UmarexTrevox Break Barrel .177 Caliber Pellet Gun Air Pistol

This is a great air pistol when a CO2 just won't do. It's a single shot, break barrel and can be used in any weather. While it is both a bit heavy and a little hard to break the barrel, especially post shoulder surgery, it is a very powerful air pistol at close range, and is also very accurate considering the price of this pistol. This is used at 20 yards or closer for target practice or small rodent control at very close range. This is a good, fun, quiet pistol, but just requires a bit of strength to break the barrel, which is where the discomfort stated above comes from. I do not find the trigger hard to pull.

Pistol looked good out of the well packed box. Put a little machine oil at the cocking hinge. Played with elevation/windage (a little loose) and got the pistol sighted in. Trigger Has long pull but it works. Chrony gauged FPS with pointed hunting/field pellets. Good for pest control.

I bought this to target practice with my grade school kids. This break barrel takes some strength, my mom can't charge this pistol, not can the young kids. I'm keeping it because it's cool, and I'll get a different one for the kids that is easier to pressurize.ibprefervthe single shot without CO2 cartridge. I think that shows the kids down to concentrate on shooting and marksmanship.

So much fun,easy for an adult to cock .I would say under 15yrs old probably won't be able to cock it (probably a good thing.)The trigger can be adjusted for the long pull and a simple spring removal fixed the heavy pull . it's ok out of the box just a preference .I enjoy plinking with it,me and my eleven year old kid's enjoy shooting it ,I have to load it for them.i plan on taking care of a few rats with this as well .very well made very accurate and quiet ,I couldn't be happier with it

Works great. Powerful.

did not live up to the billing of performance that was advertised. claims to be suitable to take down small game up to the size of racoons and possums. It barely took down a small bird with 2 shots required. The rear sight had to be adjusted all the way to the right to bring it even close to center. I shot a squirrel in my pecan tree 3 times and it ran off as though never hit. I could hit pecans on the ground at 20 to 30 feet away so I doubt I missed the squirrel 3 times. I sent it back for these reasons. During the repacking process the rear sight hung on the stiff plastic of the box and broke the left corner of the thin plastic sight. The company that provided it said it was abused and not only has the gun back but has refused any sort of a refund due to the sight and what it calls scratches to the finish. I only got to use it 3 or 4 days out of the 11 I had it and only a few times a day on those days. It was never dropped or banged around. It was laid on the rubber mat of my lawn mower deck while sitting on the mower waiting on the squirrels that have been ravaging my pecan tree to appear. They asked if I read the manual on how to properly lube it and what kind of lube and where to put it. It came with excessive oil on it that had to be wiped down with a cloth to remove it. They claim it arrived back to them with a white substance on it. didn't have that when it was repackaged. Their presentation to amazon was it had been abused. Amazon supposedly said that said abuse did not warrant a refund. Nothing they have cited has any bearing on lack of advertised performance straight out of the box. They say the cost of repairs would exceed the value of the gun. Apparently I was overcharged to begin with then. They have both the gun and all my money.

For the price, this is a pretty good gun. I have shot less than 50 pellets through this thing, but it's doing pretty well for a pistol, in terms of power and accuracy. I only use this for plinking in the backyard, so expectation is not that high. I wish the trigger was a little lighter, and the cocking wasn't so tough. But a good purchase regardless.Update 1: I reduced my rating to 3 stars because the trigger pull is really long, and requires a lot of force to break. My trigger finger is numb after several shots. FYI, there's a mod out there to make this tolerable.Update 2: After 250 rounds through this thing, I'm beginning to like this gun. It's not for everyone, but I ended up modding the trigger. Without this trigger mod, I probably would have returned it already; I simply could not hit anything with that stock trigger. I also found that the open sight is just not very good, I had to adjust the rear windage all the way to the right to get it to shoot straight. So I ended up buying a cheap red dot sight, and that made a world of difference for me. All in all, I spent another $35, and some elbow grease, for a much better experience with this gun. With all the changes, out of 250 rounds, shooting at a distance of around 15 yards, using a 2" steel plinking target, I missed only one shot. This is shooting without a rest, just free-standing. I'm happy with that result because I'm just not skilled enough to shoot at 30-40 yards; I do have a rifle to do pest control at those distances. After all those rounds, the cocking effort seems to get easier as well; just that very first time for each session seems to be a beast. Overall, a recommendation with tamed expectations for this gun. For me, it is acceptable.

It's not very loud for an air pistols, and though I haven't done the Chrono yet, I'd say it shoots at at least the advertised velocity.Have put at least 500 pellets through it, and the only issue I've found is Crosman pellets do not shoot as accurately through this as any of the other pellets I've run through it. But then lately it seems I've had less than happy results with Crosman pellets in any air gun.It's a bit heavy and bulky, but that seems to suit me well, the grip fits nicely in my large hands, shoots quite accurately for a pistol and mine has a decent trigger tension.I like my HATSAN air rifles, but I'd take this over my HATSAN pistol ANY DAY.Thinking about trying out more UMAREX products.
