Holds .177 pellets firmly, yet they are not hard to remove. As some have said, the straps are not super strong, but certainly enough to hold it securely to the gun. I really don't even notice it's there as the 34 P has a black stock and it blends right in. I have it mounted about even with the scope rail, with one strap going between the rings and the other just in front of the front ring. It serves it's purpose well and I recommend it. Things I would have changed:Not a thing. What others should know:

Things I liked:I received the .177 cal. on July 23rd, 2009. Open sites are very good - the front site now comes with a hood for protection. Very accurate (shooting at 25 yards) with the right pellet. Hits very hard too. I agree with Tom Gaylord's assessment, Crosman Premiers 7.9 grain, both hollow point and domes, shoot with fantastic accuracy

Very accurate (shooting at 25 yards) with the right pellet. Hits very hard too. I agree with Tom Gaylord's assessment, Crosman Premiers 7.9 grain, both hollow point and domes, shoot with fantastic accuracy. I also tried JSB Diabolo Exact domed, 8.4 grains, and RWS Superdomes, 8.3 grains. The JSB's were not as accurate as the Crosman's. The Superdomes were absolutely horrendous - the worst rifle / pellet mix I have ever seen. My 12 gauge shotgun patterns better. It's too bad as my RWS 45 loves the Superdomes so I have many tins in stock, but the 34 simply hates them. The gun is not as hold sensitive as most springers tend to be. The gun honked like a goose for the first 100 or so rounds when cocked, but has settled down very nicely after break in - which takes about 1000 rounds to fully break in. The noise level is on par with other spring guns, so in a back yard in a typical development setting, the neighbors will know your shooting, but it's not irritatingly loud. I had Pyramyd do the 10 for $10 test and it averaged 903 fps with 7.9 grain Crosman Premiers. Things I would have changed:The infamous RWS scope rail that allows scope creep due to the small scope stop pin hole. To stop creep totally, I followed Tom Gaylord's advice (he reviews the 34 P - check the blog) and used a Beeman 5040 1-Pc Mount with the scope stop pin hanging in front of the scope rail. Barrel droop is also an issue with many RWS guns. The one piece mount allows you to shim in between the mount and rail instead of just under the rear ring. I put 2 strips of film negative between the rail and rear part of the mount and one piece between the scope and rear ring. I've shot about 2500 rounds with no creep at all. I believe that Pyramyd now sells a scope mount that corrects both of these issues right out of the box. They do sell the Beeman 5040 mount mentioned above too. What others should know:For the price, it'd be tuff to beat this gun. I'm extremely happy with the purchase and I do recommend this gun.
Things I liked:The pellets are clean and not many with damage. Shoot fairly well in my RWS 34 P, though not it's best pellet. Also shoot well in my RWS 45 and 1377 pistol. With Pyramyd's "fourth tin free" deal, the price is good, even with shipping. Things I would have changed:No screw on lid? Come on, how amateur. I dropped

With Pyramyd's "fourth tin free" deal, the price is good, even with shipping. Things I would have changed:No screw on lid? Come on, how amateur. I dropped a non threaded tin. Once. They scattered everywhere. And it is never going to happen again. The very first thing I do when I open a tin is put the pellets in a Crosman tin that has a threaded lid. Everyone at the range thinks I shoot nothing but crosman pellets! What others should know:
