APS XTP Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol (Color: Desert / CO2)

"I've had mine for close to half a year now and i'm still giddy with how amazing this gun is! Solid and reliable sidearm that is very accurate and hits hard. Only concern is the complicated magazine/co2 loading and that the blowback makes this thing DEVOUR co2 like no tomorrow. 1-2 mags per cartridge, and the magazines are not cooperative with speed loaders. 5 Star gun, but the magazine needs a lot of tuning.

"Amazing pistol shoots hard and hurts definitily buy again.

"APS ACP

After purchasing this pistol and using it extensively over the past year, I can truthfully say that it is worth the investment. I have shot other G series styled pistols and this one is truly unique.

I have conducted the following test with my APS ACP

- if co2 is inserted properly, the gun will fire and average of two magazine's (46 rounds) worth of good shots with the slide locking back, given time in between shots.

- if co2 is inserted properly, the gun will fire an average of one magazine's (23 rounds) worth of good shots with slide locking back if fired as fast as possible with no time in between shots.

- testing in a combat situation I found that the gun fired a little over 1 mag's worth of good shots with slide locking back. (23 - 30 rounds)

- I have found through personal experience that using Crossman co2 worked much better than Umarex co2. I believe that this is because Crossman does not come with and lubricants in the Co2.

- the accuracy of the pistol was average with hop up adjusted

TIPS

- lubricate o rings an all moving parts before use

- be carful because the magazine plate likes to slide off easily after heavy use

- mine crono-ed in at a respectable 300 - 320 fps

- after breaking in the pistol is able to be power stoked.

CONCLUSION

- after owning this gun for quite some time I have ordered a second one. This says a lot about the efficiency of the gun because I did not try something new for I am satisfied.

- for the price this is an absolute steal! Buy it while it's in stock!

"Just got this Beast after four months of waiting and I have to say that I'm impressed. Not for the huge delay of course, but for this gun. I ordered this December 17th and got it April 23rd. Anyways this gun shoots AMAZINGLY! I haven't had any missfeeds or any troubles yet. I have to say though that the mags are a pain to get the CO2 and the bbs in. Just watch a YouTube video on how to put in the CO2. But the bbs on the other hand have to be manually put in, Speedloaders won't work. So if you are in battle without extra mags, you are going to have trouble putting in 24 rounds. So I suggest getting another mag, so you will have three total since the gun comes with two. I also took off the orange tip by putting electrical tap around it and using pliers and twisted counterclockwise. Sadly there is still orange inside of it but you can't see it unless I point it at you, but if it comes to that you would be dead. I have to say that this gun is amazing! It is worth buying! The thing that I didn't get that you need to get though is a lanyard. There is a hole in the bottom of the gun behind where the mag fits that will fit a lanyard. I didn't get one because I didn't know. So if you are buying this gun, and I recommend that you do, get the holster that should be on the right of your screen when you are looking at the gun, a lanyard, another mag, and CO2 obviously. Before I go, there is one thing with the holster. The gun itself to comes with two of these little "grips" they feel like house shingles that go on the roof. I put mine in front of the "barrel releaser buttons" and the gun is a tight fit in the holster. I guess that I will have to get them worn in before they are fine to pull out. Last thing, PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET THIS GUN!!

"I bought this gun in mid March and i waited for just under a month for it to come in stock, and can i just say this, IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT, This gun is solid high grade polymer, with a Metal Slide. I recommend the Matrix Hard Shell holster, i would also recommend you buy Silicon Spray with this gun if you dont already have some.

"I bought this pistol back in october and there was quite a waiting list on it. However out of the box I was amazed by its solid construction and hard kick. I also purchased the matrix holster for it, which work great together. My only issue is that it is a bit of a gas hog. Other than that fantastic sidearm, I highley recommend it. 5 stars

