KWC CO2 Powered Russian PM Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol

"Does not get better than this. I've had mine for about two years now. I clean it with paper towels and spray it down with white lithium after every two game days and it has never failed me outside of when I never lubed it when i first got it. If lubricant gets on the slide release it may automatically release upon inserting a mag but this will stop as you use the pistol. It shoots loud and hits very hard. The heel mounted mag release is something you will get used to with practice. The grip and mag cause its scale to be a bit larger than a real steel Makarov but that is mostly necessary to accommodate for the C02 cartridge, though the additional size makes it very comfortable to hold. Mags can be loaded about twice before co2 begins to run out. Holster options are a bit limited as it will not fit in surplus Makarov holsters due to its size. I run mine in a Bianchi m12 modified with 550 cord, however there are definitely better options. With its performance and its price, this is one of the best options for any Russian or Soviet kit, though I don't recommend it as a first pistol unless you are a big fan of Makarovs.

"Extremely solid pistol. A very modest amount of recoil, as you would expect. The build quality is fantastic, everything is exactly how a PM would function. I'll write out some simple pros and cons, just so this review isn't me talking about how beautiful it is

Pros:
Real metal
Removable orange tip for pictures and display
Very lightweight
Modest CO2 usage
Smooth operation (slide, trigger, safety, ejection)

Cons:
Extremely inaccurate past 30ft, BBs just sorta go wherever they want
Plastic grip, minor issue

Overall very satisfying to use and handle. Definitely would recommend to anyone who likes the feeling or look of a PM

"Great metal body, nice slide and hammer, only nit-pick is that the mag isn't completely solid throughout, so if you want it on camera it won't look like actually houses bullets.

"TLDR: 10/10 pistol, would recommend to anyone for any use.
I put it through a year of absolute torture and abuse and it held up.
It recently died, so I bought another.
The new one performs perfectly, and all the magazines I had still work for the new one.
I use .25g bb’s for it and it runs around 320-350 FPS.

"I have had this pistol for one week. One week is all it took for me to realize the quality of this pistol. I'm new to owning gas blowbacks and I can definitely recommend this to anyone in the position I'm in. I've never worked on a gbb, never cleaned one, never really knew the ins and outs. The Makarov PM is the most simplistic design ever and it's the easiest to maintain. You won't find many reviews of this pistol online in English. There are a few in Russian, Polish, Chinese, Japanese, etc. However this pistol didn't need a manual or a review. This pistol is so realistic and identical to the real PM that i learned how to disassemble the gun by watching a Brandon Herrera video on the Makarov.

Pros:
Heavy as hell. I legit thought it was made of steel when I picked it up
Durable
Snappy recoil, hard kick. Especially since its CO2.

Cons:
Paint wears away fairly easily. I dropped it on the ground and left a nice little scratch on the rear sight. Nothing else was scratched or damaged though.

Whether you're new to pistols or not, collector, milsim junkie, get this pistol. You will not regret it.

"This thing is my favorite gun, it works like a dream!
It is an absolute LASER! Running .25's with this is the best option.
Need it for close range? Use it.
Need it for long range? Use it.
Need to provide cover fire? Use it.
Out of every single gun i've ever shot. This is the best. Buy it!

"Needs to be cleaned every now and then but it works as everything need range here need accuracy here i use .20 in it and lasers people only thing i can say is wish mags where a little cheaper at the time of writing this they 40$

"This pistol is fantastic. Internals are very simple and easy to get to. It works very well and seems to be very accurate. I was able to compete with a buddy using a stock CYMA VSR-10. They both seem to shoot at the same range. I was using 0.25g bbs and no hop and it shot very far and straight. (The hop-up is adjustable, just remove the slide) Also the orange tip can be removed to reveal 12 or 13mm positive threading. I am not exactly sure which it is but I know it is less than 14 and 11mm as that's what I have... I personally had to Dremel out the orange tip but you can probably just screw it off with some effort. My only gripe about this gun are the magazines. The lip to pull the spring back when loading is barely there and its a living hell to pull the tab and load the mag. Despite the downfall of the mags, its an amazing sidearm and outperforms most stock AEGs in range.. I've seen this gun go on sale for $78 here before and it sells like hotcakes.

