ASG CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow Blowback CO2 BB Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Blowback BB Pistol.
Manufacturer: Made and Distributed by ASG.
Model: CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow.
Materials: Mostly all Metal.
Weight: 2.37 pounds (1076 grams).
Barrel: 4.5 inches (114mm) metal non-rifled.
Total Length: 8.26 inch (210mm).
Propulsion: 1 x Co2.
Action: Semi auto blowback, single & double action trigger.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 17 round drop out full size metal magazine.
FPS: Claimed 312.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the ASG CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow Blowback CO2 BB Pistol is both single and double action, by either pulling the slide or hammer back you engage the single action trigger which is nice and short and light with a medium take-up. You will need to pull the slide back to load a BB into the breach area for your first shot or you will simply be shooting CO2 on that first shot. If you drop the hammer down once a BB is in the breach, you can shoot in double action which is much heavier but it is fairly smooth without any noticeable sticking points.

Accuracy: I have not shot the ASG CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow Blowback CO2 BB Pistol or made my Field Test Shooting Video for it, that will happen next week. So for now I can not comment on the true velocity or accuracy of this product. It is very well made so I expect it to perform like most Full Blowback CO2 BB pistols which means it should shoot around a 1-2 inch 10 shot grouping at 30 feet away, and I expect it to achieve a velocity close to the manufacturers claimed fps, so around 300 fps or just above. We will find out for sure next week!

Build Quality: The ASG CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow Blowback CO2 BB Pistol is distributed by ASG but I am not 100% sure who makes it for them. I feel it could be either KJWorks or KWA. In either case both companies make very high quality Airguns and that is present with the ASG CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow Blowback CO2 BB Pistol. Fit and finish are excellent and the entire gun is virtually all metal. It weighs in at almost 2.5 ponds and has a very solid feel to it.

Realism: The ASG CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow Blowback CO2 BB Pistol is a 1 to 1 copy of the real steel CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow and side by side it would be very hard to tell them apart. It features full blowback operation and can by fully field stripped. All the mechanical parts work like the real steel version adding to the realism of shooting this CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. Again it is almost all metal which not only helps it look the part, but also feel the part. It is a very realistic replica and to make it even more believable, ASG has provide the CZ licensing to add all the correct markings to this product.

Pros:

  • Single and double action trigger with a nice light short single action trigger.

  • Fit and finish is excellent, very little slide wiggle, all metal build.

  • This pistol is pretty heavy at just under 2.5 pounds!

  • Extremely close replica of the real steel CZ SP-01 Shadow in both looks and function.

  • Well priced for a quality Airgun.

  • Fiber optic front sight helps with quick target acquisition.

  • I like the stainless barrel, it won’t be as prone to scratches and wear marks.

  • Deep recessed barrel for added realism.

  • Full size 17 round metal magazine holds the CO2 and BB’s and adds additional weight.

  • Rail for adding accessories like a laser or tac light.

  • Most mechanical parts work just like the steel version and can be easily field stripped to access the hop-up.

  • Heavy slide spring with fast blowback action, great for action shooting.

  • Licensing all over this gun, true to the real steel version.

Cons:

  • Rear sight is not adjustable.

  • FPS is perhaps a bit low at 312?

  • May be a bit heavy for some people.

Comments:

I am pretty sure that the ASG CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow Blowback CO2 BB Pistol started out life as a 6mm Airsoft Pistol, and then this version was simply converted over to shoot 4.5mm Steel BB’s by more than likely swapping out the barrel, perhaps changing the nozzle and modifying the magazine to allow for 4.5mm BB’s over the 6mm Airsoft BB’s. And that is OK with me as I really like how Full Blowback Airsoft Pistols recreate that realistic shooting experience. The downside to all of this is a bit of a perforce hit since Full Blowback Airsoft Pistols use up a lot of CO2 to create that full heavy blowback experience. You also lose some power along the way. I am fine with that but some people may not be. Overall I really like the ASG CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow Blowback CO2 BB Pistol. It is high quality and looks awesome. Now I just need to find out how it shoots :)

ASG CZ 75 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol Field Test Shooting Review

No Comments

This is my Official Field Test Shooting Review video for the ASG CZ 75 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. You can also checkout my Field Test for the KJWorks Airsoft Version which by the way is pretty much the exact same Pistol but in 6mm Airsoft and distributed by KJWorks rather than ASG.

