Umarex Ruger Mark IV Break Barrel .177 Caliber Pellet Air Pistol

For a 50 dollar pellet pistol (2024) it is very nice. After owning for 1 year here are my suggestions, as soon as you get it, clean the barrel and spray hopps lubricant in the barrel, spring and safety switch, highlighted yellow. After spraying lubricant it will shoot very low for the first few rounds but then will be dead accurate. Accuracy increased after lubrication from the one photo to the next. Photo with tight group was five shots. Take your time with this spring pistol and work on hand grip, stance and finger position, out of the box you will need to take time to adjust sights. Only complaint is after 1 year of use and abuse the pin at the cocking mechanism, highlighted red comes loose and I have to push it back in. Honestly can't say I've babied this thing and it's been dropped so that's probably user error.

I really like this pistol, pretty accurate representation of a Ruger .22/45

Great replica. Low powered but it was expected and although I read a review saying sights only good for 10 ft (not 10 yards), I have shot this accurately on factory sights at 34 yards. The stock trigger pull is insane and will effect accuracy without a doubt, even so I was hitting small targets at distances that were not meant for this air pistol. Some trigger work made for an easier pull and improved tighter grouping (not that one should be concerned or focused on this with a low power air pistol at distance). Sights are great, break action is smooth, shoots reliably and looks great. I shoot this air pistol over my stronger powered air pistols and easy for kids to operate as well! With a collection of high power and strong break action this is just easy and fun! I recommend adding it to your collection or be the start of one. Trigger work is highly encouraged.

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.

This pellet gun is trash. We were shooting old spray paint cans and the pellets didn't even have enough power to dent the cans. The trigger weight is too heavy and makes it difficult for younger people to fire accurately. My son is a great shot but the trigger is so heavy it causes the gun to drift off target from having to pull so hard when shooting. It's no fun to shoot when you can't hit anything because of the poor quality of the gun. It also sets the safety every time it's cocked and cocking it is a chore too it's really annoying, poorly designed.

I went through 3 tins of pellets and it still works as new, also added a laser red dot sight which makes it very accurate.

Not enough power to kill a field mouse at 1 meter. Accuracy is ok if you can overcome the 20lb trigger pull. Build quality seems ok, the sights seem a little cheap. But barrel, connecting rods, and frame all feel solid. It shoots, but not a great experience.

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.
