By William Davis from USA on 2011-07-26 06:25:57 Things I liked:This is an update. Since I last wrote I installed a 1377 butt stock and the Crossman intermounts to fit a Beeman 30mm 4x scope. It shoots like a rifle now! Will shoot one hole groups at 20 yards, around one inch at 30. I will post photos as soon as I figure out how.Things I would have changed:na What others should know:This past spring while at the river my gear got soaked, including this gun. It suffered no ill effects. Ofcourse I blew all the water out as soon as we made camp, but was unable to properly clean it until I got back home. This gun has been shot a lot! I value reliability and have not been dissappointed. Pyramyd still #1!!!!!!!!! |  |

By Customer from USA on 2013-01-13 01:29:32 Things I liked:This does seem to be a nice gun as the reviews indicate. However, mine came with the front site off center. I opened the 2 allen screws on the bracket that holds the barrel in place and tried to rotate the barrel to get the site back on top. It didn't rotate very far. Maybe there are more screws up front somewhere or else the site itself needs to be repositioned on the barrel. I guess it will be workable for now - hate to go through the hassle of exchanging it. Not sure how many stars to rate it based on this. (No, it wasn't a matter of adjusting the windage, the site really wasn't mounted top dead center.) |

- Things I liked:for the price its very good.not much junk hanging on it.clean and mean.
Things I would have changed:the rear sight is junky.need to up grade it
What others should know:you call the shoots on this one.try it. - Things I liked:liked everything about this pistol. upgraded to steel breech & bolt. replaced rear sight. replaced grips with shoulder stock. awesome plinker. shot great straight out of the box before upgrades.
Things I would have changed:front sight
What others should know:added glow sight paint to both dots on rear sight & also on front sight blade. was hard to line up on black background on targets. now I can hit taget in total darkness. - Things I liked:Price, accuracy, reliability, and ease of maintenance! Within 30 yards very accurate, my 2240B can still shoot .5 inch groups and hit cans with ease. 2240C also shoots .5 inch groups and smaller.
Things I would have changed:make a shrouded barrel version for higher price.
What others should know:Buy this, it is affordable, accurate, and powerful. If you have one great decision!CommentsBy Victor from USA on 2013-05-01 0 
At what distance were you shooting 0.5 inch groups? - Things I liked:the gun is one of the best co2 pellet pistols i ever bought the balance , accuracy ,power is great
Things I would have changed:i wld love if this thing came with a clip, then i cld be like billy the kid or the duke
What others should know:this thing is powerful so do let kids pick this gun up and play with it . - Things I liked:Great bargain at $57.00. Nice power for a .22. Accurate out of the box.
Things I would have changed:Sell it with the steel breach, not the cheap plastic. I put a steel on mine. What a difference! Needs a trigger mod. Too much pull for let-off.
What others should know:There are after market trigger mods available. I got a "super sear" from Archer Airguns. $9.00... It did the trick on the trigger. Buy this gun you can't go wrong! - Things I liked:Powerful, excellent design, accurate, looks good and feels good in the hand. The grips are actually quite comfortable for plastic grips.
Things I would have changed:I wish the bolt would stay open when the breech is opened. A little bit lighter trigger would suit my style better.
What others should know:I have had this for about three weeks, 250 shots put thru it. It has taken me a while to get used to the proper sight picture for the distance I am shooting but then that is part of the fun of learning a new gun. I get about 40 good shots on a powerlet but the gun shoots hard and it is moving a big pellet so I guess that is why the shot count is a little low. Once I get the sights figured for a particular distance, this gun is quite accurate. Great value for the money! Do watch the video review for this pistol, which explains that the first shot on a new CO2 cartridge is always a dud. I would have thought something was wrong if I wasn't expecting that in advance. - Things I liked:Everything about it is great. Totally reasonable price, very powerful, accurate.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:I bought this gun for my Dad who is pushing 70 years old. He lit up like a little kid when he got it! He's a great shot too- and this gun makes it easy. The big 22 slugs load smoothly. - Things I liked:Very accurate,feels great in your hand right out of the box! I love the fact that you mod this gun out! The C02 is easy to get to and change! Has an easy trigger thats smooth! I own 2 of these one in .177 in a pistol with a BSA scope, my second is a .22 carbine with a Center Point rile scope! Both have 10'' barrels! I have run all grain and size pellets though both and never had to adjust sighting with in 45 yrds! A true small game hunter!
Things I would have changed:Put a steel breach on it instead of plastic as the base model!
What others should know:Highly accurate with all barrels! Donot buy without a steel breach kit for .177 or .22! Longer the barrel the more feet per second and foot pounds! This gun in both .177 and .22 like heavy lead pellets.... - Things I liked:I like everything about the crosman 2240. Acurate,reliable, not too costly, and lots of available custom modifications. Looking at the two 2300s now, a little more expensive but already have some upgrades, steel grooved breach, ect. I like crosman and metal guns, have a pretty nice collection of vintage metal guns, they can be re-built over and over, as long as parts are avalable.
Things I would have changed:Should come with a groved metal breech.
What others should know:Metal, metal, metal, cared for and sometimes not, it last. Plastic gets broken and damaged from heat, chenicals, and mistreatment. If you collect and a new plastic gun comes out that you like, buy two, chances are it won't be in production long. - Things I liked:Power, price, accuracy. Lots of full power shots per cartridge. Best value of all my air guns. Feels good in your hand (I am a lefty, not all guns are good left or right handed).