In this Field Test Shooting video I test out the performance of the ASG CZ 75 CO2 Blowback 4.5mm BB Pistol using my Chronograph to get a real world Feet Per Second rating, I also position myself 30 feet back and shoot 10 rounds at a paper target using a semi-rested shooting position (Sand bag up front and standing in the back).

In terms of velocity the ASG CZ 75 BB Pistol shoot fairly conservative at just under 300fps. The noise this CO2 Licensed Replica Pistol makes is fairly quiet making it a good choice for the backyard if you have neighbors to consider. I also found the blowback to be mild since the amount of CO2 being released with each shot seems to be minimal.

Stepping back 30 feet and shooting at my paper target, the ASG CZ 75 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol produced a decent 2-2.5 inch 10 shot grouping that was just a little to the left and a hair low. The trigger is super light and the release is crisp, I actually had to get a bit used to how light the trigger was as I was shooting a bit early and before I was ready since only a slight bit of pressure is required.

I would like to see just a bit higher fps from the ASG CZ 75 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol, that would also give it a little bit more blowback kick but even the 300-ish fps out of the box, the ASG CZ 75 is a really nice pistol to shoot with it's super responsive trigger!

ASG - Marushin CZ 75 Blowback Shell Ejecting Airsoft Pistol Field Test Shooting Review

3 Comments

Testing out the ASG - Marushin CZ 75 Blowback Shell Ejecting Airsoft Pistol was not an easy one but I did manage to get thorough it! First there was the setup, I could not shoot the ASG Shell Ejecting CZ 75 Airsoft pistol on my deck or I would have fore sure lost most of my shell casings for it. So I decided to setup camp in my pool area where I have a nice large flat area off to one side, I put down a ginormous tarp in hopes to catch the radically flying shells but even this failsafe did not catch them all as I later found out ;)

As with most of my Field Test Shooting videos, I usually do a bit of a pre test to make sure the gun is functioning properly and so I shot a full magazine of my brass shells through the ASG CZ 75 and it worked like a charm, of course when I started recording the live video it decided not to work at all and I still do not know why? I was able to revert back to the plastic shell casing that came with my ASG CZ 75 Blowback Shell Ejecting Airsoft Pistol and they seemed to be working so I went with them for my testing. Interestingly enough the brass shells got much higher fps (around 300+) when I did my pretest compared to around the 250 average fps I was getting with the plastic shell casings.

Shooting on target proved to be better than I though once I raised my sight point up a bit, the gun likes to shoot a bit low but once I found the sweet spot I got three rounds within about 3/4 of an inch from just over 20 feet away in a semi rested position.

I would not recommend this Airsoft gun as an everyday shooter and there is no way you could use it in any type of Airsoft simulation as the ejected shell casings would get lost for sure and the cost to shoot the ASG CZ 75 would get very high indeed! It would be good for use in a movie or video where you wanted the realistic look of shells being ejected and did not want to use a blank gun or render the shells in post. And of course it is just really cool to have an Airsoft gun that has ejecting shells :)

Make sure to watch my Table Top Video Review for information and photos on the ASG CZ 75.

ASG - Marushin CZ 75 Blowback Shell Ejecting Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Shell Ejecting 6mm Plastic BB Airsoft Pistols.

Manufacturer:ASG.

Model: CZ 75

Materials: Plastic slide & frame, some metal parts.

Weight: 1.4 pounds (616 grams).

Barrel: Metalnon-rifled smooth bore.

Propulsion: Propane, green gas.

Action: Blowback, single action only.

Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 8 rounds.

FPS: 279+ fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the ASG CZ 75 Shell Ejecting Airsoft Replica is single action only, unlike the real steel version that actually has a single and double action trigger. The single action trigger has a light to medium pull but does have a fair bit of take-up to it.

