Equipped with an innovative Blowback feature, the PT-85 CO2-powered air pistol delivers a realistic action and an authentic look and feel when shooting. The Blowback pistol accomplishes this by using a small portion of air to move the slide backward when firing. As a result, you'll feel like you're shooting the real thing. The PT-85 also includes a rifled steel barrel, a textured grip, and a 16-pellet double magazine. The pistol is capable of shooting at velocities of up to 450 feet per second with Gamo PBA platinum pellets.
Only standard-skirt pellets should be used with PT-85 Blowback pistols. To avoid damaging the magazine, never use long-skirt pellets, such as Red Fire, Blue Flame, Glow Fire, PBA Bullet, or TS-10.

- Velocity: Up to 450 fps

Gamo PT-85,

I want to first point out that THIS PISTOL IS NOT A TOY by any means. It's an adult air pistol and shoots 450 fps with GAMO PBA alloy pellets (though I wouldn't recommend shooting these if you want consistent accuracy#. I stress this because recently in my area a guy pulled an air pistol on an officer, needless to say the guy who pulled the pistol is no longer with us. NEVER carry something like this in public or in your car and never at a police officer. Some states or areas or states even prohibit air guns so check your local laws before you order. With that out the way.....
This gun feels and looks like the real deal. If I was compare it to a "real gun" I would say it's very similar to the Sig or Springfield .45 in aesthetics only. From barrel to butt end it's 7.75". The barrel is rifled #which helps with it's accuracy# and is 4.49". It does have a metal slide and can be fired in single or double action, which I particularly like. The safety can be a little bit...Read more

I own this as well as the H&K USP pistol. I recently purchased both. I also have several pellet Rifles and have been an enthusiest for about 30 years. This is THE funnest Air Gun I've ever owned. The H&K is garbage compared to this beauty. The first time I shot it (abuot an hour ago), I was shocked at how realistic it is. I can see how this could be used as a training weapon as some reviews have stated. The blowback is awesome. I've been through about 8 clips (16 rounds per clip) so far and the C02 is still strong. I'm getting good 1" groups at 30 ft. I haven't tried anything further yet. The gun is mostly metal. It feels very weighty in your hand close to a real one. Make no mistake, this is areal gun. It just uses air instead of gun powder to propel the projectiles. If I had to find one negative, it would be the safety. It's hard to turn it off. It took me two hands to disable it. Maybe that's not really a negative though. There's a reason they call it a safety...Read more

Purchased to train muscle memory for draw, stance, grip, target acquisition to augment live fire and dry fire exercises. Weight is realistic and blowback is added plus. Not near the blowback of any of my carry pistols, but added training value IMHO. Yes, blowback feature limits CO2 cartidge life, but that is expected. Get the PT-80 if that's not important. Reasonably accurate up to 50 feet with full cartidge. I would purchase again.
