"Well this pistol is super awesome in accuracy mobility and looks. I would easily give this a five star, but I opened mine up today and seen that the outer barrel was shattered. Too much recoil? Weak spot? I’m hoping that I can get a return on this through my store

"Love the gun. Nothings wrong with the gun itself. But I'd rather pick the green gas than co2. I wasted 2 of my co2 mag because I kept stripping the thread. Once you strip it, it's gone for parts. Idk how they design it. I never had a problem with my 1911 co2 mag but this one. Youre just twisting it then tighten it, then realized your stripping the thread. Go for green gas

"I've been looking at this pistol for a while now. Originally, I wanted a CO2 Glock but thought this would be a good compromise. It was...

The Good:
-Looks better in real life than it does on-line or in video reviews
-weight is on par to what a real Glock feels like
-it just looks like an AWESOME pistol
-slide thumb release is perfect
-only shot from 5 yds. however it shoots straight and hot! (Dented (1/4") 1/2 plywood from this distance)
-the SAI markings are perfect
-it really looks like attention to detail was paramount when creating it
-others have complained about stippling. I don't know why, it's absolutely fine
-Easy to disassemble
-well balanced in your hand

The Bad:
-the front sight is loose. There is a screw holding it in but I've tried to tighten it and the sight is still loose
-the barrel thread cap WILL fall off
-during shooting, mag fell out. Twice. Not too many ways you can load a mag so it's pretty hard to do it wrong. After a single shot, mag fell out. I put it back in and even hit the bottom to make sure it was in. Next shot, same. Only happened twice
-mag cover (where the CO2 goes) is loose
-I don't know why but it doesn't come with the SAI gold outer barrel. What's annoying, is that Evike won't sell it. You can buy it with the steel slide assembly, that's all
-threading the cap over the CO2 cartridge isn't easy. Getting the cap threads and mag threads to line up are NOT a quick task. (Get at least two more mags because reloading CO2 isn't something you'll be doing on the field) There has to be another way.
-BIG problem with o-ring that sits on top of CO2 cartridge.... IF YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION, YOU WILL LOSE THE O-RING. It's clear so always check to make sure it's there during a cartridge change

I love this pistol. It looks great and feels great. I still need to do a distance test to see how far and accurate it will shoot. I've been looking for aftermarket barrels (would love advice) and possibly hop-up depending on distance and accuracy. I've read that other's were getting around 200 feet with this pistol. I don't have a chrono but I can say for certain this is shooting around and above 350 fps. Rating would be five stars but the "Bad" (for me) is enough to down grade it to four.

"It is very nice indeed but you need to tighten down the pistion head. It's not lose it's like the screw is to long. all I did was put a o ring on the screw it worked fine

"Great pistol, Stupid CO2 mag already ruined the one mag by stripping threads. Also there is no threads on the barrel.
by Sean K. on 11/26/2018
"Just received my BLU and first impressions are great. It has a decent weight not too heavy and not too light. I had a problem with my threads however. my orange tip didnt want to come off and when i tried to twist it, it tore off my orange tip except the threaded part. Fix that however.
Some tips before buying this gun KJWs Glock 17 or 18 mags do work with this gun
Also if your looking for a holster any glock 20 holsters will fit this

"Decent gbb pistol, I like that it came with a threaded barrel and the ability to use co2 or green gas. It also has a nice feel in the hand. Now for the negative, I'm not a fan of the extended mag release. Of course that's a personal thing but I have had the mag fall out of it several times while holstered. The most substantial problem I have with it though is the slide sticks even though I have it lubricated. It has done this straight out the box which is frustrating for a gbb pistol this price. All in all it still functions well in play and has some nice features.

"So after looking at plenty of reviews of this gun, I decided to get it with my expectations set very high. The first thing I noticed is that it feels great in my hand. It has a solid blow-back and looks awesome when I added my aftermarket gear to it. Unfortunately (on my version at least), the somewhere on the slide of this gun is not fitted/is loose and it rattles, a lot. Also, the slide got caught on something when I first started shooting it but slowly went away (just tap it forward and you are good). The orange tip is made of a soft plastic so do not just rip it off because it will be a hassle to clear it out, trust me. Overall it gets the job done, looks cool, and performs very well in CQB but the rattle and slide getting stuck are pretty annoying for a gun that you spend $180 on.

"My first impressions

Let me start by saying I was very impressed with the accuracy. I was able hit a small child's jump rope handle hanging from a tree at 20 ft with 100% accuracy. It was truly impressive. The recoil felt good and as I've seen mentioned the trigger pull feels great as well. The pistol has a nice over all feel and is very nice looking.

I do have a couple complaints. The hop up isn't marked as to indicate which direction is up and which is down. While I did figure it out I have already since forgotten which is which. I think it will lead to future frustrations. My other major complaint is also something others have mentioned is the paint job. I think others are being generous. The quality of the paint job is pretty horrible. The first time u rack the slide even after oiling it well it will remove paint. If you spray painted this thing yourself it wouldn't be any worse. I'm a little perplexed by this feature still. If keeping your gun pretty is important than don't buy this. However if battle worn is a look you don't mind then it's no big deal.

I can't speak for the longevity since it's a brand new item but over all I'm pleased with my purchase. If I do run into any problems I will be sure to add another review.

"So I'm not sure if this was just my model orvis is happen with anyone else. But shortly after I got my gun I took it out one day in the sea or on it broke figured I was probably just cuz it's a cheap material. After I got everything changed out with the right parts my gun would only fire fully automatic even though it's a semi automatic pistol. I do have a few good things to say about the gun, the build quality on it is amazing and it feels very very sturdy in your hand. The few things I have to say that the bad about the gun is that even with the Mac the gun came with it was having gas issues, the slide would occasionally get stuck even though nothing was wrong. I have teammates that use the ASG CZ po9 and I've used it a little bit I would honestly recommend getting that more than this

"Solid build. Bucking was completely destroyed when it came though so the BBs drop straight down. It's an okay gun but I recommend that you get something better like a CZ or a We tech.

"The gun worked awesomely for two months but then about a week ago the trigger stopped activating the hammer. This has made the gun stop firing.
by Jordan R. on 05/24/2018
"So I have to amend my previous review...

After a few months of gameplay, chunks of the slide have been breaking off. It's unfortunate that something this price is still made of the cheapest pot metal.

My real steel M&P45 was only $45 more than this GBB and is as solid as can be.

It's a bummer that EMG chose such terrible quality parts for the main construction of this GBB. I'll be surprised if I don't have to buy a new sidearm by the end of the summer.

"I got this gun about 3 - 4 months ago and I can tell you I only used it 3 or 4 times and the slider gets stuck after the 3th shot. Not happy with it at all, and the mag will drop out if the mag release button touches side of your gun holster.

Not going to write a big speech about it. If you buy this gun test it, and if it jams or the slider gets stuck. Just send it back and get your money back on it. Buy something else.
