Just got one of these from Wal-mart. First thing I noticed was the safety is extremely flimsy. I just don't like it. It seems like you just have to turn it wrong and the safety will fall off. I think it's a hazard so I will keep this one unloaded till right before I use it, unlike my C-11, which I leave the clip full the entire time for birds, squirrels and such. I know I won't hit these animals with it, but I know it will scare them away. It does shoot nice though.

The trigger is nice and smooth with no noticeable roughness. The BBs feed well from the magazine that runs parallel with the barrel, and it's easy to load. It's reasonably accurate even though it's a smoothbore, and it's BB only.

It knocks down pop cans with no problem. I can hit them from 5 meters all day long. It has a good shape of the grips for my hand which is larger than most. I also like the fact that the handle doesn't completely come off, it just slides back enough to get the cartridges in and out. One thing less you have to worry about dropping.

Wal-mart has this cheaper than pyramyd air at 35 dollars with no shipping costs with pyramyd wanting 45. It's not as good of a deal, that's for sure. I'm not as sure it's worth 45 plus shipping. It also fits quite nicely in the inexpensive holsters that Wal-mart carries.

All in all, I like this pistol. It could be heavier, and the top weaver rail is pretty much useless, but that's just for cool factor anyway. I'd never mount anything on top of the rail except a scope and this pistol is more than accurate enough with the iron sights to not need to worry about it. It also doesn't have the range needed for a scope to be worthwhile, with it being rated at 410 fps.

In my opinion it's a nice inexpensive pistol with the coolness definitely being there. You can hang a ton of gadgets on it with the top weaver rail and the one hanging under the barrel that's built in, but personally I see no need. Just another pistol to have fun with!

EDIT: It gets about 40 shots per cartridge so far. It drops off pretty quickly after the cartridge runs out. It didn't get any BBs stuck either. They just rolled out. It's also breaking in quite nicely. The trigger is smoothing out even more. I'll report more on it when it gets broken in more.

Nice pick up! It does look pretty cool on the website. Got any pics of it?
