I really want him to read my bed time stories

I am a total beginner . This was excellent , clearly spoken , and very informative . Thanks

This was an incredibly informative video. I've recently gotten into CO² pistols because ammo price has gone through the roof in the US, especially in my home state of Illinois (no, I DON'T live in Chicago, almost 6 hours south thank God). I purchased a Glock replica shooting 4.5mm/.177 BBs. The company I bought it from sent me a catalog. i had NO IDEA what the hell some of the terminology was. I'm extremely experienced in firearms (6 years in US Marine Corps infantry-combat in Somalia & Iraq) but air pistols are a completely different animal. I paused your video about ⅕ into to subscribe & follow on Facebook. Again, thank you for the info & I'll be watching more videos.

Dear Andy: First, I would like to thank you for all your videos, especially for the one for the “CO2 pistols for beginners”, the air pistol blow back was the definer for me, to buy. It was so clear and instructive that I make my mind as soon it was finish. I am a range shooter, I started shooting in 1976 with a 38Spl, I also own the 1911 in 45 ACP, but the cost of the ammo was high, so I both a 1911 in 22LR, even do the price differed was lower, the 22Lr matches the size and almost the weight in the 45, I reload ammo for the 45 and other handgun calibers that I own. The similarities in the weight and size of the Colt Commander Blow Back system in the Umarex CO2 BB is remarkable. To be honest with you, I never thought in an air gun because, in my mind I always thought it was like a toy. Time changes and minds changes. Thanks to you know I have the respect to the air shooter. Because of the Covid 19 the range is closed, you make it possible for me to practice in my house because I have the same filling of the 22 and the 45. Thanks Again Danny

Andy, so much appreciated your video for beginners . As an old guy just starting out in hobby, your incites into CO2 guns really cleared up a lot. Thanks again for a great video and channel. Tony

This man's voice and cadence, he's clearly gone to the Royal College of British Narrators.

You seem to be the equivalent of Hikock45 in expertise and charisma on air guns! 👍👏😃

Andy you’re so epic! I love how professional your videos are and how seriously you take them. Keep doing what you do best!

Totally love the video. His clarity is incredible. I was just waiting for him to say: "And now, for something completely different."

Just getting in to this hobby, thanks for the beginner info!

That is the most british fridge I've ever seen :)

Andy, you are the professor of air guns. We bow to your knowledge and expertise. Thank you for yet another great video.

I am a pistol shooter, primarily for target shooting and have been for some years. But recent events in America have made gun and ammo sales soar through the roof. Thus ammo availability is critically short and I have to husband my supply meaning I don't get to the range as often as I like. I was contemplating air pistols as an adjunct to my traditional shooting. This first basic video was excellent. It was concise, articulate and sans macho language and posturing. I would welcome more along the basics for air pistols, especially CO2 types. Which models are good, better, best, where to buy, how to buy, what to look for and in-home and outdoor targets. Also maintenance and safety are prime as well. Well done Andy keep them coming for your American audience as well!

Andy, many thanks for this beginners guide. Im a shotgun shooter normally. However with the current lockdown, i bought a CO2 pistol for back garden plinking and am enjoying it enormously. I have definitley got the bug. Thanks again for providing us noobs with the relevant info required. I've now subscribed to your channel and am really enjoying the content. Thanks again.

Thank you Andy. You do an excellent job of conveying relevant information to your views. Thanks for providing such a service to the community here.

Brilliant delivery. I have been using guns for 55 + years.

Bravo mate. This just the video I was looking for to be introduced into this fine sport. Now I have a better understanding and appreciation. Thanks!

god, his voice is so soothing and satisfying to hear. and i like the topic too. great video

Thank you for the great content. Getting into this now so need that noobie info.

Cheers Andy, now nearly March 2019 and thinking of the Sig M17 co2.

A truly one great informative video for beginners. :) Thank you very much for yet another entertaining video! Those 2x 8 round rotary flipstickmagazine airpistols are usually great. Always worked well. Love my CZ P-09. A bit contradictive thing with those is; that even that the rotary tip might be magnetic (for use of BBs) - the magnet only works for those hard steel BBs, but not with the softer lead BBs. And who would want to compromise their rifled barrel with BBs? :) The Umarex Desert Eagle is a good example of how power and blowback can lower your shotcount. My UX Deagle only shoots for about 7 good magazines - and then comes a fast drop to the point of the CO2 cartridge being empty. But all of the positive sides of that pistol makes you not to care at all of that *low shotcount (*compared to many other co2 pistols that is - 7 mags of 8 shots is a decent count in my books).

