Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol is typical single action only with a super easy short take up (some of which is the trigger safety engaging), followed by a crisp predictable light release. The quick slide cycle allows for some quick semi auto shooting with the G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol making it a great fast action shooter with quick target acquisition.

Accuracy: Moving on to the accuracy portion of the test we were able to get close to a two inch grouping fairly well centered shooting at a fresh paper target setup 30 feet away from a rested shooting position with our hands on a sand bag up front and sitting in the back. We were having some problems with the shorter double stack 25 round magazine not chambering rounds consistently which meant we had to reset our shooting position many times but even so we were able to get close to a two inch grouping.

Build Quality: Like pretty much all G&G Airsoft guns including the Piranha series, the G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol build quality is really good. Fit and finish are excellent with virtually zero slide wiggle, we like the two tone stainless slide and chrome finish barrel version but the all black looks really good too. As with the entire Piranha line, the SL also has an updated Ceramic Whirl Cylinder Valve technology from G&G that should significantly help with freezing in colder or fast shooting situations along with a new Hop-up system you can easily adjust without taking the Airsoft gun apart by using the bullet shaped tool.

Realism: The G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol as far as we can determine not an exact replica of any specific real steel gun in production but it does share its looks and feel to that of the Glock but perhaps with an even more modernized look to it. Of course the SL version is elongates. You will find realistic function to the G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistoling terms of it’s operation with its full blowback action, working slide catch release, magazine release trigger safety and takedown lever allowing for it to be field stripped easily.

Pros:

• Good balance of metal and plastic for a balanced and light feel.
• Partial slide Blowback operation should allow for even better gas performance and snappy operation.
• Fiber optic sights front and back for easy target acquisition.
• Has a working trigger safety.
• Smaller grips perfect for people with smaller hands. Larger hands work just fine too!
• Comes in a well presented soft foam form fitted box case.
• New Hop-up systems for quick and easy fine adjustments with no need to field strip the gun.
• Long bottom rail for adding accessories.
• Comes in all black and two tone black and silver.
• Comes with two magazines (20 round short and 25 round extended with fake bullets)
• Comes with high quality speed loader.
• Threaded barrel tip for add on mock suppressor if you want to.

 Cons:

• Sights are non-adjustable.
• Not an actual replica of any specific gun I know of but does share some Glock attributes.
• Wish the extended mag held more rounds?
• We like the hard shell case better that comes with the other Piranha versions.

Comments: The G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol is for sure the flashiest version of the Piranha series of G&G Airsoft Pistols with its extended barrel and extended magazine with the fake bullets. We also imagine the extra barrel length will add some addition fps to the velocity and we will find out when we make our Field Test Shooting Video for it shortly. We are hoping the extended magazine holds more than an addition 5 rounds but again we are going to find out in our Field Test Video so be sure to watch that one!
