ICS Airsoft got a competitor to the Tokyo Marui MK23 SOCOM NBB Pistol to match it for its stealthiness. Alexander of Red Army Airsoft tries to find out if the claim is true in this video review (in Russian with English subs)... "PM-2 from ICS claims to be the competitor for MK23 Socom. Moreover, a 'pro-Russian competitor,' which whets appetite to this product in Russia.
The main minus of MK23 Socom is its size, it is huge and not the most convenient to carry.

Not exactly a new gas-powered airsoft pistol, but Mach Sakai takes time to give us a review of the MGC CZ-75 Now Blowback Gas Pistol which he bought a long time ago.

Diles46 of Intrigue Airsoft reviews the newly released HK45 CO2 Airsoft Pistol from Elite Force Guns. This is a non-blowback pistol and is an affordable one at an MSRP of US$54.99. It still a handy pistol but for those who don't dig non-blowback pistols, they're better off with the KWA HK45 GBB which is of course around US$145.00.
