The WinGun M87 Sport 301L is reportedly one of the hardest hitting airsoft pistol on the market. It is commonly reported that it shoots between 450 FPS and 500 FPS with 0.2g BB's. And with a top rail built into the gun slide, it give ma an idea to "Build a Futuristic Sniper Rifle" out of it. You can read about my sniper rifle build adventure in that link. But in this article, I will review this CO2 airsoft pistol.
The pistol came in a colorful box (see photo below). Much like many computer accessories box, it has a flip-top box that is reusable. So you can take the gun out and put it back in the box for storage.
Including in the packing is the gun, the magazine (inserted into handgrip), the instruction manual, and a bag of BB's (see photo below).
The WinGun M87 is loosely based on the Beretta 87 Target firearm. Both guns have a stylish squared styling that can be associated to scifi airsoft guns. However, the oval trigger guard and the crooked handgrip betrays its angular shape (see photo below). The left side is relatively clean with "M87" in bold characters.
The right side only has the addition of the safety switch above the trigger, but this small change seem to give it a look of complexity. The perception is probably caused by the small letters on the side of teh gun. Photo below shows the right side of the gun.
The safety switch is on the right side of the gun, so it is to be activated with the index finger for a right-handed shooter. To unlock, you push the switch forward, then upward (see photo below). It feels somewhat awkward to activate, but not difficult.
There is a fake switch on the left side of the gun (see photo below), which I feel is totally unnecessary. Behind the trigger is the magazine release. The magazine release is in the same location as many other well known guns. It's activation is straightforward.
The trigger can be pulled when the safety is on, but does not fire the gun. Only when the safety is off will the trigger fire. I have found the trigger pull to be extremely heavy and long. I have never feel such a hard pull from any airsoft gun before. This heavy pull could hamper by desire to use it as a sniper rifle.
