Have become a massive fan of AAR on air over the last 2 years. Cracking reviews every time and love that you always vary it Andy so it caters to all tastes / disciplines and budgets. I've bought several airguns off the back of your reviews and never been disappointed yet. Nice one.

[@ComradeMauser]

I have this one for about 1 month. It has stuff to be my favorite air pistol so far. Factory trigger was awfull!!! I modded trigger on mine, milled factory iron sight away and added compact pistol class RMR. Love it. It is perfect for short shooting session on evening, without need of CO2 cartridges and so on. And it's more precious than BB guns.

[@mikew9788]

How did you mod the trigger?

[@pieterdeboer518]

Where can u get that stuff??

[@Beesa10]

The great thing for me about this is the low power and low noise so I can shoot paper targets indoors. No CO2 capsules to buy/ dispose of unlike most other replica type air pistols which is a plus. Enjoying the challenge of learning to shoot it more accurately and doing quite well so far using RWS Hobby 7.0gr pellets.

[@davidhathaway8271]

I bought one a few months ago . It's brilliant for backyard/ garden plinking as it's ultra quiet. The trigger is on the heavy side but who cares when you consider how cheap it was . Very well made and a faithful reproduction of the real gun. In fact if I could I would buy the real one just based on the looks of this air pistol! Comes with a smart box too! Cheers.

I look forward to my every Friday AAR video! It's my day off from work, and I start the day with coffee and AAR. I have a certain fascination with air pistols of all kinds and this one is great. Typically you cant go wrong with anything that Ruger puts out. Thanks again Andy. I'd really love to see you come up with some type of talk show(or something similar)discussing airguns. I realize you probably are already very busy, but I'd watch anything you put out talking about airguns. Thanks again and well done as usual.

[@georgeblucker902]

great review glad to see you out and about

[@shovelchop81bikeralex52]

You can get CO2 powered version of the same Ruger MKII, full size removable mag with 20ish shots (heel release like the RS) semi auto (obviously), full metal upper and much of the lower eg: mag, mag release, safety, trigger, back plate, pins and fastners (no ugly screws). It has a real world take down operation that is exclusive to this Ruger (as far as I know) that is really interesting and fun to play with as a mechanic, it's airsoft (haters can shoot 6mm ball bearings or aluminium ones instead of plastic as it's CO2!) and goes for around £50. Highly recommended, I've owned one for a few years, no blow back but that just means more power! Has a fibreoptic front sight too, green rather than red.

[@shovelchop81bikeralex52]

@@handlesarefeckinstupid I don't know what you've tried shooting 6mm bb's from (or if you even have) but I've got a CO2 powered airsoft rifle that will shoot them trough a reinforced wooden panel door at 30 meters.

[@DarrenMalin]

Nice ! back before the ban I used to shoot .22 target pistols. The club had several .22 Ruger's in stainless they were great Pistols.

[@lestersmyth692]

I have both the Ruger (silver) & the Browning Buckmark. Pleasantly surprised by both especially for the price. Whilst the Browning seems smoother to shoot the Ruger is more aesthetically pleasing. Both are accurate however the Rugers trigger needs some work, really heavy. For target work out to 10m or plinking can’t fault the little springers, environmentally friendly too (no co2….) 👍- thanks for a great review AAR team.

[@dannymcqueen]

If you had to pick one …. Which would you pick? I’m looking to get one of them …

[@lestersmyth692]

@@dannymcqueen Sold the Ruger as I hated the trigger kept the Browning and fitted a red dot as it has a rail to do so which the Ruger does not. Certainly the better of the 2 👍

[@AccordionStu]

I've been looking forward to this review for a while since seeing the Ruger .177 advertised. It looks similar to the Browning Buck, I'm not a lover of the plastic barrel shroud but live the stainless look. Thanks again for an excellent excellent review Andy, very balanced and factual. I may be purchasing one very soon.

[@johndivit5869]

Lovely job Andy! In my day, I had to put up with a Gat push barrel, as the far superior Webleys were out of my range. Had this Ruger been available then............... OMG it would have been on my Santa List for sure!!! It is great that newbies today can access such terrific (safe and reasonable) guns. TTFN.

[@stevenmay3225]

I just got a milbro brake barrel 22 pistol from my local fishing tackle shop was 60 quid with a tin of pellets loads of fun plinking tin cans

[@kelalamusic9258]

Awesome! Reminds me of the actual.22 caliber version I had years ago in stainless steel. I loved it. Most accurate hand gun I shot. I had the boys at the range give me a pat on the back for shooting such I tight grouping. Makes me want to go out and get this Umerex version for some backyard dune.

[@rocketsroc]

Did your left hand get sore from the forward sight when cocking? Mine does, so a rag helps.

[@Win52D]

I have had two of these. The trigger creeps before breaking in the second stage. The first pistol had a trigger pull of 11 lbs the second pistol had a pull of 8 lbs. A trigger tune on the 11 lbs version brought it down to 7 lbs...still terrible but manageable. That being said it is a fun gun to shoot.

