Great value for price.

Need tool to load pellets, like black powder percussion capper. Inline pellet pen does not work! Tweezers?

Be sure "hammer" catch is closed all the way after loading and closing/pressurizing

What's not to like. FPS is right on with 7 gr diablo's. Single stroke piston means no CO2. Accurate, yes. Priced right.

Nothing

Back away from the board if you shoot darts. It will bury them.

Great to handle, no recoil and looks well made. Single shot single action so accuracy is always good.

The pistol is very hard to cock (for me a 74 yr old) but I suppose that can't be fixed.

I would not recommend using a pellet sizer on your ammo for this gun - I did and the pellets just fell out. The barrel prefers a slightly oversized or "standard .177.

Light weight and accurate

Ammo loading should be easier

Nice plinking gun for the price

Adjustable rear sights for elevation and windage.

Loading port is hard to access. Would make it easier to get to.

This pistol is extremely accurate. At 10 meters fired three rounds that I could cover with a dime.

The Beeman P17 is a well built very accurate pump air pistol.

The rear sight is loose and turns by every shot. I had to return it.

This is an awesome pistol. Very smooth trigger which is better than most air rifles. Sure beats the trigger in my Avenger.

It is a little hard to load the pellet but is ok once you get used to it.

For the price you wont find anything this good. It is my first and only pistol and I love it.

Well I am on my second one the first one pellets fell out of the barrel , the second one I just received pellet loaded an stayed in after I shot went to cock the barrel again and a bolt fell out couldn't see from top anywhere it came from fired second time rear sight and a spring went flying across the room so really there's NOTHING I LIKE

DiSCONTINUE THIS ITEM

DON'T WASTE YOU'RE MONEY OR PATIENCE

No C02 or pumping required and still shoots over 410 fps. Solid construction. Decent fiber adjustable sights. 3/8 inch rail for red dot.

More power if possible.

If you love plinking then this is a cheap well built plinker. When cocking make sure your hand is as close to the rear as possible and keep your palm and fingers in an open position. It does take some muscle to cock but the reward is worth the effort.

The trigger pull on this is real good. 9 year old could actually hit the targets with this pistol, & so could I. Auto safety & Good velocity.

The loading port is kinda of hard to hit for big fingers. 9 year old had a little problems, but will get better with use. Cocking is a bit hard & the 9 year old pinched his fingers once & then on I had to cock it, says it takes 28 pounds to cock & I believe it.

With a little bit of practice, I think we can hit some cans out in the back yard & different ranges. So far this is the more fun pistol.

I really like the trigger, nice smooth pull and clean break. Excellent value for the money. I like the fiber optic sights, very accurate right out of the box. I ran a tin of pellets through it so far and was very enjoyable. I also love not having to use co2!! I would purchase it again even though it was made in China. This a great backyard plinker!

A little bit if a pain to load. I have found that pointed pellets are a little easier to load.

If you are looking for a good cheap plinker this is it!! I am very pleased with the accuracy of this gun. This is my first Beeman and I am impressed!

Really nice product

The pressure to cock,, need to make easier loading

Shoots really good

Best pellet pistol for the money

Nothing

Just like real good cheaper pellet pistol, I ready have Beeman P17 which came in a case few years back and I have another also Marksman! I bought this one account the fiber optic sight I can see better in sunlight with it and the price was great!

The only change is the Fiber optic rear sight it broke after 6 shots on one side but doesn't work now I need to get a replacement.

Not to use for hunting really, I only use for target practice. Shoots about 400 psi depending on pellets. I love all 3 of my guns fun to shoot

This is a sweeeeet little gun. I like it a lot. I can't rate it solidly for accuracy, as I haven't shot it a lot yet, but once I adjusted the sights, it seems to shoot really well. I'm really glad the rear sight is adjustable and I like the fiber optics on both front and rear sight.

Nothing.

No recoil at all. Just a little 'tink' noise when you shoot it.

Great air pistol. Put 80 pellets through it. Very accurate and nice trigger. Nicer than co2s. Very surprised at the quality for a Chinese made product. Great job Beeman!!!

Not a thing

Accurate and great trigger. Not for the young. Target pistol only

Comfortable in the hand. Nice trigger and release. Weight and balance are good

Cocking force and comfortable place to put your hand when cocking needs some work. Can be challenging to seat a pellet in the breach. The design of the throat could use some work.

I ordered two of these, one as a gift and one to keep. When it arrived, one of them was missing a couple small parts. It has been a few weeks and I have not had success in getting this resolved with customer service.

Best value for the money! Great trigger, quiet, and accurate. Can't beat it with a stick, as they say!

Nothing.

I use a pair of tweezers to load the pellet because the space where it goes doesn't agree with my fat fingers. Because it is made in China, there are videos that show you how to "repair" sloppy places on the gun that could lead to air chamber failure. Simple to do and I have had no problems at all!

Not only is it cheap to buy, it is also cheap to run needing no co2 or proprietary pumps. But even with that if it didn't perform well it'd be a waste of time and money. Amazingly this gun is a lot better than I expected it to be and is fun to shoot being powerful enough to make holes in tins and knock targets over. It even looks nice! It seems consistently accurate with a pretty decent trigger and fiber-optic sights. It has now got me interested in the Weihrauch HW75, or the Beeman P1, which have a similar action to this gun but , apparently, with better geometry (easier to cock) and better quality - being made in Gerrmany. (On the other hand either of those cost about 10 times as much) This Beeman P17 I will never regret buying as it is accurate and doesn't need co2 to run which is not so great when it's cold anyway.

Well, it is made in China . . . but, apart from that, one thing is that the cocking effort is sometimes quite hard but not to the extent that I would not want to keep shooting it. One other thing was that I found Crossman Barracuda quite difficult to load. The hollow point and the ones with pointed tips are much easier as the loading area is not freely available as in normal break barrel types.

It is astonishing inexpensive for such a nice overall gun.
