Page 8 - Crosman C11 Reviews

looks and feels like a real gun

the handle

get a lot of clips

semi-auto is sweet! Plus you get about 10 clips per co2 cartrage

the flang that covers the co2 cartrage is very flimsy

it holds 15 shots not 18. buy a big box of co2

POWER and ACCURACY!! This gun has more power than u think. Very good accuracy within 100 feet after that the bb goes another direction. (The gun could go farther then that).This gun shoots fast and is easy to use i got about 100 shots per tank

The co2 cover slides to easily

not a toy dont shoot at hard objects.

POWER! This gun has great accuracy within 100 feet! after 100 then the bb goes right, left, up, or down.I got about 100 shots on 1 tank.Shootes as fast as u can pull the trigger!

The co2 chamber slides open to easy.There should be a lock.

Make sure to put one drop of oil on the tip of every co2 tank. This cleans the gun and makes it last longer.Great gun!

the look is great, the feel is just . Not too much trigger pull. Very accurate. Like the ad says pull the trigger as fast as you want and fires every time, no jams. I impressed myself with this gun. Loading is easy, co2 is very easy to load and the seal is very good. I let the gun set for 4 days with co2 in it and picked it up and it fired like I had just loaded it.

adjustable rear sight would be nice

be prepared to shoot lots of bb's

I like the size,shape and feel,very comfortable to use.The price is reasonable and seems to be fun for target shooting.

The plastic cover is too sloppy and is a poor design,but can easily fixed some tape on inside of cover too take up space. Also no dovetail on top for scope or red dot.

Buy extra clips.

The look , FPS , and accuracy. I kid you not. My 6 year old Son hit a squirrel target from 20 feet away. Yes it was 6 out of 18 shots , but he is 6 years old . My Son loves his C11 , and enjoys learning gun safety and shooting with this pistol. I fired this gun from about 23-25' at 3 inch shoot NC targets and was nailing the target about 12-14 times out of a 18 round clip. I would have NO trouble beleaving that a well trained or pro shooter could hit a 2 or 3 inch target 18 out of 18 shots from 25-30' I would never have in a million years beleaved a BB pistol could be so accurate if I hadn't fired it with the results I posted. I'm even more convinced since I have only about 25' of space to practice and am not that good yet.

The slide back grip that exposes the co2 holder. It is cheap thin plastic , and tends to slide out some when holding / firing. The slide should have a latch or something to keep it still.

Buy one of these great BB pistols , and have faith that it will indeed nail your target if you practice. It's a given that you will nail your target/s if your a self or well taught shooter. Buy extra mags-- LOTS of extra mags because my Son and I went through at least EIGHT 18 round mags well before the co2 was spent.

Semi auto fun! Good power! Feels good in the hand. I use it as a substitute for practice with a real semi auto, as I can use it in my backyard without scaring neighbors. Till I hear how the hopper fed Drozd Blackbird works out, and if it will take external air, this is it for me.

I don't need a laser on this. I want a top mount for red dot optics.

Other people do not seem to have mentioned reliability, but the pistol hangs up/jams frequently if the magazine spring has not raised the BB all the way up into firing position. Sometimes I get no jams. Other times at least 50% of the time. It's like, fire, misfire, release magazine, fiddle with magazine, reinsert, try to fire again.

The looks! The power! The price!

To cosmetically enhance the look of the gun further...a smooth barrel surface maybe?

This gun shoots good out of the box. The releasing "hook" on the magazine have a 50/50 chance of NOT engaging when you insert it into the gun. I personally just unzap it BEFORE inserting it into the gun, works every time. A great buy!

very nice gun for the price. like how it feels, looks, and acts realistic to the actual gloc. nice gun for the price.

nothing

compact fun to use. i bought 3 of these guns and me my wife and my brother shoot together.

the mag release could be beefed up, my one gun broke release after shooting maybe 500 bb's. thats all i would change

Heavy, realistic looking, very powerful and easy to load. This gun looks and feels like a real 9mm, really compact and heavy, the metal clip drops out of the handle just like a real semi-auto gun. Great quality metal mags/clips with a solid feel. Just add a laser sight to the barrel rail and this baby rocks..!!!! With the C11 pistol the only thing you'll miss is a high price tag. I don't think there is any other gun that has what this one has, for even close to the price.

The flimsy grip or CO2 cover desperately in needs of a locking system.