"I bought this gun several years ago and sold it around a year ago only because I needed cash and I regret it now that i'm getting back into Airsoft.

It was a very reliable, solid gun that felt great to shoot with the blowback.

PROS:
- All metal besides grips that would be polymer IRL too
- Disassembles like a real Makarov
- Clean blowback system, kicks and looks good
- Quality magazine build

CONS:
- Has very proprietary parts so don't lose any

"Good pistol. Good range, good accuracy, and a very satisfying recoil. This pistol I would suggest to use with .25 gram bbs. Great little pistol for indoor and outdoor fields. mags are very efficient. Mags a little stiff to insert and pull out, but becomes easier after you break in the pistol.
pros:
Good range
Good accuracy
Durable

cons:
mags are super pricey ($40)
can't find any after market replacement/upgrade parts(to my knowledge)
so be careful not to break anything on this weapon.

overall a 5/5 pistol. worth the $130. Note: the grip on this pistol is wider than the real steel version. This is due to the mag being being super wide and large. Don't ask me why it's designed like that. also, the magazine pull tongue is also bigger than its real steel counterpart. I know small inaccuracies like that can be a turn off for some airsofters. But if you don't care about those things, BUY THIS PISTOL!

"This is like, one of the only post war commie pistols out there. I could not find another good Makarov. It goes with my NVA loadout perfectly.

Pros
-Shoots far (I haven't measured but I swear I saw a BB fly like 75 meters)
-Hits hard
-Concealable
-Perfect for Warsaw Pact/communist loadouts.
-Looks pretty real
-All the real features are on it
-Field strips just like the real thing
-Easy to use
-Durable

Neutral
-Orange tip comes right off. Great for milsim immersion, however it may break a few laws depending on where you live. For example I wouldn't use this pistol for cosplay unless you wish to glue the orange tip back on.

Cons
-Extremly lose safety switch, which can be dangerous
-CO2 is sometimes hard to get out if you screw it in too hard
-Magazine is hard to load

In short would I recommend this? Yes, especially if you're doing a Rusfor or NVA or whatever loadout that uses/used PMs.

"Perfect gun if you have a RUSFOR kit or if you want a c02 canister cqb legal sidearm. Very satisfying getting kills with this little guy. Only con is that they are out of stock and the magazines are out of stock. pls restock i want to dual wield these so bad xd

"This gun is very good
I have shot this gun a lot and it is very accurate and powerful. This gun takes down like the real steel version which makes it easy. There is a hop up that is accessible by taking the slide off. One thing to note is that the grips are plastic and not very ergonomic, however thier is rubber ones you can buy. I also find that the magazine catch is stiff, This can be fixed by using and getting used to it and grease
Pros:
-heavyweight
-metel construction (aside from plastic grips)
-accurate
-powerful
Cons-
-magazine catch is stiff
Other than that great side arm for airsoft!

"This pistol is amazing. I got mine on Red wolf. The hop up is extremely easy to get to. It takes down like a real makarov and the accuracy and range is one of the best I've seen out of pistol. Amazing for finishing off my russian kit.

"Ive had this gun since july 2020 and its been great the only real problem ive run into is the trigger spring failing but then a week later fixing itself, i have no idea why? And i dont dare take it apart to find out why. If this happens you can take a pen spring and lodge it in front of the trigger bar for a temporary or permanent fix.

Pros
Nice and compact.
Good range for a short barrel length.
Never jamed or failed during an op, ive done 3 heavy use field days in a row without cleaning or oiling and had no problems.


Cons
Pistol is very rough on your hands, mag release and mag spring are stiff and will stay stiff, but hey thats how old Russian pistols are.
Very few modification options this pistol doesn't come with barrel threads and i dont know of any good ways of attaching one.
Not much information about the pistol, i was originally going to try and fix the trigger spring the correct way but i found 0 quality videos or articles for repairing it so be careful and creative.
