Best Airsoft Pistols of 2026

"I picked up this pistol expecting a basic plinker, but it really surprised me with its comfortable grip and reliable performance. It's a great choice for casual backyard shooting or for someone new to airsoft. The spring-powered system means no hassle with gas or batteries, and it's surprisingly accurate for close-range use. If you want a simple, fun, and dependable airsoft sidearm, this one is a solid pick."

"This is a decent budget airsoft gun. The replica feels realistic and is good for beginners. While it's not the most accurate and the range is somewhat limited, I appreciate the affordable price and overall fun factor. If you want competition-level performance, consider something pricier, but for casual play, this works well."

"It's durable, lightweight, and comes with an extra magazine. The price is fantastic for what you get. The only thing is the hop-up makes BBs arc upwards, so you have to adjust your aim. Still, if you need a cheap and reliable backup, this gets the job done."

"For me, this BB gun stands out for its affordability and ease of use, making it a perfect choice for beginners. After firing about 100 BBs, I'm honestly impressed with the handling and simplicity of loading. Accuracy is on par with pricier models, and at 7 yards, I was able to hit a small target 90% of the time. Daisy still provides great value at this price point!"

"I've picked up several Daisy Powerline pistols mainly to scare away unwanted animals, not for pinpoint shooting. While accuracy isn't the main selling point, the sound alone gets the job done. My main gripe is that the CO2 seal doesn’t hold up well for long-term storage, so I end up replacing the gun every few years. Still, the low cost justifies this for my needs."

"In my experience, this pistol is a blast to use, especially for rapid fire. It's quick and simple to reload, and hasn't given me any trouble so far. While it’s not the most accurate, the fun factor and budget-friendly price make up for it. Notably, it's made in Japan, which I appreciate."

"I've put thousands of rounds through this airsoft gun and it's still going strong. After some minor tweaking to fix the barrel alignment, it shoots straight and hits targets at long distances. For under $20, it's a fantastic buy, especially with 20g BBs. Durability and performance have both impressed me over multiple years of use."

"This 6mm BB airsoft pistol is surprisingly good—it looks and feels realistic, with a solid build and smooth action. The accuracy and consistency make it ideal for target practice, and it's just a lot of fun. Definitely a great choice for safe, supervised use."

"Unfortunately, the airsoft pistol I received was broken right out of the box. It wouldn't cock or fire, and the BBs just rolled out. Really disappointing experience for me."

"I was blown away by how realistic and weighty this BB gun feels—it's almost like holding the real thing! The blowback action adds a cool, authentic touch, and it fits in most of my holsters for training. For practicing handling and magazine swaps, it's a fantastic and affordable way to train without using live ammo."

"As someone new to air guns, I found this model impressive in both look and function. The recoil and loud sound make it feel genuine, and it's helped me learn gun safety and handling without buying a real firearm. I especially appreciate the reliability and value for someone just starting out."

"While the gun is fun and realistic, I did run into a couple of minor issues like the firing pin sometimes interfering with the magazine. Despite that, the overall experience—loud shots, realistic appearance, and solid feel—makes it enjoyable to use."

"As someone who appreciates a good deal, I was drawn to this revolver for its impressive design and affordability. What surprised me even more was the accuracy and solid feel despite its lightweight build. The trigger pull is exceptionally light, and with the right magazines, I found grouping shots in a 2-inch circle almost effortless. The only drawback is that removing the grip for CO2 changes can be tough, but overall, this is a fantastic plinker that’s a blast to shoot."

"With years of experience as an air gun enthusiast, I was amazed by this revolver’s precision and ease of use for instinctive shooting. The trigger is excellent in both single and double action, and it feels comfortable in my hand. It’s quiet, recoil-free, and perfect for short-range practice. Just remember, safety comes first when using BBs, as rebounds can happen!"

"I’d owned other Umarex pistols before, but this one is a huge improvement. It’s semi-auto, simple to operate, and feels great in hand. My friends have even mistaken it for a real firearm! It’s got enough power for backyard fun, though pellets don’t always fit the magazine design. Still, it’s a solid choice for anyone wanting a realistic replica experience."

