Ying & Yang : Walther PPQ: M2 T4E .43 cal. Co2 pistol & Tactical FDE .24cal/6mm spring piston Airsoft pistol

Air Venturi/ISSC M22 GBB .177 cal/4.5mm Replica Air Pistol

A few years ago I saw this Co2 pistol in a shotshow preview video and as soon as Pyramydair was taking pre-orders, I ordered mine!

The .22LR ISSC M22 is a popular semi-automatic pistol that is made in Austria, and resembles a compact Glock, except one that is hammer fired.

The .177 caliber steel BB version is a wonderfully compact Co2 pistol, that packs a punch, has a loud disharge sound, and strong blowback.
It has a solid polymer frame and metal slide, metal hammer, metal trigger and magazine, as well as the slide stop/release.
The sights are glock-like, and the rear is adjustable for windage.
The average muzzle velocity that I recorded has always been around 430 fps, and the pistol is rated by the manufacturer at 400 fps.

This co2 & ammo, all metal, full size, drop-free magazine system is a quality unit, that is used in other excellent replica AirGuns, like the H&K VP9 and Grand Power X-Caliber .
I have two magazines, so if one is out for repair, I still have a working co2 pistol!

This is the first  version of the .22LR M22, which has the Glock influenced trigger guard.

The second version, which the air pistol is based on, had a rounded edge on the trigger guard.

The next four pictures are of my M22 Co2 BB pistol🔫

The only part of this replica Co2 pistol that I dislike is the bright white WARNING text on the right side of the slide.
I used a gun bluing marker to darken the text after these pictures were taken.
Hogue's Glock rubber grip sleeve fits the ISSC M22 perfectly, and the finger grooves really add to the shooting experience.

I have owned my M22 since Air_Venturi/Pyramydair first took pre-orders for them after the Vegas  shotshow about 4 or 5 years ago.
It is still one of the most treasured airguns in my collection, and I expect to never part with it, which is how I feel about my Beeman P1 .22 cal. Magnum and my Hawthorne Montgomery Ward M150, which says alot for this ISSC M22 🔫

Crosman Stinger R34 Spring Piston 6mm M4 Replica Airsoft Gun

I bought my Crosman Stinger R34 Spring Piston Airsoft Gun fom pyramydair dot com in 2012. It was the clear model and it was less than $50 CDN.
The Stinger R34 comes with a thin nylon 2 point shoulder sling, a faux reflex dot sight that is actually a clear plastic window with cross hairs printed in the middle of the window. It is adjustable for horizonal settings but not vertical.
I would definitely toss the faux optic.
The non-adjustable iron sights replicate the look of the A2 front sight and the rear sight has two apurtures, both with the same sized peep hole, but one is taller than the other, which is a clever workaround for not having adjustability, at least you can switch peeps to raise or lower your shot.
The functioning charging handle cocks the action and compresses the mainspring

I  shoot paper targets in my living room with paper targets & acardboard box stuffed with old jeans as a BB trap with lower powered softair BB guns and pistols.
My Stinger R34 is the fastest shooting of all my spring airsoft pistols and long guns.
My other "long gun" is a Umarex Trophy Hunter Pump Action BB Shotgun that shoots .12 gram BB's around 200 fps.
The M4/XM177 replica Stinger R34 can shoot .20 gram BB's harder than the Trophy Hunter, and it has a metal barrel, so I would consider it to be the superior airsoft long gun.

I have upgraded my R34 with a few coats of Krylon Fusion "for plastic" black paint, minimalist tactical butt stock and a picatinny/Weaver rail mounted on the top of the carry handle so I can attach a variety of reflex dot sights or scopes.

Spring Piston Gel-Blaster Pistol

This is an all plastic, spring piston powered air pistol that is chambered for caliber: 7-8mm ( more or less 7-8mm 🔫)  water saturated "Gel balls"...

A few months ago I came across this $20 "Gel-Blaster" spring air pistol on Amazon and I couldn't resist buying one.
It looks to be a rather accurate replica of the Ruger P85 mkII, or maybe a Chinese copy of the Tokyo Marui replica of the Ruger P85 mkII 🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫

Russian Made AirGuns...

