    Things I liked:as a 6 ft 150lb adult with big hands, it felt smallish but comfortable in my hands over all ,right out of the box i really enjoyed it.
    Things I would have changed:i agree, the trigger is a little odd at first,but after over 1k rounds i dont notice it as much
    What others should know:great choice as a kids beginner, not too bad for an adult. mine is a great shooter "right out of the box" i would definately buy another one.

    Things I liked:Good accuracy, Low enough velocity to use indoors with a pellet trap.
    Things I would have changed:The stock, it is too high to line up the open sights. Offer the same gun with a wood sporter stock with correct ergonomics for the open sights. The gun was returned since I planned to shoot the gun on an indoor range and cannot use a scope I also didn't want to take a band saw to the stock to make it fit.
    What others should know:This would be a great gun if the stock was ergonomically correct for the open sights. It would work fine with a scope. ...2 stars for the poor stock design.

    Things I liked:Price, sights,cocking effort,non beartrap barrel.
    Things I would have changed:Safety location. Trigger length/feel. I also removed material at the bottom of the grip to add comfort for my pinky finger. (hey, it's a youth model)
    What others should know: I bought this for fun....it is! I'll start by saying the price is right. The gun is accurate. The sights are easily adjusted and the fiber optics makes targeting easy and fun. The trigger is LONG... but you get used to the almost two stage feel of it. The safety is awkward to use, but they made the gun ambi so... (I'm a lefty((not politics))). The most fun I've had is rapid fire shooting. Being that this gun has a non beartrap cocking, (once cocked the barrel hangs loose) one can use your index finger of the holding hand to hold the barrel open while inserting the pellet and then just flip the nose of the gun while removing the safety and bring the gun up to fire. When done smoothly the rate of fire is fast and FUN! The best I did was to shoot ten cans in one minute!!! TEN!!!! Try THAT with ANY other breakbarrel. Mitchrx7
