As a person brand new to air guns, This was a Fantastic video and sure explained a lot. Thank You for your time and for sharing this information, It's pretty insane how many choices and things to take into consideration before purchasing... I am 52 yrs young and cannot wait to purchase my first one! I am still researching, although I am leaning towards the Sig Sauer SP2022 C02 Airsoft 394 FPS... Anyone have one of these? Do you think it's a good starter? Feel free to leave any good recommendations... Thanks ~
In Idaho USA we shoot our Pellet Pistols with over 25 FPE and 600 FPS without the evil LAW DOGS on our backs. But now since the Computers and China Elected Beijing Biden, that may come to a end.
This was an incredibly informative video. I've recently gotten into CO² pistols because ammo price has gone through the roof in the US, especially in my home state of Illinois (no, I DON'T live in Chicago, almost 6 hours south thank God). I purchased a Glock replica shooting 4.5mm/.177 BBs. The company I bought it from sent me a catalog. i had NO IDEA what the hell some of the terminology was. I'm extremely experienced in firearms (6 years in US Marine Corps infantry-combat in Somalia & Iraq) but air pistols are a completely different animal. I paused your video about ⅕ into to subscribe & follow on Facebook. Again, thank you for the info & I'll be watching more videos.
I am a pistol shooter, primarily for target shooting and have been for some years. But recent events in America have made gun and ammo sales soar through the roof. Thus ammo availability is critically short and I have to husband my supply meaning I don't get to the range as often as I like. I was contemplating air pistols as an adjunct to my traditional shooting. This first basic video was excellent. It was concise, articulate and sans macho language and posturing. I would welcome more along the basics for air pistols, especially CO2 types. Which models are good, better, best, where to buy, how to buy, what to look for and in-home and outdoor targets. Also maintenance and safety are prime as well. Well done Andy keep them coming for your American audience as well!
Dear Andy: First, I would like to thank you for all your videos, especially for the one for the “CO2 pistols for beginners”, the air pistol blow back was the definer for me, to buy. It was so clear and instructive that I make my mind as soon it was finish. I am a range shooter, I started shooting in 1976 with a 38Spl, I also own the 1911 in 45 ACP, but the cost of the ammo was high, so I both a 1911 in 22LR, even do the price differed was lower, the 22Lr matches the size and almost the weight in the 45, I reload ammo for the 45 and other handgun calibers that I own. The similarities in the weight and size of the Colt Commander Blow Back system in the Umarex CO2 BB is remarkable. To be honest with you, I never thought in an air gun because, in my mind I always thought it was like a toy. Time changes and minds changes. Thanks to you know I have the respect to the air shooter. Because of the Covid 19 the range is closed, you make it possible for me to practice in my house because I have the same filling of the 22 and the 45. Thanks Again Danny
Andy, so much appreciated your video for beginners . As an old guy just starting out in hobby, your incites into CO2 guns really cleared up a lot. Thanks again for a great video and channel. Tony
Excellent Video!! I am not a beginner, having been in the sporting word of co2 rifles and pistols for over 10 years, but you raised many valid points and I applaud you for that. Keep up the good works!! Thank you.
Fascinating how things have progressed since I migrated to Australia where air guns are classed as firearms and you need a firearms licence to own any sort of air gun and even if the guns shown here were deactivated (i.e. made inoperable) they would still be illegal to own so be very grateful for your liberties.
I Absolutely Love your reviews Andy,you're sensible,review the air guns I want to know about, And you have basically made my collection I'm proud of, I've gone from a tracker side cocking years ago to a 6 and a halfinch.44 Smith and Wesson magnum. 177 pellet,a walther ppq m2 and a weirauch hw97kt rifle and all because of your reviews and I've just ordered a Smith and wesson model 29 but the snub nose 38 looking one. You're the Absolute best reviewer on TH-cam or anywhere. Thanks so much 😊
I would love to see the two visit each other. Hickock45 in london shooting air pistols and Andy shooting, pistol pistols. Can't go over how many joules of energy? Here, try the SW 500. Andy could show him reloading simulated rounds and Hickock could show him loading some of those Cowboy contest cartridges.
