Hi gilo
I have just read your post. I own an Anics 3003. They are basically an updated version of the Skiff 3000. Just the metal casing is different. As far as the pistols go. They are quite powerful. I bought my one from a fella off this site and prior to my ownership of this pistol. He did a few tweaks to it. He lightened the trigger and slightly increased the velocity. I tested it against Umarex CP88 and CP99 and it was more powerful than those. The trigger unmodified is as stiff as hell and the gun is very noisey. The Skiff A3000 is much more quieter in operation. Anics are renouned for the magazines jamming. But if you use the correct pellets which are the shorter length ones, Bisley Bullets, BSA Storm etc. Use will minimize jamming. Other than that. I'm very happy with Blackbird and will never part with it. They are not as common as the A3000 or A9000s. If you can get one these days.Then you are lucky.