The video just about covered everything for the beginner. Well done.

Just found you! I just bought one and now I WANT study up on it! I'm so excited! Thank you and please keep teaching more!👍👍🇺🇸

Really loving your videos. Thanks so much for taking the time to share all this!

Still relevant and teaching rookies in 2021! Most of this was information I had already learned just by owning/shooting the few pistols I have and the things I have osmosed from watching my husband shoot his rifles. That said, I still thoroughly enjoyed this video, did learn a handful of great things (thank you for the ballistics visuals - so helpful!), and if it were still a question of whether or not we want more of this type of video, the answer is a resounding "yes." First time watching your channel; you've earned a new sub from the states!

Beginner here, thanks for the video I just bought a crossman GI 1911 blowback CO2, your video helped a lot

Subscribed Sir. Very informative and just all around impressed by the quality of your channel. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for going to the effort of making the video. It's appreciated.

Bought two pistols because of these reviews. Such good videos compared to the rubbish ones that come out of the USA.

When I saw the Orange Curd in your fridge, I had to go make toast with marmalade on it. Then I sat happily watching your vid drinking tea and munching on my snack. Cheers

Thank you ever so much for the very informative content. I've always been fascinated by guns but I've only been looking into this since lockdown started. Usually a lot of terms are thrown around which is very confusing for a beginner. I have subscribed to your channel a few days ago and I have not been disappointed.

Another cracking video from Andy. Explained for people like me to understand very easily. If only my school teachers had been so good I would have done well at school! Thanks Andy 👍

I Absolutely Love your reviews Andy,you're sensible,review the air guns I want to know about, And you have basically made my collection I'm proud of, I've gone from a tracker side cocking years ago to a 6 and a halfinch.44 Smith and Wesson magnum. 177 pellet,a walther ppq m2 and a weirauch hw97kt rifle and all because of your reviews and I've just ordered a Smith and wesson model 29 but the snub nose 38 looking one. You're the Absolute best reviewer on KZfaq or anywhere. Thanks so much 😊

What a charming channel, like the Hickok45 of Airgun's from across the pond. I take my hat off to you sir, you are so very elegant and above all so very very British.

Thank you for all the details!

You are so professional I love watching your reviews which covers everything for my level. Thank you

Excellent Video!! I am not a beginner, having been in the sporting word of co2 rifles and pistols for over 10 years, but you raised many valid points and I applaud you for that. Keep up the good works!! Thank you.

Really awesome content Andy. I learnt some valuable things from this video. Keep up the epic work.

The idea crossed my mind of making a 'Complicated stuff about CO2 pistols for beginners', but I see someone already did. Thank you for the release.

Congratulations on the video. I am a beginner in Brazil and here we received some models of co2 pistols (4.5mm 5.5mm, 6mm and .50 for self defense)

Thank you for the great information.Take care!

Exactly the video I needed. Thank you for the education. Great explanations. Top video 👌

Fascinating how things have progressed since I migrated to Australia where air guns are classed as firearms and you need a firearms licence to own any sort of air gun and even if the guns shown here were deactivated (i.e. made inoperable) they would still be illegal to own so be very grateful for your liberties.

Thanks to your well made videos I was able to make up my mind on what to get. My Uramex 9XP arrived yesterday, and as a surprise to me, my father bought me the TR50 because I'd been talking about it.

Excellent video. Very informative (on the raw basics of course) and enjoyable.

You can make programs to your hart's content love watching them and enjoy eny thing you produce as I have said glad you are back

Love air firing guns. My favorite 2240.crossman.and the video you have done on it. Yes would like more like this one.

Sir. Thank you so very much. I am glad to have stumbled across your channel, and I have been very impressed by your manner of presentation. I have learned a great deal ,. Thank you again.

Thank you so much for your professional intro!

Thanks for the primer on this subject.

Great video, informative and simply put. Good man!

Andy, You are doing a great job, really informative and useful info in a very understandably way.YES and i want this also on PCPs and of course the beloved springer to.Thanks fot good work :D

Great video Andy! I will save it to share on some FB airgun pages.

Thank you for making this fine video about compressed air pistols I find it very entertaining and I appreciate you trying to educate people on this topic I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors

Very well explained, thank you Andy...