Andy, I know this is an older video, but as a new fan, you're the absolute best airgun channel on this platform. Thank you for your expertise and engaging videos. ✌️
Hey there mate, I believe I have commented before but I’m not sure, I have to say first of all thanks for giving up your time to inform folks like me about air guns. My knowledge has increased so much since buying a second hand crosman T4 around 4 months ago, prior to that my experience was a Diana SP50 that I had when I was 15 years old, 39 years ago, wow time flies. I now fancy an Airmaks Caiman, I would love to have your opinion, but I don’t expect a reply, you may not even read comments ? I now believe that home/self defence could become very important due to the fact that life is gonna be hard in 2022-23, crime will be on the increase & a gun & crossbow are on my shopping list. Anyway, thanks again for the videos, they are brilliant, regards Peter
A truly one great informative video for beginners. :) Thank you very much for yet another entertaining video! Those 2x 8 round rotary flipstickmagazine airpistols are usually great. Always worked well. Love my CZ P-09. A bit contradictive thing with those is; that even that the rotary tip might be magnetic (for use of BBs) - the magnet only works for those hard steel BBs, but not with the softer lead BBs. And who would want to compromise their rifled barrel with BBs? :) The Umarex Desert Eagle is a good example of how power and blowback can lower your shotcount. My UX Deagle only shoots for about 7 good magazines - and then comes a fast drop to the point of the CO2 cartridge being empty. But all of the positive sides of that pistol makes you not to care at all of that *low shotcount (*compared to many other co2 pistols that is - 7 mags of 8 shots is a decent count in my books).
Andy, many thanks for this beginners guide. Im a shotgun shooter normally. However with the current lockdown, i bought a CO2 pistol for back garden plinking and am enjoying it enormously. I have definitley got the bug. Thanks again for providing us noobs with the relevant info required. I've now subscribed to your channel and am really enjoying the content. Thanks again.
What a charming channel, like the Hickok45 of Airgun's from across the pond. I take my hat off to you sir, you are so very elegant and above all so very very British.
Dude you're awesome. I have exploded view of the gun but it didn't show exactly where the trigger went and the spring. You're so patient. Thank you again. You have a new subscriber
Another cracking video from Andy. Explained for people like me to understand very easily. If only my school teachers had been so good I would have done well at school! Thanks Andy 👍
Still relevant and teaching rookies in 2021! Most of this was information I had already learned just by owning/shooting the few pistols I have and the things I have osmosed from watching my husband shoot his rifles. That said, I still thoroughly enjoyed this video, did learn a handful of great things (thank you for the ballistics visuals - so helpful!), and if it were still a question of whether or not we want more of this type of video, the answer is a resounding "yes." First time watching your channel; you've earned a new sub from the states!
Thank you ever so much for the very informative content. I've always been fascinated by guns but I've only been looking into this since lockdown started. Usually a lot of terms are thrown around which is very confusing for a beginner. I have subscribed to your channel a few days ago and I have not been disappointed.
Great tutorial. We are ALWAYS learning and when you think you know everything and get complacent, THATS when mistakes and injuries happen. Always be safe, even with air guns.
really good but I watched the whole thing just to see if there's an easier way to reload hand air guns like the PFAM98, cuz I'm really old and it hurts my fingers.
Great video... Here is Brazilian that has always loved air guns, since its childhood! Now, as I am approaching my fifties, I rediscovered this passion! And your videos had a lot to do with that! I've watched a bunch of them and liked them all... Congrats on your expertise! It's most appreciated, and of course, most helpful.
My first airsoft gun was a 6 shot black 8in revolver and it got me hooked, I’m attempting to get an ak-74u as my first electric assault rifle this Christmas
8:26 Thats explains why my revolver (like that one (not the black one)) just rolls every second BB round out when I keeps pressing. Or maybe the air aint getting though fast enough.
Looking to get into air guns, but as someone who’s been around (real) guns, at 16:01 my heart rattled as you wave that gun pointing it at your head. 😳 I know you’ve checked it’s not loaded and the safety is on, but as this is aimed (no pun intended) at newbie’s, I just thought it important maybe to go through gun safety. 1: Always treat a gun as if its loaded. 2: Never point a gun at anything you don’t want to shoot. 3: Be sure of your target and what’s behind it. 4: keep your finger OFF the trigger until you’ve made the decision to shoot. Great informative video about the guns though. Have subscribed and looking forward to more of your content.
Great info! I have a couple of air guns, but I also love in the U.S., so I have lots of actual guns, too. I want to get a few air guns to use in my backyard, eventually, as well. There are a lot of differences between air guns & firearms, so your very informative videos are really helpful! Thanks!!
