Trigger Pull: The trigger mechanism of the G&G GS-801 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol presents a unique experience. It operates on a single-action mode, where each shot automatically cocks the hammer thanks to the blowback mechanism. The initial phase of the trigger pull involves a considerable amount of slack with minimal resistance, leading to a heavier release point unexpectedly without any significant trigger movement. This characteristic requires a bit of practice for predictability, especially since the laser sight activates during this slack period if set to on.
Accuracy: The precision performance of this airsoft pistol remains to be seen until the completion of the Field Test Shooting review. I am eager to evaluate how the integrated laser sight aids in achieving tighter groupings. A link will be provided once the shooting test review is available.
Build Quality: Predominantly metallic, this air gun boasts a solid construction and a substantial feel, well-suited for its compact size. The grips, laser, and CO2 tab are the only plastic components, with the magazine also being entirely metal. The gun's finish is durable, showing no signs of wear even on frequently touched areas.
Realism: The G&G GS-801 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol doesn't mimic any specific real-life firearm but shares aesthetic similarities with the PPK and Makarov, albeit being somewhat larger. Notable features include the realistic blowback action, an open ejection port, and a functional slide catch release.

Comments:
The G&G GS-801 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol stands out with its substantial metal construction, realistic blowback action, integrated laser sight, and the ability to be field-striped. Its compact size and weight make it an ideal secondary airsoft weapon. With its array of features and overall build quality, I anticipate impressive performance in the upcoming field and shooting tests, suggesting it could be an exceptional value airsoft pistol.

I struggled a bit with this pistol during this Field Test Shooting review, mainly just in the accuracy portion. Perhaps the G&G GS-801 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol did not like the .36 gram BB's I was using, maybe a bit too heavy or perhaps the hop-up did not agree with the size of this Airsoft round. Either way, my accuracy test did not do so well! I may give this gun another go at some point using a different Airsoft BB and perhaps simply using the iron sights over the built in laser just in case that was the issue? As per usual, I tested this pistol out using my Chronograph to see what kind of actual feet per second rating I get from it. I fired 5 rounds from the G&G GS-801 using .20 gram plastic Airsoft BB's and this CO2 semi auto blowback pistol shot a very speedy 415 fps average. Next up was the accuracy test, I decided to setup at the 30 foot mark and I shot a total of 10 rounds from my G&G GS-801 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol using a semi rested position, (sand bag for a hand rest and standing in the back). My grouping was all over the place vertically (about 6 inches) but not so bad horizontally (about 2 inches). It makes me wonder if the hop-up was playing into it or maybe my laser sight was moving around up and down?
