There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The gun right out of the packing materials was very accurate. I could hit a target 20 yards away as well as repeatedly shoot a Coke can at the same distance. I generally use 5 to 6 pumps for each shot. The manual recommends no more than 10 pumps or you might damage the pressure tube or the seal.
Here are some things that I did that were simple and I found helped while shooting the pistol:
• After using the pistol for only a short period I noticed the internal pump lever was rubbing the side of the pump channel. I had purchased some Crosman gun oil so I lubricated the pump pins, pump seal and the O-ring seal that touches the back of the pellet. Pumping the pistol was easier and the pellet seemed to shoot with more force. It only takes just a drop or two or oil placed in the right positions.
• I had trouble seeing the sights properly. I had a white paint pen that I used to label my rifle magazines and I took it and put white on the rear of the front sight and I drew a 3 sided box around the rear sight aperture. It made a big difference in my ability to see the sight and to shoot better.
• I saw that there was a rifle stock available for the pistol from Crosman. I purchased it from a website at a good price and installed it onto the pistol. It made the gun easier to pump and improved my accuracy even more. I am 6’ 2” with long arms and I had absolutely no problems with the stock length.
I love that fact that I can go outside and shoot without buying CO2 cartridges. I also like the low cost of the pellets versus any type of ammunition. I like the fact that there are several accessories available to upgrade the pistol.
I’ll probably hold off on more accessories for a while as I would rather spend my money on my more expensive pistols and rifles. I do like shooting this Crosman pellet gun and I am practicing my shooting skills and monitoring my breathing, trigger pull, pistol grip and shooting with both eyes open. It is easy to get into bad habits and practice makes perfect.
I'll post a couple of photos with the new stock and of the modifications I made to the gun sights so you can see the mods that I have done. This is a great pellet gun and I like it!
I have posted photos of the front and rear sights with them colored in with a white paint pen. It makes the pistol much easier to shoot. As you can see, the highlighted sights are much easier to see and they allow you to quickly sight in on the target and they help to give you greater accuracy and faster target acquisition. I have found that using the rifle stock and the sights with white paint on them that my shooting accuracy has improved and the patterns are getting tighter. I found the riflestock helped me to hold the gun more steady and take my time in shooting which resulted in hitting the bullseye more often.
What is nice with this gun is that you can make some upgrades without spending a lot of money. There are a lot of low cost upgrades for this pistol than can make it more reliable and more accurate.
I have seen many optional upgrades like a better barrel that provides longer life and can serve as a mounting platform for other upgrades. You can add a rail to the better barrel to use as an mounting platform for nice shooting accessories to further improve your shooting accuracy.
Once you get the rail you can add in a red dot sight. They also make and sell lower cost lasers that can be fun to shoot with on this pistol. It makes it nice that you can upgrade this pistol with a lot of features that don’t cost a lot but make the gun unique to fit your style of shooting.
It is a good training pistol for a young adult or an adult to use to hone their shooting skills. This gun has become a hit at my home as many of my grandsons want to shoot it outside when they come over.
I have enjoyed this purchase a lot more than I expected too. So have my grandsons as they love to shoot the pistol. Just remember that this is not a toy and to have people learn the rules of the proper way to handle a pistol.
This is worth every penny I have spent on it and I enjoy the time we spend shooting it. This is a good hobby to shoot this low cost gun and with low cost pellets. It is fun to shoot as a practice pistol or as a pistol to control small varmints. I never thought we would have so much fun shooting this air pistol.
This is really a fun item to purchase if you are a fan of shooting. I just love shooting a tin can across the yard for the fun of it. It’s an inexpensive way to have fun in your own back yard just plunking away at targets.
The quality of this pistol is good and it works well. It is fun to shoot for an hour for a few pennies a shot.
If you love to shoot a pistol then this is the best entertainment you can buy.

So I took a 50 dollar coin and flipped it. I guess I lost but won a gun. So what now?
I tried many different pellets through this gun. All of them shot fairly well. Then I found some
Straton pellets. If i did my part, I was able to shoot 5 pellets into a half to 3/4 inch at 40 yards.
It is THAT accurate with the straton pellets. I tried other pellets, but accuracy was not near as
good. At 20 yards I could put 5 pellets in a 2 inch circle. In order to achieve this kind of accuracy,
I had to use my porch rail and a pillow on top of it to hold the gun steady.
I am totally impressed with this gun. I pump 6 times for 20 yards and 10 times for 40 yards.
Pros. . .
1. Very accurate with the correct pellet. fairly accurate with most pellets. What I mean by fairly accurate
is a 5 shot group in 1 inch circle at 10 yards/meters. This will satisfy most people.
2. It is easy to pump. Was not to hard to pump for me.
3. I like the weight. . .It is heavy enough to hold steady but light enough to not fatigue your arms.
4. Pellets load in easy. The chamber is exposed, so the pellets are very easy to place in the chamber.
You may have to work just a little when you close the bolt. Why? because the head of the pellet will
sometimes get caught on the screw that holds the barrel on the gun. I left the head up with the
skirt of the pellet. If you try to jam the pellet in the gun with the bolt (which you can), you may
damage the pellet. This will make the accuracy of the gun poorer, because the pellet has been damaged.
5. Rear sight is adjustable fairly nice. Though I do not like the windage adjustment, because I think
it is a little "funky" and cheap, the elevation adjustment was really nice.
6. Rear sight has both v and peep sight. That was nice.
Cons. . .
1. The rear sight is funky. the windage is very poor adjustment. You actually twsit the sight left or
right for the windage adjustment. I was not impressed by that. With that said, I had actually
very little windage adjustment. It was factory true.
2. Elevation control. Out of the box, I was hitting about 6 inches high at 10 yards. I could not move
the sight down far enough to bring my pellets closer to the Bullseye. I ended up taking a pop can
and cutting my own sight out of the thin metal and using it for a sight. Then I was able to bring the
Point of impact down to about 1 inch above the Bullseye at 10 yards. This satisfied me.
3. Plastic grip seems to be a little loose. NOT much, but just a little . It is not a deal breaker.
4. Trigger is not the best, but what can you expect from a cheap gun? It is a lot better than a lot
of other Pellet guns out there on the market.
Overall. . .
For a gun like this, I am totally impressed. I feel that if I did my part,and I had all my T's crossed and
I's dotted, I could possibly MOA with this gun with the right pellet. The Stratons were absolutely
amazing through this pistol. 25 yards gave me (at one time) 3 pellets almost in the exact same hole.
Other pellets gave me groups that I was very happy with too. Imagine a 3/4 inch CTC (or less)
at 10 yards with most pellets I tried.
The power is there for you. The accuracy, is there for you. The reliability is there for you.
You do your part, it will do its part.
For 50 dollars, really, how can one lose?
It is Amazing for me and well worth the money.
It is hands down, one of the best shooting guns I have
ever had for the money. You can spend 3 times the
money, but you probably will not get the accuracy this
pistol has.
