Best BB Air Pistols of 2025

“I find this air pistol works great and has plenty of power for an air gun. It looks and feels just like the real Glock 19. My only minor issue is with the safety button on the trigger; it’s a bit annoying for my trigger finger, but it's not a big deal.”

“The detail and quality of this gun are impressive. It shoots extremely fast and powerful, and feels just like my Glock 19. I highly recommend it for training purposes, and it even fits in my Glock 19 holster! If you're a Glock fan, this is the best BB gun available.”

“I ordered a cheaper air pistol that failed quickly, but then I got this one, and it’s fantastic. The likeness, weight, and accuracy are all spot on. It's a quality product, and I highly recommend it without hesitation.”

"I found the BB gun's quality impressive and it looks very real. It even came with targets which was a nice bonus!"

"As a parent, I was thrilled that this BB gun was perfect for my son, who is 9 and very sensitive to noise. It's the ideal size, sound, and grip for him. I never expected him to enjoy it this much, but he shoots every day and it’s helping with his eye and hand coordination. Both my son and daughter love it!"

"When I first bought this, I was a bit skeptical due to the low price, but after trying it out, I was pleasantly surprised by its range and accuracy. It's become one of my favorite air pistols."

"I decided to get this pistol because I really liked the S&W M&P that Umarex made before and the price was unbeatable. The XBG is CO2-powered with a magazine that holds about 18 rounds of steel BBs. I love the ergonomic design and the rugged feel of the textured ABS plastic. It's fun to shoot, and it really hits what I aim at."

"This BB gun is worth every penny. I got it for about $23 and expected something flimsy, but it feels heavy and expensive. The grip is amazing, and the trigger is responsive with minimal resistance. The design looks great, and it’s easy to use. My only small issue is that BBs tend to fall out when releasing the magazine, but that’s typical for BB guns."

"I bought it and tried using my CO2 cartridges, but they were smaller than needed. After ordering the right ones, the gun shoots fine initially, but it jams every other shot. I couldn’t find much help online for this issue, making it a bit frustrating."

"After extensive research, I chose this blowback trainer pistol for its excellent price point and quality. Right out of the box, it felt great in my hand, with smooth trigger and slide operation. I was impressed by the zero leakage when I installed the CO2 cartridge. During my firing test, the accuracy was spot on and there were no failures. This gun provides a realistic training experience that's worth every penny. I'm planning to buy extra magazines for more practice!"

"I love how this product closely resembles my real Glock in weight and feel. The slide action works well, and the blow-back feature adds a fun touch. However, I find the safety somewhat inconvenient to access. I appreciate the competition aspect of using this in my basement with my wife—it’s a lot of fun!"

"Initially, I had a favorable view of this BB gun, but after a year, my second one started leaking gas from the nozzle. I had to shoot it quickly to stop the leakage. The trigger quality is disappointing compared to my Colt Defender, and the slide lock doesn't always function. However, my new Glock 17 has a better trigger and overall improved functionality, even if the finish wears off quickly."

"I was genuinely impressed with the realistic look and feel of the Colt Defender right out of the packaging. The loading process is a breeze, and the safety operates just like the real thing. I had too much fun firing at the box it came in, and I quickly ran through 16 BBs in under a minute. It's perfect for dealing with backyard pests, and I've already had success with it against cane toads."

"I purchased this Colt Defender for my girlfriend, and we were both amazed by its accuracy and ease of use. After shooting around 150 BBs, we found it powerful enough to shatter beer bottles easily. The weight closely mimics that of a real firearm, making it a great training tool. My only concern was some feeding issues, but I’m experimenting with different BBs to resolve that."

"I got this pistol to teach my wife how to shoot without wasting expensive ammo. As a police instructor, I'm impressed with its solid feel and accuracy. We’ve fired over a thousand BBs without any malfunctions, and it’s surprisingly thrifty on CO2. However, I'm concerned about its realistic appearance and the potential safety issues that could arise if someone mistook it for a real firearm."