Thank you so much for all your hard work! This video was really helpful to me, i am about to order my first A.G. and this video was just what i needed to get started and not screw up :) Cheers from Portugal :)

I know this was a year ago, but Andy, you my favorite Airgun review channel

Dude you're awesome. I have exploded view of the gun but it didn't show exactly where the trigger went and the spring. You're so patient. Thank you again. You have a new subscriber

Many thanks, Andy! I really appreciate your clear annunciation and I learnt a lot here 👍🏻

Andy, I know this is an older video, but as a new fan, you're the absolute best airgun channel on this platform. Thank you for your expertise and engaging videos. ✌️

Your video's and airgun reviews are really good..

Great info! I have a couple of air guns, but I also love in the U.S., so I have lots of actual guns, too. I want to get a few air guns to use in my backyard, eventually, as well. There are a lot of differences between air guns & firearms, so your very informative videos are really helpful! Thanks!!

Great tutorial. We are ALWAYS learning and when you think you know everything and get complacent, THATS when mistakes and injuries happen. Always be safe, even with air guns.

Thanks for the info. I'm new to PCP's & hope you have or are going to do 1 of these videos for them. I'm going to check now. ✌🏽

New to air weapons, so this is great. Saw your review on the Remington Sabre which I bought and I've just ordered a 2240 to tinker.

Thank you! Please, more videos like this! Could you do one on gun safety please? Both in terms of weapons handling, and also how to set up safely and legally for home plinking?

Thank you so much this is very informative and lots of good info for a noob like myself

Thanks to you Sir, I bought today a GLOCK 17 Gen 5, and I absolutely love it. Thanks for your show 🙂

Your voice hypnotized me..... I like it so much!

Tank you sir for this channel

Outstanding presentation. I just found your channel and look forward to many more viewings.

Your videos have come so far they are informative, entertaining, and funny. I really enjoy them. From a new air rifle enthusiast Many thanks Ady

Hey Andy, I already wach almost all of your videos, but this one is perfect for those about to begin in airgun world. Thaks Alot. Regrats from Cancun.

Really great introduction. Thank you from Las Vegas.

Excellent tutorial.

keep them coming mate,very informative and interesting.

This was really helpful since I am in the market for an air gun. Many thanks!

THANK YOU

Great video. Thanks. So well presented and in an easy to understand way for a newbie (that's me) bought a 'Luger' type many years ago (1956) and it lasted a good while even though I had no idea about the drop of oil and the cartridge. Looking forward to learning more. Subbed.

Extremely informative video, thanks!

Great info for me as a beginner...thx for that. Turned on the notifications as i like all your video’s and like to stay updated. Keep up the good work. Greetz from Amsterdam(XXX)

GREAT video! Well done!

I LEARNED SO MUCH!!!! THANKS DUDE :)

For someone who knows nothing about airsofting this was actually quite interesting. Thanks.

You have a beautiful voice and a great taste in jam

Thumbs up... keep them coming ..

This is a great video even now. Thanks Andy.

Great work,very helpful

I didn't realize this wasc4 years old, but I like the idea of info for beginners.

Andy, I have just come across your site. I am a novice to airguns and I found it quite informative. Thanks.

Just bought my first one. It’s the WTP 1911 .177, 4.5mm. About 2 and a half days out can’t wait for it.

Love your videos and the time you put into them. I would enjoy informative springer videos 😃

Great content. More of these beginner ones please.

Good job. I'm a beginner with BB guns and I certainly picked up some useful info. Thanks, great video.

I had an incident with putting a scope on a CO2 pistol I had. It was just a basic rifle scope and I just wanted to see if I could shoot any better with it as long as it fit the rail, which it did. So I mount the scope. I get it all set up and load the BB, take aim, and about the time I start that long pull on the trigger, I realize that my left hand isn't under the barrel as I anticipated. It was under the scope, with my left index finger directly in front of the barrel at *point* *blank* *range.* By the time I was able to process that thought, the trigger had gone through 90% of it length of pull and there was no stopping what was about to happen. It goes off and straight into my finger, where it resides today. It bled like a stuck pig for a just a few seconds until I wrapped it up and put pressure on it long enough. It was dripping so much it was just about a steady stream. So I grab my finger and squeeze until my buddy brought me a paper towel. Wrapped it up until it stopped, then I put a band-aid on it and we kept shooting...without the stupid scope 🤣 My buddy kept trying to convince me to numb it up with a piece of ice and he'd cut a little slit in my finger above the BB and pop it out like a pimple 🤣🤣🤣 Hahano. Lmfao.

Thank you very informative.

That was helpful, thanks.

Big respect, love your work

An excellent introduction to Co2 pistol shooting. Nice one.
