As an Airgun video reviewer I often watch other peoples videos and I'm pretty sure I have watched most of Paul Capello's airgun reviews. I found out he was at this years SHOT Show so I tracked him down and had a quick chat and also got this nice photo opportunity.
I thought it was kind of funny how we both admitted to watching each others videos to use as a reference when making a new review on the same gun ;)
I'm back at the SHOT Show 2013 and so far it has been really fun, I even bumped into Kris and Stephanie Ford from the popular TV show "Sons of Guns" who have a reality based series that is based on their day to day activities at Red Jacket Firearms.
I was a bit hesitant to go up to them as they where just walking around minding their own business but as it turns out they where both super nice and offered a photo opportunity.
One thing that was a bit different this year was the temperature! Even though it is really sunny it has been crazy cold, well wt least the first couple of days. Some of the fountains are even freezing up! Must be the Global Warming ;)
As was the plan, I went around to several booths and got some photos and videos I will be sharing with you as soon as I get back and put something together so for now enjoy a few booth photo teasers...
In our quest to bring you even more of the good stuff we are constantly adding to our Replica Airguns Store, we have recently added to our US Replica Airguns Store some more Blank Guns, Blank Gun Ammo and Blank Gun Magazines. We also added a new item, "Stock Badges".
I have talked about how KWC and Cybergun are really the same product and that Cybergun and KWC products in many cases are really the same gun but with some versions having slightly different markings on the guns themselves.
Today I show you a new 4.5mm Steel BB gun we just brought into the store very closely related to the Cybergun Tanfoglio Witness 1911, or otherwise known as the KWC Model 1911. This new airguns is a Tactical version of the Model M1911 and it goes by the name Model M1911 A1 Tac. It shares the same internal parts as the Tanfoglio Witness 1911 including the 4.5mm Steel BB magazine but the Tactical version is all black and has several updated modern parts that you would not find in a traditional 1911 A1 45 auto replica: Like the tactical trigger, hammer, adjustable white dot sights and accessory rial. This gun would make an awesome IPSC trainer for sure.
At this point there is no 6mm Airsoft version but you can get the KWC Model 1911 and M92 in 6mm Airsoft all metal versions.
I also compare my GSG 92 4.5mm Steel BB pistol I reviewed in the past and show you that it is identical to the KWC same M92 version with the exception of some marking on the slide. Many people even prefer the KWC branded models as they do not have the rather offensive white warning instructions all over them.
So if you're in the market for one of these super popular KWC/Cybergun blowback ultra realistic BB and Airsoft pistols you do have some options to consider...

Sometimes we all get caught up in which gun is brand new and has the most realistic features. I wanted to put the focus back on a few high quality German made Umarex Airguns that where designed from the ground up to be very good replicas but also take into consideration that yes, they are airguns and so they should be designed to operate like an airgun and have excellent build quality, and performance. Quality and performance sometimes gets sacrificed on newer guns that just go after realism and can sacrifice form over function.
Sure these German made Umarex air pistols are not cheap, but hold one in your hand and shoot it and you will quickly see that they are built to last a lifetime, these guns are an investment!
I have already reviewed the Colt Government 1911 A1 (Satin version), I wanted to also show you how it looks in the all black model. Two other Umarex German made guns I have been asked often to review are the Walther CP99 and Smith & Wesson 586/686 Revolvers. I am happy to inform you that I have these guns on hand and will be reviewing them shortly for you.
You can watch my Update video to see a bit of a preview of these very fine German made Umarex pellet shooters:
These are the 7 shot .22 caliber blank front firing versions, very high German quality, come in a nice presentation box and include the flare adaptor! Grab yours before they are gone again...
Some of you may have noticed I have not been making any videos or posting any new articles for the last few weeks, that's cause I took some time off to take a break from work and spend some time with my family while on Vacation in beautiful Maui!
The party is over so to speak and I am back at it and to be honest I kind of missed my "real life" a bit!
The really good news is that I have made a few changes here at Replica Airguns that not only allowed me the time off to take a break and go on a bit of an extended vacation but will now allow me to get back to what started this all off, making videos and interacting with my social network fans :)
So stay posted for even more videos, articles and posts then before!
And don't forget to stick around and watch my YouTube Video I put together for all of you to see some of the fun stuff I did with my Family while on vacation in Maui...
I was going to put these two very nice EKOL Dicle 9mm P.A.K. Front Firing Blank Pistols up in the Canada Replica Airguns Store at a preset price but after viewing the condition and the fact that I have had a lot of people asking about blank guns being available, I decided to put them up as silent auction items instead, I kind of wanted to show them off in a video ;)
They are both in "as new" condition, one has never been shot, the other has had a handful of rounds through it, to be honest I can not tell which is which? So basically they are both in "new condition".
Both EKOL Dicle's are being sold with customized Hogue grips but I will include the original grips with them. Both come in the original cases and with the flare adaptors.
To place a bid to purchase one or both of these very nice EKOL Dicle Blank Pistols, you will need to Email Me Here with your highest bid. I will contact the winning bid at the end of the auction and send them a PayPal request for the total amount including $17.99 Shipping/Handling along with their local tax rate. The winner will have till the end of the day to pay or I will move on to the next highest bidder.
This auction will conclude on Friday November 16th Midnight so act fast!
Enjoy my YouTube Video showcasing the EKOL Dicle twins:
This post has nothing to do with guns but it is for a really good cause. I'm growing my mustache during the month of November for the "Movember Cause". I have also donated $100 that goes towards Mens Health focusing mainly on Prostate Cancer and Mens Mental Health.
I encourage everyone to join me on this journey and if you can grow a stache - go for it, please also throw a little love in the form of a small or large donation, I have setup a "Movember" Team where we can all pool our donations together and see how much money we can donate to this very worthwhile cause!
And the winner of this years Best Halloween Costume Contest is YouTuber mp032. Congratulation on your great costume and very creative and well done video.
I will be sending him a Replica Airguns Coupon Code worth $100!
As with most new items I pickup, I like to share them with everyone. I am checking into some more ROHM blank guns, an RG-59 and RG-88, the RG-59 is a lot like the ROHM RG-56 .22 caliber blank revolver I sell in the Canada Replica Airguns Store but in .380 caliber and the one I show off here is a 5 shot two-tone model. Other than that they use the same frame and mechanical parts throughout.
I also received a black/blued ROHM RG-88 which is kind of like a Walther PPK in design, it field strips the same, has a similar safety setup and even has a similar size and look to it although it is definitely not a replica of a Walther PPK. I am impressed with the overall quality of the ROHM blank guns, material used, fit and finish is very good.
Lastly, I acquired a pre-owned Umarex CP99 CO2 Pellet Pistol from a customer of mine. It is in pretty much in new condition and is one of the Umarex guns I was missing in my collection and have been looking to add. The Umarex CP99 is a pretty good replica of the Walther P99 and uses the standard Umarex metal 8 shot rotary magazines and shares the same CO2 grip fed magazine as the CPSport. The CP99 is German made so it's not one of the lower cost Umarex pistols out there but you do get what you pay for ;)
For my Canadian Blank Gun collectors, I'm not going to list these ones as Silent Auction items this time around so if you're looking for an EKOL blank gun, I have one of each of the following versions for sale:

