Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Beretta Mod. 84 FS is relatively long, with a medium resistance. This firearm operates in single action only, lacking double action. The extended pull accommodates the BB chamber mechanism in the magazine. During the first half of the trigger pull, a BB is pushed into the breach/barrel. Some friction was observed during the BB loading stage, and it is advisable to lubricate this area of the magazine to smooth out the trigger pull.

Accuracy: Testing of the Umarex Beretta Mod. 84 FS at 30 feet, using a semi-rested position (sandbag support at the front and standing at the back), resulted in a 10-shot grouping slightly above the center bullseye and well-centered horizontally. All 10 BBs remained within a 1.5-inch radius, with most clustering around a 1-inch group. The Umarex Beretta Mod. 84 FS achieved a velocity of 363 fps on a moderately cool day, suggesting it may reach significantly higher velocities than the claimed 360 fps in hotter weather conditions.

Build Quality: The Pistol features a primarily metal construction, contributing to its solid and sturdy feel. The only plastic components include the grips and certain magazine parts, such as the CO2 tab. The painted finish is a satin black. The fit and finish of this Umarex CO2 blowback BB pistol are of high quality, with minimal slide slop.

Realism: This CO2 Replica of the Beretta Mod. 84 FS has all the fine qualities of the original: It closely resembles the original in appearance and feel, includes a responsive blowback action, and field strips similarly to the actual Beretta 84 FS. The design features a full-size drop-out magazine for CO2 and BBs, as well as a functioning slide catch/release that locks the slide 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 Beretta 84 FS (Cheetah).
• Crisp blowback action.
• Working slide catch and release (Locks back after last shot).
• Realistic working ambidextrous metal safety.
• Full size dropout magazine that holds BB's and CO2.
• Can be field stripped like original Beretta 84 FS.
• Fully Beretta licensed.
• Recessed barrel for realism

Cons:

• Has the exposed CO2 tab on the bottom of the magazine.
• Trigger is a bit long and tight because of how BB's are chambered.

Comments:

Umarex really came through on this one, perhaps they are listening to their customers more and more because time and time again we ask for the same things over and over again with our Replica Airguns: Metal parts where metal would be found on the real steel version, blowback operation for that realistic kick and single action trigger ability, a full size drop out magazine that holds the BB's and CO2, ability to field strip again like the original version, a recessed barrel so it does not look like a toy gun or a better way of saying it... make it just like the real steel version but have it shoot BB's :) I think Umarex got most everything covered with their new Umarex Beretta Mod. 84 FS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol.
