Best CO2 Air Pistols of 2025

"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 found the size and feel of the gun to be great, resembling a firearm but lighter. The grips are a bit loose but not enough to affect my shooting. While it's not a heavy hitter, I enjoyed plinking with it. I was able to get about 30 good shots per cartridge before it started to lose power. The construction is solid, with metal parts, which I appreciate."

"After my first gun had issues, my new one has been working well. I made some adjustments to the rear sight to eliminate wobbling, and now it feels solid and accurate. I've shot about 50 rounds so far and I'm impressed. I'm even considering getting another one for my wife if this one holds up!"

"This pistol is fun and easy to shoot. I love the option of double or single action, and the trigger pull is nice and smooth in single action. Loading is simple, and I can rapid-fire with it. I do have to be careful with the clips to ensure they last, but overall, I think with a bit of maintenance, this gun will serve me well."

"I find this airgun very well made and it looks incredibly realistic. It's a lot of fun for plinking, and I would definitely recommend it."

"This is hands down the best CO2 pistol I've ever used! It feels and shoots amazingly well, with unbelievable accuracy that doesn’t drain too much CO2."

"While it’s heavy and seems durable, I noticed that the cylinder lockup isn’t firm enough, leading to some inaccuracy when shooting."

“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 think this BB gun is fantastic! It feels very realistic and has a solid weight. The hidden CO2 cartridge is a great feature, and I've shot over 80 BBs without any power drop. It’s powerful enough to take out a pesky roof rat! I’m really impressed with the safety design too—it’s easy to see and use. Overall, I’m very pleased with my purchase!"

"Honestly, skip reading reviews and just order this! I've been shooting for over 50 years, and this BB pistol is the best value I’ve ever found. It feels great in my hand, and I’ve put around 4,500 BBs through it without issues. Plus, it looks and sounds like a real firearm. I'm gifting these to my kids this Christmas because I know they'll love it!"

"This gun is powerful and easy to use. I was worried I’d miss the blow-back feature, but it’s not necessary. I keep a new CO2 cartridge ready to go, and it shoots through wood effortlessly. The top-loading feature is really convenient. I’m thrilled with the price and performance!"

"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 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 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!"

“I got this for my grandsons for Christmas, and they are perfect! I can tell they will have a lot of fun.”

“I dropped my pistol from just 2.5 feet, and it busted all to hell. I love it, but the plastic feels brittle.”

“After using a Crosman pistol for years, I bought this one as a replacement. However, it’s not made nearly as well.”

"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."