"I have two of these pistols, both of which came from the boneyard with faulty gas nozzles. The first being not included and the second a 1st generation nozzle (red) which happily wasted several CO2 cartridges before I finally figured out it wasn't the magazine causing the issue. Second generation gas nozzles (green) are better made in my opinion with better gas flow. Both guns kick like mules and give two full 25+1 magazines before consuming all fireable gas. Near the end of a CO2 cartridge, the gun will not cycle all the way providing a ultra quite side arm that must be racked each time. This typically happens to me on the 3rd reload of a magazine about one third into the magazine. As for the lower receiver, it's all one piece with good texturing and conformity to the hand. The slide is metal and of good quality. The precision barrel aids in the accuracy of the gun which I found to quite consistent. Basically pull the slid off the gun, pull of the guide rod, then the barrel. Next the gas nozzle housing and rear sight comes out by unscrewing a phillips head screw. From there, the nozzle housing and nozzle itself can be removed leaving nothing but the slide. Very easy gun to work on, maintain, and clean. As for factory lube I have no comment for both my guns were purchased from the boneyard although I've heard several youtubers remark that it was a little heavy, silicon oil, or (if you're poor like me), chain lubricant for bicycles will do nicely. The smoother the action is the better. The first pistol I received would sometimes return only halfway after firing, lube fixed the issue though. I'd recommend not dropping the magazines on the ground as the plastic end cap will be forced to slip off as a result of the angle they attach. Crossman CO2 cartridges (tend to be slightly larger than most) fit in all the magazines I have received, even with the first generation mag base cap that has a screw located on the inside next to the puncturing pin. Second generation mag bases have a sort of metal ring around the pin to aid in puncturing the CO2. Careful not to back the silver inner piece out too far of the mag base as the ring around the pin will break however the magazine should still have a good seal and not affect the functionality (guess how I learned that one :P). Magazines are pricey at about 21$+ although for good reason. The magazine accounts for nearly half the weight in the gun balancing the unit quite nicely. Overall APS has made a solid, accurate, fairly inexpensive not-a-glock which I would definitely buy a third. The manufactures website APS conception carries all the individual parts needed for repair of the ACP lineup and sell the gun at 85 U.S. dollars, however if you purchase at evike it ships within the U.S. of A. instead of overseas. Plus you get an extra magazine with free shipping qualification on the order. This gun is a steal, highly cost effective.

"PROS:
looks sweet
great range
awesome fps 340-360
hard kick
2 mags until out of co2

CONS:
hard to load co2 in but gets easy after you do it once

I recommend this pistol for beginners and pros

"The ACP has a good weight and grip to it, both with and without the magazine. It's just solid. The recoil is fantastic and the strip-down for cleaning and lubricating is simple.

Plus, this version of the ACP has a number of upgrades from the last version. First, it fits just about every CO2 cartridge so you don't have to dig around for a certain type. Second, the barrel is now metal versus the original plastic. Third, the new stabilizer keeps the recoil and your groupings consistent throughout the magazine.

The magazines use an inverted CO2 system that saves you from leaking CO2. Expect around two magazines for each CO2 cartridge - not bad for a GBB. However, magazines are difficult to load, both hand loading or with a speed loader. Also, magazines don't have any protection against drops so be careful!

If you are in the market for a solid replica Glock, then grab an APS ACP.

"the APS is used for training purposes and has performed flawlessly, several team members have purchased same model and will be purchasing one for my son as well. Will continue to purchase items in the future.

"pro it shots great

easy to take apart and clean and greeze up

has a great blow back kick

its co2 but shots under 330 fps

its come with 2 mags soo 50 rounds campart to most only have 17 shots

my only con is that ugly orange tip is a pain in the ass get off

"I got this gun in the mail yesterday, everything about it is awesome. when i used the .25g bbs it fired a little high but i didn't bother adjusting the hop up yet. I wanted to try my .36 bbs, and i must say, i can hit what i aim for while quick drawing from half an acre away with no problem. this is by far my best handgun.

"I just got this pistol in the mail today and i'm pretty satisfied with it. Before I was running with either a WE 1911 GBB that used the terrible green gas,the mags for it leaked all the time,or I was running with my Dan Wesson 6" Revovler,which was powered by dependable CO2 but only had 6 shots. This pistol even though its not fully made of metal is as sturdy as a rock.

Pros:
-Instant response when firing
-Holds a reasonable amount of rounds
-Doesn't leak (yet if ever)
-Looks slick
-Decent amount of range

Cons-
-The part that chambers each BB is clear plastic,i'd want it to be metal just to be safe than sorry
-The mags barely fit into my pistol mag pouches because they're so fat but it's no big deal
-The tip is a pain to take off but the pistol comes with an threading adapter in case you want to attach a suppressor

5/5,definately get it if you want a reliable sidearm.

"Dont worry about any other reviews cause this products should be for any glock or pistol enthusiasts. This is such a good quality gun. Everyone be hatin the orange side but you can buy a black slide. Everyone be hating the paint and stuff. It doesnt chip any paint! GET THIS GUN IF YOU WANT A GLOCK BUT YOU DONT WANT TO PAY FOR THE GAS AND STUFF

"Ordered this gun and it arrived yesterday I tried it out and the thing slaps I broke one of the mags when I first got it because nothing there tells you how to install the CO2 cartridge and I used an actual screwdriver which destroyed the metal part of the gas cap altogether this is a good gun but the magazines could be a lot better
