The best

[Phil Kennett]

Guys and girls, in terms of power and accuracy, which do you think is the best blowback pistol currently on the market in the UK. If I'm going to buy a new blowback pistol, I'd like the best one I can afford. Thanks everyone

My I ask what is a blowback pistol?

Thanks

Are you familiar with centrefire self loading pistols? Often called 'automatics', semi-auto etc.

Thanks to the convenient power source of a CO2 cartridge makers are able to design and produce a replica 'automatic' pistol where the CO2 cart. is mounted in the magazine along with BB's. When the pistol is fired a unit in the slide (the top part of the pistol within which the barrel is supported at the front, is 'blown-back by a unit in the slide which uses CO2 . The slide cocks the hammer and as it runs forward it loads a BB into the barrel ready for the next shot.

A lot of these pistols are very accurate replicas, even down to field stripping. Great fun and highly recommended!

You're welcome!

Take a look at the KWC Luger P 08-

Very impressive and field strips just like the original. If you do your bit it is pretty accurate.

Sadly no, just BB. Mind you at short range (I often use mine at 6yds for the UBC comps) it's perfectly acceptable.

Not sure if anyone makes a replica blowback magazine fed pellet pistol. Probably impossible at sensible cost. Be delighted to be proved wrong!

There are blow back pellet firing semi auto's around, Umarex have the Desert Eagle, Beretta PX4, Sig Sauer offer their P320 & P226. There are drawbacks to all of them, the Desert Eagle uses Umarex's ubiquitous 8 round magazines, The Beretta & P226 both use a double ended 8 round magazine, The P320 has a massive 30 round belt magaxzine. None of them lock back after the final pellet & all of them use the trigger to index the magazine.
