Does anyone own one of these?
Know anyone who does?
Anything?
I've found nothing on the web or at Beemans site for that matter...!
Seems interesting.

ya, i've been trying to find a review on this pistol somewhere. Nobody tried it yet?

I had to buy one in order to find out what it was like.
The online retailers specs were contradicting as some said smooth Bore barrel and others said Rifled and yet others said nothing.
It's a heavy, powerful, high quality gun with some cheap short cuts ie. smooth bore & a cheap flimsy barrel housing (yet metal) hinge design that's similar to others but with less thought.
It shoots fairly straight for a bb pistol.
Pellets give it a little better accuracy yet still not what it could be if it had a rifled barrel. Good for 10 yards.
The four 6 round cartridges are a plus but then they're 6 rounds not 8 or 10 like other guns.
It's really a shame because it is a good looking and feeling gun with a lot of power, metal, detail and without a horrible thumb screw hanging off the bottom.
For the money though, there are better shooting guns.

I've requested several times in "suggest a review" in both C02 pistols and air gun pistols yet there still is no offer????

I don't understand why Beeman ruined this pistol and had this pellet gun built with a smooth bore barrel?
Also are they so ashamed of it they won't list it on they're own sight.

I can't understand why Review centre won't allow it to be reviewed after several requests?
So I reviewed it here and I have to give it a dis-heartening 6 out of 10.

Thanks, you convinced me not to buy it. I'm leaning heavely toward the (Umarex) Colt 1911 and possibly the (Umarex) Beretta FS92. Both all metal and with excelent reviews.

The ad I saw said rifled barrel...that's odd

I the beretta FS92 blue with wood grips and no compensator..... the cold 1911 looks pretty good too.
