like this pistol so much, i now have two of them!

low profile sights...so one can mount a scope and keep the sights.

it took a little work, but i got the Crosman 1399 Custom Shoulder Stock to fit! still have the finger grips on the front of the grip. need to buy an offset scope mount, then it will be really great.

everything! power! It is accurate right out of the box!

make this so the Crosman 1399 Custom Shoulder Stock fits.

The Hatson 25 Air Pistol is a Very powerful,accurate and is made very durable

Nothing !!

Aside from the lousy trigger which can be greatly improved as below, the accuracy is very good. Not too loud.

Trigger is horrible. Hatsan says "match grade two stage trigger". This is a joke. But it can be fixed! Breach was too sharp/burr'd to insert a pellet The dovetail mounting rail needs a stop or it should be a Weaver rail - after several shots my dot sight mount was destroyed as it slid out of the rails. Front sight dot frame is big enough to obscure targets.

First gun out of the box shot horribly to the right. Pyramyd customer service was AWESOME and very quickly replaced it. The second gun shot straight, out of the box. That said, the triggers on both guns were NOT adjustable. Hatsan puts headed screws in the trigger that bottom out before they can ever contact the sear transfer bar. So the trigger is long, draggy and just plain terrible. The only way to get adjustment is to drill out the un-obtainable screw threads they install and put your own adjustment screws in. Once you do this, you'll be able to adjust for a nice short first stage and crisp breaking second stage (if you hone the sear surface). Take note of the safety that blocks the trigger - make sure it is tight enough to actually work with a decent trigger set - mine needed a tweak. After doing the trigger mods, honing the sear, adding a sight stop and de-burring the breach, the gun is very good. Just consider it a kit........

Good power and accuracy (after mods) in a .22 cal. Sights are also very good, although the size of the front sight frame holding the red fiber-optic dot obscures the target. This is a decent start at a fun gun - it can be improved by the owner without too much fuss.

My first Hatsan shipment shot way right - Pyramyd Customer Service was EXCELLENT - they replaced the gun very quickly. The second gun shot striaght. However, the trigger on both guns was horrible. The "adjustment" screws bottom out before they even touch the sear transfer bar. Honestly, "Match grade 2-stage trigger" is a joke. That said, it can be easily improved by adding some real adjustment screws and honing the rough-cut sear surface that is easily accessible at the rear of the pistol. Another issue is the 11mm mounting slot - nothing stays put, there's no fixed stop. I ruined the mount of a dot sight as it just peeled off the rail after several shots. Either provide an integral weaver rail or add a stop. The breech entrance was also rough/jagged on both pistols, and would make inserting a pellet very difficult. This too can be easily fixed by the owner.

To have a decent trigger on this gun, drill out the holes for the useless who-knows-what factory screws and tap for 8-32 or similar screws that are long enough to touch the sear transfer bar. The first stage screw will end up useless and the first stage adjustment will go away when you get some adjustment on the second stage screw - you could just do the rear screw. Once you adjust close, the safety block will have to be tweaked tighter to still work (mine was very sloppy loose) with a decent trigger. It still isn't perfect, but it is pretty close. This gun is now a delight - great trigger, accurate, and hard-hitting. Lots of fun!

This has becom my favorite gun. Accurate as can be. Trigger excellent and adjustable. Sights are terrific no need for a red dot or scope. Very consistant. I intend to get the .177 version of this gun soon.

Nothing

Just get it you will love it. Also not to picky on ammunition I shoot Silver bear 12.65 , Gamo 15.43 Wadcutters and Benjamin 14.3.

Adjustable front and rear sights, trigger, auto safety

Cocking aid threads on, wish it was slip-on and somewhat longer.

I bought the .22 caliber version, this gun has a lot of power but recoil is well damped, the recoil ls less apparent then it was in a similar style .177 caliber gun I just returned to Pyramyd Air. Even so this is not a gun for a smaller person it takes considerable force to cock this gun. Over all I am quite happy with this purchase Sights were almost right on out of the box, trigger is adjustable but mine was fine out of box. Accuracy was very good and I think it will improve the more I use the gun. I like the look and feel of this gun also.

Great feel fits my hand properly. Very accurate. Adjustable trigger. Front and rear adjustable sights.

A slightly lighter cocking force would be nice.

Trigger comes set a bit on the heavy. One turn of the adjustment screw fixes that. Just about the most powerful .22 pistol on the market. You will love it.

accuracy and power.

weight. be nice if they knocked off a couple of pounds

this is going to be the most powerful break barell you can buy in either .177 or .22 cal bar none. chrono between 590-600 in .22 cal with regular lead pellets. i assume the .177 cal will get a solid 700 fps with reg. lead pellets seeing as the results i got. Great gun!!!

Well made,good sights and shoots strait.Has an extention you can screw onto the barrel for cocking purposes that you can leave on permanate.

Not a thing,i have a brownning 800 to and both in 22 cal but this one is for sure better.

Looks to me not to many purchase this but side by side to the browning 800 this one is better in my book and less money.

