Beretta APX .177 Caliber BB Gun Air Pistol

After checking out the vast selection of air pistols, and then trying to decide if I wanted blowback or not, I decided on this Beretta APX to be my first purchase of what will likely become a good sized collection. I'm not interested in trying to kill anything, or having some false sense of personal safety, that's what real guns are for. What I want are lifelike replicas that add a little bit of fun to the mix by actually ejecting a projectile to plink targets and can be used to teach basic gun safety and how to aim and use sights correctly. The blowback feature just adds to the realism, though it wasn't really a necessity, I do like it as it also allows me an opportunity to teach my kids to hold the gun correctly and not have hands or fingers near the moving slide. The slide remaining open after the last shot is spent was a nice touch of realism as well. Definitely 5 stars on the design aspect as it is set up, weighted, and pretty much works as a real Beretta APX handgun would. The slide seems a bit loose, but this is a 60-70 dollar bb gun, not a 6-7 hundred dollar handgun. If expectations are kept in the realm of reasonability, this is a great buy for sure. It shoots pretty good, and lasts a few full magazines on one 12g CO2 cartridge. The sights can be adjusted the same as on a real handgun, and the picatinny rail on bottom allows for mounting a laser sight, tactical light, or both. I haven't had any issues whatsoever, so 5 stars there too. I bought a cheap, but durable universal drop leg holster and it fits perfectly just like the real APX. My only regret is that I didn't order extra magazines, but I just put in an order for 2 more to remedy that, as it does take a bit of patience to load the 20 bbs, but with extra mags someone can be shooting while someone loads up a fresh one. Since my luck has been so good with this one, I can hardly wait to buy another. I'll definitely be sticking with Umarex as long as I keep getting quality products for a decent price. I think a cool rifle will likely be my next purchase. As I said before, these are a great teaching tool for inexperienced people or kids interested in possibly owning and shooting firearms, or just for a little backyard fun to pass the time. If you're looking for home defense or the like, this will likely only get you shot by someone with a real gun. Keep expectations realistic, and you can't go wrong with this affordable blowback bb pistol.

Its awesome! It shoots hard and co2 pressure lasts long. Definitely recommend 💯

Nice shooter. Alot more power than I thought. Really a beast of a bb gun.

This is a fun gun! The weight feels so much like the real thing! I'm only giving it a 4 star rating though because the slide is lifted up on the left side of the gun a little!

Feels high quality. Has a nice realistic weight to it. The slide is a little loose and makes a metal clacking sound, I personally like it. Slide does not serve any function in shooting bb's. You can get 3-4 20 round mags before the co2 is weak. Not the most accurate as expected because of smooth bore barrel and round bb's. It shoots through soft materials, will bounce if you shoot at a plastic water bottle. It is fairly loud up close.Overall it's worth the price, you definitely won't be winning any contests with this thing but it is a fun plinker.

Amazing build quality. Weight is good once you have a CO2 capsule inside. Great slide with no issues.

One of the best cheap air guns amazing power

Pistol is well made as expected being the manufacturer is beretta. But my son is so disappointed after being so impressed after using it about 5-7 times the gun/trigger began to malfunction. After putting in the CO2 cartridge the trigger began to malfunction, and when trigger was pulled to fire it would not shoot when pulled yet when it was let go it would fire. Which makes it very dangerous as any one who’s familiar with firearms regardless if only BB gun or a real firearm the dangers are still the same and can turn into an extremely serious situation really quick. I’m thinking the pistol possibly had some type of defect.
