    Bought this gun and it was GREAT. Great power and good accuracy, had it for a few months and well so far so good no jams or co2 leaks. If your looking to by a c02 pistol I would recommend this one!

    The only problem I found with it for me is that it dosnt have a magg as you open the top bit of the gun and load there, not a problem but i like having mags ^^

    Ok first off the Gamo P-23 drains my co2 way too fast, it takes forever to load its not very accurate. It always jams dont ask me how a bb gun jams but it does, my air soft gun goes faster that it. It's a terrible gun.

    I got myself a Gamo P-23 pistol. It shoots very nice but the price is a little too high.I left a CO2 unit in the gun and didnt shoot with it for aproximately a year. When I put a new CO2 unit in the gun it it had a leak. Poor quality and too much plastic. Nice loading system though.

    Ive had my Gamo P-23 for about 5 years now, and I have never had one single problem with the gun. No co2 leaks or busted seals, no misfires. Gun is very accurate because of its rifled steel barrel, and also packs a good amount of power with muzzle velocities of up to 410 fps.

    Accuracy, reliability, comfortable feel, powerful.

    Overall i give this gun a 10/10 for performance but only an 8 because after about 30 shots (at most) the gun starts to lose its full power. I was amazed by how accurate and powerful the p-23 really is. i can put holes through a CD ROM disc from about 10 yards away! On the down side i would have to say its overall kind of a pricy buy but then again i bought mine for 20$ from a freind hehehe. All together i would say the GAMO p-23 is a great buy and an amazing gun. Iv had mine for 2 years and its ...

    The looks and feel and balance are great and very accurate with the laser sight. Mine uses up Co2 rapidly is this normal I mean I hear it leak out is this fixable or not? I don't know how old my p-23 is when did they first make them, well recommend Gamo P-23 CO2 Pistol.

    I got my gun about a year ago and it has served me well but not impressed me much. when i first saw the gun i thought it looked fantastic but on closer inspection i could tell it was mostly constructed of plastic. the loading is strange and uniqe it is good as no magazines will get lost or broken but it isnt so good because it is fiddly and takes a while also i read before that u can load 15 pellets but in mine ive only ever been able to load 12 bbs.
    when shooting the gun it is quiet loud but n ...

    I really wanted the product, but gave up after second try, as I said before, maybe it was a production problem. I hope it got fixed.

    It's a fairly good pistol for target practice. The trigger is fairly decent. It's fairly accurate with pellets making a 1 inch group at ten yards. I never used steel BB's in it. I used Gamo lead round balls and they were equally as accurate. It has enough power to penetrate soda and beer cans and break glass bottles at close range. It's great for plinking and general shooting. At 400 fps, it's not as powerful as some other pistols. However it doesn't really need to be it was designed as a genera ...

    I am very pleased with my air pistol, it is accurate, powerful, and versatile. I have had this gun for about four months, and so far it has worked great. It is very powerful, sometimes I can shoot clear through a tuna can without the can falling over. In real terms of power, it will shoot through about 80 pages in a phone book with a half full Co2 tank. The Co2 lasts about 80 shots. It's accuracy is pretty good, at ten yards I have got it shoot 2 inch groups with BB's, with pellets it shoots eve ...

    Loading takes just a few seconds, it can fire about 12 BB's in no time at all, .177 pellets are single shot only. The accuracy isn't brilliant but it doesn't really have to be as this gun is intended just for casual plinking but I do think it's better then most other BB guns. The majority of the frame is made from plastic which I don't really like but it doesn't really affect the performance at all. For simple plinking this is probably the best pistol to get overall. I have the P-23 combat model ...

    Over all a fairly well balanced, reasonably accurate, fun to shoot air pistol. EZ to load. I'm getting approx. 30 rounds at full power with a new CO2 cartridge and another 50 at decreasing power levels until the air runs out. I start at my distant targets and adjust to closer targets as the power slows. This gun is not a toy. At full power (410 fps rated) I nail 4 inch groupings at 30 to 40 feet. The only down sides are: the long trigger reach, hard trigger pull, and a few rough edges on ...

    Hi, i have had my Gamo P23 for 2 years or more i am very happy with it i have just started putting pell gun oil on the tip of the co2 to keep it shooting several more years. I have tested it indoor with my pellet trap i can shoot a better group with it than my Crosman 357. I am so satisfied with it i am thinking about a Gamo PT 80 for 8 shot pellet shooting. Well just thought i would give my opinion on a very good co2 pistol

    I bought this gun because I loved the way it looked and the feel of holding it was fantastic. The gun DOES shoot STEEL bb's, many people and websites say that it should only be loaded with lead bb's, but this is not true. Many places state this because the barrel is rifled and they claim it could deform the the rifling grooves. After I heard this I signed on to www.gamo.com and read the FAQ section on pistol ammo. It clearly states that the gun CAN be loaded with either lead or steel BB's. ...

    I got a P23 last year; I was excited because it was my first Co2 pistol. It cost me around USD90 in my country and no after sales here (Gamo NEVER reply emails). So I have to fix it by myself.

    I was disappointed with its performance, the Co2 seal easy to damage and leak. I had replaced it for 3 times (it cost me USD2 each for a CO2 seal). Finally, I had to cut a piece of tube (from my car tire). Drill a small hole in the center to replace the official seal. It works much better!

    On the oth ...

    The metal hammer is fully functional. The sound is much higher-pitched than the other air guns I have.

    I bought this gun to teach myself point shooting and shooting ariel targets. It works well enough for that. Use LEAD BB's only.
