Things I liked:Size and scale are accurate to the M&P handgun and the fiber optic sights are a good feature. Accuracy is nice but I wish there were heavier round bbs to improve trajectory a bit. Low noise report is good, it pretty much just spits and has good power and range. The stick mags are very nice so get a few. They load fast and no jams

Accuracy is nice but I wish there were heavier round bbs to improve trajectory a bit. Low noise report is good, it pretty much just spits and has good power and range. The stick mags are very nice so get a few. They load fast and no jams. The tactical rail is a very nice feature, as it handles lasers/lights well and gives a LE/Military edge in tactical training scenarios Things I would have changed:Terribly plasticky grip. I could not beleive Smith & Wesson allowed the vendor to get away with this. The grip is so cheaply made that when you slide it back to load the CO2, it can come off in your hand. Not good. What others should know:A good gun for the money. Get a good holster, gun case and accessories with the $$ you save, this could easily have been a more expensive gun. Safe and happy shooting.

The clips cycle flawlessly with the right ammo and it has a very low report, making it ideal for backyard/basement shooters with nosy neighbors. Trigger pull is crisp with medium travel and safety lever is well located. A simple beretta style gun with a heart of gold. Things I would have changed:Of course I got mine many years ago, when the outer CO2 screw lever was standard, but now I don't like seeing that stick out of the grip. Innovations in airguns have made this a non issue for newer pistol models, so Daisy could follow suit. Aside from that everything is A OK. What others should know:Best to use heavier domed, hollowpoint or wadcutter (flat) pellets with a nice full skirt. Pointed pellets will jam, and the slimmer profile pellets just slide out of the clips. Keep it simple and get the Beeman FTS Double gold 8.64 pellets and you will be happy you did. No lead fouling in the barrel and better trajectory and grouping. Other Crossman and benjamin pellets above 8.4 gr should work well too, but no exotic or sabot style pellets at all. Get the extra clips for cheap and load up on CO2... you will have a blast!

Things I liked:Gret rifle. Hardy and lightweight just like the 1022 it copies. It has nice fiber optic light pipe on the fron sight tht compliments the rear notch iron sights. I scoped mine and shot a couple of caterpillars off a leaf at about 20 feet, no kidding, it's that good. Best value for the price unless you wanna be a heavy hitter nd

I scoped mine and shot a couple of caterpillars off a leaf at about 20 feet, no kidding, it's that good. Best value for the price unless you wanna be a heavy hitter nd invest in hundreds of $$ for the .22's that need a scuba tank or something. The monte carlo stock makes it easy to level up for shots and the cheap spare mags are a must if you really want to enjoy this gun. I love the way the mag box drops and it is easy to maintain. Things I would have changed:I have no issues with the little whipper snapper. It is well designed for what you get and pay for. What others should know:Scope it. The $$ you save on this baby should put into getting good heavy ammo, lots of CO2 and a gun case to keep it in. You will be keeping this gun for a long time if you look after it well. Crossman has a winner here. Kudos!

Things I liked:Great heft and durability so you know it is made to perform. Accuracy is excellent once you get the iron sights lowered. Power is amazing, you can really tailor it to the range you like. I took this out to 50 yards and easily hit cans and tennis ball sized targets.
Mine seems to like the Beeman FTS Double Gold 14.66 pellets

Mine seems to like the Beeman FTS Double Gold 14.66 pellets a lot. Incredible accuracy with them and no lead fouling in the barrel either. Trigger pull is light and crisp the way I like it. The heavy barrel means it shoots where you point it.
It loads nicely with the bolt action and is very quiet for the blistering power it delivers. I was pleasantly surprised at that. Also, the pseudo 1911 style grip make it easy to handle and acquire sight lines... it is a well thought out gun, very much like a ruger. Things I would have changed:The stamped serial number looks a bit cheap for the Benjamin name. I bought the scope mount so I could attach a scope and it wobbled like a drunken sailor. After I rigged it a bit to hold the scope mount firmly, I attached a scope and started shooting dime sized groups at 25 feet. Nice.
The iron sights are dialed way too high, so I had to screw mine down all the way before deciding the scope was the way to go. Should you choose to go the scope route, you will understand why it will make you a target master with this little beauty.
Also, the grip is a bit awkward on the pump lever for the kind of power some shooters may need, so be careful not to bust a knuckle. Pehaps a little texturing on that pump grip would make it ergonomically superior, but no worries, just take your time and pump slowly but firmly, keeping fingertips away from the underbarrel area, and your finger off the trigger. What others should know:If you can overlook the obvious but minor faults, you will enjoy this gun. It is by far the best value I have gotten on a .22 air pistol anywhere. The fact that it does not need any CO2 or gas is nice... so pump away, load up on ammo (heavy domed) and go for it. You should really like this. Safe and happy shooting!

Things I liked:Love the heft and build of it. I ordered the extra mag for it so I can reload fast and keep going. It is ultra realistic. Extremely accurate and powerful. Almost too powerful for my indoor range setup. I made easy one inch groups at 15 feet just because the extra power makes it shoot high at short distances. The bbs went through

Almost too powerful for my indoor range setup. I made easy one inch groups at 15 feet just because the extra power makes it shoot high at short distances. The bbs went through 3 layers of package grade cardboard easily. I am very impressed and budgeting for another one soon. Things I would have changed:Honestly I would not change a thing it has everything I want in an airsoft pistol. Got lots of shots about 90+ or so before the co2 started to slow down. What others should know:Powerful beast. If you are using this in skirmishes, please use about a 15 - 20 yard engagement distance or you could really hurt someone. Alternatively, use .25 or .28 bbs. Any which way, this is a winner.
