Pretty Good, and arrived quickly, only minor issues.Review by Andrew

So I got this on Christmas Eve as promised by this site, first impression, very heavy weight; however I was quite disappointed when I went for a test shot, as the gas was leaking out the mag, this was a quick fix however, all you need is a screwdriver and common sense.

The gun fired very well, even in the cold conditions, and the hard kick was complimented by the huge sound made, when I test fired in the park it got almost everyone looking, as if it were a real gun, nice range of about 20-30 meters depending on the temperature.

The quality of the metal, very nice and smooth, although at the very end of the outer barrel, there is what appears to be a stain, quite small and unnoticeable, but deducts from the quality, alot of the weight comes from the metal mag which feels really solid and strong.

I'd recommend this gun so far, but I'll have to see how good this gun really is in the future, as one other owner of this gun on this site, has given a very negative review about it, so i'm just hoping he was just an unlucky customer, however you could always return it.

For the price, its a very good gun, but I think the KWA ones are better, although they're more expensive. (Posted on 24/12/2012)

Review Part 2 (4 months later)Review by Jayce

What I said in the first part of the review still remains true. Except that he pistol has gotten worse over time.

Update:

The paint flakes off the lower receiver and shows its pot metal underside.

The slide catch lever is now loose and slides in and out of the gun slightly and will fall out if the gun is fired at slight angle, which also no longer locks the slide back when empty.

The grip safety no longer works and will fire regardless of whether it is pressed or not.

The valve knocker has dented itself by making a perfect imprint of the mag valve on itself, therefore rendering it non functional after only 500 rounds.

Using green gas is too powerful for the gun as the slide reset hammer latch has started to warp.

The hammer sear has some visible wear and my guess that it has approximately 500-1000 rounds of life left before it will give out, which will not happen as the rest of the gun will give out long before then.

The magazine seals are starting to give out even though proper maintenance has been performed. (Stored with small bit of gas inside and silicon oil on the seals)

Many reviews have said that this gun is "awesome" but I believe that those people are plinkers and not skirmishers.
This gun is anything but skirmishable and will likely fail on you in the field. For backyard shooting this gun will serve nicely as a time killer.
For competitive skirmishes, this gun will undoubtedly lose to a TM gun, as my PX4, XDM, G17, M9 all shoot more accurately than this gun and do not suffer the affects of cool down nearly as much and has a much higher gas efficiency therefore letting me get almost 2 mags from a single fill of gas.

Also this gun requires better lubrication on the slide contacts as silicon oil is only good for plastic on plastic contact, for metal on metal, you need better lubricant like super lube or use real-steel lube (real gun lube)

Ask any real skirmisher and they will tell you that a TM gun is second to none in terms of efficiency and reliability straight out of the box. (Posted on 21/12/2012)

Great Gas Balls Of FireReview by Troy

(Having just received this along with plenty of green gas, BB's (BAW) and a few added extras)

Value: An all metal, gas blow back pistol for £105?! I couldn't say no! Having watched a few reviews on YouTube and the like I took the plunge and am actually amazed at the value for money with this modestly sized gun.

Quality: Out of the box it feels sturdy, heavy enough to have some weight behind it, and very easy to disassemble and check over the internals. The barrel its self feels slightly lose when the top rail is locked back, but doesn't feel anymore lose than any other ~£100 pistol. The two tone actually looks really decent as well. It's professionally done and suits the weapon massively... before the VCA came into force I would have brought this based on looks alone, so no issues there! There is a fair bit of gas cloud on firing, but it seems to be settling down after a few mags... grouping and power are excellent out of the box; I was contemplating buying the extended barrel and silencer, but actually will not be doing so having seen the kick this thing has. Chronos' suitable for most, if not all, skirmish sites and will probably get a few people talking with the kick and recoil on it... feels almost unique in this respect. Good response on the trigger, not a 2-stage though, but does have the added safety feature of the back grip pressure plate.

Price: Very reasonably priced for this lovely bit of kit! If you happen to be looking for a pistol and can't decide then I would recommend this... It fits into the cheap (Yet very professional) leg holster sold here and looks damn good! Added bonus is the easy upgrade options and extra magazines being fair cheap.

Overall: A sturdy piece of kit that feels like it could take some moderate punishment. Good power, good accuracy and some nice gas plumage! Definitely a good back up and would be highly suitable for urban sites in close hallways/stairwells.

Not bad, for an entry level pistol.Review by Jayce

I bought this pistol as I was curious about the performance, and it doesn't disappoint, I installed the extended barrel with ease and as a result it shoots even more accurately and has a large fps gain, this gun clocks about 360+ now which makes it too hot for skirmishing so consider modding it to lower fps but retain accuracy. I was using green gas.

When buying this gun I assumed for the price, it would be made out of pot metal, which when it arrived confirmed my assumptions.

While shooting a few rounds off in my garden the right side safety lever fell off, which was annoying as it took me a good part of an hour to find it. It seems as if the safety levels are held together my nothing more than just pressure when the two halves are pushed into each other. This was easy to fix with a bit of hot glue.

While fixing this problem it developed another problem, the hammer would not lock back and as a result require manual cocking after every shot or at times the gun would go full auto and empty the entire mag in 2 seconds, which i sounds quite cool but it dumps the mag in a single trigger pull which would be useless in a skirmish.

This required mass dissembly of the entire hammer and trigger mechanism along with the back-end of the grip. There seems to have been some wear on the inner components just form firing 5 mags, very minor deformation.

After this was fixed, I gave the internals a coat of silicone oil and put it back together. It works fine now like it should have been out of the box.

Overall the gun functions well and performs excellent provided proper maintenance is done regularly however given the gun is made from pot metal I am not sure how long the inner components will last and how it will hold up using co2 mags as I dont own any,

Verdict: you'd be better off spending a few extra pounds and buying a KWA PTP as their guns are built better and do not require an overhaul straight out of the box. (Posted on 20/08/2012)
