Crosman 1088 Air Reviews

Lightweight, I am shooting Crosman SSP 4.0 grain lead free pellets. Great velocity and they also have a pointed version of the pellet available also. Decently accurate. Is a close range pistols 10-15 yards close target radius.

The looks of the trigger for sure, but for the velocity and price its good.

It is plastic but looks pretty good.

Most everything except "Things I would change"

It is almost impossible to load the CO2 cartridge. It required 2 pliers and a lot of force, and I almost broke the screw unit. Am I doing something wrong? Please help!

Great little gun. Nice feel an balance.

first gun I bought and still love to shoot and I have several with more tac gear on them and more power. Very accurate once you get acustom to the kinda long trugger pull. Great gun for the money. Would recomend this to anyone.

nothing ast this price

trigger pull is kind of long but not to bad

Great value for the money & quite accurate with pellets. Feeds reliably but use good quality pellets only. I added a laser sight to the rail which helped accuracy.

A fully adjustable rear sight like the previous model (Crosman 1008) would be nice. Also a little extra weight would be better.

Good to purchase some extra magazines. The gun is a little plastic looking but that is ok given the price & performance.

I like the look and feel,easy to load,shots per Co2.and the price is very fair.Accurate and shoots hard.

the trigger pull is a bit hard,add some metal for weight gun is to light.

Great plinker and fun to shoot.people always say crosman gun are made cheap,well i think because most of there guns are mostly plastic dosent make cheap but cheaper to make all my crosmans stand up to my abuse and have had few problems in the past 45 years so you do the math.Just need to be a little more careful not to drop them to many times.

Looks sleek, feels light, shoots +/-75 pellets per CO2 cartridge, reasonably priced, easy squeeze on cocked single shot, fun semi-auto action.

I would make a version with removable front & rear sights in various colors (silver, gold, white, yellow, red, green) to accommodate different lighting/background conditions.

Caution! Airgun looks authenically real.

accuracy at my indoor range is fantastic....

make the gun heavier, i added a laser site to it just for the weight, i dont need the site though, sites were good out of the box, can hit 16 shots from 25' and group them in a quarter sized group..

fun to shoot gets about 80 shots per co2 cart. definately better accuracy w/ pellets fps much higher than rated with certain pellets have chrony and tested all my guns

Not a BAD pistol for under sixty bucks ! ! Trigger pull and sights do need help ( read below )

sights and trigger pull

I am a target shooter so accuracy and trigger pull is important . With at least mine right out of the box trigger pull on single action was bad but it does " break in " after a hundred or so shots , and you will still find there is trigger "creep" meaning pull it back untill you feel resistance , stop , get you sight picture , than fire . As far as sights I tried a lot of fileingsights , but no help . i than called STACEY at PYRAMYD AIR and she suggested a LE Tactical Laser Sight , item # LESCP-LS168 selling for $ 25.95 . Best money i have spent , I now own a gun that will shoot groups at 28 feet you can cover with a quarter ! ! THANK YOU STACEY and PYRAMYD AIR FOR HIREING AND HAVING SUCH A KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON......................

STRONG,ACCURATE,FITS GOOD IN HAND

THE ROTATER ONLY HOLDS 8

VERY FUUNN TO SHOOT AT TARGETSS

Strong and accurate with pellets. It can fire BBs, but not as accurately. I purchased the 1088 kit which contained a pair of shooting glasses and a BB/Pellet sampler. It's nice looking and lightweight.

The 1088 should come with additional clips. I would like to see dots on the sights, because a grey target renders the front sight almost invisible.

I'm getting about 40-50 shots per cartridge. Ilove this pistol and can't put it down.

This is a fun, easy to shoot pistol. The accuracy is pretty decent with pellets. For the money, it is great!

An extra magazine or two would be nice. An elevation adjustment on the sights would be fantastic.

This is my first CO2 pistol. I just bought mine this Saturday and am shooting 2 inch 8 shot groups at 15 feet with pellets. Don't waste your time shooting BBs. I could do better by throwing them. I have large hands and this pistol fits me well.

