More from my AirGun collection πŸ”«πŸ”«πŸ”«πŸ”«πŸ”«πŸ”«

The "May Two-Four" or "Victoria Day" long weekend is almost here, and the weather is perfect Co2 gun weather!

I started unpacking my large AirGun storage trunk yesterday, and took a few photos to help me decide on which handguns will get some shooting time over the next few days...

First is my Russian made, Anics Skif A3000 Co2 NBB semi-automatic .177cal/4.5mm pellet & BB pistol:


My Beeman P1 Magnum .22cal/5.5mm spring piston air pistol is definitely coming out for some soup can killing!



The Crosman GI-model 1911BB is a really nice looking full metal pistol that has good power blasting steel or lead BB's through metal soup cans!





Another slick looking full metal air pistol that is made in Turkey, my Ekol ES66...it's a reasonable replica of the Browning Hi-power 9mm, and it performs best with 4.5mm Gamo lead roundball ammo, and can shoot them well over 400 fps!



This next pistol is my STI Duty One Co2 NBB 4.5mm steel BB pistol that sends BB's out the muzzle around 380 fps.


The ASG STI Duty One has a metal recipricating slide, high quality polymer frame with excellent grips.
The trigger, hammer and internal parts are all metal.

This air pistol is a DA/SA or "double action/single action" pistol.
You can rack the slide or cock the hammer by hand to ready the pistol for firing. The trigger loads the round, and you can just pull the trigger for rapid double action firing on not unlike a double action revolver.



My newest revolver, the Crosman SNR357 will be coming out for some close range plinkingπŸ”«


I bought an extra six pellet shells, so now 12 shells can be pre-loaded at a time.


I will most definitely be gassing up my Walther PPQ M2 T4E .43 caliber Co2 pistol and blast a bunch of Riot-Ball ammo over the coming days....

I love this co2 pistol, and the .43 caliber PVC/nylon Riot-Ball ammo is amazing!!!

This is my oldest vintage air pistol, a Hawthorne Montgomery Ward M-150 .22 caliber pellet Co2 pistol which is a rebranded variant of Crosman's model 150.
The M-150 is a powerful Co2 pistol that shoots 14 grain lead pellets around 475 fps, and on a fresh Co2 cartridge there is some serious muzzle flip as the round and gas exits the barrel!

Umarex/H&K USP 4.5mm steel BB Co2 pistol.
This durable, all polymer with mostly metal on the inside air pistol has a full size magazine that works very well with H&N Smart Shot copper coated lead BB's

  1. can the ekol fit real hp grips? does the grip angle line up properly if you remove the rubber grips?
