5.0 out of 5 stars
Nice first CO2 gun
I bought this gun about 3 weeks ago, and I’m happy with it. Efective shooting distance is about 150 ft with full-filled CO2 cylinder, and the cylinder works fine for about 75…

no sight, take off rail,for better aimming,only if you are not planing to place a laser or scope,the top rail is what im taking about leave it off then you are ready to plink.

I personally love this air gun. This was my first true BB gun, but I own a .22, and I have fired various other pistols/rifles.
(.45, 9mm, 7mm, .308, .223, .50 BMG)
I wouldn't compare this with any of those, however, that background gives me an idea of what an air-gun should feel like.

Pros-
Good trigger, I love the "suddeness" of it, it reminds me of an M-1911...
I also like the heft of it, it is slightly heavier than other air-guns that I've handled.
Air Capacity is great, up to 70 shots in one canister.

Cons-
The size is COMPLETELY off a true Eagle. (of course... it is a BABY)
No blow-back... that threw me off, even my airsoft guns have blowback...
No mag-release... that barrell mounted mag is funky...
No-true saftey... that lever on the very back of the slide is the real saftey, I would have preffered that...

Over-all however, I love this thing, I highly recommend it.

LOOKS AND FEELS NICE, SHOOTS ERRATIC
I BOUGHT THIS GUN BASICALLY CUZ IT LOOKS AWESOME. THE BAD THING IS, ON MINE AT LEAST, IT SOMETIMES SHOOTS TWO BBS AT ONCE, OR THE TRIGGER GETS STUCK.

Of all the NON-blowback BB guns I’ve reviewed, I’ll put it in this order:
The Daisy 15XT, Crosman C-11 and the “Baby” last. Though they’re all within the same price range $40-45, the “Baby” has the worst trigger pull. The trigger is made of plastic which slide front to back, covering a metal lever (actual trigger) coming down from the top, thus like pulling 2 trigger at a time. The Daisy 15XT is the same, but much smoother. CO2 cover slide back like the C-11. No clip, manual loading-15 rds. I average 170 shots/CO2. Accuracy wise, as expected from a BB pistol, around 5″ grouping at 25′. Powerful 420 fps. It comes with attached bottom rail and UNattached top rail as an option to put on. Fixed rearsight, mine shoots about 2-2 1/2″ high @ 25′ (aiming at center of target the center of grouping would be about 2 1/2″ above.)
Looks cool, feels awsome. mgso
