Matrix Elite M9 Gas Blowback Airsoft GBB Pistol (Color: Silver / Full Metal)

"I bought the Plastic version my brother bought the metal

I would recommend spending a little extra on the metal, plastic version isn't terrible, but you get what you pay for. Mine took a little tinkering to get running. It did develop two small cracks on the back of the slide but they don't seem to effect it's performance.

The metal version is constructed much better and has an adjustable hop up

"It works very well with the included magazine, though I had two of the Silver / Green Gas WE M9 magazines, which this claims to be compatible with, and neither worked with it at all, instead ejecting the bbs out of the top with those magazines. Those magazines also did not seem to cause as much recoil in this airsoft gun, although being similar to the included magazine.

"Worked great for a year or so until the part that holds the mag in broke. Otherwise a great gun for the price.

"This was my first blowback gun, and I haven't taken it out to many games - but I've shot it plenty, and largely enjoyed my experience with this Beretta.

I'd been interested in them for some time, even considered getting a real one, so I had fairly high expectations going in, I think. I got the black full metal version on sale, and I can say that I enjoyed what I got. While I do have a gripe or two - for example, setting the gun to safe doesn't decock the hammer like a real Beretta 92/96/M9 - it performed solidly, was easy to take apart, and easy to put back together.

So far in the month or so I've had it, it's let me down once - and that was when I took it to a game and I think one of the springs in my gas nozzle failed. Initially, I thought it was having trouble cycling .20 gram BBs, but now I'm certain that it's a nozzle problem.

For the price compared to other GBB handguns I've seen, and my experience with it - I'd say it's a 4/5.
Not quite as accurate to the Beretta as I'd like, and performed quite solidly for a good price, until it didn't.
For the money I sunk into this, I could get a decent spring-powered shotgun - but that wouldn't be as fun, now would it?

"FYI, first thing i did was tear this thing down COMPLETELY and take a good look at everything. Here is my take on this one.


Reasons for only getting 4 stars:

Metal seems less than durable, and the finish is odd. (matt and slightly rough).

Not 100% TM compatable. Slide did not fit on either a known set of TM compatible frame rails or a set of genuine TM rails. The piston "housing" (its basically just a plate) assembles slightly differently.

Inner barrel is very thin, (and painted/coated black aluminium?) It works well enough though.

Reasons it got 4 stars:

Fittment was acceptable. Everything funtioned properly.

Adjustable hop up, that works well (all my old TM ones are static hop up)

There is TM crossover to allow you to maintain/upgrade. (Everything in the lower looks 100% TM)

Just a quick once over, and stronger recoil/hammer springs, and this thing hucks .32g's a decent distance. Its a solid piece for the price. If you know the TM M9 platform you know its a fairly reliable workhorse that with a little tweaking can be made to run strong.

"Good gun but gas runs out after like 3/4 of a clip. We are gonna try a different gas to see if it will shoot a full clip.

"This is a great pistol. It is full metal and it never fails to cycle. It fires the entire mag with the same power. It is also accurate at 30 feet. Unfortunately I had to return it once due to the safety mechanism falling apart. Customer service helped as always.

"Definitely not the combat machine pistol equivalent but still a pretty neato pistol, disassembly is easy and quick same as other pistols, weight is good even not with the full metal version, very few stoppages, green gas consumption is a little high tho, also this pistol is really frickin loud, I don't know if there is something I need to lubricate or something but this thing consistently leaves my ears ringing ever so slightly. Other than that I would recommend this if your
Just looking for a cheap reliable m9 that will do just fine in fields/ arenas
Pros
Feels beefy, good weight, satisfactory manipulation, good fps, will work with regular green gas mags
Cons
Goes through gas quickly, mag sometimes doesn't feed properly if not given support from the bottom

"Ive had this gun for about a year now. Its unusable at the moment due to the poor mag that is included. Other than that it is a solid heavy gun with a smaller amount of kick than other gbb.

Pros
Heavy
orange tip fell off of mine (can be a con)
paint chips (can be a con)

Cons
bad mag
Orange tip fell off (can be pro)
paint chips (can be pro)

overall for the price its a great gun.

"This pistol is great for $80.
It's pretty heavy. weighs in like about 2-3 pounds, more on the 3 side.
it works great, has a good kick, nice feel. Orange tip is glued on to the barrel. Pretty Loud.

Pros: Heavy weight
Nice blowback action
Looks real
Sights
Nice kick

Cons: Paint chips really easy
Gets a used look after a while (might pro for some who like that)
(had to think pretty hard for the cons even though its only 2)

Overall: Great gun. I would buy another one just to duel wield it.

"I bought this gun about, a few months ago. It was good for the price, but it tends to have many problems. Great gun for practice.

"This is one of my first reviews, but i must say, AMAZING!

Pros
-Real Feel
-Full metal, basically you can buy a low quality marui M9, spend a ton of money on reinforcement parts, maybe double the price of this, and come out with the same product.
-Blowback XD
-Reliable
-Easy to maintain

Cons
-My magazine seems to have a rattling noise, and it wobbles a little bit.
-Paint chips easily.
Thats all i can really think of right now, but all in all, if you have 90 bucks, get this.

"Overall i am very pleased with this weapon. For not having hop-up, it is very accurate. It hass pretty good power, cronographed at 320 fps using .20's. It is a bit heavier than most hand guns, about twice as heavy as my buddies WE 1911, but it feels solid.

My only complaints are that the mag wobbles a little, not a big deal.
And that (this might just be mine) When it is running low on gas, it fires fully automaticly at reduced performance.

"i love the gun but i have to give it 4stars because it looks more gray when it should be black

"I have used this pistol as my backup since I first started playing 3 years ago. The build quality is excellent. The full metal design is great. It has a nice kick to it and can put some rounds down range rather quickly. The range is average for a pistol, depending on the weight of BB you use. Accuracy is decent, but could be better
