The Stinger P9T Airsoft Pistol Kit at a glance
The first, and probably the best, about this airsoft pistol is that it doesn’t come alone. You are getting an entire and complete kit! This means you will not have to run around from store to store trying to find the BBs, and other accessories to go with it. You get ammo and a holster to complement the Stinger P9T Airsoft Pistol.
In addition to this, the main centerpiece, the BB gun, is probably one of the realest and best replicas we have seen and reviewed so far. It measures 8 inches in overall length, and weighs 0.84 pounds giving it a real and authentic pistol-like feel. And the gorgeous holster is only doing more to amp up the experience. Let’s look at its main features now.
We have talked about the product a bit in our airsoft pistol guide but it is time to look at the features in details.
Power
The Stinger P9T Airsoft Pistol Kit is spring-powered, which is always good in our book since these types of arms are always easier to use.
First, they are safer than most other-powered pistols due to the cock-and-shoot style which give a few moments of rest before firing. And we all know how crucial this few seconds are in the world of shooting. You can set you to aim better and use a few seconds to rethink an initiative; in other words, it is the smarter way to play especially if you are an inexperienced player. Second, spring-powered pistols have the least number of breakable parts, which makes it more durable and fuss-free.
There is a drawback to spring-powered guns, however. Because it works on a cock and shoot mechanism, you will not be able to fire constantly in a row. You will have to cock back the slide for every BB you want to shoot, and this takes more effort and time. Now, we know we said it favor the safety and aim of newbies, but it may not be appealing to expert players to want to expect swift action.
BB pellets
The BBs used in the Stinger P9T Airsoft Pistol are plastic 0.12g and yellow BBs. They are already included in your kits and come in a trial pack, which is a lifesaver since you do not have to test out a million BBs.
The BBs are shot through a 6 mm caliber and offers you shooting velocities up to 275 fps (feet per second). Not the best we have seen, but definitely not bad either! The fps, you could say, falls somewhere in between and medium-ish in the speed spectrum. Furthermore, you have the magazine, which accommodates up to 15 BBs.
Durability
You know already how reliable spring-powered guns already are, but you can’t always rely on that. The Stinger P9T Airsoft Pistol is made out of synthetic hard composite plastic material for added strength. The lower body of the pistol is a nutty brown color while the top half is left black.
Now, here’s the problem: despite such committed build and construction, the Stinger P9T Airsoft Pistol has incurred its shares of disappointed customers who have complained about it breaking or cracking easily. Moving on.. . .
Then you have the holster which is a personal favorite of ours. It is made from soft, corduroy fabric and has a Velcro thumb break for easier access.
And finally, you have your sturdy Picatinny rail which is acts as an attachment holder for your many add-ons like laser, flashlight and safety goggles.