"As someone with a background in firearms and military training, I found this airsoft gun to be a great budget-friendly tool for indoor drills. Its lightweight build and low power mean I don’t worry about damaging my furniture, and I easily adapted it for USB-rechargeable AAA batteries. It’s not perfect—the trigger reset is long and the accuracy isn’t great—but for the price, it’s a solid option for practicing movements and sight drills at home."

"From my experience, this pistol is good for the price and offers solid durability. It does go through batteries pretty quickly and doesn’t perform as well in full-auto mode for extended use, but overall, it’s a reliable and affordable choice for casual practice."

"After testing it out, I felt it was lightweight and a good value, but the overall feel was a bit too much like a toy for my liking. Loading the BBs was tricky and I noticed it used up batteries fast. It’s not the best for airsoft battles, but for the price, it’s an okay starter gun."

"In my experience, this is better than the sporting goods store. The quality and value are real good. I have no complaints and it’s perfect for our airsoft games. I’ve dropped it, slid on it, and crawled while wearing it, and it still keeps ticking. It's truly strong and reliable!"

"I bought this for my son as his first CO2 airsoft pistol. So far, it seems solid, and I’m eager to see how it performs in action!"

"Having trained over 50 team members who are active or prior military, I can say they all love these! They shoot super fast, are heavy, durable, and reliable. I cannot recommend them enough as an alternative to SIM round training, but do be cautious as they can leave a mark!"

"I picked up this Glock 18C for fun, and honestly, it never jams when I'm out with friends. The full-auto mode is a blast, especially with metal BBs, and the action is just pure entertainment. Definitely a great toy to have around!"

"I wanted something close to the real thing, and this airsoft Glock really delivers—it’s a solid replica with official markings and satisfying blowback. I run it with propane to save on costs, and I'd recommend getting a second mag if you plan to use it a lot. It's accurate in semi-auto and super fun in full-auto, though the finish on the metal parts wore off a little sooner than I’d like."

"The style and full-auto action are awesome—this Glock 18C is just so much fun. But for me, the mag lips broke, and the slide sometimes wouldn’t cycle fully after only a little use. Maybe I just got unlucky, but the internals felt pretty cheap. Still, it could've been such a great BB gun!"

"I wanted a lifelike replica for teaching and backyard target shooting, and this Beretta APX fits the bill perfectly. The blowback feature and authentic design make it feel just like a real handgun, and the slide locking open after the last shot is a great touch. It's an excellent choice for beginners or anyone wanting a fun, affordable plinking pistol."

"This air pistol feels solid and looks incredibly realistic. The blowback action gives it a true-to-life feel, and it’s surprisingly accurate—I was able to hit a 2-inch target from 30 feet away! The sights are bright and easy to use, and loading is a breeze. My only small complaint is that the grip for the CO2 cartridge is a bit stiff, but overall, I’m extremely satisfied."

"I’ve had a lot of fun with this gun, but after about a year, the CO2 seal started leaking badly. I tried to get a replacement seal from Umarex, but they don’t offer one—only warranty replacement, which was too late for me. Just be aware the seal might not last forever."

"As an owner of a real Beretta 92F, I'm impressed that this BB gun matches the look, weight, and fits the same holsters and accessories. It's an excellent way to practice drills or teach safe handling, especially with ammo being expensive. Plus, being able to shoot in my backyard is a huge bonus."

"The weight of this pistol is spot-on—almost identical to my real M9A4. Though I haven't shot it yet, just holding it gives a solid, authentic feel. Worth noting, the safety works as intended, but it doesn't actually decock the hammer."

"This BB pistol is amazingly fun to shoot and feels sturdy in my hand. The tight cluster it shoots is impressive, and the full-auto mode is an absolute blast. If I had to nitpick, I'd say it uses more CO2 than my other BB guns, but it's still a great buy."
