Use of a Umarex PPK/S CO2 pistol for practice indoors

lgvenable · Jan 19, 2015

Has anyone got any experience with how well the PPK/s Umarex pistol replicates shooting a PPK/S?

I'm considering getting a CO2 pistol and building a trap to shoot indoors but wanted to see if anyone had already done it and what their experiences were.

And in the spirit of correct forum usage, I did three search on ppk, ppk/s and CO2 pistols, and dint turn up any threads via search that answered this question. Thanks up front for your help.

I've considered getting an airsoft version for training purposes. Airsoft allows me to shoot "attackers" from a draw. Think a Co2 would be too harmful for that.

Should've answered sooner, but the Umarex has an extended grip to accommodate the CO2 and doesn't handle any way at all like a real PPK/S. Feels similar (kind of), but is way lighter, cheaply made. For an $80 BB gun it's pretty okay with certain mods, especially to the CO2 cartridge screw, but it's a TOTALLY different gun. I have a Baikal Makarov CO2 which is the real deal, but set up for CO2, and I have a Makarov 9/18. Identical. So maybe I'm spoiled.