I do not know what to say other than it's fairly accurate at close range and looks good.

The gun is built along the lines of basically all other co2 pistols. It is a bit of a forgettable shooting experience when you have a dozen others from other makers making guns very much like it in looks and firing charatistics.

It's a fairly genaric gun. Buy this or another like it from daisy, gammo or others and they all feel and look pretty much the same. I have to look at the gun carefully to figure out if I am firing it or another one.

The gun looks nice and feels good in the hand, the gun is also pretty accurate and the safety is easy to operate with one hand.

The screw in CO2 is just a bad idea when you can purchase a gun for the same price that has a much better mechanism for installing the CO2. I own a Daisy powerline 008 and this gun, and after owning both I wouldn't recommend to anyone to purchase an air pistol with a screw in CO2 mechanism.

If you purchase be extremely careful not to tighten the screw too tight, I was very careful as I am with all of my possessions and within a 1000 rounds the gun is in poor shooting condition and will only get off about 10 rounds per cartridge because it leaks.

The 1088 Crosman seems to be a reliable pistol. Close to being accurate. I like the weight and fit, I hope the weight does not negatively affects its dependability.

Since I have just received the 1088, I have not used it to the point of commenting on its reliablity or its longevity. I like the light weight. It is easy to handle. It is close to beiing accurate, but not as accutate as I thought it would be after having using a Walther CP99.

CO2 cylinders progressively loose their power and it effects the accuracy of any air pistol.

While this is a lite weight pistol, I use it mostly to plink in my basement and to practice self-defense moves. I do this in my basement when the wife is not home.

I would like to see better sights, perhaps green or white optics to help acquire the target a little faster.

I use it to introduce shooting to my grand children, nephews and nieces and they always have fun and learn gun safety.

Fits good in my hands, good power, accuracy good, points well, well priced for the value of this pistol. Weight of pistol feels good, looks good, fit and finish good. Buy one, I did and I like it!

Crossman should include extra ammo clip/clips and container of Pelgun oil with this pistol package even though it might would increase price. Trigger pull could stand to be a little smoother and shorter but not too bad as it is. I would like to see grooves on top of the pistol to be able to mount a dot sight or scope.

When installing CO2 cartridge, be careful not to overtighten, if done so, the seal could be damaged, which will result in a leaking pistol. This is a good value pistol for the money spent, well worth it.

Surprisingly accurate for the money. Sufficiently heavy (not like a toy) and feels good in the hand.

The trigger is rather rough.

Mine developed a serious leak in the chamber with the second CO2 cartridge. Pyramid made everything right; sent me a return UPS label and allowed me to exchange it for something else (I upgraded to a Beretta 92). However, the return process was painful. Given the price, I think this pistol is worth the gamble - if you're just starting out and don't want to spend much. But I would buy it locally in case it needs to be returned like mine.

I like the fps on this gun and its accurate as well. its does have a toy like feel do to the low weight of the gun. I recommend this gun for the accuracy and the fps.

would have made it a bit heavy,mostly plastic gun!

Nothing,its worth buying for the accuracy and the fps 430fps!

This was the first(of many) gun I purchased from pyramyd air around 6 months ago and to this day it still remains one of my favorites. I attached a Leapers Tactical Laser Sight and have been hitting bullseyes every time!

Nothing really...

Somewhat feels like a toy gun BUT THIS IS NO MEANS A TOY GUN! It's very powerful and accurate

feel barrel is awsome power no jams sa/da trigger lazer rails adjustable sights

to much very strong plastic trigger is wierd NEEDS TO BE CLEANED ALOT

I modifyed mine to look more like the Ruger kp345 by cutting down the grip and drilling little air vents to cool the grip. I have a crono and it showed 457 fps with crosman diablo crsmn hollow point no. gamo magnums no, pba no, gmo rocket ys, crsm pointed ys, all wadcutters
