Powerful,looks like a Glock,holds 12 BB's,nice sight system.
Loading system,trigger pull,DA only.
The Gamo Auto 45 is a good little pistol. It's quite powerful, will penetrate a pop can at 25+ feet and go right into plywood. Accuracy is good (I have not sighted mine in yet but it's fairly accurate as it is). It fires up to 12 BB's and pellets are fired one at a time.
Build quality is nice. Metal top with some kind of polymer bottom. It weighs 1.1 lbs, feels good in the hand and has a nice weight. Overall, feels like it will last for a long time. It does have a lack of accessories, but a laser sight can be fitted by using an adapter rail which you can buy at www.phoenixguns.co.uk.
It has a DA only trigger. The trigger pull is stiff, but with practice it becomes easy to fire 12 BB's in a couple of seconds. It does not leak; you have to screw the CO2 cylinder all the way in until no "hissing" sound is heard. When screwing in a C02 cylinder, the C02 will release for a second or two, but if you screw it in quickly you can avoid this. Remember to use Gamo Round Ball lead BB's.
Overall great pistol, if you live in the US, this pistol has a very cheap price. If your like me and live in Canada, the price is a bit high (I paid about $137.00 for mine) but it was worth it.
