Things I liked:Very accurate. Enough power to kill anything you shoot in the ribs. The round balls will be found under the skin on the far side. Doesn't always leave that good of a blood trail.By Sean from USA on 2011-09-28 07:38:22

Things I would have changed:I wish the people at Pyramid Air would, at least occasionally, ANSWER THE PHONE! I had to buy an accessory from a competitor, who WAS available to answer my questions. But the gun is great.
What others should know:Only that if you want to buy from a vendor who is available to help, look elsewhere.CommentsBy Dan from USA on 2012-01-18 07:26:58 1 
I have always received quick answers from the staff. They do get busy as any other high volume dealer would. A little patience on the callers behalf goes a long way. I spent many years in sales and know it can be hectic at timesBy lamar from USA on 2012-01-09 06:51:41 2 Man...talk about a difference of opinion...Pyramyd Air almost answers the phone before it rings every time I call them...

Things I would have changed:nothing at all
What others should know: Dont over fill it keep it at 2700 to 2900 psi and it will shoot accuary
Things I liked:I purchaced the used sam yang 909s , the gun is fun to shoot and very accurate , the best grain bullet i found is the 200gr hp , though i use others . i like the power for a pellet gun , better than i anticipated . i bought the used one because other companies said that pyramyd air is very reputable and they would not hesitate to buy it from them . the employees with pyramyd exceeded my expectations. i plan on hunting with it soon and can't wait , with a 230 gr bullet at approx. 1500 psi at 25 yrds it went almost halh way through a 4x4 . very powerful , i plan on buying with them again . the staff are friendly and very knowledgable . i would recommend pyramyd air to anyone ,customer service is exellent , they are very patient where as i can be a pain.By Brian from USA on 2010-11-26 22:43:17

Things I would have changed:if i knew what i was doing i would put a better cocking bolt on it . overall i am very satisfied .
What others should know:no doubt get a scuba tank for this gun it will save you more than just time .CommentsBy Customer from USA on 2011-08-23 22:31:21 0 Brian, you mention shooting half way through a 4x4 with 1500 PSI at 25 yds. Have you ever tried to repeat the process with a full 3000 PSI fill?
Things I liked:this gun is what i was looking for in a big bore aire rifle....it was relativley inexpensive and still does what the other custom guns do..By Greg from USA on 2010-08-14 02:34:22

Things I would have changed:offer this gun with a full tune..
What others should know:the 909s in the hands of a tuner is a thing to behold...I've tuned my gun to give me 5 full power shots at 300 pfe using a .454 round ball 143grns....thats 950fps..before you buy this gun make shure you have a GOOD backstop and that you have a scuba tank or even better an scba tank...i have 2 scuba tanks and an scba tank and i can burn through air faster than lead when i take this beast outta the safe....but that said this will turn non-believers into airgunners...CommentsBy Ryan from USA on 2011-10-19 23:18:38 0 Hi Greg, my name is Ryan and i just purchaced mine two months ago, and love it! I am curious, who did your tune?By Customer from USA on 2011-08-23 22:35:13 0 Sorry Greg, I should have mentioned that I am extremely interested in purchasing a 909s if there is a chance of getting the results you speak of. Thanks friend.By Customer from USA on 2011-08-23 22:33:41 0 Greg, your results to tuning is very impressive. Would you post or better still email me at rsindela@stny.rr.com with the procedure you used to accomplish this "fine" workmanship?

Things I would have changed:Allow for an upper sling mount. There may be on, but I have not been able to source it. The price was way out of my comfort zone. Don't tell anybody(wives/family) what you paid for it and all will be well.
What others should know:I'm new to high powered airguns. I was suprised at how hard the .22 pellet hits at 50 yards. No chrony or instruments, just plastic juice bottles flipping through the air with that ever so satisfying thwack! Trajectory is very flat. From 15yds to 50yds, no scope adjustments are needed. I love this pellet gun.CommentsBy Customer from USA on 2011-01-08 19:53:50 0 22 pellet? This is the 45 caliber reviews...
Things I liked:The gun is very solid, well made, its very accuarate, who would complain about how loud it is, I love it!!!! Im very picky when it comes to airguns and I am completely Happy. In the woulds it sounds same as .357 mag. not kidding. the recent line also has a guage on the 909s like the big bore 44 909. it is very well balanced, very pretty to look at, I have no doubt it will kill anything deer size and smaller, its very safe gun because its a two step process to fire. It does shoot the .457 round balls, in fact the instructions clearly state it is intended to shoot .456 to .457 ammo, even though the barrel is .454, bullets are always bigger than bore size to grab the rifling.By mark from USA on 2010-06-01 02:39:38

