Gamo P-25 Blowback Pellet Pistol

 (3 customer reviews)

I have had my fair share of experience with many different air gun brands, and I still believe Gamo makes the highest quality products out there. This pistol is no exception.

Shoots accurate, good solid design, blowback is awesome for realism. Great for cheap indoor/outdoor target practice (instead of going to range with firearm..) Gun still feels and reacts like a 22 pistol, without the sound.

CO2 life is what is to be expected. First 20 shots destroy. next 20 still ~400-450 fps. After 40, slowly ramps off. There is a noticeable difference in velocity when using the platinum pellets, but they don't seem to do as much impact damage. I recommend the gamo red fire pellets for that.

Great for practice, varmint control, whatever. Just remember this is not a toy, it is to be treated like a firearm.

If you're between this gun and another, stick with gamo. Either go with the pt-85 (same gun really..), or this one.

This gun is well constructed, and the blowback feature is a neat novelty, but unfortunately I do not recommend it for target shooting. On a fresh CO2 you get great power and decent accuracy for the first 20-30 shots, however it goes down hill from there. I'm not sure if the blowback feature plays any role in that or if it's just par for the course for CO2 pistols. Regardless, I ended up returning it since it didn't work well for my purposes.

I cannot tell a lie, I like this gimmicky pistol. Yes it loses accuracy at 20 feet because of the awful blowback and yes it eats up co2. Still I'd like to tell you what I use it for and don't mind said "inadequacies." I live on about 2 acres with a swamp on a side and a field on the other. Growing beans and peppers every year as well as feeding bluebirds, chicers, orioles,and those awful bluejays you're bound to pick up varmint.

When you were clearing the field did your head shot put that poor critter in pain? Advance, this is a good fun for that.
