TSD SD 87 and 88 Shotgun Review
These little babies turned out to be pretty slick pieces of hardware.
Enjoy!
- Product Summary: TSD SD87 - Three Shot Burst
- Cost: $98.00 MSRP
- Source: TSD
- Gun Type: Pump Action, Spring Powered
- Average FPS: 220-230 (.2g bbs)
- Max Effective Range: 80 ft
- Pros: 3 shots per trigger pull! Good fit and finish, nicely painted sights, metal barrel and loading tube and a great shotgun shell saddle holder.
- Cons: Cocking effort is on the heavy side, FPS and accuracy are low, no adjustable hop up potentially cumbersome maneuverability.
- Editor's opinion: Its a shotgun and it performs in that role pretty well. Don't get the SD87 to hit the bulls eye, rather, get it to hit the whole bull. Throw in the ability to slam fire (go easy on this feature) and you've got yourself a potent room clearer! Don't worry about the velocity, because at close range you won't need any more.
- Product Summary: TSD SD 88 - Single Shot
- Cost: $48.00 MSRP
- Source: TSD
- Gun Type: Pump Action, Spring Powered
- Average FPS: 370-380 (.2g bbs)
- Max Effective Range: 125'
- Pros: Surprisingly good accuracy and power, relatively light pump action, capability of firing multiple bbs, decent included extras, good maneuverability.
- Cons: Sub par fit and finish, noticeable seems, poorly painted sights little or no metal external parts.
- Editor's opinion: The old adage of "you get what you pay for" is applicable to this offering. But don't let looks alone be the deciding factor. Its surprisingly accurate and very maneuverable due to its short barrel. The power handily out flies many AEGs and the (unofficial) ability to load multiple bbs by partially racking the slide makes for a decent "shotgun" type airsoft gun. Further, you can slam fire the SD88 and although we've heard that this can wear out the parts pre-maturely, we have yet to encounter a failure. For such a low price this offering is something to be looked at as a backup, or even just a really fun backyard plinker!