Accuracy: I did not pre-test the ASG CZ 75 as the shells fly everywhere and you really need to be able to retrieve them afterwards as the cost to replace the shell casing is rather high. I do plan to do a full Shooting Field Test where I will shoot the ASG Shell Ejecting CZ 75 through the chronograph, place some shots on a target and also capture the action of this pistol in slow motion with a high speed camera. So stay posted for that. I can say that from the few shots taken in my house, that it seems to shoot pretty hard and the shells really com flying out of this gun with force, I also noticed that a BB does have to be loaded into each shell for there to be enough back pressure to allow for a full slide blowback and ejection of each shell.

Click here to watch my Field Test Video Review for the ASG CZ 75 Shell Ejecting Airsoft Pistol.

Build Quality: Even though this gun is made mostly out of plastic and from what I can tell is also made in Taiwan, it has a very good overall fit and finish. The slide slop is next to none and the licensing and markings look great. There are metal parts where they really need to be like in the barrel, hammer, trigger, safety, slide catch, magazine and a few other internal parts.

Realism: The ASG Shell Ejecting CZ 75 Airsoft Pistol is one of the most ultra realistic Airsoft pistols I have seen and mimics a real steel gun right down to the shells being ejected, how cool is that! If it had more metal then that would really top it off. Even with the plastic slide and frame it is very realistic in almost every way and even field strips just like a real CZ 75 and is fully licensed. The only feature not true to the actual CZ 75 would be the single action only trigger.

Purchased from YouTuber: FuzzyDicePimp

Pros:

  • Very cool blowback with ejecting shell cases.
  • Excellent fit and finish - tolerances are very good.
  • Very believable working replica of the real steel CZ 75.
  • Fully licensed.
  • Fully field strip-able.
  • Nice heavy full size drop out metal magazine helps give it some needed weight.
  • Has metal parts where they need to be.

Cons:

  • Plastic slide and frame.
  • A bit low in the FPS department.
  • Only 8 rounds in the magazine.
  • Can not really use in the field, would lose too many shells.

Comments:

The ASG CZ 75 Shell Ejecting Blowback Airsoft Pistol is a very unique Airsoft gun, not very many Airsoft guns actually have ejecting shells. Just because of that I had to have it! Overall it is a pretty decent gun but I have yet to really test it out and that is the biggest shortcoming with this gun, you can't just shoot it anywhere as you need to shoot it in a place where you can recover your spent shell casings, unless of course you have all the money and shell cases in the world... That said it has a lot going for it other than the ejecting shells; Fully licensed and trademarked, blowback operation, full size drop out metal magazine and it's fully field strippable. I am sorry to say we don't offer it in out Canada or USReplica Airguns Store but we do have a similar all metal CZ 75 Airsoft offering in the form of the KJWorks KP-09 which I have done both a Table Top and Shooting Review for.

KJWorks KP-09 CZ 75 Blowback Airsoft Pistol Field Test Shooting Review

2 Comments

Here is my official Field Test Shooting Video Review for my KJWorks KP-09 CZ 75 Blowback Airsoft Pistol. Make sure to checkout my previous Table Top Review for more detailed info about the KP-09 where I also did a pre test and got similar results.

My 5 shot Chronograph test resulted in a very respectable 366 average fps while my accuracy test shot from 20 feet out in a semi rested position this time around came in a bit higher than my pre test right at around 2 inches. Several of the shots hit right on top of each other. In terms of shot placement the KJWorks KP-09 CZ 75 shot fairly well centered but just a bit high and a tad to the left. I was also able to again get 3 full magazines or around 75 shots out of this heavy blowback Airsoft pistol. 

KJWorks KP-09 CZ 75 Airsoft Pistol really has a lot going for it, it's a great Replica of a real steel CZ 75 with a very nice single action trigger, it has great snappy full blowback with excellent fps and accuracy and it even gets a solid 75 shots out of a single CO2 which is very good for this style of full blowback gun.

KJWORKS KP-09 CZ 75 Blowback Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review

3 Comments

Type: 6mm Plastic BB Airsoft Pistols.

Manufacturer:KJWORKS.

Model: KP-09 (CZ 75 Replica)

Materials: Metal slide & frame.

Weight: 2.1 pounds (970 grams).

Barrel: Metalnon-rifled smooth bore.

