APS XTP Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol (Color: Candy Apple Red / CO2)

"Bought this pistol 2 weeks ago and finally got to use it indoors. shoots extremely accurately and definitely leaves a sting and a mark. Trigger pull is very smooth and the sound made from cocking the slide back is very authentic to a true Glock. Would definitely recommend this pistol for beginner to average level players.

"The gun is great , i got it through the open mystery box deal , it has no leak and fires flawless but it might be cause its a store display

I recomend it to those looking for a good gun at a good price

Pros: looks
Hard kick
Consistant
Price
Feel
Cons : sort of feels cheepy
Mags dont look to good

"SHORT AND SWEET: This APS Gas BB Pistol itself is absolutely amazing, the blow back is great and with the mag in... it's heavy and feels absolutely realistic and looks the part aswell!

Con: Everything about its c02 System!
-mags leak
-brass breaks with any bit of strength
-is an absolute pain to refill the canister.

Overview: Great gun that feels amazing but was quickly ruined but its horrible mag design and lack of variety in mag choices.

Side Note: Both my brass pieces in my mags broke the 1st day from over tightening them, at that point i had no knowledge that it was that sensitive.... I know now.

"Ive had this gun for about 6-7 months now and I bought and extra mag with it so I had 3 magazines. but the gun overall is pretty good but not the best for Co2 because the mags leak alot and they dont last very long.

Pros:
-Hard Kick, probably the most kick on the market (could be a con)
-Night Sights, there not fiberoptic but they glow in the dark after youve been outside and go inside
-double stacked, 23rnds is awesome
-comes with an extra mag
-Co2
-easy to take apart
-trigger safety
-metal slide
-Its pretty heavy (could be a con)
-Locks back when its out
-it has a bottom rail
-Its pretty accurate with your hopup adjusted perfectly
-The closest looking gun to a glock on Evike
-Comes in a nice case
Cons:
-leaky mags
-1 Co2 cartrage lasts 1 and a half mags
-Mags are hard to load sometimes (depends on if your wearing gloves)
-cant fire to fast or it will run out of gas quicker
-Orange tip is hard to remove (buy a metal barrel without the tip)
-Its not threaded
-Hop up adjusting is difficult
-once a bb is in the chamber you cant get it out unless you poke it out

To be honest if you have the money to buy an ef 1911 or a Hi-capa, then dont buy this unless you like the kick of a gbb because the Co2 leakage and the ammount of Co2 permag isnt alot. This is an OK beginers gun but so is the ef1911. I would recomend this to those who only need there pistol as a sidearm and only in cases that your primary fails, dont use this as a primary. 4/5 stars just because I like it for the looks, capacity and kick.

"I bought this gun, and it was the most bad mothafin' pistol ever. It shot hard and soooo nice. What I yet to realize is APS is an extremely unreliable company. My gun broke during my first airsoft game. My local shop could not repair it so I had to send it to evike to fix it for like $40 to $50. I'm not saying don't buy this gun, just if you do buy it, be willing to drop another $50 to fix it when you buy it. I heard APS uses experimental internal pieces, So its a gamble, Also the mags aren't the greatest, I couldn't get a speed loader to load it even with the pistol mag adapter thing. I had to reload it by hand, which isn't to bad. My threads on one of the mags also go really messed up and I couldn't take it off or put it back on, i eventually got that fixed. Also, the biggest thing I don't understand, is how both my mags both went out at the same time/ in the same day both mags decided to just fail on me. My last problem with it, was the slide would get stuck about 2-3 cm back when it re chambered. It was annoying when I had to push the slide back forward because my gun won't rechamber on its own every so many rounds. Also my hop up would not work at all for the pistol, When the hop up wheel would finally spin it did nothing so that feature was completely pointless.
Now about the good things about it, The grip is really nice, it disassembles super easy, has a lower rail so you can put tacticool pistol attachments, shoots hard and nice when it decides it can shoot. CO2 lasts about 2 mags. Each mag holds plenty of rounds, and the sights aren't to bad.

Pros:
Really nice shooting
Good Kick
Comfy grip
Good trigger response

Cons:
Will most most likely break
Mags are trash
You might have to push the slide forward
APS isn't reliable

"I ordered this gun as my first sidearm and to me it inst that bad there are a few cons but to me it is good for if one or two people come up on you while reloading your Rifle.

Pros
comes with two magazines
co2
sturdy
comes in secure box
looks great
accurate

Cons
If you fire two fast gas output i lowed and slide can lock until you cock it again
no Allen wrench key slot for co2 mag so it is not as fast (to me)
non metal/threaded barrel

"This gun comes with 2 mags, a CO2 key, small pamphlet to introduce you to it, an "O" ring for the magazines if you need to replace one, some small sandpaper grip tape, and it comes in a very nice case. The pistol has some weight to it almost making it seem real. I can shoot 2.5 - 2.75 (Two and a half / Two and three quarters) of magazines before needing to change CO2's out. It holds like 22 rounds of ammo

4.5/5

"This is a great gun very sturdy with good internals, only problem is that 2 of the mags came broke, but overall an amazing gun with a great feel and amazing kick

"Love this pistol, the only bad thing is, be prepared to spend alot on c02, im only gettin a mag and half outa one cartridge, and if you dont load the mag just right (because it is a double stack mag) it will miss fire and you will have to cock it back to fire again, but other than that i havent had a pistol that is this accurate, or balanced, its pretty sick, i would recommend this gun to any body who has a savings account just for c02 lol

"This gun is good, but the magazine is a bit of. Mine came with a special coin for the big screw and the smaller one.
Its still hard to change the CO2 capsule, but once its in, it is a lot of fun

"This is a really great gbb (you got all the pros from the other reviews), but the only con I have is that the plastic gas nozzle will break.

At some point after some kinda heavy use the gun stopped feeding, and I thought it was a problem with the magazine for a long time and I have wasted several CO2 cartridges testing it over and over, until I decided to try cleaning out every nook and cranny of the gun (I thought maybe it was just dirty). That is when I took out the plastic gas nozzle and noticed a long crack going around almost the whole circumference of the cylinder with only a few millimeters to go, allowing me to easily split the thing open.

Word oughta get to APS that they need to make a better nozzle for this and stress-test it to make sure it can take heavy use such as rapid fire. In the battlefield, I don't have time to wait between shots to go easy on my gun. Getting rounds down range are my priority and the only thing I should have to worry about happening to my gun is running out of bbs.

In short: Awesome gun, but the gas nozzle is a weak piece of crap that just isn't tough enough for CO2.

"This gun is amazing. Works like a charm. But, the reason i gave it a 4 is because of the free mag. I shot a few loads through it and then it just quit working, but i still have another that works. I definitely recommend this pistol to anyone.

PROS
-fps
-range (just as far as my aeg)
-feel (heavy)
-hard kick for an airsoft gun

CONS
-mags

That is about it in the cons. Overall, i recommend to anyone looking to buy a good gbb pistol. But do yourself a favor and buy another mag.

"I got this gun and already it needs to be repaired. My firing pin (the metal that engages the co2 valve on the magazine) was made of aluminum and broke into three pieces. I only blame APS for this fault, I recommend buying a WE-Tech firing pin that one is steel $11. Note I haven't upgraded it yet but the pins look identical.

The gun itself is pretty amazing both looks and performance (before the pin broke), it has great accuracy, came with two mags, under $100, unbelievable distance for a handgun at around 330 FPS.

Pros
Co2 powered so its easy to find gas for a lot of people.
Blowback, nuff said.
Quite sturdy, doesn't wobble too much.
Has a great feel to it, very realistic feeling.
Has great range.
Came with two mags.
Barrel has inner threads to mount and adapter for a mock silencer.
Its $100 (when i got it).

Cons
Aluminum firing pin broke on me, I recommend replacing it with a steel one.
The wheel located in the firing pin assembly can catch the upper receiver, but was never a problem when shooting it.
Co2 is put in a different way than normal co2 pistols (upside down) and the screw will take getting use to.

Closing Thoughts: Its a very lovely gun, but I am a bit annoyed i have to replace something that shouldn't need to be replaced.

"It's a pretty good pistol and is pretty accurate but sometimes the slide gets locked in place but its a easy fix. Other then that it is a good pistol with some slight problems

"This is a great sidearm and I would recommend this to most people.

Pros:
Good FPS for indoors and outdoors
Metal Slide
Good safety placement(ambi)
Nice slide sound
Great accuracy
Good weight
Good magazine size

Cons:
Weird trigger mechanic
Hop up is hard to get to on the fly
One of the magazines broke
Weight is pretty much all in the mag
Hard to put in /take out CO2(need coin)

All in all this is a great sidearm
