Gamo611138254 Pt-85 Blowback Pellet Pistol Clampack, 611138254, Black

I have loaded a CO2 Cartridge in it and it kept it's Pressure for more than 4 Months before I fired it! NO LEAKS!When fired, the slide moves backwards, cocking the Hammer and then forward for the next pellet to be fired.The only very 'Minor Issue' is the Thumb Safety which is Not Ambidextrous! It looks like it is, but the Left Side Thumb 'Safety Lever', does not function! (See photos) Only the Right Side Thumb Safety works (For a Right Handed Shooter this is good, for the Left-Handed shooter it's not so good,) and it is a "2-Operation" Lever. 1st: Slide the top of the Lever backwards, Towards the Operator. 2nd: Now you can Slide the Front of the Lever UP, to Fire the gun, which is when the "RED Safety Dot" appears.I am mostly a Right-Handed shooter and 70+yrs old, so this took me some time to get used to, but it’ an Easier Operation for me by using 2-hands, to release to Safety, and again, this is a MINOR Issue.Remember, this “Blow-Back” Top Slide moves Back when fired, so Keep your Free Hand Away from the Rear of the Slide!All-in-All this Pellet Pistol is a Great Buy for a Great Looking and Operating Pellet Pistol. This is a Fantastic Tool for Training Purposes! --- WARNING! --- The View from the 'Business' End (Muzzle) of this Pellet Pistol LOOKS AND FEELS Like a REAL 9mm or 380cal Firearm! No Orange/Red Muzzle! From 2 feet or more away, from any angle, this Pistol LOOKS REAL, so NO JOKING AROUND with it!!THE 2 MOST Important Gun/Weapon Handling Rules to Remember are;1)ALL “GUNS”, Toys, BB/Pellet or REAL Firearms are ALWAYS Handled/Treated as LOADED!2)NEVER POINT ANY GUN AT ANYTHING YOU DO NOT WANT TO KILL OR DESTROY!I highly recommend this Pistol! So Have Fun!

Note: This is a very well made pistol for honing your aiming and shooting skills on inanimate targets. However if you're going to use this product for solving a pest control problem; namely raccoons, this pellet gun is NOT the solution. I purchased this item two days ago to eliminate a huge "Raccoon" problem in my front and backyards. Raccoons are digging up holes all over the place. A family of four. So I got the pistol as a non-lethal, "get off my lawn," go be someone else's problem, type of solution.For this, I am EXTREMELY disappointed! ....Now, mind you, I'm using the "Destroyer Pellets" at about 5 feet away. First, I go for the body shot, thinking this would sting it enough to let it know that I was serious. I shoot, it runs away, the other three scatter. So I'm thinking, kool, this is gonna be short work.... Literally 10 seconds later, they're creeping back around the corner and on the fence! Ok, I'm a bit surprised. So, I let them creep back close enough for me to get a really good head shot. I mean right up on this guy. Boom! again, they run off. I stand and curiously wait..... Again, three comes back.. Then the bigger mother comes, which is the one that I shot; but only this time, it just goes right to the food that was laid out, and just continued to eat, as if I wasn't there!...So you see, this is "not that gun." Definitely looks like an actual firearm, but sadly, doesn't carry that knock-down force that I had hoped for. Or maybe I needed a larger grained pellet. Whatever the case,I'm going to try the "Sonar Approach" next. However, if this does not work, I will definitely escalate matters to a lethal pellet rifle. I will not be going through the hassle of trying to cage and transport these pests or use any poisons. I simply want them gone, and my property NOT ruined.25 people found this helpfulHelpfulComment Report abuseAutumn1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed!January 5, 2019Verified PurchaseLet me start by saying that I was so excited to get this gun. I loved everything about it. The blowback series is fun and it has the look and feel of a "real" gun. Okay here is where

This is the first day i have had the gun.When i got the gun i was surprised at how heavy it was. It has a metal slide and some sort of plastic/polymer frame. I believe all of the internals are metal.The first time i shot the gun, being used to non-blowback pellet guns, i was surprised by the kick. I would compare the force of the kick close to a .22 long rifle. The blowback uses CO2 to function so you aren't able to get as many shots per CO2 cartridge as a non blowback. i got about 50 shots per cartridge.I shot a soda can from about 40 feet away with easy. The gun is accurate and seems to be pretty powerful. I was using gamo match ammo, not the PBA raptor ammo. They went right through the can and stuck into the plywood behind it.Their are a few things i don't like. The safety is kind of a pain to turn off. To turn on the safety you just have to push it down so that's easy. The slot that's open on the bottom for the magazine shows the knob that you turn to tighten the CO2 cartridge which isn't a big deal i just don't like it. I also dont like that the magazine is plastic and cheep feeling. i had a problem with the gun not firing but it was partially my fault. I wanted to see how many shots i could get with one cartridge, as the pressure got low the gun stopped firing pellets. So i tired to release the mag but it wouldn't come out, the trigger was locked back and the hammer was back. I took out the CO2, switched the gun off safe reset the trigger by lightly pushing it forward and put the gun back of safe which automatically decocks the hammer. Then i was able to get the mag to come out.But other than that i love the gun so far!! I got an NCstar tactical light for the gun from Amazon which fit well on the gun and was really bright and seemed solidly build.Great gun and very fun to shoot! Highly recommend!
