I bought one from Blackpool Air Rifles, now they sell some really serious and expensive air guns but even the chaps there stated these guns are serious fun and great for garden shooting so i got one and you and they were quite correct....fantastic bit of kit ❤
I have the HDR 50 and it is superb, however, any enhancements can only improve it further. Great guns, well made and I would never have purchased one had it not been for AAR.
I turned my hdr50 into a powerhouse carbine running on 3000psi hpa with 1100 output. That thing is no joke...huge fan of the TR line. Great review Andy 🫡
Well, I hope you live in the States or you could get into serious trouble. Regardless of my opinion on the wisdom of that law, it IS a law and the Police don't usually have a sense of humour about 'firearms'.
Morning Andy , as ever great review , thank you. Looks like another multi functional winner from this company with a great deal of usability value. Those were some serious dents in that stainless !! Did I notice just a couple of errrrs towards the ammo price being a little more than we're used to paying ? Mind you the unit cost of the revolver is exceptionally good value. Thanks again . Dave
Please don’t be fooled by how bright the fiber optic sights look during the day. In a home defence low light scenario only precharged tritium sights will glow if you don’t have a seriously bright flashlight mounted on the gun like a TLR1 HL or an Olight PL Pro.
Just to underline what Andy said, and add a little extra context, the 11J version requires a s.5 license. What does that mean? Well, it means that if you had an 11J version and no s.5 license the penalty is a minimum of 5 years in prison. In case you were wondering "but I thought it was the legal version" is NOT a defence.
Correct. I notice you correctly said it would be section 5 oppose to Banned which would be incorrect. However I'm not sure of any reason why someone would need a section 5 paint ball marker.
@@vobchopperNot at all. A s.5 firearm is a s.5 firearm. If you are referring to whether the type of ammunition effects muzzle energy, then yes it does, but forensics labs test fire with a variety of ammunition and the test is whether it is capable of a muzzle energy greater than 6 ft.lbs, not whether it is so with your ammunition.
i love my hdr 50 gen 2 , first hdr that i get was 68 cal now i really need something smaller for protection but power enough , i need 20-30 joules power on hdr 50 gen 1 , but i buy myself gen 2 because i really like the upgrades that model has , like i wear glasses and i like green sight
Forget the TR50 - umarex release a .50 TFE Glock 17. The .43 version is already incredible, but if they released and updated version with the same rounds and power of the TR50s it would blow it out of the water.
UMAREX: always making quite good air guns. Mine is the Tornado (you know it by BRODAX) .177 CO2. The small TR50 cousin ... 🙂 Anyway, very good revolver (sort of) and despite it shoots iron BBs, must say very good accuracy ... !
I have the full custom 20-30 jule depending on amp. And I load mine with 9mm amo. Man it’s good to be in the USA also try the hdx shotgun he has it in the background it’s awesome
Just wish it was easier to open the release...its quite small for big fingers or no nails... wished there was something to go over it for a extra 2-3mm etc
@@simonnoble7589 Morning, yes 27 deg later. No shooting for me for another week though till I get home. I have bought one of the Wiehrauch HW50S 1899 125 year special editions in the black and red laminate stock so will give it a try when I get home.
@@sergentcolon1 we’ve had our heating on a bit lol Wow yes nice choice 👍🏻 Bet you carnt to try it out etc. I miss all my rifles while Iam on holiday 😂 Have a great time there ☀️🥵👊🏻🏴👍🏻
Hey Andy coud you make a indoor airgun video for us blokes that don't hafe a home with a garden big enough for even a break barrel rifle like me? i was thinking indoor pistols pcp's.
The only problems I find with this range is they are just a little too loud for backyard plinking, that and you have to look out for rebounding ammunition 😂.
@@AAROnair they cancelled the order!! Looks like it’s the 7.5 joule one then. They are legal as far as I’m aware with frangible ammo. Lots on paintball fields for a fact.
@@algray9966It looks to me you're in a massively grey area with the 11J version. There is Home Office “Guidance” (Note: Guidance is NOT the Law) that seems to suggest that as long as you use it with frangible ammo it's all great, but the moment you put a rubber ball in it you are now in possession of a S5 firearm and looking at jail time. That's clearly a ridiculous position. Personally I'd stay well clear of the 11J version, even if people seem to be selling it.
@@fliesarenegade iam ok thanks . Nice i like the glock . i have the .50 revolver ... Great bit of Kit for my collection or if anybody wants to breat in ! . Take care
The box i dont care about no box its what's inside that counts what ya going to do show who ever is breaking into your house or trying to jack your car boy that will make them shake in their boots. 😂. I like that pistol it looks like it may just be good to have.
Probably because he does not want to be arrested. Defending yourself from assault using weapons might be legal depending on the circumstances but preparing for being assaulted with weapons is not. His early comment about keeping it loaded in a bedside cabinet was unwise.
I wouldn’t count on it. Check out Houston jones he just did a video on less than lethal pistol 🔫 and it did some pretty good bruises n broke the skin a lil Pepper rounds woukd prob by u some time yo get away. The one he tested was 36 Jules well that’s what the website advertised
Sadly all this air powered fun is going to end next month when the new Home Secretary (and very anti gun) Yvette Cooper gets her hands on the lawmaking. 😔

Yeah airguns are incredibly expensive now, I'd love the Daystate Red Wolf Safari but the price..
I like the streamlined understated styling on this pistol - not overdone. Great review, looks like a great deal of fun.
I like the sound of pistol being placed in and removed from the holster.
me too haha almost a fetish hahaha
I totally agree. Where can I get that holster for a left hand?
I have the HDR 50 and it is superb, however, any enhancements can only improve it further. Great guns, well made and I would never have purchased one had it not been for AAR.
Why not just use a brush?

