Air Venturi V10 Reviews

Very accurate. Nice adjustable trigger.

Grips need some filing/sanding to be comfortable. Front sight post needs some color.

I really like the accuracy, trigger, fully adjustable rear sight, easy to load and the ability to adjust the hand grip.

I'm only into about 100 rounds thus far. So far, I can't think of anything.

Yes, The grip may or may not be for everyone. But it works for me. I remove the palm rest, so I could use both hands to shoot. I own so many airguns thought I would try something different and I'm glad I did. Very nice air pistol at this price point. Almost didn't buy, because of some reviews I read. I am glad I bought it. So if you are like me and own just about everything out there check this one out too. Good luck enjoy the sport and always be safe! James

Fun to shoot.very accurate.pretty powerful for a cock pellet pistol.very stable with that grip.Get one there so much fun

Nothing

For the price, the out of the box accuracy is way more than this beginner can imagine. Love the grip and the adjustable trigger. It's a quiet pistol too.

I realize this pistol is not about power, but ten meter accuracy and it hits the nail on the head, I'd like a few more FPS, but that's just because I'm a speed freak. This takes nothing away from the amazing pistol it is though.

The rear sight aperture is adjustable and that was huge because the gap in the rear blades as shipped was too tight for my liking. I like to see more of the front blade so the screw on the left side of the rear sight allows you to open the blade gap to your liking.

Well made, grip is good. All adjustments (including swapping grip) is easy with no guessing. Like the trigger. Rear sight with adjustable blade is outstanding. It's likely more accurate than I am, but still seems to throw a flyer one out of 10 or more. Value is outstanding. Do wish there were provision for swapping out the sights, but after painting the front blade gold, rear blade red and widening the slot it did settle right down for these 70 year old eyes. Overall highly recommended.

Not a big fan of plastic everthing - but it holds up well so can't complain.

Lots of fun setting up a target 10 meters (33') away and filling it full of holes in the evening from the patio.

Super sweet trigger, the pistol nice & light, the grip seems to naturally point the pistol for you. With this one, I know if I miss, it’s probably my fault. It’s quiet enough that I know I’m not bothering my neighbors. It’s so easy to shoot, the empty tins of pellets are starting to stack up.

Nothing, really. I wish it wasn’t more $$ just because I’m left handed, but whatever.

No regrets with this one. So far the H&N Green Match pellets seem to do the best, but I’m only a couple thousand pellets in. RWS Meisterkugelns are printing nicely as well as JSB Match Diablo’s. I shoot at a 3” metal disc at 50 feet & this pistol makes it easy.

Accuracy is great. The trigger is super out of the box.

At 80 years old, my eye sight is not all the good. The sights are not as easy for me to see as my Sig P320. I painted the front sight and that helped a bunch but the rear sights are still a problem. I have a Colt revolver with iron sights that are very easy for me to see and they are block. I would like a rear sight that is just larger. Otherwise this pistol is just what I want to use to maintain and improve my hand gun skills.

The first thing to like about this pistol is its accuracy and ease of shot prep, (open with press of button, release of barrel, load pellet, snap shut.) Simple and easy. Also the great grip

The fault in the V10 is how Air Venturi has secured the barrel, also the sites suck. I've used yellow nail polish to accent the front site. The real fault lies in the barrel attachments. A set screw that screws into plastic. I striped the threads trying to cinch it down. Then there's the barrel bracket, it doesn't work for the purpose it is intended to work for. I fixed that problem with a simple fix. I wrapped a single loop of Solder around the barrel in the indent where the bracket cinches' it down, and soldered it together, like an O-ring.

This is truly a great pellet popper, accuracy you can rely on, except for the faults mentioned above, it's a five star firearm on all accounts, because of the faults I knocked down the overall rating as well as the value for money.

Single pump load, no repeated pumping up every shot. Accuracy and feel are tops. The adjustability of the trigger and handle are sweet.

The only fault that I know of on this pistol is how the barrel is anchored down. It has a set screw that screws into plastic, (really.) Then there's the bracket at the other end held down with two screws. Even when screwed down as tight as you can get it, is not enough. And by the way, the bracket screws screw into metal nuts. When the barrel gets loose it misfires, ((don't replace the Breach Seal, just push the barrel back into the barrel housing.))

