Things I liked:

Compact, F.O. sights, F.P.S., trigger, holsters cool. Crossman takes the cake on co2 bb guns.

Things I would have changed:

I personally wouldn't change anything.

What others should know:

I liked the c-11 tactical so much that i bought another one, then the c-31 for now i have 3 clips. Still bought 2pk of clips from pyramid for around 15.00 and would reccomend you do the same.....Its just easier, and now can let others shoot with me without down time. MARKSMAN PELLETS!

    Things I liked:

    Power/accuracy and it will shoot well over 100 BB's with one cartrage.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing

    What others should know:

    I own this pistol and the Berette Elite 11 I like them both but the C31 has florescent sights which makes it so easy to see the target even after dusk has gone. One note the rear sight came loose on mine afer 25 shots and was lost in the grass. Crossman sent me a replacement within 2 weeks. I put some silicone on this one to prevent it from spinging loose again. The holster is an added plus.

    Things I liked:

    Sights-super fast target aquire with these.Mag release-much better than the C11,this one doesnt drop constantly. Good hefty feel,accurate,steady/consistant power,plenty of shots/cartridge.Utg lite mounts easily to lower rail.not overly loud,good pistol for price.

    Things I would have changed:

    Send more mags!! The C11 mags do NOT work, although they LOOK almost identical.some difficulty charging CO2 due to tight space with grips back.

    What others should know:

    ive killed 4 rattle snakes this year with my C11,so im a BIG Crosman fan. Have had such luck with it i got this 31 and, with a few adjustments,..loving it!

    Things I liked:

    The fiber optic sights look good and give a Great sight picture. Powerful shooter even though the co2 cylinders still last 100+ shots. Very nice holster comes with it.

    Things I would have changed:

    magazines won't interchange with my other identical-looking mags. Don't care for the triggerguard mag release. Front sight hangs on the holster. Early gas seal failure on my 2nd C-31.

    What others should know:

    After shooting the Beretta Elite 2 and the Crossman P-10, liking both, with each having separate qualifications to me. Beretta: big, accurate, good-looking. The P-10 much smaller, handles fast, hits hard, and fairly accurate for a short sight radius. Purchasing a C-31 Crossman, I liked it's size (between the Beretta and the P-10) and hard-hitting power and impressive fiber optic sights,an excellent holster included for $45, making the C-31 itself cost the same as the smaller, plain sights P-10($35). I didn't like the C-31's triggerguard mag release, but got used to it. I soon discovered the fact that Beretta's and P-10's mags won't lock in into the C-31, giving me only one magazine to shoot with. All the magazines looked the same to me. (I don't go out to my garden without 3 loaded magazines.) The C-31 shot disappointingly low, a waste of the nice fiber optics. Right away I found the front sight protrusions to catch the holster both in and out. Trimming both ends of the sight gave better holstering. On a whim, I ordered 2 more C-31s, giving me the two extra mags. The next C-31 shot staighter, but the gas seals failed after 600 shots. So, I shelved that one and packed the next. It shoots fairly accurate, and I've put some 300 rounds thru it. I've sort of "dialed-in" my shots back with my first C-31, and it hits consistantly and holds the co-2 well so far. Overall, I've been somewhat disappointed with the C-31 experience.

    Things I liked:

    This gun has a lot of power, reasonably accurate, and a bargain. It ia a typical value Crosman product that is well made, and performs reliably. I have chronograph-ed speeds of up to 550fps with this gun, with an average speed of over 470 fps over 60 shots. I get a lot of shots from a co2 cartridge, and it is fun to shoot.

    Things I would have changed:

    Not much. The system is basic, but it works. It is not as heavy as the metal guns, but it is still fun and it performs as advertised. This is another safe and quality gun from Crosman.

    What others should know:

    Buy extra magazines and use some kind of loader to load the mags with BBs. If nothing is available, use a straw and bend the back end, it works. I have had co2 in the gun for several months and it still fired with power. But, this is not recommended.

    Things I liked:

    I've had this pistol for about 3 months now. I haven't had any problems with it & it's holding up very well. It's also pretty accurate & a blast to shoot.

    Things I would have changed:

    I wouldn't change anything. If it had blowback, that would make it really cool. All in all though, for the money, it's fine the way it is.

    For the money this is a great gun! It is accurate (after adding a laser), the CO2 lasts a very long time & it does not jam.

    Nothing

    Adding a laser allowed me to consistantly hit a 3.5" steel plate at 30 feet.

    Things I liked:

    Fiber optic sights are great! Nice feel. Not too heavy, but also not "cheap" feeling. 18 round metal clip will last forever. Price. Holster also holds 2 extra clips. Simple operation and care. Power. CO2 power-let last a long time.

    Things I would have changed:

    I would like to see either a lighter trigger pull, or user adjustable trigger pull. Trigger pull is hard enough to cause accuracy issues.

    What others should know:

    Get extra clips! You will need them when plinking. The gun is so much fun that you go thru 18 rounds really fast, and will appreciate having the extra clips ready to snap right in.

    The best of the BB/CO2 pistols. Excellent power good styling sturdy construction. Bought one for me and my son and had a ball. Everything worked as it should, no malfunctions. Very impressive power and accuracy. The 18 shot magazines worked flawlessly. Bought two more mag's for each of us.

    Rating 4.04.0 4.0

    Things I liked:

    The size and feel of the grip is comfortable. The higher fps velocity provides for significant hitting power for an air hand gun while providing for a flatter trajectory and improved accuracy. The fibre-optic sites are a definite improvement for more accurate sighting. the magazine that comes with it is metal and snaps easily into the grip signifying a well engineered fit. It is also nice to have the pistol accompanied with a holster.

    Things I would have changed:

    The trigger requires too much pull, which can affect the pistol sighting by pulling it slightly to the side at the time of discharge. It would be a significant help if the user could adjust the trigger pull. However, this is something that the shooter learns to adapt to. The pistol grip pulls back to insert the Co2 cartridge. The design is convenient, but I found that the grip feels loose and on two occasions I actually pulled it off the pistol by applying too much backward force. A tighter fit is needed. The cartridge slips into the grip and there is a plastic screw finger hold that snugs it up to the point where the cartridge is pierced. A metal screw mechanism, rather than plastic, may be a better design for durability. The front site snaps into a groove, but can accidently move slightly off center if bumped or when using the holster. Once I get the siting to my satisfaction I will most likely glue the front site in place.

    What others should know:

    Overall, I am very pleased with the pistol and recommend it to others. It is a great all around pistol at a very good price. As with any higher powered gun you must be very careful before you shoot to have a clear area and avoid hard surfaces that could cause the BBs to be deflected due to the higher fps velocity.

    Things I liked:

    This Crosman C31 is a great gun. it conceal the C02 cartridge very nicely. it also comes with a great holster. it holds about 18 bb's and i highly recommend this for beginner's or veteran's. it is a great side pistol. Also the Copperhead Steel bb's that i used was very strong. it even has a built in Rail for my TLR-2 tactical light and laser.

    Things I would have changed:

    Everything about this C31 is perfect. but if i had to find something wrong then maybe if they would of offer a left-handed holster, i would be very happy. Also if you take out the clip before it is emptied, 1 bullet will fall out.

    What others should know:

    Make sure that you purchase extra clip's because you will empty you clip very fast!!!!!!
