and taxed :) Thanks Santa's wallet!

Look forward to my future videos complete with super-slow-mo!

UPDATE: I just got an email from CanadaComputers.com but a week later informing me that I paid $40 too much as it's now on sale for only $89. I sent them an email in hopes that they will reimburse my payment the difference! We'll see what they do...

UPDATE #2: I will not be buying anything else from CanadaComputers.com.