When I saw the Orange Curd in your fridge, I had to go make toast with marmalade on it. Then I sat happily watching your vid drinking tea and munching on my snack. Cheers
Thank you for a great intro. Very much appreciated. Im amazed at your knowledge and enthusiam. I'll buy you a few drinks if we ever meet up. Im a newbie retired and wanted to re-kindle my hobby
11:11 I use steel B.B.s with copper on the outside. Does that still cause the same amount of damage or will the copper covering protect the inside of the gun from deterioration?
Watching your video for beginners as I am to Airgun user, I notice that you place a drop of oil on the tip of Co2 capsule before loading. I have seen this being applied on several other TH-camr's using different brand types, Pellgun, Venturi MP-5 oil, RWS Chamber lube, Crossman silicone oil, even motor oil SAE30 'non-detergent'. As with Co2 Airguns they come with O-rings with differing applications and use. Hardness and resistance to indentation and chemicals. So in your opinion what is the best all round for C02 Airgun's?
Thanks to your well made videos I was able to make up my mind on what to get. My Uramex 9XP arrived yesterday, and as a surprise to me, my father bought me the TR50 because I'd been talking about it.
Thank you very much, I have enjoyed your videos and we are learning a lot. If you can help with a couple of questions pls, just some basic stuff: how do we calculate the distance the fuel (pellet or bb) starts losing power, from the moment it is fired? or, to put another way, how far it can go, till it starts taking a dip? and how do we calculate the distance up to which it can have an effect (eg if we are shooting at plastic bottles to pierce them, not just cause them to move) ? Not that much of air gun terminology, I know...
Sir. Thank you so very much. I am glad to have stumbled across your channel, and I have been very impressed by your manner of presentation. I have learned a great deal ,. Thank you again.
Great review. I’m interested because I can’t afford bullets anymore. And I have two relatives that are scared of guns. So, maybe this would be something we could all do. THanks!
I try to watch any new video's from you because I enjoy how you describe the product and just plain enjoy them. SA 10 is a gun worth having I agree. I know this video wasn't one any particular gun but figure I mention it any.
I had an incident with putting a scope on a CO2 pistol I had. It was just a basic rifle scope and I just wanted to see if I could shoot any better with it as long as it fit the rail, which it did. So I mount the scope. I get it all set up and load the BB, take aim, and about the time I start that long pull on the trigger, I realize that my left hand isn't under the barrel as I anticipated. It was under the scope, with my left index finger directly in front of the barrel at *point* *blank* *range.* By the time I was able to process that thought, the trigger had gone through 90% of it length of pull and there was no stopping what was about to happen. It goes off and straight into my finger, where it resides today. It bled like a stuck pig for a just a few seconds until I wrapped it up and put pressure on it long enough. It was dripping so much it was just about a steady stream. So I grab my finger and squeeze until my buddy brought me a paper towel. Wrapped it up until it stopped, then I put a band-aid on it and we kept shooting...without the stupid scope 🤣 My buddy kept trying to convince me to numb it up with a piece of ice and he'd cut a little slit in my finger above the BB and pop it out like a pimple 🤣🤣🤣 Hahano. Lmfao.
What’s the best low price air rifle I’m talking about stuff aroun the £100 mark I know red rider is a common one around this price but I’m looking for one that will fire pellets instead of bbs and have one .177 and a .22 also you can get refillable 19g co2 cartridges that you refill with green gas canisters I normally use cleaning green gas and maintenance gas as well as a standard green gas containing some silicone oil also I sometimes just put some silicone oil into the dissembled refillable co2
Thank you! Please, more videos like this! Could you do one on gun safety please? Both in terms of weapons handling, and also how to set up safely and legally for home plinking?
One thing I can tell you about air guns, Never ever blind fire them, Always assume there is a pellet or bb loaded even if there isn't because if any dirt or debris is in the barrel and you fire it unloaded that dirt is coming out at some velocity.
Nice video! I'm a beginner, currently my co2 is wasted due to the fact that I didn't know about the oil you add to the cylinder before loading. I hope my seal is not damaged I will go buy the oil and more co2 thanks
Today I learned the "BB", as in BB-Gun, stands for "Ball Bearing".. I have used that abbreviation my whole life without realising that... I am 45 years old 😔

As with Co2 Airguns they come with O-rings with differing applications and use. Hardness and resistance to indentation and chemicals. So in your opinion what is the best all round for C02 Airgun's?
this is like listening to the David Attenborough of guns...lol. love it.