Take aim and fire with "The gun that helped to change the world". The Thompson Military M1A1 AEG is a battlefield weapon with a serious attitude. This beautiful gun is a fully licensed 1:1 scale replica of a real Tommy gun, and features a full metal body with artificial wood grain finish, a 60 Rd plastic magazine, and a shot velocity of 500 fps (using .20g BBs). The M1A1 also features an adjustable BAXS System for increased power and shooting accuracy. Airsoft enthusiasts will love the stunning classic era looks and awesome semi/fully automatic firepower of the Thompson Military M1A1 AEG. Do not miss this gun! Recommended for use with high quality .25g BBs.
It's that time of year again, when you can actually take your Airgun or Airsoft gun with you to a party (private house party of course). So once again I'm having a Halloween Costume Contest and like last year your costume should revolve around a weapon of some sort. That weapon could be a gun, knife, bat, axe or what have you...
You will need to upload your video as a response to my YouTube video for this contest before the end of day on October 31st. I will check them all out and pick my favorite as the winner. The prize portion of the contest can only go to a Canada or US customer as my Replica Airguns Store only ships within North America but everyone is welcome to upload their costume video.
$100 to the winner - so good luck and may the best costume win!
By the way, the winner of my last giveaway (10,000,000 Video Views) was Charles P with order number 20127595. Charles will be receiving a coupon code worth $211.30 which is the total value of his order.
I recently picked up a couple of really nice condition pre-owned Air pistols, both replicas of some IWI (Israel Weapon Industries) semi auto pistols. The biggest and baddest being a very authentic replica of the notorious Desert Eagle. This Umarex CO2 Airgun Desert Eagle shoots .177 caliber pellets using an 8 shot rotary magazine and has realistic blowback action with over 400 fps velocity. It has excellent accuracy and packs a real punch.
I also have my Cybergun Jericho 941 which again is a very believable replica of the real steel semi auto pistol, some people refer to it as the Baby Eagle. The 4.5mm BB version has a full metal slide and full size drop out metal magazine that holds the BB's and CO2.
Both guns are in like-new condition and come with the original boxes and manuals, the Desert Eagle even comes with three magazines.

For all those people who keep emailing asking me to sell my prized Russian made Nickel Baikal MP-654K CO2 BB Pistol, now is your chance. No I'm not selling mine but I managed to acquire another exact same version, both are made in 2004 and are very closely made in production based on their serial numbers. To be honest the new one I just received is actually a bit nicer than mine, the polishing work on the Nickel is nicer! Perhaps I have grown attached to mine and it has sentimental value so I am keeping mine even though perhaps it is not as nice as the one up for action.
Either way, some lucky person is going to own a very rare Nickel Baikal Makarov MP-654K BB pistol very shortly!