Keep it fun and safe. Great price. Make sure the backstop is neighbour friendly.
And don't forget to wear your helmet and protective frock.
Oh dear, that just looks a silly amount of fun....
Wow! Great upgrades and great review
The gen 1 was recently in a scifi TV show but I forget which one. It looked the part too.

It depends on the ammunition used
Your average hunter or target plinker aint going to jail for a over powered air rifle these days

You are not getting 5 years in prison for owning this without a license…
That's a lot of fun for the money.
It seems that your review of the pump action has either been removed or I can't find it, I've looked and I can't find it anywhere.
I just bought one. (13 Joule) 🙂

you can just remove the valve block and it increases drasticly in power
Thanks for the review Andy. I've recently placed an order for the Gen2

The .43 version is already incredible, but if they released and updated version with the same rounds and power of the TR50s it would blow it out of the water.
the glock is a paintball marker though whereas the TR50 is an airgun , paintball guns require a ukpsf membership and airguns dont
@@melin1969 Both air airguns. You don't need a licence for either. You are thinking of airsoft

Best slugs are the slugs with ball shape on top 6mm steel balls TPU 95A
Where can you get the bio paintball ammo from Andy?
Nice one Andy!
I have the full custom 20-30 jule depending on amp. And I load mine with 9mm amo. Man it’s good to be in the USA also try the hdx shotgun he has it in the background it’s awesome
i have a 98 joule HDR68 :) also a default 40joule HDX68 since they are available in EU
Another cracking video review
How loud is it? Hard to tell from the video :) Thanks!
They are pretty loud, much more than any conventional airgun I've ever shot
Very loud I fired mine 3 times since I bought a gen 1 2 years ago sounds like a real gun. Don't fancy armed police turning up 😮
Holsters nice ❤
Another great review! Keep it up!!
Why can’t you just slightly untwist the striker to release the co2?
Will you be covering the Umarex Gauntlet 2 ?
Did you do a review on the HDX 68 pump action??
Just Checked 16.5 J is a The Legal limit for the UK
I bought one during lockdown
I really like this. 😊
Great review Andy 👍
Hello , what type of ammo you use anda how mucho distance to steel plates?
I’ll stick with my T4E 11 joule thanks.
still quite fancy one of these i am going to put it on my list.
Awesome video. Where can I get the holster for a left-hand?
which version of paintball did you use? I used some bio ones in my Gen 1, and ended up having to rinse it out.
Just wish it was easier to open the release...its quite small for big fingers or no nails... wished there was something to go over it for a extra 2-3mm etc

But with the holster, you cannot add a laser or anything else.. is there a different hostler...soft etc ?
Try the Modern Combat Sports holster, it's designed to take a laser flashlight on the bottom rail. I bought one for mine and it's top quality.
I am really surprised by how bad the laws are in the UK. I would hate to live there and be a defender. They protect the criminals more.
If you had the older version would you go out and buy this considering the changes???
No
No, not with the changes i've made to my Gen 1, it puts out over 40J with the steel core rubberballs.
Hi is this power as first one uk
The 11 Joules Revolver Chrono's at 345-360 FPS standard 7 Joules is 300 FPS 🤔
The only problems I find with this range is they are just a little too loud for backyard plinking, that and you have to look out for rebounding ammunition 😂.
Thanks
would these type of pistols be good for self defence in the home
No, they're not powerful enough
Another great review and show of ✋ for those also wanting an Umarex Notos review ? 😂
Where do we stand in regard to the VCR act with these?
What distance/ range were u shooting it
Good morning 👍🏴
I tried a paint ball in the 68 pump gun with 45j, don’t do that it exploded inside. What a mess;)
Any chance of a review of the HDB 68?
Range and accuracy ? ? ? Please say more, Good Sir. Thank You FMR Intelligence Officer

Andy, where do you source your steel plates? I've been looking for similar to create an IPA- esque set up in my back garden.
Seconded - i'd like to get my hands on some for the 'run and gun' at the local range.
Just get some old paint tin lids?
Metal camping plates work well.
Hi Andy. What distance were your targets?
10 metres
@@AAROnair Thanks for quick response
didn’t think they’d bring out another one 😂
You need 32 until 42 joules to avoid some one.
Never shoot 8mm steel balls under 5m under 36 joules
How much are steel plates 😂good 👍
Why could you not use as home security weapon 🤔
Well, first and foremost, it doesn't have enough power for that
Got the 11 j version. So much better
Hi Andy. The tr 50 must be the most powerful hand gun co2 or spring, am i correct ? Great reviews.
Nice.
andy i can play with him in the garden without the neighbors giving me trouble,thanks
I'll stick to my python 357 :) but i do enjoy your channel ,some of the air rifles are stunning
Great Videos, thanks, Keep them coming. But I have to ask is it against the Law where u live to Breath to Loud? Wow, But still good Vids.
price to fun ratio 100%
I might have missed it, but what range did you use for the test?
I like to have n holster for this wapen. Can i have one via you!?,
For the price they should make these from metal. The plastic feels cheap
Thse make tin cans go flying
They should've made it a snub-nosed, I don't care if it's not practical.
need a silencer
