Total: $96.66

Type: BB pistol
Manufacturer: Umarex
Model: Makarov Ultra
Materials: Full Metal
Weight: 680 g (1.5 lb)
Barrel: 3.5 Inches, Smoothbore
Power Source: CO2
Action:Semi-Automatic Single Action Only
Ammo Type: 4.5mm Steel BBs
Ammo Capacity: 16 Rounds
FPS: 350

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Legends Makarov Ultra is fairly long but in terms of resistance it is about a medium pull. There is no double action so single action only but the pull is longer than most single action triggers to accommodate the BB chamber mechanism on the magazine. Basically a BB is pushed into the breach/barrel during the first half of the trigger pull, and then the trigger is released.

Accuracy: I tested the Umarex Makarov Ultra Legends from 30 feet back shooting at a paper target using a semi-rested position (sand bag up front and standing in the back). My 10 shot grouping was just a bit below the bull’s eye but fairly well center left and right. All 10 BBs stayed within 2 inches with most of them grouping even tighter than that. Not bad at all! This pistol also got a respectable 333 fps on this cool day so I would expect it to hit the claimed 350 fps during summer weather.

Build Quality: Being a pretty much an all metal gun the Umarex Makarov Ultra feels solid and sturdy. The only plastic parts on the Umarex Makarov Ultra are the grips and some magazine parts like the CO2 tab. The painted finish is a nice metallic dark grey, a definite improvement over the previous Umarex non-blowback Makarov glossy black finish.

Realism: The Umarex Legends Makarov is a licensed replica of the Makarov PM 9x18 Russian military and police pistol. It is a very close copy in both looks and feels, has a very heavy blowback action and field strips just like a real Makarov. You'll also find a full size drop out magazine that holds the CO2 and BBs and a working slide catch/release that locks back when the magazine is empty.

Pros:

  • Good price for what you get!
  • Decent accuracy, power and CO2 usage combo
  • Nice replica of the original Makarov PM
  • Heavy Blowback action
  • Working slide catch and release (Locks back after last shot)
  • Realistic working metal safety
  • Full size dropout magazine that holds BBs and CO2
  • Can be field stripped like original Makarov
  • Fully Makarov licensed
  • Much better finish than original Umarex Makarov

Cons:

  • Has the exposed CO2 tab on the bottom of the magazine
  • No recessed barrel
  • Trigger is a bit long because of how BBs are chambered
  • Safety does not de-cock the hammer like original

Comments: Umarex really addresses the majority of the shortcomings found on the original non-blowback 4.5mm Steel BB shooting Makarov. They added the much asked for blowback operation, made the slide catch/release operational, upgraded the magazine to a full size drop out CO2 and BB magazine, gave it a more realistic paint job and even replaced the plastic safety with a metal safety. The only trade-off is the loss of the short take-up single action trigger and perhaps a few fps. All in all a big improvement over the first version which even today is still a very good BB pistol.

Nice little gun

I have had this gun for quite a while now. For 100 bucks, and if you like small guns, you can’t do better.

Makarov complete test

Very good replica because very realistic. The blowback effect is very good and the breech remove as on the real makarov it's just awesome! Precision is very good for a smooth 3.5 inch barrel. The only drawback? The exposed CO2 tab on the bottom of the magazine. Anyway, I recommend it.

My first Legends Replica

Purchased this pistol as per the recommendations on this site and from watching many review videos. As an owner of several restricted pistols that all adhere to the Canadian barrel length regulations, its so sweet to hold this small little beauty in my hands - I feel like a secret agent! If you live in suburbia, beware, because the loud blast of this pistol might gain you negative attention from your neighbours. My only wish list item: hiding that silly C02 screw tab. All in all, the Makarov Ultra is one of the best bangs for your buck.

Nice version of PPK

Nice little gun, build is a bit on the light side but it is oneup on the old Walter's PPK-S as all the workingsWORK.Mod your cylinder piercing screw to a slotted one byremoving the wing thumb screw.Use the hole in the screwas a guide for making a slot into the threaded part of thescrew. When done cut off the none threaded part.Now you have a better look and no wing nut to get in theway when removing the clip. D,

My last CO2 Blowback 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol Field Test Review from my latest acquisitions of New Umarex Air pistols. For many people that already liked the Umarex Makarov CO2 BB pistol, the Umarex Legends Makarov blowback version may just have everything you where looking for that was missing from version One? Well let's see... It has blowback - check! It has a working slide catch/release - check! It has a full size dropout metal magazine - check! And it's still all metal, field strip-able and has single a single action trigger! Sounds pretty good so far... So how does the Umarex Makarov Ultra CO2 Blowback 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol shoot? Well like the other new Umarex CO2 Blowback BB pistols I just tested, the Beretta 84 FS and the Mauser C96, I was not disappointed.
