Is this a Blowback Pistol or Non-Blowback?

It's a non blowback and it's the coolest pellet pistol I've owned. *Except mine developed a seal issue. Could have been my fault for not storing in properly but it was fun, accurate, and powerful when I used it.

I would not recommend this item. It is a standard CO2 pistol, no blowback. Pellets are loaded into a cylinder type cartridge that advances on trigger pull. I had to send my first pistol back due to air leaking from the CO2 cartridge. Daisy sent back replacement with caveat that I had to deplete the air pressure with each use since the air seal could not remain under pressure when not in use. OK, replacement is now also leaking and sits in bottom of my drawer. Only good for target practice, BIG targets. Not too practical for vermin control. Be prepared to waste compressed air.

It's a non-blowback but also a very poor pistol for really anything. "Accuracy" at just about any range is not a word I would use with this.

this is a non blowback pistol. double action only, with a nice double action trigger pull, and of course it doesn't use a ton of co2, like the blowback pistols. i like to use the lighter lead target pellets, that give you a little higher velocity, from these short barrels. i don't use bbs, since i think, they can damage the rifled barrel. the only drawback to this pistol is the, i believe, too narrow front site. though it is still, a very good buy, for the price. i also have a gamo pt 85 that is a blowback type pistol. it looks and sounds (louder than most) quite realistic it uses quite a bit more co2, due to the blowback operation, than the others. i hope this will help you. this is a non blowback pistol. double action only, with a nice double action trigger pull, and of course it doesn't use a ton of co2, like the blowback pistols. i like to use the lighter lead target pellets, that give you a little higher velocity, from these short barrels. i don't use bbs, since i think, they can damage the rifled barrel. the only drawback to this pistol is the, i believe, too narrow front site. though it is still, a very good buy, for the price. i also have a gamo pt 85 that is a blowback type pistol. it looks and sounds (louder than most) quite realistic it uses quite a... » Read More this is a non blowback pistol. double action only, with a nice double action trigger pull, and of course it doesn't use a ton of co2, like the blowback pistols. i like to use the lighter lead target pellets, that give you a little higher velocity, from these short barrels. i don't use bbs, since i think, they can damage the rifled barrel. the only drawback to this pistol is the, i believe, too narrow front site. though it is still, a very good buy, for the price. i also have a gamo pt 85 that is a blowback type pistol. it looks and sounds (louder than most) quite realistic it uses quite a bit more co2, due to the blowback operation, than the others. i hope this will help you. « Show Less

Non blowback and certainly on the weak side. Buy a GAMO PT85. Flat out awesome.

no. its a springer so it dosent lock like a blowback. and there is no slide lock. its a cheap gun so it dosent come with those things. but it is very fun and worth your money.

Yes it is... it's the same pistol. Despite the criticism of people expecting to much for to little money... IT'S A GREAT VALUE FOR THE MONEY... IT'S HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE, AND A GOOD GUN AS IS FOR PINKING, INFORMAL METALLIC SILHOUETTE SHOOTING, AND SMALL GAME HUNTING FOR SMALL QUARRY SUCH AS DOVES, QUAIL AND SQUIRREL.... Accurate out to 25 yards.You can fix the problem of pellets jamming in the screw hole, by simply filling the screw hole with some epoxy putty and molding it with your finger... that's a 5 min customization, and you get softer loading... IT'S A GOOD GUN.

This is definitely NOT an airsoft pistol. It is an authentic replica of a colt automatic pistol that fires BB's which can cause injury or even death.

I have heard the term blowback from reading details on other pistols. I am not certain of this terminology , but if it means that things move on the weapon then no , it is not. Also , I would not recommend this particular pistol if you actually want one that works for more than a week of use , as it did not hold up to any type of field use.

I have no idea,it just looks way cooler than the first one I got. This is made to look better on a pistol.My .45 semi auto to be exact.

In the strictest sense, it is a .177 caliber bb gun. Your state and local laws determine if it is a toy or a weapon. I highly recommend you check your state and local laws before purchasing any firearm be it a .177cal or a .50cal. The real issue with this and other models of bb guns that are designed to look and feel like their larger caliber counterparts is that they look and operate just like the real deal, and consequently could be misinterpreted by law enforcement officials resulting in a series of unfortunate events. So, my advice to anyone who asks is simple. Know your state and local laws, and treat every firearm - toy or real, with the respect due a real firearm in order to prevent accidental loss of human life.

Hi Mark - I am sorry but I do not know. My pistol is very new. I can say that it is a very nice breech and improved the accuracy of mine quite a bit.

It is NOT a blowback gun. The slide can be racked (to shorten and lighten the trigger pull for accuracy) but it will not move upon firing.

The pistol is full plastic, with some metal parts. If you have the money, I would suggest to get a we m9 or a gas blowback one. This pistol has lasted me at least 4 years so if you are set on getting a spring pistol, this would be a good one.

Yes it is a blowback pistol... And for that matter very realistic, fully metal and a 1:1 scale weight of the real gun.

I don't know if you could say it is a Keith-Style bullet. It is a semi-wad cutter which is the basis of a Keith-Style bullet, but it doesn't have a curved ogive after the flat nose.

It does not have blow back but the hammer is functional. Thanks Pyramyd Air Team

Yes it is. I tried to return this pistol because it lacked the power to shoot thru a cardboard box I was using to site the gun in. I was only maybe 10 ft from the box. I had planned on using it to shoot small varmits but the pistol didn't seem to have the power. The company would not take the pistol back because I had shot it to site it in. I might have shot 15 pellets through it. Needless to say, I'm stuck with the pistol. BTW, it is awkward to cock the pistol. Good luck!
