A hands-on review of the Rossi R17 Custom Gold and Black airsoft pistols by Prime Guns. He highlights a minor mystery regarding the magazine packaging, noting that their stock includes both a flat base and an optional extended bumper, while other stores seemingly leave the extension out.

Blackstar give their take on the M9A4 Tan GBB from Rossi, one of their releases for 2026... "Let's go to our first review in the series of Rossi releases this year.
