Action: Double Action Trigger

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on this gun is medium and somewhat lengthy; predicting the break point can be challenging, but once accustomed to its extended nature, it performs adequately.

Accuracy: This marked the second attempt shooting the Colt Defender at a target from 20 feet in a standing position, and results were consistent with the initial outing, yielding a respectable 2-inch grouping. With further practice, achieving a 1.5-inch group seems feasible.

Build Quality: Given the Colt Defender's predominantly metallic composition, durability concerns are minimal. However, the lack of functional components—such as the hammer, slide release, sight adjustments, and rear safety—being purely decorative was somewhat disappointing.

Realism: The Umarex Colt Defender, a licensed replica of the genuine 45 auto Colt Defender pistol, closely mirrors its design with the exception of the trigger mechanism

Pros:

  • Almost all Metal Construction.
  • Good Accuracy and Power Combination.
  • Very Solid and Durable Air Gun.
  • Decent Replica of the actual Colt Defender 45 auto.

Cons:

  • Most of the Mechanical Parts are Moulded into the Gun.
  • Ejection Port Metal Material is only a Plastic Sticker.

Comments:
This is another low-cost replica air gun from Umarex designed for the more entry-level buyer. It's a very solid and well-made gun being that is mostly metal. There are many positive aspects about the Colt Defender: it's fairly consistent and accurate, has all the Colt licensing and trademark, has a good 440fps, uses an all metal design, and comes in at a very affordable price.

The gun you get after a fancy blowback gun

I had a Tanfoglio Witness 1911, which is a very faithful replica, but not a particularly good BB gun. Then I got an Umarex Colt Defender, and it's kind of the opposite, it looks good at a glance, but it's not a very good replica in terms of details. However, it is a genuinely great BB gun. The FPS is MUCH higher than the Tanfoglio and it uses a lot less CO2, I get about 100 rounds per cartridge versus maybe 60 for the Tanfoglio. And the Defender will blast holes through steel cans unlike the Tanfoglio. The extra power makes it more accurate over longer distances, and that makes it more fun to shoot. Both are great guns in their own way, but when it comes to actual shooting, the Umarex Colt Defender has it.

Awesome gun.

Piggybacking on another review as it specifies the pros and cons for myself as well. Pros: Cheap. I like the weight and general fit to hand. I use it to improve point & shoot handgun style shooting. It holds 16 in the clip and this BB pistol holds 16 shots. It works real well for honing eye/hand coordination. Good way to get in the needed practice without burning up a lot of expensive ammunition. The trigger pull is kind of long, but using the point & shoot tech. you use the middle finger on the trigger instead of the index finger so it's not a problem. The sights seem to fine. But with P & S they are not used, and the longest distance at which I practice is 25 feet. I have been getting 96 shoots from one CO2 cartridge. Cons: I really don't like the the logo in the middle of the grip. Would've looked a lot cooler without it. Can't think of anything else.
