I like everything about this air pistol. This one was purchased as a gift,; I already own one. It is an exceptionally accurate gun for a small price. It points well and the sights are easy to pick up. If this one would brake or just wear out I would by another one.

Nothing at all, if you tried to improve it you would probably ruin it.

Stop looking at it and buy it.

I like the optic sights that is very useful. The weight of the gun is just about right not too heavy or light. Virtually no recoil. After adjusting the sight I was doing really well at 10 yards.

Cocking this gun is no easy task. You had better be careful not to pinch yourself when cocking it because it will hurt. It did seem the more I shot it it did get a little easier. But still it does take some effort.

I mean for what this gun cost its a good value for the money. Its a good little plinker but I am going to pursue a spring gun as hopefully the cocking will be a little easier.

Very accurate. Excellent sights. Excellent trigger. Fits my hand perfectly. Didn't cost much.

Always seems like it's trying to bite you when you close the overlever. It hasn't yet, but I've only owned it a few days. One power level, no adjustment for indoor shooting. Closing requires a fair amount of force (I understand why, but it does make the gun unsuitable for women and small children). Don't care for the 'slide'/overlever coming unlatched after every shot.

I love-hate this gun. Love its accuracy, trigger, sights and fit; hate closing the overlever while trying to find a good place for my hand. Oh, and I love the price too; Cadillac performance at a stripped Chevy price.

Great gun, for accuracy, and cost. Amazing how accurate this is for plinking up to 35 yards. Loading the pellet may be a little unusual until you get used to it. Also, you may need to try several different pellets until you get some that work well. But you'll be pleased with the results.

Customer service at Beeman is very poor if you have to return under warranty. Ive been trying to call them for over a month regarding a failure while under warranty and I can never get a person to answer.

Good value.

Rear sight is flimsy. Pin falls out. Parts go everywhere.

Takes effort to compress. Not for the faint hearted.

Nice and light. Excellent trigger pull. Sights easy to adjust. Great value for the money.

All good.

Very accurate pistol and for the price you can't go wrong it has a very good trigger and shipped very fast

Nothing

Ridicoulously inexpensive. Pretty accurate. I like the trigger (light, lots of take-up and a clean break). Doesn't hold like a target pistol, but OK grips. Construction is cheap Chinese, but adequate (quite good considering the price). After 100 rounds still shooting OK.

At this price?!

Why haven't you bought one (OK, they are Chinese)?

Price, trigger and accuracy.

Made in China

I have a few CO2 guns but prefer this gun because I can shoot for 10 minutes and not have to bleed the air out of the gun.

good accuracy for what it is. lots of fun.

safety should be on the right side.

buy it you will be happy

Great trigger, much better than more expensive pistols I have, A bit of a bear to load.

nothing

Buy it you won't regret it.

Excellent value for the money!!! Excellent trigger ! I have two , practicing all the time. I replaced the o rings at both, really easy. Fantastic for indoor practice or outside no more than 8 to 10 yards. Use good pellets ( RWs )

Nothing

Perfect for practice low price, very accurate and fantastic trigger

very accurate . you don't get many "flyers" with this well made air gun.

rear sight is part plastic and can break while charging the piston.

be prepared to spend a lot of time having fun with it.

Almost everything. (I have two of these) Absolutely Fantastic trigger! Zero recoil. It's very accurate with just about ammo. Shhhh! It thinks it's a rifle. :o)

A better rear sight would be an improvement. The sight actually works fine but moves around when you cock the weapon. (I secure mine somewhat, with a piece of electrical tape across the adjusting screws) I'm sure it would do great with a red dot or scope, but I'm afraid the sheer brutality of the cocking procedure would keep it from staying where you dial it in.

Okay, it's NOT the easiest thing to load or cock. The safety is for "lefties" It's big and kinda clunky (but it's also very cool!) :o) In spite of what I've written here; You'll L-O-V-E this gun.

Nice weight, sturdy construction despite the plastic housing but at this price point it is a great value. Smooth trigger, accurate at 10 meters, and the sights are easy the see regardless of lighting conditions

The pump requires more effort to close than other pistols I have with similar design. I would think this is the trade off for higher velocity.

No CO2

Nothing. Works as I expected.

Maybe offer the correct Lube for and Lubrication areas.

EXCELLENT FEEL AND WEIGHT

Wish it were a bit quitter- border line on backyard friendly

It is a little hard to cock for this 74 year old - the price of having a hard hitter

Accuracy and price.

Cocking is on the hard side but for just paper punching I drilled a new air inlet hole 1 3/4" down from the end of tube only lost 50fps but the cocking is easier, trigger has creep in 1st and 2nd stage but with a little work it can be real good!

Nice heft, sights are readily visible and alignment easily acquired, very accurate (with the right pellet).

Loading method is - strange. There should be more room in the chamber area, and even better would be a groove or ramp. Trigger is a little uncertain and slightly vague at release. Also - BE CAREFUL when closing it when loading. Dont ask how I know that.

This pistol has a great deal going for it. Inexpensive, accurate and holds well. But - mine is very picky about what pellets shoot well. RWS Basic pellets will keyhole every time. RWS field pellets are dead on - but hard to find and expensive. I am still experimenting with other makes and types. Has good power. Could be used as a ratter at 15 yards or less.

Price. Accuracy. Trigger is great.

Don't like fiber optic sights, too bright. Molding around rear sight was sharp, fixed with a file in 2 minutes. No big deal at price point.

Great for the price. Shoots a little over 1" @ 10 meters off the bench with whatever pellets I had laying around. But who cares about that? I can easily roll soup cans down the trail at 20 yds off hand, plenty of fun to be had for not much money.
