Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Barra 009 Full Auto Blowback CO2 BB Pistol is single action only so you will need to rack the slide first to not only chamber a 4.5mm Steel BB in the breach area, but to also cock the internal striker system. There is a working trigger safety along with a main safety under the barrel where the serial number is normally located. You can slide this back and forth to activity the safety. The Barra 009 has a nice short and light trigger as you would expect similar to a real steel Glock pistol.

Accuracy: First up for our velocity test of the Barra 009 Full Auto Blowback CO2 BB Pistol, we shot 6 rounds through our Chronograph but only took the first 5 as they were the highest in fps. The slowest fps was 309 with the fastest shot hitting 325 fps, this averaged 317 fps which is about what we expected from a Full Blowback CO2 BB pistol from KWC. Temperature was about 20 degrees Celsius which is around 68 degrees Fahrenheit by the way so good to get middle of the road performance here. We then placed our paper target up 30 feet downrange and using a semi rested shooting position (hands rested on a sandbag up front and sitting on a stool in the back), we shot 10 rounds into the target and was able to get around a 2 inch shot grouping in semi auto. We did end up having to shoot rather high on the target to get near the bullseye so out of the box we would say the Barra 009 Full Auto Blowback CO2 BB Pistol shoots at least 6-8 inches low at 30 feet out. It did however shoot on the mark from side to side. Next we reloaded the magazine with 18 rounds and selected full auto. All we can tell you is the Barra 009 Full Auto Blowback CO2 BB Pistol has a crazy fast rate of fire and the gun was for the most part not very controllable as it was rocking back and forth a ton. We did get a few rounds on the target but do not suggest shooting in full auto unless your target is literally right in front of you as you probably will not hit it.

Build Quality: The Barra 009 Full Auto Blowback CO2 BB Pistol looks to be well made overall with metal and plastic parts where you would find them on a real steel modern Pistol. Fit and finish is typical of a KWC made Airgun and the slide wiggle is next to zero. The slide spring is very heavy and the sound of the slide when racked and released does not have that cheap metallic sound some blowback Airguns have. We are expecting some pretty decent blowback action recoil from the Barra 009 Full Auto Blowback CO2 BB Pistol when we do my Field Test Shooting Review!

Realism: The Barra 009 Full Auto Blowback CO2 BB Pistol looks similar to a Glock but with many cosmetic changes that do differentiate it a fair amount, as in the trigger guard, the grips, the thumb guard shape and the finishing on the slide. Mostly everything operates function similar to what you would expect for a Glock styled pistol including the slide catch release, trigger safety, magazine release and even the take down switches for quick field stripping and access to the adjustable hop-up, yes it is adjustable.

Pros:

• Feels very solid in the hand and well made. (Assuming it is a KWC made gun)
• Shoots in both semi and Full Auto.
• Has a full heavy blowback operation similar to an Airsoft Pistol.
• Full metal full size drop out magazine that holds the steel BB’s and CO2.
• Dual safeties, under the barrel and on the trigger.
• White dot sights front and back.
• Fully Field Strippable.
• Recessed barrel for added realism.
• Metal slide with polymer frame similar to a real steal modern firearm.
• Picatinny rail for adding on accessories.
• If you like that look of a Glock you will probably like the look of the Barra 009.
• 325 fps is decent for a full blowback BB gun.

Cons:

• Full Blowback operation will limit velocity and shots per CO2.
• Sights are not adjustable.
• Barrel opening maybe a bit under sized?

Comments: If you want a true Glock Replica Airgun your best bet is going to be one from Umarex as they hold the Glock license and offer several options in Steel BB, Pellet, Airsoft and even Paintball. They do not offer a full auto version as far as we know so if you do want a semi and full auto Glock styled BB Pistol then the Barra 009 Full Auto Blowback CO2 BB Pistol may be one of your only options and to be honest, Umarex is sourcing many of their Glock Airguns from KWC, so you will not be compromising with quality or reliability as the build will be about the same.
