Being able to quickly take a second shot at a pesky gopher.

Loading is a bit tricky, of course more practice will help,

The Chaser pistol has a LH bolt, which took me a bit of time to acclimate to, the 7-shooter magazine makes shooting a bit easier.

It's my backup, perfect for the job it's meant to do.

make one that's not so costly, if that is possible

this is not my first rodeo been buying from Pyramid for a few years I am happy with them

Great mag. Have used them several times now. Work perfectly

Nothing.

I thank you very much for the availability. A very good magazine functions well put quite a few pellets through it. I am pleased with them and about to purchase them again

Nothing

Good magazine get some

IT'S NICE TO HAVE THE EXTRA SHOTS FAST

NOTHING

By far one of the best air pistol purchases I made. As reviewed by many others, this gun is affordable, accurate, and fun to shoot.. Great way to sharpen your pistol shooting skills in your own garage or backyard. Have shot approximately 1500 pellets so far, the majority with Crosman Premier 7.9 gr hollow points and averaging 370 fps with no issues so far. Comfortable pistol grip and lightweight in my hands. Great way for cheap pistol practice time without leaving home.

As stated by other reviews, the cocking of this pistol does take a little effort but after a bit of practice, you get used to it and it is not so bad. Not very easy but still manageable. The single shot loading is a challenge for those with stubby fingers, but I found angle tweezers help make it easier to load those tiny 177 cal pellets.

When I first purchased this, I thought wow, I'm really a terrible pistol shooter . My point of impact was was all over the place. Bought a dovetail to picatinny rail adapter ($9.99) and a cheap micro red dot ($21) from ebay and what a big difference it made on accuracy compared to shooting with iron sights. I was able to split cards with the help of this optic. Tight groups from both bench shooting and offhand was easily obtained when I do my part. As with any new firearm clean out the barrel to take out the oil and debris left from the manufacturing process. I ran at least 10 patches with Ballistol and dry patches before all that black muck came out. I also took apart the piston and cleaned and inspected the piston o ring and breather hole for burrs and regreased the cylinder. There are YouTube videos to help you with this. These would be a great gift idea for any gun enthusiast. I know I'd be thrilled if someone gave me one.

7 shots watch YouTube to learn how to load it

Better alignment of mag to barrel have to jiggle it to reload

Easy to load and when the mag is empty, you can't close the bolt.

I can't think of anything.

For my 22 pistol, I get 7 shots so it's probably a good idea to buy extras

love my airbug not the mag will probably load individual pellets

kind of flimsy!

Nothing

Everything

On the second properly Loaded pallets the magazine jammed and I had to disassemble the gun he did slight damage to the bridge I would not buy one again you’re better off shooting with the single tray

Works as advertised. Convenient to use.

Takes a while to get used to the loading procedure. It would be nice if the pellets could be loaded all the same way/direction. Pricey.

It works. After your last shot it blocks the bolt so you don't dry fire the gun which is nice.

Load all the pellets from one side of the magazine. Lower the price - many other magazines are significantly less.

Loading it is a little goofy. You have to load the first pellet tail first with the magazine on one side, then you flip it over and load the rest head first. It is a little confusing at first, but you get used to it

It works if you like having extra clips since only one comes with the stormrider

a little less expensive so we could buy more

My storm rider woodstock is a well made product typical of Diana.

Compact, reasonably easy to swap out, better than single loading a pellet

Should be better quality for the price ($19.95 each)

Don't drop it. It may crack like one of mine did.

Enables multiple shots.

Because it is a relatively tall object that sits on top of the rifle, it can be blocked by the overhang of the Picatinny or Weaver Rail. The rail can be pushed back (towards the butt of the rifle) but then this may cause the scope to be too close to the eye and not have enough eye relief. In either case, using this with a scope a/o rail is problematic. I would also change the fact that there is NO information whatsoever on how to load the ammo and mount the magazine. NONE of it is intuitive, but there is no video on your site and instructions are not included. Sure, AFTER you figure it out you don't need a video or instructions, but by that logic, one wouldn't need instructions for ANYTHING. This would be the biggest thing I would change.

If you have used this exact magazine before, then no problem. If you have not, be prepared to be frustrated in trying to figure out how it works. Once you do, no problem, but it is not intuitive and worse, there are no instructions. There are a bunch of YouTube videos you'll have to find and wade through (including a bunch by various knuckleheads who actually have no idea how to make an instructional video and one who actually did it incorrectly several times and couldn't figure out how to edit that part out forcing you to sit through it until they got it right! Ugh! Really? But once you get your "a-ha!" moment, it should be good. If you are out shooting pests, the magazine is very useful. For target practice, however, while it's nice, it really isn't necessary, and I find myself just loading it manually one by one. It's fast enough and it seems you don't run into jamming problems as much.

Can shoot multiple rounds, which is important for varmint hunting.

Can't speak to the design as I imagine it's well-thought out by engineers BUT I can speak to the total lack of helpful information on how to load and mount this$%#@~# thing! Starting with no instructions in the tiny box it comes in. No instructions or helpful video on the "Support" tab on the website of Pyramid Air or even the OEM Diana website, part of which is in German (although this is probably made in China like the Chaser set.) What is most annoying is that AFTER a long an arduous process not only to load the thing, but then figure out out it goes on the rifle, you have an "A-ha!" moment of self-discovery and it sort of makes sense - but not before that. Let's face it, it is a unique, weird shaped device, with a certain unintuitive process to load the pellets that the unfamiliar user would not necessarily think to do and only would do with some fear of breaking the magazine in the process. WHY NOT JUST SHOW US HOW TO USE IT AND INSTALL IT IN THE FIRST PLACE??!?!?!

You will have to educate yourselves on how to use this magazine and load it by shifting through hard a dozen dumb$h!#$ "expert" YouTube videos, (probably including the one where he doesn't even edit out all his mistakes including him saying, "Hmmm, not sure what the problem is..." before you piece together how this works. After that, it's easy.... Another piece of advice - the AirChaser is very accurate out of the box, but, if you wear glasses or just have aging eyes, consider getting a red-dot site (rather than scope) which are pretty cheap on Amazon (some as cheap as $25!) and checking it out. The rifle is a bit short for a scope, but the red dot sights are so short they can easily be mounted the proper distance from your eye. It makes shooting a lot more fun!

I bought this for my Chaser pistol and it works great

None

works great

nothing

no issues with spring as reportedby some

I now have four of them that I use on my Diana Stormrider and Chaser!

nothing

A little tough on big hands. Mine are normal!

Good value for the price

A better spring system

One of the three I ordered worked well..returned the two that didn't for a prompt refund.
