Cybergun PT24/7 Metal Slide Non-Blowback CO2 Pistol (Cybergun – 210303 – Pre-Two Tone Blue)
The Cybergun PT24/7 is a CO2-powered, non-blowback pistol with a metal slide, modelled on the PT24/7 service pistol. It offers modern full-size styling at an accessible price. This version (model 210303) is listed as Pre-Two Tone Blue.
Cybergun is one of the best-known names in airsoft replicas, and the PT24/7 is a practical, economical pistol. It suits target shooting and plinking, newer players looking for an affordable first sidearm, and anyone who wants a simple pistol that keeps working when gas guns struggle in the cold.
Design and handling
The full-size frame gives a comfortable grip and a good sight radius for aimed shots. The metal slide adds weight and a more realistic feel, and because the slide does not move, the pistol has no recoil to fight, making it easier to practise smooth trigger control and follow-up shots.
Why CO2?
CO2 is a popular power source for pistols because it holds its pressure better than green gas when temperatures drop, which makes a real difference in a typical UK autumn and winter. CO2 pistols tend to perform consistently through the colder months, when green gas pistols can become sluggish. It is a good choice for players who skirmish year round and want a sidearm they can rely on.
Because this is a non-blowback pistol, the slide stays still when you fire. Without the slide to cycle, more of the CO2 goes into propelling each BB, so a capsule lasts longer and shots are more consistent. There is no recoil, which makes it easier to stay on target.
Using it on the field
A pistol is your back-up when your primary runs dry, jams or is too long for the space you are in. Practise drawing from your holster and getting the sights on target smoothly, and carry a spare magazine if you can. Keep the pistol in a holster that covers the trigger guard, and keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
Getting started
Read the manual before first use so you know how the magazine loads and how the capsule is fitted. Load the magazine with BBs, fit a fresh capsule with a drop of silicone oil on its tip, and fire a few shots at a safe target, such as a BB trap, to see where the pistol shoots at your usual engagement distances. Practising like this at home makes a big difference when you need the pistol in a hurry.

Compatibility
Use magazines made for this specific model; pistol magazines are rarely interchangeable between brands, even when the outer shape looks similar. Check the manual for the type of CO2 capsule the pistol uses and how to fit it. Holsters should be chosen to fit this model’s size and any accessories you mount. Good quality 0.20g BBs are a sensible starting point.
Care and maintenance
Remove the CO2 capsule after each session rather than leaving it pierced in the magazine for long periods, as constant pressure wears the seals. Put a drop of silicone oil on the tip of each new capsule before fitting it, which helps keep the seals and valves in good condition. Use clean, seamless BBs, keep the pistol dry, and wipe any moisture off metal parts after use. Store the pistol and magazines somewhere dry at room temperature.
Who is it for?
Newer players looking for an affordable sidearm, target shooters and plinkers, and anyone who wants a straightforward CO2 pistol for cooler weather.
