Sometimes for me, it's all about the feel and experience and not the power or accuracy. I put this gun in the same category as my Umarex Colt SAA. It's so satisfying just loading it and cocking the hammer that anything else is just secondary. Great review!

Yes I’ve got the blued version, put “Ivory “ grips on it , never been fired, just ogled.

I just bought a Glock Gen 4 ,pretty impressive . Here in the US where I live ,I have no restrictions on real guns ,carry ,conceal or just out in the Desert target shooting ect... These days real ammo has been hard to get ,so I started collecting and shooting airguns . My buddy has a reall Glock 17 Gen 4 ,the BB gun version is so close . Your video inspired me to buy a Gen 4 . XDM will be next .

I do own 4.5" version. I like the feel of it, but pistol didn't last unfortunately. The one I have is replacement of the one which broke after 4 weeks. Something broke off inside trigger mechanism and blocked trigger completely. I did get replacement, but this one started to "falling apart" after 4 months. Firstly, field strip lever broke off (so to strip it I have to use pliers to turn the locking mechanism). After that small piece of cast iron fell out from inside. After stripping I found small bit missing from barrel mechanism. It still works though, however I am not using it anymore. Got myself Gletcher Colt 1911 Operation Overlord and Dan Wesson 715 pellet with 6" barrel ;)

@garypritchard3446 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the review Andy. I bought one of these in black from a reputable company who I won't name because I think there is a basic flaw in the design. The one I bought has 2 faults. 1) It leaks the co2 from the cartridge seal in approx 10 mins..you can actually hear it. 2) The field strip down doesn't work. With regards to the leak I think what is happening is that when you tighten the co2 up it cuts into the seal causing a leak. I followed the manufacturers instructions and applied some silicone oil to the co2 cartridge to protect the seal. I did not over tighten. I basically think that the friction on tightening the co2 cartridge twists it which cuts the seal. I tried and checked 4 co2 cartridges. The cartridges were ok with no burrs etc. As for the strip down not working...I give up! Hope this helps. I will post an update when I get a report from the warranty return report.

Would like one of these 4.5s in black-silver. Not just gotten myself to it since they do not bring anything really new to the game except for the looks of the model. They do look good - and the blowback has gotten it's praise before. This 3.8 in the video did shoot as low on target as my Glock 17 gen4 did when I bought mine. But I do prefer my blowback USP over the gen4 G17. My blowback USP though did not shoot as low as my G17gen4 or this reviewed XDM. But all of the airpistol replicas mentioned above are pretty effin awesome and well built. Oh man. I love these Friday 9am coffee breaks.. Especially with a new AAR video featuring a co2 replica pistol. Got about 25+ co2 replica pistols myself and I do love most of them. A big thanks to Andy amd crew once again! 😊👍

It's based off the airsoft model in 6mm, just now in 4.5mm. Most of these replica air pistols and rifles are, the airsoft ones have no problem going through beer cans etc.. and often shred them faster than 4.5mm bb plus you get the joy of full auto on many pistols too. I used to scowl at the thought of owning a 'plastic ball shooting toy' but since my first experience of shooting a GBBR on full auto (H&K 416C), the realism of the replica, feel of the blow back and decimation of the can in 1 second flat sold me; I don't even play (too old 45) but out of my 80+ replica guns in my collection 95% are airsoft including a lot of sniper replicas but that's another rabbit hole to go down....

@hwezdarik 2 жыл бұрын

Good to know.. I have also decided to go for some airsoft pistols. Usually look better than then stell bb versions and have mostly full blowback. The P320 military version or the tan FNX look great and are airsoft pistols. The Shadow 2 looks great, the steel bb version..

Nice review as always but, on this occasion I will forego the opportunity to add yet another BB pistol to my armoury - there's a limit to the number of birthdays one can claim in a year. The comment about being first in the queue to buy the XDm - was that a dig at me for nicking the HW110 Grey Laminate that you had your eyes on? Nice piece of kit, you would enjoy owning one, I can recommend a good dealer.

Very good video, but I just can't bring myself to like anything BB. I use a Crosman 2240 for target up to 30 yards and a replica revolver, also ·22 for fun and closer shooting. The 2240 is mightily powerful as I'm sure you're well aware, and, to be fair, my replica's not far behind it. The range is certainly there, but it falls a bit short on accuracy, being a much shorter barrel. It's not easy to find good quality multi-shot pistols at ·22 but I keep looking. I do have a ·177 Schofield, which, although it's smooth bore, is very good with pellets. (Much better than BBs). Keep the videos coming, they really are extremely good. Clear, precise and with a great message for the most important facet of shooting - safety.

Good informative video again. Thats looks a belter of a pistol. It looks nice, a true replica of the real steel, built like a tank... But it could have done being a bit more powerful. As you said its not one for knockdown power but i would want it makin holes in tins and hearing how quick it hits the target from when you pull the trigger. Its one of the least powerful co2 pistols around today and not a gun that it is pretty enough to just be displayed and bought on looks alone, so for that reason i think iam out. All the best from lancashire.

@bolothin1780 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, it mimics real glock. Originally Answered: Why do Glocks' barrels tip upwards when the slide is locked back? That is a patented part of the cycle of operation and is attributed to John Browning. The tilting barrel allows for minimal slide travel and mass required for the pistol to feed and eject reliably.
