Comments:
This is a nice little
plinker. It is very reliable and has two safety mechanisms, a
rotating slide mounted lever and a grip safety. All other
"controls" are molded into the body of the pistol and are
non-functional. The slide does not move. The double-action trigger pull is long and heavy with no
distinct break point. Overall, this gun has very respectable performance for a
BB gun with a smooth bore. Daisy shows this gun being introduced
in 1989, but I bought this one new in December of 1988.
Performance:
Measurements were made on
8/13/06 at a temperature of 81 ºF and 14' elevation. A ten shot string was fired
from a bench rest at 15' using Crosman Copperhead BBs (5.1 gr).
The highest velocity measured was 412 fps, the lowest was 386 fps
(average of the 10-shot string was 396 fps). A six shot string
fired with open sights grouped at 0.74". Click the thumbnail below to see a

Loading BBs: BBs are loaded into a 15-shot magazine. A spring-loaded follower in the magazine produces smooth and reliable feeding. Notice the slide-mounted safety lever as well as the grip safety. |