Things I would have changed:If I were in charge of Crosman I would figure a way to make it a "Repeater"...
What others should know:According to some experts leaving a CO2 cartridge in the gun doesn't hurt a thing. I have left a bottle with maybe half in the tube for days; and then gone back and shot the gun with no problems. The system doesn't leak at all. Unopened CO2 lasts for years by many peoples comments on forums; so I take advantage of Pyramyd Air's price and stock up on the 40 count box. - Things I liked:ilove this gun ,balance perfect ,power great , well mad product
Things I would have changed:i wld make this thing a repeater ,it would be perfect
What others should know:if you get this gun , get the roundball ammo easy to load and quick for shooting those nasty water bottle - Things I liked:I bought this 2240 because I didn't have a 22 cal. pistol powered by co2. So far this gun is quite accurate, holds it's pressure without leaking, and after 50 shots on a co2 it still shoots through both sides of a soup can! I'm happy with the gun!
Things I would have changed:It would be nice if it came with wood grips! It would also be nice if it had more visable led sites or flouresent sites!
What others should know:When installing the first co2 cylander it didn't get punctured all the way and wouln't fire. I found out you have to really screw it in real tight with a big screwdriver! For some reason it took a lot of pressure. I don't know why! - Things I liked:Right out of the box, great feel, good fitment. No issues what so ever with the loading of the CO2 bottle. Nailing a 1" group of five from about 25 feet shooting freehand (with the stock open sights). Using Crosman Premier Domed pellets. Feels good, shoots good (powerful and accurate
Things I would have changed:If I could make it a repeater (without sacrificing anything I would. That said, "It's fine just as it is."
What others should know:I have a few pistols and rifles; this is the best overall value of all. The most fun to shoot. - Things I liked:Useful accuracy, timeless design, and incredible aftermarket support for those who can't leave well enough alone.
Things I would have changed:I will be changing the barrel, breach, valve, trigger, grips, and finish. However... if asked what actually needs to be changed, or, what I could change that wouldn't knock it squarely out of it's extremely attractive price point... I got nothin'.
What others should know:Although the finish is not as refined as the ancient 130 I'm still shooting, the build quality has not dropped a bit in 50 yrs. A superb value. I bought this one just to enjoy modding, but am now seriously considering getting another specifically to leave intact... and then try to shoot the rifling out before I turn to dust. - Things I liked:Light weight in hand. Rear sight is switchable from groove to peep sight. This air pistol is easily modifiable with available third party upgrades. Shoots and handles beautifully.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:Heavier pellets require more hold over on targets at further distances, lighter pellets no so much. - Things I liked:This is one of the most versital guns I have ever owned. So much fun to trick out. Makes a really neat rifle with an extended barrel and stock.
Things I would have changed:Don't like the plastic breech and front sights. But for the money you can't expect it to be top quality. - Things I liked:Things that I like are that for the money it is a very nice buy. There are so many items on this pistol that can be customized. Straight out of the package its just so much fun to shoot. I have bought to of these 2240 and have customized both of them one with a 10 inch barrel opens sights and so much more. The second one has 14 inch barrel and allot more. Easy to load being a 22cal and its not that picky on the pellets you decide to use. Dollar for dollar I'm more than happy with this 2240 and I get about 50 shots on one co2 cart.
Things I would have changed:For what I paid for the 2240 I see nothing I would change. I see others saying wood grips, steel breech and so on. But with any improvement means more money and just being able to make changes on this pistol is just plan fun. I bought these for shooting 10mm in my garage target practice. And I'm 62 own a couple higher priced pistols like the IZH 46m that I really like but still shoot and have so much fun using the 2240.
What others should know:A fantastic pistol for the money and just plan fun to targets practice with. And to me shooting and having a good time is what its all about. Enjoy and be safe. - Things I liked:This is without doubt one of the greatest values in air pistols today. Accurate, sturdy, easy to work on and mod. I mean, you have to make this gun miss on purpose. Sure, out of the box she's a bit rough, but a diamond in the rough. I have replaced the trigger spring with a lighter one, which improved the action a lot. I think I can get it even better in time. I put a 10" barrel on it. No way to gauge any gain in velocity as I don't own a chrony, but it sure looks and feels great. Added a steel breech and mounted a Leapers UTG red dot scope. The next thing to be replaced is the horrible grips. I have some walnut target grips from Gmac on the way. Crosman, really, you have to offer better grips than those black plastic atrocities. So, to wrap this up, my praises for this gun could go on and on. Bottom line is it is one fun gun to shoot, economical with CO2, fun to work on, and did I mention deadly uncannily accurate?
Things I would have changed:Trigger spring and grips.
What others should know:BUY ONE! NOW! Then buy another to mod. There are a ton of aftermarket upgrades for this gun. I have heard it said that this pistol is the Ruger 10/22 of airguns. So have fun! - Things I liked:The price is hard to beat for the amount of fun you can have with these guns your whole family can enjoy without breaking the bank.
Things I would have changed:Things I usually change are trigger pull and smoothness, if the factory changes then gun will cost more.
What others should know:Look around the internet and you wont believe all the info on these guns. Pyramyd Air seems to be a stand up company in my dealings with them,I've bought six pellet guns so far without any kind of problems at all, thanks Pyramyd Air. - 123 ... 910