Things I would have changed:you know to be honest the air fill port cap can slip off, if the inside was grooved to recess the gasket it would lock on, or place a screw through the end with flat head. also a bolt action style breech like the DAQ's would be nice, but this style is certainly safer, maybe make the sights a little smaller or move the rear sight forward for scope. in reality I am still very happy and its still perfect the way it is.
What others should know:the 200 grain slugs from airventuri are awesome, for coyote and game that size the 170 grain hollow points will drop them instantly, even at 100 yards. you will love this gun, it can be tuned easier than the sister 44 909. both are .454 bore size, get a short scope with a small objective lens, make sure its a rifle kind and not for airguns because this has recoil like a modern firearm, this gun is a gun, not a pellet gun or bb gun, its not a toy, you will have to go to the country or rifle range to shoot it, its loud but I like that. go to a scuba shop and buy a tank for 150 bucks used, and buy the fill station from pyramid air, thier hard to find. accept in paintball stores. I have been shooting the .457 round balls, very accurate, yes they are designed to shoot them, pyramid air says thier not on the .457 round ball page but thats why they sell them, the ammo for the 909s in all grains from airventuri are .456 to .457. I am looking forward to the many adventures with this gun, if you plan to shoot squirells good luck finding whats left. this gun will kill a 300pd hog in the head. take care of it, and it will last. dont waste time with a hand pump, it takes alot of air, and scuba fills it in 3 sec.CommentsBy waynem from USA on 2012-01-11 14:31:18 0 The comment from another David is 100% correct, the reticle on and normal high powered rifle is braced for recoil towards the shooter to the rear , and when foward recoil ocurrs the retile breaks loose.Captain Wayne.By David from USA on 2011-11-22 10:37:05 0 Mark,This is from another David, and the other one is EXACTLY CORRECT! Air gun scopes are braced to handle massive recoil in BOTH directions, which they MUST do to handle the recoil of magnum airguns. The recoil from a magnum springer is MUCH greater in BOTH directions than any magnum powder burner! SO by all means use air gun rated scopes on this gun or ANY other. Even up to and including the T-Rex!By Customer from USA on 2010-08-23 03:15:40 -2 most people who know scopes know you can not put a rifle scope on a air gun, because the spring causes it to recoil in the opposite direction. and when air gun scopes are designed to compensate for that dieactional recoil, modern firearms recoil much more, without compare, but they need to absorb from recoil toward the rear. air rifle scopes will brake on a modern firearm, its not about which is tougher, look it up. they are built according to direction of recoil, that is the differance.By David from USA on 2010-08-06 09:28:06 -3 You erroneously seem to think a rifle scope is more durable than an air gun scope. They are NOT! Any good air gun scope will prove to be much more durable than even the best of rifle scopes. They were designed to handle the recoil of magnum spring air guns which were notorious about demolishing even the best of rifle scopes. So please folks use a good air gun scope on this gun. I use them on all my guns including even such beasts as the .416 Rigby and never have a problem. They ARE better!
Things I liked:Accuracy is tops. Beautiful wood grain and finish. Overall workmanship is excellent.By Ronald from USA on 2010-04-17 23:43:58

Things I would have changed:A longer forearm will make rifle balance a bit better using a sling to carry the rifle. Make the front and rear sights removable for more flexible scope mounting.
What others should know:I do not know about deer sized or hog sized game, but I know this is a coyote and groundhog getter and a heck of a lot of fun to shoot.- 123

Things I would have changed:The trigger is way to stiff, but it was solved when I had it tuned. Loading port works fine, I just prefer bolt action.
What others should know:Well.. Like many others I had my 909s professionally tuned to close to 300 ft/lb and the trigger lightened up to 3.5 lb. Now I believe I have something to shake a stick at. Should've already came that way tho...
