Review of the SR92 CO2 Airsoft Pistol with Silencer Two-Tone Blue — a blowback M9-style sidearm from SRC. 18+ only. This post contains no imagery of ammunition.
First Impressions
There is something deeply satisfying about picking up a good M9 replica, and the SRC SR92 CO2 Airsoft Pistol with Silencer in two-tone blue gets the basics right straight out of the box. At 900g with the magazine fitted — 990g once the 120mm metal silencer is screwed on — it has the heft of the real Beretta M92 it is styled after, and the two-tone blue finish clearly marks it out as a compliant UK-legal airsoft pistol while looking genuinely smart rather than cheap.
The first thing you notice is how much metal there is. The slide, frame, iron sights, trigger, magazine release, hammer, ambi safety, disassembly lever and recoil spring rod are all metal, with plastic grip panels keeping the weight sensible. This is a combat-grade, professional-style sidearm, not a plinker.
Performance
The SR92 runs on a 12g CO2 cartridge in the metal 25-round magazine, driving semi-automatic blowback shots at around 330 FPS with 0.2g BBs. That is right in the sweet spot for a sidearm — punchy enough to be felt on target outdoors, and consistent thanks to the CO2 platform, which holds pressure better than green gas when the temperature drops.
The blowback action is crisp and cycles with a satisfying kick, and the adjustable hop-up lets you dial in 0.20g BBs (the recommended ammo) for a flat, accurate trajectory. The threaded 14mm CCW outer barrel comes with a thread cap, but the included 120mm metal silencer — which houses an extension inner barrel — is the star of the show. Screw it on and the pistol stretches from 230mm to 335mm, the report drops noticeably, and you have a proper stealthy sidearm for sneaky flanker play.
Build Quality and Handling
Being an M9 pattern gun, the SR92 is naturally pointable — the long grip and low bore axis make it intuitive for most hand sizes, and it is fully ambidextrous: the safety catch and disassembly lever work from either side, and the safety positively blocks the trigger when engaged. Metal integrated iron sights are clear and easy to pick up quickly.
The key features read like a checklist of what you want from a CO2 sidearm: metal slide, metal frame, metal threaded outer barrel, metal recoil spring rod, metal 25-round CO2 magazine, adjustable hop-up, and safety/semi-auto shooting modes.

Who Is It For?
This is a sidearm for skirmishers who want a reliable, all-metal blowback backup that will not break the bank, and for backyard target shooters who enjoy the realism of blowback without the running costs of green gas. The two-tone blue colouring makes it legal to purchase without a defence under the VCRA — you must be 18 or over to buy, and age verification applies at checkout. If you are a regular skirmisher building a defence for a full RIF purchase later, this pistol makes an excellent first step into the hobby.
