It looks, feels and shoots identical to the firearm it's modeled after. It even produces real blowback action. The PX4
Recon is loaded with tactical accessories, like a four-sided accessory mount, Walther Shot Dot green-point
sight, compensator and Walther tactical flashlight with grip switch. This 16-shot semiauto shoots BBs or pellets as fast
as you pull the trigger. Shoot one eight-shot clip, drop out the magazine, flip it over and shoot the other clip. Takes
12-gram CO2 cylinders in the grip.
Barrel: 4-1/4"
Overall length: 11-1/2".
Weight: 2.2 lbs.
Color: Dark Earth Brown grip/Black upper.
Bought it on sale and was still disapointed. Blowback feature was too weak to allow double action. All of the plastic add ons were no great improvement. As described by others, the loading of the Co2 cartridge could be a lot easier. Shopping for a good quality air pistol? Don't waste your money on one of these..
I really like this gun. I was getting nice tight groupings right out of the box, albeit low and to the left. I adjusted the green dot sight and after that it was perfect. I like the weight of the gun. As mentioned it is hard to pierce the canister until you get used to it. I just tighten the screw, swing the part that punctures the canister, open it again, retighten the screws, and then swing the part that punctures the canister in again. Sounds complicated but it isn't. I don't like the flashlight, but the green dot sight works well. Good gun. Also, my mother-in-law shot the gun and liked it, and so did my wife.
Very poor performer. There is a lot of cheap plastic on this gun. It was very hard to pierce the CO2 cylinders. Worst of all, it has an inconsistent and very heavy trigger pull.
I don't claim to be a master pistoleer but the best I could manage with this gun was a 4-inch, 5 shot group at 10 meters, two-handed and standing at an inside range in my basement. I fired about 250 pellets and as many as 10% of them missed the 6" square trap completely.
Overall, this gun is a toy priced as a midrange gun. I would not recommend it to anyone.
Cabelas took it back without question even though I foolishly threw away the hard wrap. I ordered the Walther Nighthawk.