It's going to take some modification to get your money's worth out of this Fantastic pellet popper.

Size, including the grips. Love the way it looks. It is accurate, reliable and well-engineered.

Maybe add a 177-caliber rod, I did experience a bad pellet and need it to remove it.

I would tell folks to buy it. This is one of the best pellet pistols out on the market.

Easy to cock and load. The trigger is very good. The swivel trigger blade is very smart. Accuracy is very good.

This is a very nice pistol, especially for the money.

Great pistol for the money, more accurate than me. The grip is on a bigger side but it works for my hands. Really like that you can adjust the width of the rear sight.

The valve assembly got lose and the pistol would not hold air, hissing sound when charging. Thanks to an earlier review that described the problem and the fix, I don't have to send it for repairs.

Accurate with a excellent grip.

Sights are not the easiest to adjust.

Easy to load and very smooth trigger.

Overall it's a really nice platform. The trigger adjust-ability is awesome. And the wood grip leaves a ton of options on the table for a customized fit, or feel. The sights are decent, they are fully adjustable, albeit a somewhat coarse de-tent adjustment.

The de-tent adjustment on the sights could be finer.

It makes a perfect handgun sight alignment, Target acquisition training gun. Basement, garage friendly with a simple pellet trap.

Good feel in the hand and good accuracy. Nice trigger.

Would like options for different rear sights.

Single stroke gives great consistency. The pistol is pretty comfortable in the hand. The rear sight is easy to adjust and has a variable notch width. The pistol is pretty quite and can be shot indoors with no issues.

HORRIBLE Barrel. My breech section had Burr so bad it did not allow some pellets to be loaded or fired. I removed it and re-crowned it (it was much better afterwards). Accuracy stinks. I am going to re-crown the muzzle to see if that helps, but the rifling looks to be pitted in the barrel itself. Even after some exhaustive cleaning the barrel still performs like garbage. The Trigger adjustment is almost non existent and the change in pull at opposite ends of the adjustment travel is only ounces different. Receiver is not grooved so no scope or red dot (yes sure it is supposed to be a 10 meters competition pistol, but honestly if your entering with this thing, you are not serious). One of the screws that holds the grip on place stripped out the wood it was screwed into (really a $250 pistol that has the screws holding the grip on are just attached into the wood? I mean a brass insert would have added like $.06 cent to the total)

If you like to tinker, then this is the gun for you. My Beeman P17 shoots rings around this pistol (at 1/5 the price). I almost returned this gun, but I actually love how easy it is to cock, load and shoot. The trigger pull takes a bit to get used to. Once I get this dialed in it will be great. I'm going to drop a reworked Crosman barrel (or possibly I will spring for a LW barrel)into it. I have ordered brass inserts for the grip screws. I am going to polish the trigger sear and see if I can't get a little better pull. I am tough on my rating, but it is a disappointing pistol out of the box. I have spent a LOT less money and gotten MUCH more gun with other brands.

Wood grips that can be easily altered. One stroke pumping. Simple and easy loading. Adequate accuracy. Decent sights with three adjustments. Can be adjusted and tweaked (if you know what you are doing).

Rear of gun rubs my thumb knuckle requiring a lot of stock removal. There might be a tendancy to kick up on firing (or I still don't know how to pull a trigger). More metal would be nice. Metal sights or provisions for upgrades. Upgrade options!

I don't regret buying this gun.

Weight, Balance and Trigger Pull all Fantastic right out of the box. Sight adjustments were a very pleasant surprise. Being able to adjust the rear blade opening is a saving grace for older eyes. Windage and elevation adjustments all positive. Very sure this pistol is far more accurate than I am.

Too early to tell.

Single shot, top lever pump may seem slow and tedious to most but It's a great tool to teach trigger control and sight alignment.

Great accuracy, good grips and sights.

The trigger is horrible, I adjusted it to the lowest weight and it was over four pounds. I thought about sending it back as the trigger weight is advertised to break much lower. But, I took the gun apart and worked the trigger mechanism and it is much better but still not suitable for ten meter competition. I like the gun but the trigger keeps it from being a great gun.

Mainly see above, This is advertised as a ten meter pistol and could be if the trigger would adjust to the weight advertised.

First ever air pistol --- very satisfied with product quality, performance and value.
