Trigger Mechanism: The trigger mechanism on the Umarex SA10 CO2 Blowback Pellet and BB Pistol aligns with the common characteristics found in rotary magazine pellet pistols. The blowback feature cocks the hammer, facilitating a lighter single-action type trigger pull. However, the length of the trigger pull mirrors that of a double-action mode. While the hammer is cocked, the trigger requires less force, though the initial part of the pull rotates the magazine.

Performance Test: In our standard indoor Sea Can Field Test Shooting sessions, velocity is tested first. The Umarex SA10, capable of firing both 4.5mm Steel BBs and .177 caliber pellets, was tested with both types of ammunition using a Chrony Chronograph. Three shots of each were fired to calculate an average fps velocity. Notably, the 6.9-grain lead pellets achieved a higher average velocity of 376 fps compared to 304 fps with the 5.1 grain Steel BBs, likely due to a tighter barrel fit preventing CO2 leakage and generating more back pressure. In the accuracy test, .177 caliber lead pellets achieved roughly a 2-inch grouping over eight shots. The majority of these shots were tightly grouped within a half-inch, with three outliers stretching the group vertically. Using steel BBs widened the groupings to about 3 inches, with one shot significantly off-mark, though the shots remained generally centered.

Construction Quality: The Umarex SA10 exhibits excellent balance and solidity. It features a metal slide and polymer frame, alongside numerous internal metal components and a full-size, drop-out metal magazine. The craftsmanship, from fit to finish, is commendable.

Design Authenticity: While the Umarex SA10 doesn’t replicate a specific real steel firearm, its design shares similarities with a Sig Sauer, incorporating unique elements. It boasts authentic features such as blowback action, a comprehensive drop-out metal magazine, an open barrel design, and field-strip capability, enhancing its realism.

Pros:

  • Impressive weight and build quality.
  • Equipped with an accessory rail for attachments.
  • Innovative magazine design supports quick reloading and the choice between Steel BBs or pellets.
  • Rifled barrel for improved accuracy.
  • Aesthetic gold barrel with a detachable tip for accessory options.
  • Integrated slide catch and safety feature.
  • Simplified field stripping process.
  • Subtle warning labels.

Cons:

  • Lacks adjustable or highlighted front sights.
  • Decorative trigger safety.
  • Not modeled after a specific real firearm.

Comments:

Anticipation for the Umarex SA10 CO2 Blowback Pellet and BB Pistol was high, and initial impressions suggest a well-constructed airgun, pending further testing. Despite typically favoring replicas, the SA10's design and functionality are appealing, including the distinctive magazine and the flexibility to use both Pellets and BBs.

Extremely cool !

Super realistic - love the gold accent fluted barrel, The inner barrel is rifled leading to accurate shooting, and a great overall look and feel. Nice finish in black. Blowback action is on point during shooting this pellet pistol. full upper slide and magazine metal design - create the realistic weight of a real pistol paired perfectly with the metal magazine. It's not made of cheap pot metal. Beautiful cut-out in the slide to compliment the barrel and chamber. high-quality polymer lower - strong plastic lower with grip and comfort formed perfectly into the lower, comes with additional Picatinny rail, works perfectly for small light and laser set up. Disassembly for cleaning is simple, just 1 lever and pull the slide back and up then forwards, leaving 5 parts to clean if needed. Well designed It's lots of fun for the price point, just make sure to have lots of c02 and pellets/bbs. Dual ammo capability + 4 8-shot disks are easy to reload and swap. 1 c02 cartridge outlasts all 4 disks you get with the magazine. Highly recomend this pellet pistol.

Nice but no rifling

Nice design but somewhat falsely advertised. Particularly like the clip with the 4 rotary magazines and integrated co2. However, I was disappointed to discover it had a smooth bore. No rifling. I noticed several rounds left a sideways imprint on the pine target backstop, indicating pellet tumbling in flight. This definitely affects accuracy.

very fun/great gun

this gun is very fun to shoot with great blowback, good accuracy, only thing is that the barrel shakes a little bit but it's not a problem, one other thing I noticed was that It does misfire sometimes which isn't great and a little annoying but it isn't like the end of the world

SA10 Blowback

Outstanding! Great value for the money . A pellet blowback for just over 100 loonies. Innovative magazine holds 24 L pellets ( and 8 bb's meh ! I'd rather shoot pellets in a rifled barrel but you have the option Lots of power. No problem putting holes through soup cans and with the large yellow dot rear sights the front sight are easy to find. I put a drop of white paint on the front sight and although they are not adjustable and shoot one inch low and to the right at 10 yds , I was able to get a grouping of one inch with the odd flyer. This pellet blowback is more accurate than my skills. Nice smooth trigger with Glock style safety. My only minor dislike is the theatrical threaded barrel and end cap .Showed it to a friend and after the first shot they wanted to know where they could buy one. Thanks for the consistent great service from Replica Airguns
