It would be cool to have a Airgun Detective badge on you when going to the Range to see who notices.

[@stanpotter7764]

Happy Friday to one of my favorite YTubers! 🤘🇺🇸

[@AirgunDetectives]

Hi Stan, thanks for your continued support and I appreciate your comments.👍👍😉

[@jimashby43]

I would like to see a Video of your long term use Airguns. And of course how well they have held up.

[@AirgunDetectives]

Great possibility for the future! Thanks again for watching! 👍👍

[@SR-tj4cb]

Here in Germany I have the Sig Sauer X-Five Schwarz Vollmetall Co2 Pistole 4,5 mm Diabolo

[@AirgunDetectives]

Great Pistol!!

[@PrivateCitizen84]

Every co2 replica is pretty much the same power, range, accuracy. So if I am going for a replica I like multiple reloading styles for variety. I don't pick a replica for any sense of target work, but immersion. I also like historical replicas for sure a slice of history.

[@AirgunDetectives]

They are all really fun!! Thanks again for tuning in!👍👍

[@brorjordas1979]

I must admit.. That I have long awaited for this video to come.. This P226 X-FIVE BB pistol is the one that pulled me into co2 replica airpistols. And this model is still my #1, easily. Got it myself also in a few different versions - but sadly, not found the X5 Open anywhere. Bought initially the og 2009 model (with a more glossy paintjob and orange details on the box), but it's slide later on split in two. So I had to replace it with a more matte coated 2015 version (has some small internal updates (noticeably the slide catch lever), and instead of orange, it has grey colored stripes on the box). Got an airsoft version of the 2015 release X5 and then also the unlicensed KWC P226 S5 model with fully adjustable rear sight. The trigger? .. Do seen someone saying not to like it - but I personally been loving it right from the start. One of my favorite things about it - along with that it is just a one gorgeous, big, solid and heavy pistol..with a full, definitive blowback to it. If anyone really do not like it - I am always ready to sacrifice some storage space for "just one more" of them..😁😁😁 Especially I am in need of that X5 Open version, and the Silver-Wood color schemed Cybergun Sig Sauer one with the adjustable rear sight (which the black KWC P226 S5 actually is an unbranded/unlicensed version of).. ...yeaa.. maybe I already gave away that I truly am a big fan of this particular Taiwanese BB pistol model...😁😁..😂😂😂😂

[@AirgunDetectives]

Hi Bror, I couldn't agree more. These are fun pistols and one of the better blow-backs! 😉👍👍

[@zeeshaneastchem7387]

interesting videos good thinking in making intro.

[@AirgunDetectives]

I appreciate you watching and thanks again for leaving comments!👍👍

[@YDCFF_]

I love my pellet P226. I wish they would have made it as realistic as these are.

[@zuxbg9688]

It would be nice to provide metric units as well, for example as some kind of captions.

[@AirgunDetectives]

Always a possibility👍

[@mikeenglish7063]

I have a sig x5. Pellet version. It has a 20 round belt fed mag. Not the most accurate, but a lotof fun

[@elijahmehrkens901]

I wish they still made this unfortunately we are stuck with the clunky P365

[@AirgunDetectives]

Yes, these were made prior to Sig getting into airguns. They are great shooters!

[@elijahmehrkens901]

@@AirgunDetectives w vid though man you make my Fridays

[@Aaron-us5iu]

For me the biggest issue with co2 guns is always reliability…. It will leak eventually…. Most sooner than later but I would like to see a way to adjust the power. I wish we could get max power for one magazine like 500+ fps 😢

[@AirgunDetectives]

Many factors go into that. Look at the Non-Blowbacks and you will see greater velocity. 😉

[@Aaron-us5iu]

Also I’m not sure you might have already done this but how about a quick tutorial on muzzle devices and their usefulness/ uselessness on airguns…. I haven’t felt the need for one yet but I do have some threaded barrels around my house now

[@stevel105]

Great Video, Nice Pistols. Is it me, or has Ammo and stuff for airguns gone up in Price.?

[@brorjordas1979]

Nope. Not you. It truly has gone noticeably up, sadly.. Some items gone just insane in price.

[@Aaron-us5iu]

Airguns have came a long way since I started I can only imagine how it feels to an older person than myself…. For under $500 you can now get a quality gun with plenty enough power for hunting and accuracy to do it confidently and reliability to do it over and over without too much work! I found something else I’d like to have in my arsenal. I’m going to order one anyway but maybe you could take a look at the macavity arms m2 agility I want the .30 long barrel version myself but they all look nice for me it was between a aea challenger big bore .35 (a little too much power for my yard), umarex zelos, or the ma2… I hope it’s in stock when my check deposits 😂 I’ve been checking. 75-80 fpe should be about perfect for me

[@HenryEberhardt-z3r]

I was wondering why you haven't done a review on the Beeman Dual Caliber RS2 Break Barrel Air Rifle or have you done one on this Duel Caliber Break Barrel ?????

[@brorjordas1979]

❤

[@badgrey3067]

where can you buy such a gun

[@Jimxrt]

can you do a review of a great and classic crosman mod 600 co2 air pistol. I and many others would enjoy a review and evaluation of this classic CO2 powered pistol. J.Budd

[@marvinyolo1744]

Is the Sig P226 worth the upgrade to P229?

[@AndrewPacheco]

Second comment 🤟

[@domingoliao2724]

How about reviewing the replica of Cz Shadow 11 pistol, I think it’s one of the most realistic & nice looking replicas!

[@kurtthomas4746]

Yes, Trump 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸. And yes it would be cool to have an Airgun Detective badge. Another item for your website 😉. Nice video and great shooting as always.

[@PeterAgostiniJdcap26]

What does that have to do with this video? Ya vote for a criminal!!!!!

[@AirgunDetectives]

I actually have one, which I custom made when I started these reviews. Happy Shooting my friend!

[@Aaron-us5iu]

If I had a dollar for every time I bought a co2 pistol and a 40 pack of co2 and the gun didn’t even make it through the 40 pack without the co2 system failing I’d have enough dollars to buy a new magazine for my XDM😂 I’m scared, I’ve read all the reviews and at first it was me not taking care of the guns and leaving co2 in the gun but now it’s not
