Here’s a list of nine great .177 CO2 powered handgun options currently available from Umarex Airguns. They vary in price, design and function—but they all share one common (and important) trait: they’re loads of fun to shoot.

If you’re a fan of air guns, nothing beats some quality range time—except maybe the thrill of the hunt. But what about the rest of your free-time, when you’re home, kicking back on the couch? Don’t despair. Real Air Gun Hunting, is a new show that shows just what air guns can do.

The Cowboy Rifle is a part of our Legends line. The Legends products are our homage to iconic designs from the past.  Whether a war-time replica, or, in this case, a tribute to the guns of the Old West, we wanted to create an accessible, honest, and realistic replica that would please fans and history buffs alike.

This gun needs very little introduction. Even Californians can recognize the DL-44 Blastech Blaster. This one, though, is special. Not only is this a one-of-a-kind reproduction of a classic galactic war film prop, it is also a working BB gun. This blaster began life as an Umarex Legends M712, and it’s being auctioned to benefit the Student Air Rifle program.

Umarex is now building licensed versions of many rimfire favorites. If you own a Ruger 10/22, you should check out Umarex’s latest addition to that gun’s storied line. It is spot-on. If you carry a Walther, Umarex has you covered there, too.

FORT SMITH, AR (April 15, 2019) – The Fort Smith JROTC Grizzly Air Rifle Team worked hard all season and it paid off.

Shooting sports are as rare as hen’s teeth in most American high schools. Northside High School, in Fort Smith, Arkansas is one of the exceptions. The Fort Smith Grizzly JROTC Air Rifle Team placed first in four invitational matches, and Umarex USA is proud to support the team.

Beretta’s M9 is one of the most common pistols of the later half of the twentieth century. The long open slide design is instantly recognizable. While the standard M9s (and the other Beretta 92 variants) are just about everywhere, the updated M9A3 is much harder to find. Now Umarex and Beretta are teaming up with a full-auto M9A3 BB gun.

Airsoft is fun. I was introduced to airsoft almost two decades ago, in my brother-in-law’s back yard. I took on a few well-armed six-year-olds, and realized just how out of shape I was. I had the advantage, I thought, as I could aim well and had a sound strategy. They had stamina. They won. Ever since, I've been a proponent of force-on-force training. But airsoft guns have increased in power, and I won’t play with my nephews any more. They can shoot, too, and it hurts. And I still can't keep up with them, which is another topic.

SHOT Show is the biggest event in the firearms industry. Companies from all over the world compete for attention on the show floor in Las Vegas, Nevada. While most of the participants are there for traditional firearms, air guns are well represented. Umarex, once again, is leading that segment of the industry.