I have a soft spot for IZH-Baikal Airguns.

I am completely obsessed over the Baikal MP-656/Tokarev TT-33, but here in Canada, if you come across one for sale, it will cost $900-$1000 CDN!!!!

The Baikal MP-654 is the famous Co2 Makarov pistol, and it is widely available in Canada, and will cost around $450-500 CDN to buy one new from a retail surplus store.

I am glad that Baikal also makes other unique AIRGUNS, like the MP-651K, which comes in three variations that are pictured below:

The MP-651K has a unique magazine system, which combines a built in spring fed roundball magazine above and parallel to the barrel, and a pair of  8 round rotary magazines, one for roundball ammo, and one for pellet ammo.

The next three photos are of my own IZH-BAIKAL MP-651k which I purchased directly from Baikal-Canada in Toronto, Ontario about 5 years ago.
I may have received one of the last MP-651k's they had in stock, because the next time I checked out the Baikal-Canada online store, they were sold out...

My other Russian made Co2 pistol is a ANICS skif-A3000.
I purchased it from Mr.Marvin at the Kitchener Gun Show 3 or 4 years ago.
These are quite rare, and built almost as tough as a real steel pistol.
I think that it looks to be based on the Walther P-22 semi-automatic .22LR pistol.
Lead pellets need to be resized slightly to fit in the magazine, but steel BB's fit nicely, so I generally only shoot Hornady Black Diamond steel BB's with my Anics Skif-A-3000 because they are the easiest ammo to reload into the 28-round belt fed magazine, plus there are never issues like failures to load, like with some lead pellets, or gamo lead roundball.

New "tactical" black AirGun case for my Air Venturi HellBoy M4, with new foregrip!

 I buy a lot of my shooting gear on Amazon and eBay, and this case was $48 on Amazon and it arrived the day after I ordered it!
There is a second pocket on the front that unzips and has a Velcro loop for storing a second carbine or breakdown rifle, like a Crosman P1322 multi-pump pneumatic pistol with a shoulder stock!
Other pockets and pouches of varying sizes are large enough to hold my two HellBoy M4 magazines, tools, oil, rags,  manuals, ammo, Co2 and whatever else might be needed.

This angled foregrip cost $10 from an eBay seller name "cool-girl2014" in Shanghai, China.
It is the first of a few upgrades I ordered for my HellBoy M4 and it was easy to securely mount on the length of picatinny rail on the underside of the handguard.
I am still waiting for an aluminum alloy  6.7" carbine quad rail handguard, and a MTR style shoulder stock to arrive.



UPDATE: aluminum alloy 6.7" quad rail handguard arrived today.
It really modernizes my HellBoy M4!

Walther Arms & 007's LP-53

Even though 007, James Bond carried a Walther PPK at this time, he appeared in this press photo and illustrated movie poster brandishing a Walther LP-53, a .177 caliber pellet  break barrel spring piston target pistol.

The LP-53's appearance was based on the Nazi-Era   Walther M1936 Olympia .22LR Semi-Automatic Target Pistol.

The "Luft-Pistole 53" certainly does look like the famous Olympia M1936!

The Walther LP-53 had a Polish made clone by the name of "Predom Lucznik" , which sometimes pops up for sale on the Canadian collectable AirGun websites, and it is much  more affordable and more powerful  than when someone is selling a Walther LP-53.
I regret not buying a "Predom-Lucznik" from Mr.Marvin "the AirGun Guy" five or six years ago, instead I basically flipped aacoin to decide, and I  bough a near mint condition, very rare variant of the Crosman model 150 .22 cal. Co2 pellet pistol...a Hawthorne Montgomery Ward M-150, which was a smarter choice, because it is a 60+ year old brand new, very powerful, and very collectable Co2 pistol that has probably appreciated in value during the six years that I have owned it.
Regardless, I still wish I had the spare cash to have bought both air pistols the one and only time that I have seen either one for sale in Canada.

Below is a few photos of the Predom-Lucznik .177cal/4.5mm spring piston air pistol that was made during the 1970's.
