The ASG CZ-75D Compact is a fully licensed 1:1 scale replica of its real world counterpart. Complete with trademarks, this pistol is definitely a quality airsoft pistol for those who are looking to getting their first quality airsoft pistol, or perhaps a step up from what they have now.
One of the first things players notice about this gun is the weight. The construction is mainly of a dense polymer, with metal internals to handle the force of the CO2, and overall coming in weighing just under 600 grams (roughly over 1lb). It feels comfortable in hand due to the rubber grip, which features a checkered texture for added grip.
While the gun is a non-blowback, it does feature a functional hammer that drops when the trigger is pulled. The mechanism is double action, which means that pulling the trigger will also pull back the hammer and drop it at the same time. Additionally, the gun does have a working safety mechanism, which can be applied with the hammer up or down.
While the gun itself is non-blowback, the slide does slide back partially to reveal the hop up unit, which can be adjusted using a hex screw. Pulling back the slide will cock the hammer, which for those who are looking for a bit of a more satisfying action of being able to pull back the slide to 'load' the weapon is a nice touch.
The magazine itself houses both your ammunition and your CO2 cartridge, unlike the 'Stick Mags' some non-blowback guns use that house the CO2 in the gun itself. The magazine is a single stacking 15 round magazine which is extremely easy to load. Simply pulling the follower all the way down locks it into place at the bottom, and then feeding the BB's through the opening in the top. Once the BB's have been fully loaded, there is a small tab that is protruding from the rubber cap on the bottom of the magazine that can be pushed to release the follower, and you're good to go!
Finally, the statistics! Out of the box and with a few shots out of the CO2 cartridge, we were seeing pretty consistent results at around the 350 FPS mark with a 0.2g BB. The shots were nice and straight, and you can use heavier weight BB's to account for heavier winds, as well as adjust the hop-up to accommodate for the heavier BB's. The gun does fit in the ASG Strike Systems CZ-75D locking holster, which makes it much easier to keep your pistol in a secure place. Additionally, on the back of the grip there is a lanyard loop for attaching a lanyard, such as the ASG Retention Lanyard for additional security. Overall, this pistol is great for anyone looking for a quality pistol that is conservative on CO2, without sacrificing quality!
When considering top picks for airsoft pistol brands, the ASG CZ 75D Compact Co2 Pistol stands out as a notable mention. Its fully licensed 1:1 scale replica, detailed with trademarks, emphasizes quality and authenticity. Featuring a blend of dense polymer construction and metal internals, it offers a comfortable grip and reliable performance under CO2 power. This model exemplifies the blend of functionality and efficiency, making it an excellent choice for both new players and those looking to upgrade.