Propulsion: 12 gram CO2.

Action: Blowback, Single and double action.

Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 24 rounds.

FPS: 366+ fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the KJWORKS KP-09 CZ 75 Airsoft Replica is surprisingly light in single action but incredibly sticky at first in double action, with that said you really will not be shooting very often in double action unless you happen to de-cock the gun for some reason, at least you have the ability to shoot with the hammer down in double action when required. In signal action it took me a bit to get used to the very light trigger pull as I was letting some shots go off early.

Accuracy: I shot the KJWORKS KP-09 from 20 feet out in semi rested position and got very satisfactory results. I was able to place 10 rounds under 2 inches almost getting a 1 inch group with the exception of one flyer. Shot placement was also well centered but just a bit high which could easily be corrected by adjusting my aim point just a bit down. The KJWORKS CZ 75 Airsoft Replica shot right around the 360 fps range while conducting my 5 shot average chrony testing which is right where this gun is supposed to be. I also got three full 24 round magazines worth of shots with a bit of CO2 left over for a partial mag, so this gun can easily get 75 shots out of a 12 gram CO2 - not bad at all for this style of full heavy blowback airsoft design.

Build Quality: I am extremely impressed with the build quality of pretty much all the KJWORKS Airsoft guns, the fit and finish is the best I have seen on any of my guns including my 4.5mm steel BB shooters. Even after shooting several magazines worth of BB's, the painted metal friction areas show very light wear which is not always the case with metal built blowback airguns. (there was some wear present within the ejection port but this is common even with real steel guns as metal on metal will wear down the finish). The tolerances between the moving parts like the slide and frame are very tight showing excellent workmanship and machining. 

Realism: The KJWORKS KP-09 6mm Airsoft pistol is a replica of the real steel CZ 75 and is a great looking and functioning copy. You will not find actual licensing on this version and the CO2 magazine does stick out a bit to accommodate the 12 gram CO2 but other than that this Airsoft pistol looks and works near exactly like the real mccoy and is full field strip-able. Even the safety operates just the same with safety available on half cock and full cock only.

Available in the:Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • All metal pistol with good overall realistic weight to it.

  • Very crisp and firm full blowback operation.

  • Excellent fit and finish - best I have seen.

  • Excellent fps and CO2 efficiency (three plus full 24 round magazines)

  • Good accuracy and well centered on target.

  • Very believable working replica of the real steel CZ 75.

  • Fully field strip-able.

Cons:

  • Does not have official CZ 75 licensing.

  • CO2 magazine is long to accommodate the 12 gram CO2.

  • Did get some finish wear in the ejection port area.

Comments:

The KP-09 CZ 75 is another wonderful full blowback Airsoft pistol from KJWORKS. The CZ 75 is a classic semi auto pistol and deserves the attention to detail the KJWORKS version demonstrates. I found the CO2 usage to be very good on the KP-09 considering the rather high 360+ fps I was abel to get with it. Top this off with high marks in the accuracy department and you have a real winner here. So if you're looking for a quality Airsoft Replica of the classic CZ 75 that shoots straight and hard and looks and operates just like the real steel version then the KJWORKS KP-09 should just do the trick for you.

KJWORKS KP-05 KP-09 M9 GBB Airsoft Pistol Preview

5 Comments

I've already done a KJWORKS review on the KP-02, KP-07 and Elite 1A and they turned out to be very high quality Airsoft pistols so the extra price does get you a higher quality gun. So in this preview we are simply looking at some more models that from the looks of things I expect to be more of the same in terms of high quality and excellent functionality.

The KJWorks models we are looking at today are the KP-05 (1911 HI-CAPA), the KP-09 (CZ 75) and the M9 (Beretta M9). Even though none of them are licensed, they are very detailed and realistic copies of the original real steel versions with full blowback operation, heavy metal drop out magazines and lots of metal throughout. You would be hard pressed to tell them apart from the real powder versions.

All version in this preview load CO2 in the magazine along with 6mm Plastic Airsoft BB's, none of them have any orange markings or translucent parts as they fall into the uncontrolled firearms category here in Canada.

I look forward to doing my full review of these three very nice KJWorks Airsoft pistols.