This thing is a beast,i got the browning 800 and a bunch or other ones and this one seems to be the best.Well made and on point shooting and very powerfull.For the money this is well built.Top notch in my collection..

Not a thing.

Buy this and you will have no regrets.Its cheaper than the browning 800 and seems better quality..

I like everthing about this gun except for the front sight.

front sight

I don't know what I think about the front sight the first gun I received the front sight was broken.I got a replacement and its fine.

The gun has Power and heft. The grips are great and have a good feel, not sticky, but non slip. the Recoil slide is a great, it does not have the harsh firing characteristics I expected. The thread muzzle is great. Trigger very functional. Overall great air pistol.

less plastic, metal sights. more metal and a little more precision in the recoil slide. maybe a 11" barrel with 2" brake, the use of the brake is almost absolute due to the cocking force, perhaps a little more velocity is possible with a longer barrel.

You'll want to use the muzzle brake, it the diff between day and night without it...much more fun to shoot if you don't have to struggle in cocking the gun. there is a little free play in the slide system that allows lateral flexing between the action and the lower grip assemble. I do not think it effect accuracy, but it might have been a little more precision. mine gun the barrel angle is so much as I'm not able to scope, I've maxed the elevation dial and still can't zero at 10 yards...I'm making a sight threw mount in my shop and will compensate the angle. I like this gun alot and should say for airgunners my age (early 50's) it is reminiscent of the Webley hurricane, except much more power and friendly to shoot. I've recommend this gun to my best oldest- friend, so it that good!

Good quality, nice to hold. Not a competition pistol but it is pretty accurate. I suspect with a scope, my groupings would be more consistent. Recoil suppressor is nice. Doesn't seem to be pellet picky.

Don't care for the design of the safety. It's position and function is fine but the movement feels cheap.

If your not a strong person, this is not the gun for you. I've had a couple of average built woman try to break and load the gun and they were not able to.

Nice weight and feel. Great out of the box accuracy with standard sights. Bought scope, but haven't put it on yet.

THIS AIRGUN IS VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TO COCK UNLESS YOU ARE AN OLYMPIC ARM WRESTLER. IT NEEDS A MUCH LONGER COCKING AID OR HANDLE EXTENSION.

We haven't decided whether to keep it or not.

The gun is solid and has a great balance for the size. The power indeed seems right as advertise, with lead pellets, not polymer light weights. Just doing some plinking at 10 yards I was getting dime sized groups, I'm impressed with this gun. It reminds me much of the Webley Hurricane some 30 years back, except it's putting out 700 instead of 500 fps, meaning it is right at 2x the FPE, simply awesome for a spring pistol. The metal parts are nicely finished and the plastic parts are ones that can afford to be plastic I've already recommended this gun to my best friend of nearly 40 year...So thumbs up for sure!

A metal lower frame would have been nice, but I'm sure the cost would be more. There is a wobble between the action and the frame on the slide, a metal to metal slide may have improved this situation. It does not seem to effect performance. Trigger is nice, but there is a little side to side play. The sights are nice, but could be a bit brighter, I plan to use a trueglow 2x dot sight anyway, but is would be nice for the sight be just a little brighter.

It's requires a strong cocking force, but the extended muzzle brake make it reasonable. the extended brake adds about 2" to the AOL and makes it about 5x easier to cock.

Power and accuracy. Mine shoots 22 CPHP pellets right at 500 FPS. Pistol barrel is beautifuly rifled and crowned. Fun to shoot and not too hard to cock. Like it better than having to pump 10 times for less power output.

The shock asorber system is based on a rail and spring slider on the synthetic body. Don't know how long this will hold up but after 1000 shots I dont see any signs of wear. Time will tell. Would like to see a shoulder stock made available. I believe this pistol would make a killer carbine.

Pistol is large and heavy but is balanced really well in the hand. Mine is still smoking a little after 1000 shots. Found that if I tighten the two forward mounting screws too much the gun won't cock. Have to back them off to just snug and everything works fine. Also there is a screw and sleeve on the cocking rod that keeps coming loose and fell off once. Luckely the screw and sleeve was not lost. I think it is part of the anti-beartrap that moves the safety into place. Will probably have to clean and loctite this part.

Heavy, not too loud. sights are pretty good. Fairly powerful, almost thru 3/4 plywood at 20 yards.

Grip needs to be a bit larger. Trigger travel length is kind of long. Wish it had a weaver/picatinny mount instead of the dovetail.

Almost out of the box I was getting 2" groups at 25yds standing shooting offhand. I'm really impressed! I bought a Hatsan 125 sniper at the same time as this and had nothing but problems with that rifle, not so with this! Heck, I want another one.

The power,the anti recoil system,metal cocking aid trigger ajustment

not too much"less plastic?

The 11mm to weaver adapter fits perfect on this gun use the cocking aid.overall a nice gun"It reminds me of the Webleyv Typhoon.

>gold trigger, >RH grip, >both sights adjustable, >.22, >cocking assist is screw on

nothing.

accurate and powerful. Hatsan build quality is legendary.
