Doing the best y’all can with what y’all got.. I understand but it is a joke. False sense of security. Drug crazed folks don’t go down or get stopped with real guns let alone a kids pellet gun that shoots pellets almost as fast as most hunting bows in America. As a kid we would use pellet guns n rifles like this to play war in the woods. All it takes is a couple layers of clothes and no pellets or bbs will break the skin, we used rifles that would sling pellets at 800 ft per second.. men all over the world have been neutered..
Thanks for the review. Very informative as always. I've had the X-Five ASP for a few years now and after having put 1000's of pellets through it, began suffering far more frequent jamming. The cause was wear in the magazine, such that the pellets in the chain weren't perfectly concentric with the barrel when the CO2 was released to fire. This caused the edge of the pellet to hit the edge of the barrel and jam. Using a wooden dowel down the barrel to push the pellet back into the chain allows the magazine to be released and the pellet inspected. Most of the time, the head will have a crescent imprint on it from where it hit the end edge of the barrel and will be bent over to one side relative to the skirt. To confirm the cause, I removed the CO2 from the gun and loaded the magazine and peered down the barrel with a torch whilst cycling the trigger. You can then see that some of the openings in the chain don't rotate into perfect alignment with the barrel. It might not be every one though so check all 20 - I had 2 out of 20 that were particularly bad, but others were starting to also loose alignment as well. I have since bought a twin pack of new magazines and although they worked better than my old one out of the box, they weren't perfect. On disassembly, I found the spring loaded clamp at the top which holds the chain in position to be tight on one of them due to a bit of plastic flashing that hadn't been removed. Once this was sorted it moved freely to hold the chain in the firing position. As others have stated, a bit of lubricant on the chain does help, but I feel the most important and best area for this is on the top of the central divider tab that the chains passes over as it turns to come back around after the pellet has been fired. The spring loaded clamp effectively pushes each link against this tab, so the top edge of this wears away over time causing the barrel alignment issues. What I do now is put a drop of Pellgun oil on this edge prior to every shooting session and it makes for a much smoother trigger action and so far, zero jamming even with rapid fire. Accuracy has also improved as the pellets are no longer being damaged due to minor barrel misalignment. If you own this gun and are having problems with jamming then hopefully the above will be of some use. Granted, on a brand new gun this shouldn't be necessary, but it's a simple check to at least look down the barrel (safely!) to see if it is due to magazine chain misalignment. You can then decide if you want to return it if it's recently been bought with the benefit of being able to argue what the problem is, or, when outside of the warranty period, do as I have and tinker with the magazine to try and sort it yourself. I suspect all this also applies to Sig Sauer's other ASP models the P320 and M17 as they share the same chain magazine system. When it does work flawlessly, the X-Five ASP is a great gun and awesome fun! Happy shooting!
Hey man, I just wanna say I've been watching more of your videos recently and I really appreciate you reviewing pistols and replica guns (infact it is what drew me into bb guns in the first place). I just wanna say keep up the good work!
Your channel and replica airgun channel has gotten me into airguns. I shot real guns as a kid but as an adult who has kids and lives in a city with no need for a real firearms atm in life. My Sig Sauer M17 is really an amazing airhandgun. I have a tactical looking Sig Sauer MCX. Soon I'm gonna get DPMS SBR and AK1. The and MPX and I want an MP40.
Pleasant way to enjoy Sunday morning coffee, not outside on the range but rather inside watching your videos. I have a XD Mod2, a P365 and an AR15 but given ammo costs and the 5 mile drive to the range, I dont find much time to 'indulge'. I was able to pick up a 320, 365 and the Crossman SBR in Co2 versions and now range time is a walk outside to the back yard-nice! Leaving the Crossman alone because its just a whole lot of fun I love my 320 and 365. The 320 is close to my XD in weight and feel so it gets used more for range practice and accuracy, very happy with the results. My 365 is my favorite since its also my carry gun. This one is a short range gun/close quarters gun and I use it more for quick draw practice and close quarter shooting. This is the best and most cost affordable way to hone skills in a none lethal and less expensive way, I see alot of people who go this route nowadays since most ammo shelves are stripped bare or dip into ammo fund too severely. The sound and the feel of the 365 are spot on for realism plus I dont feel Ive just been out for 3 hours swinging a hammer nonstop. Please keep the reviews coming and look forward to a quiet cup of morning coffee in front of the laptop.
