Good Points: Inexpensive plinker, reasonable build quality, shoots OK.
Bad Points: Sights are windage only, the cocking arm appears to be made of plastic, virtually the whole gun is plastic, feels rough to cock.
General comments: Cheap plinker, should have fully adjustable sights though, feels light in the hand, ok as a fun gun, would not recommend it for a general target/plinker, suggest potential buyers to pay the difference and get the Beeman 2004, I'm getting one soon

This is a marvelous gun, whether you are a novice or a more experienced shooter. It is excellent on the range. However i wouldn't recommend it for children, as the box also does not and also it is highly dangerous-in adult supervision, this could be the perfect way into target shooting as a sport.

The Gamo P-800 is my second air pistol I have bought. It is good value for money, being an entry level sort of gun. Its a lot higher power than other air pistols that are only a little cheaper in price. It is a break barrel spring powered pistol so there isn't the ongoing cost of buying Co2 cartridges for it. It fires all shapes of pellets and is a single shot per break/cock. From 5 to 10 meters I find that this pistol will break thin walled V bottles, but will not break jars or thicker glass bo ...

I had been thinking about getting myself an air pistol for a few months when I got my Gamo P-800. I'm not well off money wise but have always purchased a quality product for any hobby I have tried. I really was not sure if this would be a five minute fad but I had done some reading and decided to purchase the Weihrauch HW 45. By chance I found this review page and whilst reading some of the comments, I was surprised to read that the inexpensive Gamo P-800 had received some excellent reviews f ...

Despite the gun being made of plastic it still seems pretty robust. Not very accurate but for 40 quid it's a great gun for a bit of backyard target shooting. At a short range I quite often get rebounds.

When i got my Gamo P-800 home I was pleased with it's look and feel. I got a 177 caliber so I took a few shots and it when through a can at 2 meters then 4 then 6 at 8 meters it made a dent.

I bought this Gamo P-800 air pistol in a pack with pellet trap and pellets for €65. I was pleased since the first shot. For shooting at 6 meters this gun is well fitted and the pastic? It feels so massive, that I think if you throw this gun as far as you can, after it it will work without no problems.(nt) the power was low at all. i tried different pellets but i can't reach the velocity of 100m/s. I measured with my self made chrono with RWS Hobby 4.5g: 94m/s. this is about 2 Joule. I tried ...

Here in Germany you can buy the
Gamo P-800 as new for 40Eu. For the price the gun is really ok.
It is well built, I could use it as a hammer :)
One can shoot everything that fits the barrel, put a bit of cooking oil behind the pellet and have dieseling experiments. The accuracy is surprisingly good for this price range but at times the sight needs readjusting. I think is the barrel changing position during reloads; it might be possible to tune it a bit, but I never tried. The power is not ...

Surprisingly the Gamo P-800 was nicely finished for a "plastic" pistol. Its got good balance and is a doddle to load and shoot. Its not as powerful as I initially thought but certainly not under-powered. Target accuracy was good, due I think to its combination of light weight and balance. Great little gun, I totally recommend it.

Bought my Gamo P-800 as a try-out gun to see if I'd enjoy air gunning as much as I did when I was in my teens. It has certainly re-kindled my interest. It's very well built but the barrel seems to be off centre so the rear sight is turned quite far to the right to compensate. Also rear sight not adjustable for elevation, ok at 10 meters but start having to guess a bit for longer ranges. Another problem is the sight moves by it's self due to recoil so after 20 -30 rounds you have to re-adjust. I' ...

Nice little pistol for the price £40, I find this pistol nice to hold and light,it shoots a fair distance about 3 to 400 yards but it dosen't seem to be very accurate. I find it difficult to use the sights to improve my shooting its like they move, yes it could be me but I also use a crosman 338 and with this I can shoot a baked bean off the top of a pencil at about 15 feet without hitting the pencil. OK that might not be impressive but I'm 43 and my sight isn't as good as it used to be, ...

Having my .22 Webley Premiere stolen from my garden shed the P800 had a lot to live upto, but to it's credit the gun feels nice, looks nice and shoots very well with a lot of power, and for the £40 it's a bargain. I would recomend this gun to anyone who wants value for money. It's robust and the power is still there even though it's been fired at least a thousand times.

I'm not a air pistol or gun lover, but need the gun to protect my property. I use the GAMO P-800 to intimidate any bandits (if the p-800 don't intimidate, my bennelli m1 will take care of it)
I have already two pistols a DIANA sp50 that was very inprecise and a bruni leslie, but they have broken due to the use that I give to them. I've had the p-800 almost a year now and she don't give me any problems.
So if you want a "pest control" gun very reliable the p-800 is waiting for you.

The GAMO P-800 is one little spring air pistol very reliable, is not very heavy and is well balanced good for plinking or pest control the p-800 is powerful and very accurate.
For is barrel size it has an enourmous range of fire. Good for young shooters

We are two twin brothers that live in a small town near Melbourne we do everithing together, our region is very savage and and we don't have much to do.
One year ago we bought two Gamo p-800 for hunt desert rats, snakes and birds. In the begining we couldn't hit a can at 12 yards but with many hours of training, our hiting percentage was becoming better, one day my brother kill one small bird at 16 yard with a clean shoot in the head. That day is a mark in our lives we love to hunt and we lov ...

I have bought this Gamo P-800 air pistol for use in my backyard to shoot at cans and empty shotgun shells.
It's a good gun to keep the cats far away from my bird cages, and is very effective on rats, if somebody wants a cheap and good gun the Gamo P-800 is perfect.
