Gamo PR-725 Revolver Review | CO2 & Pneumatic Pistol

The Gamo PR-725 is an extremely realistic full-metal CO2 revolver based on Gamo’s successful PR-776 model . Its 2.5-inch fluted steel barrel makes it remarkably ergonomic, light, and agile, outperforming its larger 7.6-inch counterpart in manoeuvrability and short-distance shooting speed . This revolver is perfect for plinking, recreational shooting, and realistic training across Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Austria, and Denmark. The sliding textured polymer grip allows for extremely fast and easy CO2 cartridge replacement . At just 210mm in length and 870 grams in weight, it offers a satisfying heft that mimics a traditional revolver .

The PR-725 is chambered in 4.5mm (.177) calibre and powered by a standard 12g CO2 cartridge . Muzzle velocity reaches 100 m/s, with energy output at approximately 3 Joules, keeping it safely under 7.5 Joules for EU compliance across all member states . The rifled steel barrel measures 2.5 inches (approximately 5.08cm) . Overall length is 210mm, and weight is approximately 870 grams . A single 12g CO2 cartridge delivers approximately 50 shots per fill . The revolver features a 9-11mm dovetail rail for accessory mounting when desired . The non-blowback design means all CO2 gas is directed towards propelling the pellet, maximising efficiency and shot count.

The PR-725 features an 8-shot rotary pellet magazine, with two magazines included in the box . The revolver offers both single and double-action operation, giving you the choice between precision shot placement and rapid fire . A manual safety mechanism provides secure handling, while the swing-out cylinder design mimics the loading experience of a traditional revolver . The fixed open sights are adjustable for both elevation and windage, providing practical aiming capability for short to medium ranges . The stippled polymer grip with finger grooves ensures superior handling and control during shooting.

Owners report several issues worth noting before purchase. The grip can have slight play of under 1mm, which some users find distracting during shooting . Some users report that up to half of shots may fail to fire correctly, with pellets staying in the barrel or remaining in the magazine housing . The short 2.5-inch barrel limits long-range accuracy, with sub-10 metre shooting being where this revolver truly excels . Some owners have experienced issues with the double-action trigger being heavy, causing wrist movement that affects accuracy . However, after several hundred shots and becoming accustomed to the revolver, many owners report excellent satisfaction . One experienced shooter described enjoying the PR-725 “infinitely more” than their competition-grade Morini 162 target pistol .

The PR-725 delivers surprising accuracy for a compact revolver, with owners reporting consistent grouping within a 6cm diameter at 10 metres when shooting two-handed . Many users achieve excellent results at 10 to 15 metres, with some describing the revolver as “very precise” at these distances . For optimal performance, owners recommend H&N Excite Econ II, Gamo Lethal, and Gamo Match pellets in 4.5mm calibre . The rifled steel barrel ensures consistent pellet stabilisation, while the single-action mode delivers the best accuracy for deliberate shots. Owners recommend using single-action mode for the best results, as the double-action trigger can be heavy and affect precision . The compact design makes it ideal for plinking and target practice in garden or indoor ranges.