"I’m really impressed with this pistol for the $24 I paid. It fits my hands well and hits an aluminum can every time at 10 meters. I got 2-inch groups for 20 shots. It outperforms my other BB guns!"

"This is a great buy! It’s lightweight and has great fps and velocity. I stood back 40 to 55 feet from a target and it penetrated a large Spaghettios can without any issues. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an effective airsoft BB gun."

"I’ve run almost 1000 rounds through this Smith & Wesson replica without any issues. The accuracy is excellent at 15-20 feet. The built-in sights are easy to use, but I wish it had a bit more weight for better handling. Overall, it's a great and reliable casual plinker."

"I found that the specifications indicated up to 18 BBs, but I easily loaded 19 without any issues. After shooting through four magazines, I experienced no jams or problems. The trigger pull is long, but it breaks crisply. For about $40, it's a great plinker. I recommend buying two extra magazines since it only comes with one!"

"I purchased this for my nephew, and we had a blast shooting at Daisy targets in the backyard! It’s not very powerful, which I liked because it reduces ricochet risk. The magazine holds 20 BBs and is easy to load. It feels great in hand and appears very realistic, so we keep it stored safely."

"I’ve used several BB guns, and while this one is on the less expensive side, it offers decent performance. I was able to shoot accurately up to 60 feet with good grouping. However, loading it can be a bit challenging, and I did spill some BBs while doing so. Overall, it’s a fun shooting experience!"

"This was a hit on Christmas Day at our family gathering. I bought it for my ten-year-old son, and everyone had to take a turn shooting it! We all loved it! My son was so excited; he almost touched the ceiling with joy when he opened it! Buy it! The price is unbeatable for such a quality product!"

"I purchased this for my son well before his birthday, but I didn't use it until two months later. Unfortunately, it stopped working just two weeks after he got it. The safety switch no longer works, and I had issues with the CO2 cartridge holder popping open. I've even had to use rubber bands to keep it closed!"

"As a fan of BB guns, I really liked this one! It's big and looks very realistic. For the price, it's a great deal, and it shoots really well—just like the $100 ones. Good accuracy and power! This can even be a self-defense option if aimed correctly."

"I absolutely love this pistol! The sights are fantastic, especially the green glowing sight. The build quality is impressive and it's very beginner-friendly. Just a heads up, the safety on the right side can be a bit tricky for holstering. But overall, I highly recommend this airgun!"

"As a certified pistol instructor, I find this airgun to be a wonderful teaching tool. It provides consistent feedback and fits well in my Blackhawk Serpa holster. I've shot over 6000 BBs with it while teaching my nephews, and it's been a great, affordable training option for safety protocols and handling."

"This is a solid BB pistol for the price! I was initially skeptical about the overseas manufacturing, but the fit and finish are excellent. Just remember to use specific oil for air pistols to avoid damaging the seals. It's been effective for deterring wildlife without making a loud noise."

"I got this for $76 and my expectations were moderate, but I own a P365, and the resemblance is remarkable. It's much lighter compared to the real version, mostly due to the magazine weight filled with 9mm cartridges. After cleaning the barrel and applying lube, I shot 150 rounds without any issues, aside from my own loading struggles. Loading the BBs one at a time is a bit tedious; I wish there was a funnel to make it easier. Overall, it's a great training tool for the price."

"This gun is a complete replica of a P365. From the outside, you wouldn't know it's not a real gun. Sometimes, getting the cartridge in can be a bit of a struggle, and I lose some gas, but overall, it’s a fun option for plinking and practicing."

"After using it for 100 rounds, I think this is a great training aid for anyone considering a real SIG P365. Its size is accurate, making it useful for practicing drawing from a holster. However, for casual plinking, I’d recommend looking for something else. The accuracy could improve over time, but I’ve found it lacking compared to my Umarex Glock 19. Also, the CO2 storage isn't great, as it can't hold gas for long. Despite these issues, it serves well as a training tool for those who own the actual firearm."
