Gamo PT-80 Air Pistol

 (17 customer reviews)

The PT-80 looks and feel like a real .380 semiauto pistol. The outside is mostly metal. I've read where other reviewers has problems with the CO2 leakage with their Gamo R-77's (4" revolver.) I bought a pack of CO2 "o"rings from the Gamo site, just incase. The first CO2 I put in loaded fine, then after the second shot leaked like it blew the seal. That was a waste. Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, I load another CO2, this time everything is ok. I was really dissappointed with the waste of CO2 with this gun. I got like 5 speedloaders worth of good velocity (40 shots,) after that it start dropping off fast. It's stated that it has a 4.25" rifled steel barrel, but the accuracy is really bad. At 25' this gun shoots all over my 5.5x5.5" cone trap, and miss the trap once it starts losing velocity. It's not my shooting either (see "all my reviews".) The trigger pull is long and hard. It suppose to be able to shoot single or double action. Forget single action, it's still a long...Read more

I bought this in a retail store. Looks great, fires great, but, and this is a big but... The whole story is contained in this email that I sent to the manufacturer, GAMO-USA;

The Email I sent to GAMO-USA:

I have a PT 80 CO2 pistol purchased from Big 5 about 3 years ago. I am unable to use this pistol because the O-ring that fits on the gas outlet is torn/defective. This is the O-ring just before the gas enters the rotary clip to launch the pellet.

This is the only thing that is wrong with this gun.

Can you please send me a couple dozen of these O-rings? I ask for that number because these things break every time after firing the pistol about 150 times or less. I know that they break because I had this problem on all 3 of the PT 80 pistols that I got from Big 5. This is an excellent pistol, with the exception of this O-ring problem. If you are not already doing it, I would suggest you keep a couple hundred of these O-rings available for...Read more

I bought this gun because it had good reviews from certain online air gun stores. It looks and feels good but the pellets get caught in the chamber. Maybe because they are plastic. It wouldn't turn enough and the pellet would hit the barrel before it was properly line up for a discharge. I took it back 3 times and they all had the same problem. The first one I had worked for the longest amount of time but the other 2 didn't work right out of the box. Not every pellet would get caught but 2-4 would be in the chamber after shooting 8 rounds. Also sometimes the chamber wouldn't even turn. I finally exchanged for a Walther cp-sport for $15 more and it is a much better gun for about the same price. The way the co2 cartridge is loaded and how the chamber(made of metal) is loaded is just more realistic. I have had no problems with the sport. Go with the sport.
