Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol is good in both single and double action. Double action as expected has the longer heavier pull but is still smooth and not too heavy with a predictable release. Single action shooting has a much shorter trigger pull with a slight take-up and even lighter release than in double action mode.
Accuracy: I have not done my shooting Field Test specifically for this Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol but I have shot enough of these KWC PT-92 rebranded pistols to know that it should get about a 2 inch 10 shot grouping from 30 feet away in semi auto mode of course. And I expect it to get around 330-340 fps on the Chrono. We will have to wait and see the final results when I get to my performance review.
Build Quality: Like all the KWC full blowback CO2 Airguns, the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol has an overall good build and the design has been out long enough to get any of the bugs worked out by KWC. The fit is good and almost the entire gun is metal so it has great weight to it. Finish wise the electromagnetic coating can wear off in the high spots over time but this is true with real steel blued guns too, it will just happen a bit quicker with the airgun versions.
Realism: Again like the full line of KWC full blowback Pistols, the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol is an amazing replica and looks and functions the part of a real Taurus PT-92 in almost every way including being able to be fully field stripped. You will also find metal working parts in the same places you would find them on the real steal version. only the grips and some internal parts like the gas chamber and nozzle are plastic
Pros:
Pretty much all metal gun with good weight.
Heavy blowback feel.
Nice single and double action trigger.
Semi auto and full auto ready out of the box.
Field strips like the real steel version.
Has been on the market for a while so bugs worked out now.
Nice replica of the Taurus PT-92.
Comes with a laser in the box.
Cons:
Has the ugly white warning instruction on the slide.
Only single white dot on rear sight, would have liked them front and back
Expect to use up CO2 very quickly as is with all KWC full blowback airguns.
Could buy the KWC version and then add your own red dot perhaps for less money?
The Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol isn't anything we haven't already seen from KWC or even Crosman for that matter with their PFAM98 (The laser less version) and other Airgun distributers re-branding this same KWC made gun. I do like that the Crosman version is full auto ready out of the box and about their claims of up to 400 fps? Well we will have to see about that as it seems optimist to me based on my other Field Test Shooting Reviews I have done with virtually the same KWC Airguns. The only real unknown going into my Field Test Shooting Review for the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol with be just how well the laser works and if it helps to improve on the accfriay in any way?