After just subscribed in 2021, looking at this video good as it is your presentation has improved by 50 cal .
Thanks to your well made videos I was able to make up my mind on what to get.
My Uramex 9XP arrived yesterday, and as a surprise to me, my father bought me the TR50 because I'd been talking about it.
Just Brill - Top Video EVEN 5 years on !! Blimey!
New to air weapons, so this is great. Saw your review on the Remington Sabre which I bought and I've just ordered a 2240 to tinker.
You said yu bought some pistols send me the web site thanx
Really great introduction. Thank you from Las Vegas.
Thank you very much, I have enjoyed your videos and we are learning a lot. If you can help with a couple of questions pls, just some basic stuff: how do we calculate the distance the fuel (pellet or bb) starts losing power, from the moment it is fired? or, to put another way, how far it can go, till it starts taking a dip? and how do we calculate the distance up to which it can have an effect (eg if we are shooting at plastic bottles to pierce them, not just cause them to move) ? Not that much of air gun terminology, I know...
You sir are indeed entertaining and informative, love this channel ❤️👍.
Thank you kindly
This was really helpful since I am in the market for an air gun. Many thanks!
Wow, I never knew there were still these CO2 guns. I haven't shot bb or pellets since my teens. Cheers from Texas.
Terrific fun. Just received my first pistol last week. The magnificent Walther CP88. It's ace !
Sir. Thank you so very much. I am glad to have stumbled across your channel, and I have been very impressed by your manner of presentation. I have learned a great deal ,. Thank you again.
Best video! Keep them going and advertise how people like me can help you. Everyone wins
Great review. I’m interested because I can’t afford bullets anymore. And I have two relatives that are scared of guns. So, maybe this would be something we could all do. THanks!
I try to watch any new video's from you because I enjoy how you describe the product and just plain enjoy them. SA 10 is a gun worth having I agree. I know this video wasn't one any particular gun but figure I mention it any.
I had an incident with putting a scope on a CO2 pistol I had. It was just a basic rifle scope and I just wanted to see if I could shoot any better with it as long as it fit the rail, which it did. So I mount the scope.
I get it all set up and load the BB, take aim, and about the time I start that long pull on the trigger, I realize that my left hand isn't under the barrel as I anticipated. It was under the scope, with my left index finger directly in front of the barrel at *point* *blank* *range.*
By the time I was able to process that thought, the trigger had gone through 90% of it length of pull and there was no stopping what was about to happen. It goes off and straight into my finger, where it resides today.
It bled like a stuck pig for a just a few seconds until I wrapped it up and put pressure on it long enough. It was dripping so much it was just about a steady stream. So I grab my finger and squeeze until my buddy brought me a paper towel. Wrapped it up until it stopped, then I put a band-aid on it and we kept shooting...without the stupid scope 🤣
My buddy kept trying to convince me to numb it up with a piece of ice and he'd cut a little slit in my finger above the BB and pop it out like a pimple 🤣🤣🤣 Hahano. Lmfao.
What’s the best low price air rifle I’m talking about stuff aroun the £100 mark I know red rider is a common one around this price but I’m looking for one that will fire pellets instead of bbs and have one .177 and a .22 also you can get refillable 19g co2 cartridges that you refill with green gas canisters I normally use cleaning green gas and maintenance gas as well as a standard green gas containing some silicone oil also I sometimes just put some silicone oil into the dissembled refillable co2
Thank you so much for your professional intro!
Thank you professor :) I was really looking for such a video
Thank you! Please, more videos like this!
Could you do one on gun safety please? Both in terms of weapons handling, and also how to set up safely and legally for home plinking?
One thing I can tell you about air guns, Never ever blind fire them, Always assume there is a pellet or bb loaded even if there isn't because if any dirt or debris is in the barrel and you fire it unloaded that dirt is coming out at some velocity.
Nice video! I'm a beginner, currently my co2 is wasted due to the fact that I didn't know about the oil you add to the cylinder before loading. I hope my seal is not damaged I will go buy the oil and more co2 thanks
Very informative. I never had a CO2 gun, but have the real ones.
Today I learned the "BB", as in BB-Gun, stands for "Ball Bearing".. I have used that abbreviation my whole life without realising that... I am 45 years old 😔