M17 hands down a better pellet pistol. I've never seen such a incredible co2 mechanism where I put a cartridge in and heard no hiss of air pressure leaving the gun. 👍
There is a fellow on you tube who makes barrel inserts to lift the point of impact on the M17 along with some other mods. Worth a look for fellow M17 owners.
Good morning Andy, wow loved today's show. I have 2 sig pistols. As you say they are fantastic all round pistols. Thank you for your hard work and imformative information. Enjoy the sunny weather. Cheers Simon from York England
Have a look at the Sig air reflex sight for the m17, finally got my hand on one this week and a great little add on, completes the look and aids in accuracy
Great review. The X5 is a big handful. Sadly, we have had a batch problem with the 365 in the UK. My local dealer has sent all recent items back and awaits another shipment to test before selling to me - can't wait!
yep - I had one of the first batch of 365 in the UK and broke in 1st mag!... so got my money back and never bought since... it's a shame as lovely replica
I got 124 rounds out of a co2 cylinder from my P365 on a cold day no less. However, I did have to warm the mag up after each reload to achieve that number. Don't have a chrno so couldn't tell you what kind of fps I was getting but I was still going through aluminum cans at around 100 rounds. Would love to have all of these guns. X-Five is on my watch list and seems to be out of stock even on the Sig web site. P320 will probably be the next purchase when the weather gets warmer. Right now it's just too cold to be shooting co2 without having to warm the guns and mags up between reloads. Even then, there is a noticeable power drop off between shots. Pump and springer action for now.
@@Englishelectrictype4 no mate, iam not old enough to retire. I carnt work, as i was in a car crash. And ended up with an op on my brain. So i struggle to walk more than 5 yards. Coordination is a problem. Iam in constant pain. I would love to work
Short time no see but I been on your chanel quite a while I kinda enjoy your chanel a good bit most pellet gun videos are quite decent good job nice videos enjoyable content I just got surprised looking at sig sawer p320 as 30 round mag got me surprised n I wonder if ya got the p226 are the mags comparable ? If yes that would fit plenty others including Gamo guns n others do be decent ima continue on watching cause I've been about to check the last sig before I look their 1911 thanks for the content keep them going also ... I been commenting less cause I switch I switch my phone cause of an issue n my newer has some keyboard lag stuck on screen etc not the best problem but sometimes works like rn out the instant
Love the stippling on the grip of the little P365,.. and maybe there's room in my collection for a little backup gun. I like to do fast target acquisition, reaction shooting, using an app on my phone that calls out random targets, at random intervals. I could add a 'backup gun' option to simulate a main gun malfunction so I have to swap to the backup,... righty, let's go look for holsters,.....
I'm a lady who'd like to get into the sport. I have small hands so the P365 would probably suit me. I've looked for holsters too but it would seem they're not available in the UK.
@Mr R There seems to be mixed reviews on them. Some say they're good, others say they're not. Maybe I'll look for something else. Always watch Andy's reviews so I'll have a look again at some of his other videos. I'm sure there will be something better that will suit my small hands 😊
@@Pythonaria Yeah, my google time lead to a few options, but no UK stockists. I wonder if some generic holster will fit,... maybe time to hit the forums and ask there.
Hi Andy top notch review as always,trouble is which one do I choose to add to my collection of replica pistols they all look the part and all appear to have a real good blow back action,will have to pop along to my local air gun shop and have a closer look..
Hi Andy, I really enjoy your RU-vid videos, they are very interesting, informative, and I've now purchased quite a few air guns/rifles thanks to your reviews. Keep up the good work. Any chance of reviewing the new Umarex Legends Cowboy Renegade Shell Ejecting Repeater Rifle Kit? Cheers mate 👍
Hello Andy, thanks for bringing up the great shows. I just wanted to know, did you get a chance to review Swiss Arms P92 (China model)? Because previous Taiwan model used to be £149.00 but this new model getting sold @£69.99 which is remarkably cheap.. That's why wanted have your view before buying it.
The P320 was a complete Fail for me. Jamming and crushing Pellets after some Time. Send it back an got a new one. Same Problem after a few Magazine. Silicone Oil for the Magazine didn't help. And I wasn't the only one with this Problem. Sometimes it was nearly impossible to release the Magazine because of crushed Pellets. I think, the Belt Mechanism didn't work properly. Too much rounds for that System. I was so angry about that Gun, it ended up in the Trash Can after meeting a Hammer. Later I purchased the M17. That one is a Winner. Improved Belt System, I think. No jamming yet after hundreds of Shots. Shots a little low but I'm using a Red Dot. Lasers are not allowed in my Country.
