UX SPA Master PCP Pistol by UMAREX
The UX SPA Master takes the familiar CP2-style platform and evolves it into a compact PCP pistol while keeping the lightweight handling and simple operation that made the original system so popular in the first place. Rather than abandoning the proven design, UMAREX have modernised the areas that actually needed improvement while retaining compatibility with the huge aftermarket surrounding CP2-style platforms.
For existing CP2 fans, this will feel instantly familiar. Just considerably more refined.
Picatinny Rail System
The old dovetail-only rail arrangement has finally been replaced with a proper Picatinny rail. That means compact reflex sights and red dots can mount directly to the pistol without awkward adaptor plates stacked on top of each other like a badly planned extension project. It sounds simple, but it massively improves optic compatibility and general usability.
Included 1/2" UNF Silencer Adaptor
UMAREX have also addressed the old M10 thread problem that frustrated many CP2 and PR900 owners. The included M10 to 1/2"-20 UNF adaptor allows proper airgun silencers to fit the pistol immediately without needing aftermarket adaptors or strange thread conversions that may or may not have been machined correctly.
Improved Cocking Lever
The revised crescent-style cocking lever is more ergonomic than older straight versions, offering improved leverage and a far more secure grip thanks to the rubberised finish. Particularly noticeable when shooting in colder or damp conditions where smooth metal cocking handles become oddly slippery.
PCP Consistency & Efficiency
Unlike the CO2-powered SPA Professional, the SPA Master uses a 60cc PCP cylinder filled to 250 BAR. This gives noticeably more stable velocities, better consistency between shots, and improved cold-weather performance. Shot count sits around 40 shots per fill, depending on power level and shooting pace, making it a surprisingly capable little PCP platform for casual target use.
CP2 Parts Compatibility
A major advantage here is continued compatibility with many CP2-style components and accessories. Magazines remain inexpensive and widely available, spare parts are easy to source, and the aftermarket support surrounding the platform is huge. In many ways this feels like the sort of upgraded PCP CP2 many owners would eventually build themselves anyway.
The rifled barrel, self-indexing rotary magazine, and included single-shot tray make the SPA Master particularly enjoyable for short-range precision shooting and relaxed target work. The adjustable micrometre rear sight remains excellent for traditional shooting styles, while the Picatinny rail opens the door for compact optics and reflex sights.

The UX SPA Master in Real Use
The SPA Master is a sensible option for shooters wanting a compact PCP pistol without immediately jumping into expensive dedicated match pistols. It keeps the simple handling and aftermarket friendliness of the CP2 platform while solving several of the original design’s more frustrating limitations. Lightweight, accurate enough to genuinely enjoy, and refreshingly straightforward to live with.
Important — read before purchase or storage.
All CO2 and green‑gas/propane powered guns and magazines are pressure systems and must not be stored pressurised for any length of time outside active shooting. Leaving gas installed will compress internal seals, accelerate permanent leaks, and shorten the life of your gun.
Temperature & Pressure Behaviour
CO2 and propane are temperature‑sensitive: they expand and contract with temperature changes. That expansion can force gas past worn seals or, in extreme heat, rupture seals or valves — creating dangerous failures. Keep guns and magazines out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Cold temperatures reduce pressure and can cause low power or feed problems, so always test a gas gun in the conditions you intend to use it.Always remove or fully vent gas after use. If you’re not shooting, remove the CO2 capsule or vent/empty magazines. Do not store with gas installed.
Lubrication Recommendations
To protect internals and seals we recommend using gas with added lubricants:-
CO2: use lubricated CO2 capsules — UMAREX branded CO2 is our recommendation.
-
Green Gas / Propane: use gas with added lubricant such as Vorsk, UltraAir, Nuprol, or Abbey (Green Gas).
Seal & Lubricant Guidance
-
Apply one drop of silicone oil (for polyurethane seals only — usually green or clear seals) to the tip of every 5 CO2 capsules or before long‑term storage to lubricate the piercing nozzle and protect seals.
-
For silicone seals (typically semi‑translucent white), only use PTFE‑based lubricants (e.g. Super Lube PTFE). Do not use silicone oil on silicone seals.
-
Never use gas cartridges showing rust or visible corrosion.
Leak Expectations & User Responsibility
All gas systems will slowly leak over time. Proper care reduces the rate of leakage but cannot prevent it entirely. Leaving cartridges installed dramatically speeds up seal wear. By using or storing gas guns you accept responsibility for regular maintenance, correct lubricant use, and safe storage.We Test Before Sale
We test every gas‑powered gun prior to dispatch or handover for major leaks and function. This may mean the gun arrives with gas installed — you may choose to use this free gas or vent the gun before storage. Testing does not guarantee seal life or prevent future leaks; seals remain consumable parts.If you’re unsure about seal types, lubricant compatibility, or safe storage, ask us before purchase — we’ll give honest guidance. Failure to follow these recommendations may void warranty or return eligibility where damage is caused by improper storage or lubrication.

Important Notice for the Purchase and Delivery of Airguns, Pressure Components of Airguns, and Moderators
Effective Compliance with the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (VCRA): Sections 31 and 32
Under the provisions of Sections 31 and 32 of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006, which were enacted through "The Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (Commencement No 3) Order 2007: firearms measures," specific regulations now apply to air weapons, their Pressure-Bearing component parts, and certain accessories.
Key Points to Note:
Restricted Items:
- Airguns: All airguns are classified as restricted items.
- Pressure-Bearing Parts of Airguns: This includes barrels, cylinders, reservoirs, and pistons.
- Functional Moderators (Silencers/Suppressors): Moderators that reduce the sound of discharge are also classified as restricted items.
Definition and Registration:
- Component Parts: While the VCRA does not explicitly define "component parts," the Home Office interprets this to include pressure-bearing parts such as barrels, cylinders, reservoirs, and pistons.
- Accessories: Only moderators (silencers) require registration by dealers.
Legal Requirements for Transfer:
- In-Person Transfer: It is an offence under the VCRA to transfer these restricted items through standard postal systems or to the end customer directly without the presence of both the buyer and either the seller or a representative of the seller.
- Representatives of the Seller: This can be:
- An employee of the seller who is a registered firearms dealer (RFD).
- Another RFD authorized by the seller.
- An employee of the authorized RFD.
Collection and Delivery Options:
- Collection from Store: Customers are encouraged to collect their restricted items directly from the store where purchased.
- Transfer to Another RFD: Items can be transferred to a local RFD for collection, though the receiving RFD may charge a fee for this service.
- Home Delivery: We offer home delivery through our in-house team to some areas of the UK. However, please note that this service has location restrictions and incurs higher costs due to the need for dedicated transport, making it more expensive than a standard RFD transfer.