I decided to try a Rubber Slip'on Grip, like the ones used in real semi-automatic pistols and, guess what...it works great!!! The pistol feels very good in your hand with a nice and solid grip and at the same time holds the CO2 cover tight and in place. You can buy a rubber grip for a very affordable price but the only problem is that you have to remove it everytime you change CO2 cartridge :>(

Very powerful, loud, easy to load, last for over 90 shots on one Co2.

Some kind of lock on the handle cover would be nice.

This is the most powerful air hand gun you can buy. I shot it in my garage, it went thru 2 large cardboard boxes and right into the garage door. Also it is loud (I like this though) so your neighbors might wonder if you are firing a real hand gun. Seems about as loud as a 22. Buy 2-4 extra clips and you will be good till the end of the C02. If your looking into a powerful air hand gun don't pass this one up.

Good feel and size...operates well...accurate enough for defence practice...loading system not awkward...decent DAO trigger.

Nothing.

Good for point shooting practice. DAO trigger and sight system not great for bullseye shooting. Careful of BB ricochet.

this gun feels like the real thing,really compact and heavy,the clip drops out of the handle just like a real gun,and it's a metal clip,not like daisy's plastic ones.Good trigger,and seems to shoot about the same velocity for like 100 shots,unlike most co2 guns that seem to slow down after a few shots.

maybe the co2 cylinder could be easier to put in

Hi-Power,Magazine not revolver type,Cheap,accurate,light,Semi auto,can buy spare mags,and the looks

nothing really

Like most guns, the accuracy will be off a little with rapid fire

First.. Although the specs say 15 shots, I had no problems putting 19 in the mag & had no problems shooting four mags through it loaded with 19 bb's. No jams or problems whatsoever! Thought that was a nice surprise. :) it can ONLY be shot double action. The hammer does NOT move! However, the barrel DOES move! It actually extends forward from the plastic a little over 1/4 inch just before the trigger breaks, & then recedes back when the shot is fired. The trigger pull is long & it takes some time getting used to remembering exactly where the breaking point is, but it does break fairly crisp for a $40.00 gun. Power? I don't have a chronagraph (although I will soon), but by comparing to other guns that I DO know the velocity of, I can say that yes, it's probably around 480 fps. I was impressed with the gas consumption, or shall I say the lack there of. It is pretty efficient for 480 fps! Again... Not bad for a $40.00 gun.

Accuracy? My vote is still out. As for now, I wasn't THAT impressed. I am a pretty good shot & can typically keyhole shoot any consistantly accurate gun, be it a rifle, pistol, a real fire arm or a pellet/bb gun. (See my post on B.B.'s review of the Gamo Wheel gun.) However, in all fairness,it was cold out (around 50 degrees, maybe less)& my gun may be breaking in. I put a couple of drops of Pelgun oil on the CO2 & was using Crosman Copperhaed bb's. That might have an effect as well. I don't know. I couldn't get a very tight or consistent grouping. Most of the shots were off to the right & no tighter than 3" resting at about 25'with a few scraggliers. With my Gamo wheel gun, I can shoot a 1" grouping all day long. I'll wait until I've fired a couple hundred rounds through it, & for a warmer day, then try again & let you know.

Conclusion for now; The looks, the feel, the capacity, & the power, are not bad at all for a $40.00 gun! It's pretty good & fun for what it is. A $40.00 plinker. I know I must have said $40.00 a dozen times, but it was to make a point... As long as you keep in mind what you're getting vs what you're paying, I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great gun for the price, & I don't think there is any other gun out there that has what this one has, for even close to the price. So if you want an inexpensive plinker that's good looking, has good power, & fun to shoot... BUY IT! If you do, I recommend buying two extra mags, as it comes with one, but you can easily get three mags from one CO2. - The Big Bore Addict -

I liked the feel of the gun, the weight, how the clip drops from the bottom and, I like how the co2 screw is hidden in the handle

I wish the co2 cover was more sturdy, maby if it had a locking part that held it in place

great gun for the price and fun to shoot

Man I really love this gun, and enjoy shooting targets with it, has great hitting power, CO2 valve worked fine so far no leaks, good heft on the weight, buy some extra clips this baby rocks I added a laser scope it mounted very easily underneath the barrel.

minor annoyance, easy to hit the magazine release button, which makes the gun misfire when the magazine slips down,

Trigger pull feels very authenic nice pull. gun looks and feels very authenic.

For barely any money, this is a well constructed fun "sub-compact" plinker. It's a well balanced design and has a little weight to it. Great for training if you own a subcompact.

I wish the CO2 cover/grip had a sturdier or even a locking latch. Over time, it could become an issue.

Buy some extra clips, you'll have so much fun blasting through the BB's.
