gisburn20 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Time to drop a very short review. I saw this advertised on Action Hobbies site, in their sale for £34.99 , Initially thought , eww thats hideous! http://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/Palco-Firepower-USP-CO2-Airsoft-Pistol_AZJSD.aspx?2 But then I got to thinking, time for a winter project... This is a very cheap NBB, very plasticy ( not that bothered , I love my TM MK23!) , but comes with a pistol mag speedloader (with pistol adapter) worth about £7 , and a spare front sight (fibre optic , dovetailed like a hicapa front sight) and a horrible moulded orange barrel tip. The packaging says approx 150 shots per co2 capsule, I've had maybe 4-5 mags out of one capsule, and is shoots at a reasonable 310 fps with 0.2gs , about 277fps with 0.28g guarder HPM's. This is actually field stripable , and the slide locks back (manually!) to show the open breach. Now on to the shooting, firing at a target at the end of my garage, the grouping was around 1" for a whole mag of 18 rounds (cleaned barrel , guarder 0.28's) hmm, not bad , but that orange tip had to go , and I wanted a small silencer for my "mini MK23" out with the hacksaw... metal threaded barrel off a damaged Kart M14 EBR Outer barrel, fits perfectly. Hey presto!. Am I pleased with my purchase? , damn right , £35 for a skirmishable all year round sidearm! Firing the modded pistol over the longest range I have at home, (about 19 paces - from the hallway, across the living room and the length of my back garden) grouping was about six inches! Oh yeah , forgot to say , all groups shot single action with 0.28's (thumb cocking the hammer, very light pull for a NBB) , double action is a little harder than a TM MK23 but shorter pull length and very smooth. I will probably buy another , just for a spare mag , and another speed loader, and spare parts etc. One last thing, forgot to mention , it fits nicely in a serpa for a USP compact (a little loose if anything) Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
