    Yes I put a couple of dozen pellets through one on Saturday at B.A.R, great fun and surprisingly pokey as well, it feels very solid with excellent rattle free build

    Generally I dislike anything Co2 but I quite fancy one of these

    I also had a good go of the new Glock 17 blowback which has probably the worst trigger I have ever pulled, truly dreadful

    Interesting, it looks a bit plasticky in the pictures so its good to know its not in real life.

    I shot a 9mm Glock at a commecial shooting range in Helsinki a couple of years ago, and it had a awful trigger, so maybe Umarex have been a bit too faithful to the original ...

    Protek had them at Kempton yesterday.

    Seemed well made, but big and a bit complicated to operate.
    They also showed it as a carbine for those who like that sort of thing.

    They had the new Nemisis as well which seemed a bit fat to me.
    Good price for what it is I think.

    Not usually a fan of Co2 rifles....... however I quite like the idea of one of these carbines they look like good fun.

    I can’t see any mention or picture of a rear sight fitted to the carbine version and yet there’s a front sight fitted

    Obviously in pistol format I can see there’s a rear sight but in carbine version it’s either pictured with a scope fitted or just mounts fitted....hmmm

    Anyone know if the carbine version comes with a full open sight setup?

    Does anyone actually own one yet and if so can they add any feedback good or bad

    had a play with a friends.. mags are weird and fiddy, and it seems expensive for a toy. balance is weird too, cos its a shoulder stocked pistol i guess. i wanted to like it, but didn't really...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
