WOW! That was fast shipping from CanadaAmmo.com!!! I ordered my Zoraki R1 (2.5) Blank Revolver on Tuesday the 28th and got it today the 30th! I got my tracking number today expecting it to have an estimated arrival day sometime next week and when I checked it out it said it was already at the post office waiting for me. I don't know exactly where CanadaAmmo.com is located but from my tracking info it looks like they may be located somewhere in Vancouver BC which is very close to where I live.

I will be posting a more thorough review with Video hopefully sometime next week on the Zoraki R1 (2.5) Blank Revolver but for now I wanted to give you my first impressions with a few photos.

The gun comes in a nice box wrapped inside a plastic bag to keep the other accessories from scratching it along the way. Mine was pretty greasy and needed a wipe down and then a re-oil but that's better than dry and rusty any day. Inside the case there is a manual, a cleaning rod and a flare adaptor. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that CanadaAmmo.com gave me a FREE pack of targets (with their marketing on it of course).

The gun looks great and I love the two-tone Satin/Black finish that I selected. Mine had a few tool marks on it but over all it's not bad and I am sure it will get more marks along the way...

The gun is a good size and weight, not huge or not small either. It does not feel cheap and looks more like a real gun than a blank gun. The Canadian Zoraki R1 (2.5) Blank Revolver discharges out of the front of the barrel like my other Zoraki Mod.914 which is always very nice and more realistic.

The Zoraki R1 uses 9mm blanks and can take the standard 9mm P.A.K rounds but they seem a bit loose and may not eject properly. I believe the right ammo to use would be the Crimped Blank 9mm rounds which I do not have. (If anyone knows where I can get some 9mm crimped blanks in Canada please let me know?)

I look forward to shooting this well made Zoraki Blank gun sometime in October amongst the other Halloween explosions...

13 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: Pellet air pistol.

Manufacturer: Umarex.

Model:PX4 Storm.

Materials: Metal slide, composite frame.

Weight: 1.6 pounds.

Barrel: 4.5 inches, metal-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, blowback, double and single action.

Ammunition Type: .177 cal. Pellets or Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 16 rounds.

FPS: 380.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is long and light when in single action mode, there is a slight heavy spot at the begging when the rotary magazine is turned to advance to the next pellet and then another break point near the end to actuate the hammer.

Accuracy: Good, not amazing but pretty good.

Build Quality: Excellent, with a very nice slide finish that is more of a dyed metal rather than painted like most airguns. The non-metal components seem to be very durable and the fit and finish to this gun is outstanding.

Realism: This is a very close replica to the real Beretta PX4 Storm with licensed trademarks and most everything in all the right places. The only real acceptation is the safety lever which has been repurposed from the Umarex CP99 Compact BB Blowback Airgun.

Purchased this gun in: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Good reproduction of the original Beretta PX4 Storm.

  • Would make an excellent training gun as it has a similar size, weight, and feel to the actual Beretta PX4 Storm handgun.

  • Blowback action is very firm adding to the realism of shooting this weapon.

  • Good FPS and CO2 efficiency for a blowback Pellet air gun.

  • Nice easy to use sights with white spot markings for quick targeting.

  • Picatinny rail for accessories like a laser sight and/or tactical light.

Cons:

  • Non functioning slide release on frame and safety lever on slide.

  • Slide does not stay back after 8th shot so you need to count them off or you end up wasting a few shots before you realize no pellets are coming out.

  • No way to keep the slide back, no working slide release.

  • Safety lever seems out of place and takes away from the realism of this replica.

Comments:

The Umarex Beretta PX4 Storm is a very unique pellet blowback air pistol and there are very few airguns that sport all the same features. Not only is it a very close replica of the original Beretta PX4 Storm but it's also a blowback pellet shooter with decent FPS velocity. The Umarex PX4 Storm has decent accuracy and you can expect about 60 good shots out of a CO2 cartridge. At well under $100, this replica airgun is a great value and a nice addition to any airgun enthusiasts collection.
