Trick Out Your Airgun

Tricked Out Performance for Air Guns

Admit it–the kid in you is still in there, so why not unleash him? It’s time to trick out your airgun. Add a little performance to your air rifle, make your pistol an attention grabber, or just have a bunch of fun shooting a tricked out airsoft rifle.

Perhaps all you need to do to your air rifle is top it off with an RWS 4-12 x 50 illuminated scope. The bigger profile will give your rifle a professional look and will allow additional light in your scope to help you stay zeroed in on your target. With the proper accessory mount, you could add a laser for fun shooting, or maybe it’s time to treat yourself to a Chronograph. A compensator and extra rotary magazines are available for 850 Air Magnum users. It may be that you could get more accuracy or velocity by trying some different pellet shapes. Shooters of the Beretta Cx4 Storm rifle seem to like the Walther PS 22 point sight. It’s also stylish on a number of larger pistols like the Desert Eagle.

Air pistols are easy to trick out. There are different mounts, laser sights, point sights, flashlights, and even grips that you can add to your air gun. Umarex USA has an LED flashlight on their closeouts page. Smith & Wesson air revolver owners could change out barrels to go shorter or longer while CP88 shooters might add a "competition" compensator to their pistol. Wood grips are a nice touch. The easiest thing you can do to make shooting more fun is to have some extra 8-shot pellet magazines on-hand. If you load them before you start shooting, you’ll have less down time between mags. Adding a laser, like the new Walther Shot Spot universal laser, to your air pistol is an easy addition and gives the pistol a tactical look. Of course, there are kits available that are already “tricked out”. Check out the popular Walther NightHawk and Colt 1911 Tactical or the new Beretta Px4 Storm Recon.

Tricked out airsoft guns are also cool. Some come with point sights, front grips, flashlights, and carry straps. There are some spring operated Walther airsoft guns that include a detachable compensator in the package and Tactical Force offers an MP5- and M16-style gun that’s already loaded up with tactical accessories.