@@wasser5686 No, the m17 mag won't fit the P320. There are, however, P320 mags with only 20 shot capacity that are said to be more reliable than the 30 round mag. I haven't tried them, though, so I do not know if that statement is accurate.
I'm from the Netherlands and unfortunately here it's illegal to own a replica co2 😔 but if you have to choose between the CP99 compact or the P365 which one would you recommend? Greetings from The Netherlands and I love watching your reviews 👍👍
Hi Andy, there are so many models of CO2 Pistols, that I don't really know which one to choose. I want a pistol that has a lot of force in Joules, with pellets, that has repetition and is relatively accurate, with a rifled barrel. That it really serves for defense and to hunt birds. And very important for me, is that you can carry (Save) the Co2 cartridge in the gun without drilling it (as well as the Umarex HP50, which with just one blow, is ready to shoot). What do you advise me? All these new options that Guns bring, like Blowback are very nice, but from what I know, they consume air. I want something useful for hunting and defense Thanks and greetings from Chile
Hi y'all,can someone please tell me which pellets are the best for these belt fed magazine?I don't care much about velocity/power,but reliability,i mean I want it to shoot each time I pull the trigger with no jamming.Thanks .
Does anyone here on the p365 and if so are you having trouble with it cycling mine will fire one round and lock the slide back and I have to literally rack it every shot. If you're having the same problem as me and figure it out the issue can you please please let me know how you fixed the issue?
Hmm, I have these guns, and he did not mention how the pellet guns have long, bulky , triggers, the M-17 can use a Sig Air optic . Not very compleat reviews.
I own the m17 after watching your original review and love it. It needs a couple of tweets to increase accuracy but it's great for killing cans in the garden. Out of all my guns it's the grand daughters favourite. I just wish sig sold the replacement top plate to add optics over here
I have one as well. Great fun in the back garden during lockdown. Yes, it aims low and needs either adjustable iron sights or a red dot. Sig do the Air Reflex Sight but it costs a fortune in the UK vs US price.
have no idea whats so many so and so milligrams weight are, but if you said around half a pound or whatever, id know what you are on about ? yes im afraid theres still many of us around Andy.
I've owned both X-Five and M17, past tense please note. Neither were accurate enough, and both caused pellet jams only rectifiable by inserting a cleaning rod down the barrel, or in the X-Five case, driving out a pin to dismantle. And yes I tried JSB standard and RS, Geccos, Hobbys, H& N field target trophy, standard and green. I now stick to my Umarex, 1911, CP88, CP88 Target, non-blowback I know, but they all work every time and group at 15m. Shame really as the X-Five promised so much.
@@TuttleScott I had the p320, it also jams reallly often but i heard the m17 is actually good. its a shame that they didnt test it as the rotary magazine would be a game changer,
Great review Andy good selection of guns and the price is not bad .keep the reviews coming I look forward to watching as I love guns and shooting I just ordered the 1.77 Wembley nevess that you reviewed a wide ago thanks again david
Sigs are nice pistols, I'd like to try these Umarex air pistols out. I live in the USA and I can't even buy new model Sigs built in America because of the dictatorship type laws in my state.
Yes. You surely can. I casually carry a gas torch lighter in a pocket of my pants. Used the torch regularly to warm up the butt of my co2 canister on my MCX rifle (since an easy access to it during shooting sessions). 88g or 12g - no matter. Works well. Common sense (and fingers) will tell you how warm to make them. I just wanted to keep them from getting cold and keep the power somewhat steady - so I never excessively heatened them up. Never bothered to use a torch to warm up cartridges within a loaded co2 pistol though.
Silly observation but wouldn't higher altitude increase the FPS? Less dense atmosphere etc...P.S. Those were some really weird accuracy results! 'fliers' creating new tight groups and even going through the same holes?!
Good question, i think it would depend on how long your valve stays open, even then, you would probably have to get pretty far up for it to make a noticeable difference in an airgun. The less dense atmosphere would indeed create a greater differential pressure with the inside of the cartridge. You can have cold weather at sea level, just means less nrg in the cartridge and less nrg to warm it up after a shot.
Great Pistols - I have the X-Five BUT....... Highland outdoors the UK distributer have failed to answer any of my emails regarding after sales support. I'd never buy a Sig again based on that.
The 365 has major issues with the magazine leaking. I have purchased three now and all of them leaked after a while. So this issue makes this little pistol..... POINTLESS. Waste of money...and yes I do use pellgun everytime.
