Colt Defender Semi Automatic Metal Frame .177 Caliber BB Gun Air Pistol

Excellent weapon. Right out of the plastic blister container I was impressed with the very accurate look, weight size and feel of a true Colt defender. Ease of loading the built in mag-rail and CO2 slot with the grips slid aft. Pressing the true weapon mag release button releases the grips to slide open, snap closed with a solid lock. Safety is accurate to the real weapon and quickly snaps fwd or aft. From the moment I commenced firing at the box it was shipped in, I knew I was having too much fun. 16 BBs gone in (way less than) 60 seconds….grouping on a duct tape center hole sharpie circle at 10 feet was all in, first time out. As far as varmint dispatching, the plastic trash can behind the target had several holes from the 10’ range. Here in S FL there are numerous threats to my hunting dog, most notable are cane toads which secrete a fatal poison from their skin. 3 shots at close range made short work of a large one this morning. We also have large swamp rats that I haven’t tested yet but will I’m sure soon enough. Water moccasins are another threat and the quiet nature of this pistol makes it perfect for these backyard pests. Overall I’m very pleased and look forward to putting a lot of BBs down range.Highly recommended!RR

Bought as a gift for my FIL. He loves it. He had a few air guns back in the early 90s. Tech is pretty much the same, they've just streamlined a few things and the copies of all the real platforms out there is super neat. Scored this one just based on reviews, and it has been worth it. He shoots it everyday. He loves to pop cans and crap in the back yard. They have a gigantic property. Can't beat it for the price. Toss in some bbs and a box of cans, fun for days! Be careful, you'll shoot your eye out, kid!

This review was taken from my review on AirgunDepot's website-I had bought this gun from a local retailer about 6 months ago, and while I absolutely loved the gun, at the time I needed the extra money for myself. I ended up returning the gun.This week I decided to reorder the Colt Defender after receiving a gift card for Christmas.I love this gun... Period, and of course I recommend it, so lets just go into the pros and cons of the gun itself.Pros:>Heavy and Realistic Feeling- The feeling of holding this gun is just breathtaking. The whole gun is constructed of metal (the grips are made of high quality plastic), and it weighs about 1.7 pounds and feels great to wield. This gun actually weighs nearly as much as the real Defender.>Looks- Everything about this gun mimics the real Defender. The only things missing are the signature Hogue grips and the Single-Action trigger, but I find that Double-Action is a bit better than Single-Action anyway.>Accuracy- Because there is no Blowback involved, the accuracy is great. 1-2 inch groups every time. The front sight also has a white dot painted on for target acquisition.>C02 Consumption and Velocity- I can get in between 80-100 shots off a single C02 canister. The velocity tops off at around 440-475 FPS, which means that the gun "COULD" be used for basic defense.>Holster Compatibility- Due to the realism, this gun fits all standard holsters, as well as concealed carry ones.CONS:>The only con I have for this gun is the built in 16-shot magazine. Although it would alter the design a bit, the addition of removable mags would make for easier reloads.

The product performs effectively and closely mimics the weight and appearance of a real pistol, offering great value for its price. However, a significant drawback is the limited range of compatible ammunition; only round pellets can be used. Unfortunately, these air pistol are not suitable for use with other brands, such as ".177 Crosman Destroyer Hunting Pellets" and "RWS Superpoint Extra Field Line Pellet Gun Pellets .177."

Got this colt defender today and all I can say is wow, very accurate and easy to use. Sat and shot a 100 or so bbs and didn’t go through a whole co2 cartridge. To me it seems very quiet, durable and looks awesome. Seems very well made, fits great,very little plastic parts which is a relief. Did not leak and has easy to use and reach safety. Truly enjoy shooting it and would highly recommend. Will definitely be getting another one

Immediately after opening the plastic package I realized how cheaply this gun is made. The handle and spring assembly is made so cheaply it looks like it came from the dollar store ! The loading mechanism is total garbage, loaded the CO2 cartridge again cheaply made turn screw, loaded up the BB's into the most cheaply rickety spring loaded mechanism that doesn't even keep the BB's straight, and made with the cheapest material you could imagine. Fired my first three shots which went left right and all over definitely not accurate and before the fourth one could come out the whole mechanism jammed ! I emptied reloaded and started again and once again after the 4th or 5th shot the babies get jammed up in the spring mechanism and has to be released shaking or pulled out and start over again. I could not fire off more than 3 to 5 shots before having to open up the mechanism clear the jambabies and start over, TOTALLY FRUSTRATING AND UNIMAGINABLE ON A BRAND NEW CO2 PISTOL ! The few shots that managed to make it through the pistol without jamming was so inaccurate and firing and no is near the target one going left one going right absolutely the worst air pistol I've ever encountered in my lifetime. Save your money folks this is total garbage and I am returning it.!
