By Mario Morrell from USA on 2012-01-11 08:49:11 Things I liked:The trigger, the sights, the balanceThings I would have changed:Nothing What others should know:Did I mention the trigger. It is crisp, no creep and light. This is a heck of a bargain for $65. Would I buy it again? Without a doubt. |  |

By L from USA on 2012-06-01 09:02:36 Things I liked:well builtThings I would have changed:accuracy is terrible What others should know:About as accurate as a slingshot |
- 1234
- Things I liked:very easy to break barrel, light trigger pull, feels good in hand, light weight, accurate.
Things I would have changed:I wouldn't really change much at all, its a pretty straight forward basic design that works. - Things I liked:Easy to cock. Easy to load. Accurate at 10M range.
Things I would have changed:Add dovetail and/or Weaver/Picatinny rail. Add 3-dot or contrasting colors to existing sights. Orange front & white outline rear would be perfect for all.
What others should know:Older model shows different rear sight. Older model shows dovetail. New ones have none. Would be nice if were able to use red dot sight. Difficult to see sights in darkened area. A little paint on the front sight helps. - Things I liked:built like a tank, comfortable grip
Things I would have changed:Sights on current model totally different than gun pictured on box. Rear sight flips up on EVERY SHOT and has to be lowered back into position by hand. Trigger is pretty crunchy now but i've heard it should smooth out after 200 or more shots.
What others should know:Gun is capable of producing good groups with right pellet and decent technique. I'm usind TechForce domes and hollow pt. wadcutters and both shoot well. I'm sure a premium pellet would shrink groupsize. - Things I liked:My grandson and his kids will still be shooting this.
Things I would have changed:Nothing - Things I liked:very nice gripping position for my hands. easy to cock. sights have windage and elevation adjustments that worked good. No issues with point of impact as i read on other reviews. gun feels solid. very fun plinker and accurate.
Things I would have changed:trigger has some creep but for the money i think is very good. cant think of anything else!
What others should know:the gun did not come with extra seals or mainspring but did come with a cleaning rod. - Things I liked:this gun is extremely easy to shoot and very accurate. light weight and simply built. rear sight easy to adjust for any range. well worth the money.
Things I would have changed:since the pistol is so simply made and functional, no change required.
What others should know:not the most powerful of pistols, a good garage shooter. - Things I liked:This gun is a lot of fun to shoot! It's a little clunky and big for my medium sized hands but I have a hard time putting it away once I start plinking with it. It's pretty accurate with the right pellets. On my copy the trigger failed after a hundred rounds or so. P.A. repaired it (or swapped it) and now it shoots great.
What others should know:Some pellets are very hard to load in this gun, so try different ones until you find some that are accurate and easy to load. Mine loads and shoots best with RWS Diabolo Basic and Beeman Wadcutter Coated pellets. - Things I liked:Super accurate at close range.
Things I would have changed:Nothing really I just don't like the way it looks
What others should know:Fun for target shooting and it has a good price. - Things I liked:Very Accurate easy to cock and a wonderful trigger mine is 1.2 lbs. Nice sights.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:A blast to shoot have lots of pellettd. - Things I liked:Well built, easy to cock, nice trigger pull, good sights.
Things I would have changed:Requires a slight break in (not a big deal) and also a bit of getting used to if you aren't familiar with spring-piston air guns.
What others should know:Mine likes the standard Crosman premium points and wadcutters. This gun is big and heavy but yet is well balanced. It's a ball to shoot, so have a lot of pellets handy. Also, it's a great value at Pyramyd Air's price of $66.00. - Things I liked:Well balanced,light trigger, easy to cock, accurate. This is a very nice gun easy to shoot. It is well built solid feel/
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:This gun seems to like a heavy pellet. Stay at 10 dr. or more. Yes you get more velocity with a lighter pellet but accuracy then suffers. If you want a fun plinker or paper target shooting gun buy it you will be happy. - Things I liked:Great gun..Nice trigger and shoots strait..I like everything about this gun...High velocity pellets work well and hit on target...Good sights and easy to cock..
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Makes a weird noise when cocking but i found out thats normal.This is a keeper. - Things I liked:Very accurate easy to cock nice trigger. Had it sighted in in 20 min. and I am not a real pistol person. It will become a real favorite of mine.
Things I would have changed:Wood grips as an option would be nice.
What others should know:When sighting in do not bench rest it doesn't like that. Once I figured that out I had it sighted in in about 10 shots. - Things I liked:I LIKE EVERY THING ABOUT IT VERY ACCURATE EASY TO LOAD EASY TO RE SET GOOD TRIGGER
Things I would have changed:NOT A THING
What others should know:BUY ONE YOU WILL LIKE IT. - Things I liked:Accuracy, balance
Things I would have changed:Refine the trigger
What others should know:This air pistol exceeded my expectations. After a 500 round break-in period and learning curve, I cleaned and lubed the pistol per the owner's manual and it now shoots sub-1" 5 shot groups at 7 yards (the diagonal distance of my garage) when I do my part. I applaud the Russian engineers and workers who built this pistol. Great value! - Things I liked:Good heft with a a reasonable grip for my large hand; sights are easily adjusted; priced quite nicely on sale
Things I would have changed:Trigger is a little mushy. A bit more polishing in the trigger group would help. There isn't much take-up, though.
What others should know:This will be a learning curve for quite a while, compared to the crisp triggers I'm used to. Accuracy so far has been completely dependent on this shooter, so it may be ok. Time will tell. - Things I liked:smooth cocking,accurate airgun. great bang for your buck.very accurate and easy to shoot all day.
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:great for all day plinking and just having fun! super easy to sight in and even easier to have fun shooting accurately. - Things I liked:It's easy to understand why so many have bought this pistol; it's the coolest springer that I've shot, and I own four springer pistols. It's light, easy to cock, has improved sights, and it's quite accurate. It also has a light, quick trigger. It's effortless to cock, making long shooting sessions a breeze. No, it's not a powerhouse, but it doesn't need to be; it was designed for 10 meter practice. The manual explains how to tear the pistol down for maintenance, and included a blowup with all parts identified. It comes with a cleaning rod for convenience.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:Pellets need to be pushed into the breech; a ballpoint pen, or a small Allen wrench will work. Buy plenty of pellets for this fun gun. - Things I liked:Break the barrel to charge very smooth, compare to $500dlls pellets guns, sights are easy to adjust.
Things I would have changed:the trigger are not 2lbs, the pull weight is like 12lbs. very low power, a increase 100fps will help a lot in cause do you want to try pest control
What others should know:accurate is good but is impossible to made a good tiny groups with the heavy trigger pull. change the trigger to 2lbs as specification says, and barrel braking piece change from plastic to steel.CommentsBy Donald from USA on 2012-12-17 0 
Strange I measured mine it is exactly 2 lbs. - 1234

Things I would have changed:Maybe it's just me, but I thing the front sight blade is too wide (as is the rear sight's notch) for easy and accurate aiming. My Sheridan Blue Streak, for example, has a narrow blade and notch, and it is really easy to be more precise when aiming.
What others should know:If you shoot this gun immediately after shooting a Crosman 2240, you won't like the 2240 as much as you did before you shot the 53m. It's the trigger and the quietness that spoil you with this gun. It's a real pleasure to shoot, especially indoors.