[@sergentcolon1]

Nice review, I have the Browning Buck Mark URX, which has the same internals as this one and is a little bit cheaper. I only paid £69 for it. I find it to be a very accurate, low powered target pistol. A lot of fun.

[@smacksmack5976]

I sold mine…impossible trigger. Mine came in at 13 lbs.

[@bobsteckenreiner3415]

Got mine yesterday, I agree with everything you said. This little sweetie fills the same role as her .22lr sister! I hope they bring out some sort of "deluxe version" for like double the price, with a longer bull barrel (gemtech oasis) and piccatinny rail!

About time you got 7up sponsorship Andy 🤣🤣🤣

[@jorgecervantes7644]

A piece of escrement. Bought one and at 7yds with 7.0 grain pellets the drop almost 10 inches. Tried a heavy (weight unknown) maybe 12 grain and could see it fly and go about 2ft low. Cant believe theyd less it as a working gun and not as a "wallhanger). Maybe as a 10 footer maybe 12 footer but find the absolute lightest pellet you can. Love that its a break barrel tho. A lighter trigger would be good.

[@steamboatmodel]

Having shot a Ruger Mk 2 for years I found this enjoyable, You can get a Red Dot for the 22 rimfire version so you might find one that would fit on this one. I will have to see it they are available over here.

[@darkstar453]

Got one of these after watching this. Very good for the price point. As you might imagine there are a few issues with it: - no mounting options for optics. (this pistol would be really nice with a red dot) - the first stage of the trigger is quite nice but the second stage is VERY heavy. - Took a while to zero the iron sights although I think that was more on me than the gun.

[@Beesa10]

I bought this air pistol as a bit of fun and for the price it's pretty good. My main issue is the trigger weight, it takes a lot of force to release it which causes me to tend to pull shots over to the left. However, I am enjoying the fact it's not too powerful so it's fairly quiet and I can shoot the thing indoors (responsibly of course).

[@darkstar453]

@Beesa10 yeah, the trigger is my main problem with it

[@Beesa10]

@@darkstar453 Just watched a video on the Pellets and Pistons airgun channel showing a trigger improvement job on the Umarex Ruger Mark IV. Not sure I'll ever get as far as taking it apart to polish small trigger parts, interesting to see it can be done though. I will shoot a couple of tins of Hobby pellets through it and see how it breaks in/ smooth's out, will more than likely just consider the heavy trigger pull part of the challenge when shooting empty beer cans etc

[@milesstover3724]

there is no better budget training air pistol than the Crosman 1377/1322 series. Remarkable pistols -- affordable, highly accurate, 10+ inch barrel, 450-500+ FPS with the 1322, 550-600+ FPS with the 1377, with limitless customization options. Im not sure if the 13 series pistols are available in the UK, but they absolutely blow all the other offerings out of the water, including this Umarex dropping as well.

[@freewaywarrior8241]

I've been waiting for this one

[@paulynotshore7006]

Are the faux wood grips availlable separetly? I am waiting for mine in black...i would put theses grips on the black one.

[@PLAYINGAROUND]

I think the recently reviewed Webley Typhoon is the better buy. I dare say the Webley's trigger is heavier, but is the more capable of the two. At less than 2ftlbs this really is a 6 yard job, plus with low power comes more chance of less deformation of the pellet and more chance of rebounds. Cheap as though it is, this could be a better, albeit more expensive pistol if they had gone down the CO2 target route in the essence of the real thing. I worry about some of the cheaper stuff in that it may get folk into the sport, but the limitations of the cheap stuff may well put folk off. Sometimes, if the budget is low the best option is to go the secondhand route.

[@TotalyRandomUsername]

I bought a chinese air rifle. It was so bad that after going through 1000 pellets i did not see any progress at all. It was just random. So since i am an absolut beginner and know nothing about this topic. Is there a preassure tank rifle with a magacine and a reasonable scope for let's say 500-600 Euro? Or is this to cheap to get any kind of quality?

[@gizmocarr3093]

I think you don’t have as bad of eyesight as you think. The target is always fuzzy looking if you focus on the front sight. That is what it should look like, I like this model a lot, I have used one that shoots 22 Long Rifles for years this one is likely lighter in weight than the cartridge version. I believe that most aftermarket grips might fit this model if you wanted to try using them. As for the trigger pull weight, being a little heavy is good for practice shooting. It improves trigger control with use. Having an auto safety is good for practice too. It would be better if they offered 22-pellet model too. Likely it is very accurate, the question is how it will last over time. Iron sights are a good thing to learn to use and shooting pistols well requires lots of practice. You learn the most from shooting one shot at a time. Rather than blazing away like to many people tend to do too much of the time. Once you step away from the bench and see what your real results are that is when you learn the most. 🙂
