    Good Points: it is more or less .45 caliber
    easy to use
    easy to fill
    accurate to 50 yards within 1.5 inches (remember the size of the projectiles at some 200 grains that I was using)
    scope mountable rail on top
    good quality wood and the metal is a nice finish too; just a good looking air rifle!
    immense power; will send a heavy metal spinner suitable for .45 ACP flipping nicely at 40 yards by way of reference
    Will handle all length bullets because of the breech loading mechanism


    Bad Points: fairly heavy if such things bother you; they don't me lol
    EATS air. It has perhaps 6 or 7 shots then has to be filled again from either a pump or a bottle.
    Can't fill the gun from bone empty with only a pump; MUST have an airtank to get 'er started
    The bore is a bit off from the stated .45 caliber; a few hairs bigger
    it is only single shot; I prefer repeaters
    it is LOUD; think firearm loud and I don't mean a .22 caliber lol.
    Replacing the breech seal o-ring requires nearly a full teardown of the gun and it is a PAIN; horrible design in that area; this is NOT the same as the Shinsung breech o-ring that can be done with no dissassembly


    General comments: The Sam Yang BIG BORE 909S is listed as a .45 caliber rifle. I find that it is just a bit bigger bore than that, with my .45 caliber reload bullets falling out of the barrel if I tilt it for a downhill shot.
    It will shoot round balls nicely as long as one doesn't let it roll out. It is too tight a breech for a patched ball unless one were to reduce the caliber significantly.
    I do like this gun, but don't shoot it that often. It is very loud, eats air, and costs a lot to operate. I reserve it for special occasions and will use it for hunting later on in life.
