UmarexRuger Mark IV Break Barrel .177 Caliber Pellet Air Pistol

Good value for the money. Bought it because I love shooting my Ruger Mark II and this is similar in feel. I purchased it for indoor plinking at a steel trap. It is much lighter in weight than the Ruger but it easy to cock the piston which allows for quick reloads. It's fairly accurate with the right pellet although I had to experiment to find one that would give me a tight group without too many fliers (flat head match style). The trigger pull is as bad as other people have mentioned but I found a good YouTube video on how to disassemble and polish the trigger mechanism. It took about thirty minutes from start to finish and it reduced the trigger pull from 10 lbs to just under 4 lbs.

Seems like a well through out design.The good:Easy to loadVery quietPowerful enough to have funGood sightsFeels good in the handThe bad:Very heavy trigger pull, crisp, but probably 12+lbsA little too lightweight for comfortNot powerful enough to put down a squirrel, rabbit, or dove. Sufficient for the smallest of birds.Single shotThe safety comes on every time the gun is cocked, I get the point, but it's incredibly annoying.Overall a pretty good gun, probably my favorite pellet pistol, I just really wish the safety didn't engage every time, and that the trigger was a little lighter.

I bought it for under forty plus the usual Uncle Sam levies. I was a bit apprehensive about the amount of force it would need to break open the barrel, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is not a monumental effort. Loading a pellet, releasing the safety and shooting are all easy. However, as others have noted, the trigger needs a heavier pull and that tends to spoil the aim. I expect the effort to decrease over time as more pellets are shot.On the positive side - no CO2 cartridges, no finicky springs, easy as cake. On the negative side - being lighter than usual, and the trigger pull needing more effort, aiming is a roll of dice. It is fun - no doubt, and well-made too, as I saw nothing that can snag my skin or clothers, and it looks nice too.Overall, it is two thumbs up.

High quality all metal pellet version of the Ruger MKIV 22 target pistol, licensed by Ruger and made by Umerex.Looks and feels like the real thing.Like most products made by Umerex, quality and performance is Verry good.It's a break barrel single shot. Wish they made it using one of Umerex's rotary mags.

This little break barrel air pistol is decidedly so-so. It looks good and feels good in the hand. Break-barrel charging is convenient and cost effective. It will be fun for very short-range backyard plinking.However, it is extremely low powered. It will not penetrate a Shoot-n-see target at 5 yards, much less make the intended color change. With the rear sight maxed out for elevation it is still grouping approximately one inch low at 5 yards. The trigger pull is also mediocre. It has a perceptible slight take-up and then breaks with considerable extra effort. This limits accuracy potential for most shooters.I bought this pistol to replace an ancient Daisy Powerline 717 which I shot for over 30 years until it recently gave up the ghost and rebuild efforts failed. With it, I could regularly hit the lid of a pellet tin at 25 yards. Challenging, but very doable. This pistol cannot hit that target at 7 yards without holding over the top of it and shooting blind.Beer cans at 5 yards? Great fun, have at it. Serious target shooting at anything more than 5 yards away? Forget it. Trying to kill anything with this? Unethical. It is far too low powered. Caveat emptor.

I don’t know what all the complaints about the trigger are about? Unless I got the only good one. The trigger is firm but smooth and predictable. I find the accuracy to be acceptable. A soda pop can doesn’t stand a chance. The pistol is a low powered fairly quiet back yard plinker. Do not expect it to perform like a match target pistol! It just ain’t going to happen. For me it shoots Winchester lead pellets at a average 200fps and and GTO alloy pellets at an average of 320fps. I think it would take ultra light plastic jacketed pellets to reach the 360fps as advertised. If you want to hunt soda pop cans in your backyard at 10 yards or less without pissing off the neighbors this pistol fits the bill.

I was excited to read all the good reviews. Looking forward to have a plinker for in house from lazy boy. To my shock. On the fifth shot I click off the safety that resets on every shot. Pull the trigger nothing. Tried everything. No good. Returned. Had in my hand for fifteen minutes. Nice looking. Had the Ruger name. Bought to add to my Ruger pistol collection. Yes it was not a true Ruger but expected more from a pistol licensed by Ruger. Thought they would have some input on quality. Thankful for Amazon's easy return policy.For the first four shots agree with many of the other reviews. Very little power and trigger pull heavy.

Pistol looks like the Ruger version but feels light and cheap. Trigger is absolutely awful. Super hard to pull and very erratic. Not bad for the price.
