Basically a knock off of a phantom.... Usi was notorious for cloning things

Nope nothing to see here, Phantom...never heard of it!

Those were 50 dollars new at one point. I got a bunch of usi stuff . No brand loyalty at 15 years old.

Thanks for the info.

How much is interchangeable with phantom?

[Ecapnation]

None.

Geez, it even has the goofy useless site rail like a Phantom.

What’s with the safety having a “Rapid” mode?

[Jackson]

Maybe it locks the trigger back so it only fires in autotrigger?

[XEMON]

if the safety is on, its in "slow" mode 🤣

I used to own two of those (paid $80 for two around 2009), played with them couple of time, worked well.
I think the internals are not compatible with Phantom, but never tried to mix parts.

That was my memory of the one that passed through my hands as well.
It was Phantom-ish, but not so close that any of its parts were usable.
Overall quality was several notches below a Phantom as well- normal steel rather than stainless in the internals and simple threadings in the body for the grip frame rather than steel inserts.
I remember it being closer to a Phantom in parts and quality than a Diablo Deluxe but still not "there".

Bacci has a video of Mike Cassidy talking about these. Is the barrel removable?

Yes. Don't recall the threads matching anything common, though.

Really cant help on the USI pump ,but my first gun was a USI eliminator and constantly blew seals. Piece of junk. Bought a vm68 after that and still have her 32 years later.
