This baby got some smack. DEADLY at thirty yards. no more bunny!

I put a better recoil spring in and made a hair trigger on it. awesome results.

Jumps hard due to power, hard to control offhand shooting.

Nice gun, very accurate, well balanced, not that heavy or hard to cock.

Make one with more power, I'm an average guy and could easily cock one that had a stronger spring yet. Make the dovetail on top to accept 4" mounts.

I put a one piece 4" mount on mine with very slight modifications to the mount, you can't see where its been modified. Very easy with a dremel or you could hand file it with a little patience.

The looks, the power.

Make it like the hatsan and air stripper compatible. Also make with a gas piston. The extension would be nice if it was also an air stripper, not some cheap plastic thing. Also make the extension not slip off so easily. The safety is easy to access BUT the edges are sharp and can really get annoying scraping your finger as you put your finger on the trigger

Cool gun, powerful handgun. Good to have in the collection. Worth the money in my opinion. Wrap the safety with tape or take apart and smooth the edges with a file or wire wheel. Other than that, it's a good piece to have in your rifle filled collection. Looks badass and fun switching it up from the rifles every once in awhile. I don't hunt but I'm sure it would take out a squirrel or similar sized animal.

8 fpe in 22 cal ... CPHP's range from 497 - 503 over 10 shots my pcp is not that tight on extreme spread

nothing comes to mind

I find it to be a fun plinker with enough FPE for short range pest control. out to 35 yards it is still putting out 6 FPE I do not regret buying one (mine came from the used market)

powerful , accurate ,build quality seems like it will hold up

not big on cocking assist , although it is needed. i'm a toolmaker so i will make something better at work.

this gun is BIG , HEAVY , and POWERFUL (kinda like my wife) all kidding aside, i'd say you cant beat it for the money. this is a "full grown man's" pistol. i would not recommend it for youngsters.

the power. the sights, the build quality.

would like to see it a little lighter.

I had to replace my first gun, after 40 shots or so it got jammed internally, a safety, or trigger malfunction. I searched for others with similar problems, and came up empty. So I chalked it up to a "fluke thing" My replacement gun has worked flawlessly. Cocking this gun takes a fair amount of strength. And you need this same strength to hold this heavyweight steady. This gun will shoot as accurately as you can aim it. I'm not experienced enough to make any complaints about the trigger. It works fine for me. I put 3 out of 4 shots on a 4 inch target at approx 70ft. with open sights. I'm not a very good shot, so this impressed the hell out of me.

GREAT LOOKING GUN I FOUND IT EASIER TO COCK BY BRACING IT ACROSS MY THIGH ONCE OPEN COCKING IS NOT TO BAD I SHOOT FROM MY WHEELCHAIR ACCURCY IS GOOD BUT I ONLY SHOOT 3 SHOT GROUPS I'LL HAVE TO BUILD UP TO SHOOT MORE PELLETS AT A TIME 15 IS ALL I CAN MANAGE NOW. I HAVE PICS I'LL TRY TO ATTACH.

GRIP IS A BIT SMALL FOR MY HAND BUT LIVEABLE. SHOULD COME WITH A SCHEMATIC OF GUN. I TOOK THE GRIPS OFF TO ADJUST TRIGGER TRAVEL NO PROBLEM. BUT CAN'T FIND SCREW THAT THE BLOGS TALK ABOUT TO ADJUST PULL WEIGHT.

BE AWARE OF BACKSTOP I SHOT 2 CLEANING PELS AT 10' AND THEY WENT THRU HEAVY CARDBOARD. I HAVE PIC BUT CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO ATTACH THEM TO HERE.

A very solid gun that feels good to hold. Accurate out of the box shooting Crosman Premier 10.5 grain round nose with open sights. The stock fiber optic sights are very easy to see.

I wish it had a Weaver mount as opposed to the 11mm dovetail. Very little recoil, but one of the louder pellet guns I own.

I use this as a back yard plinker. My 7 year old son and I really enjoy shooting together, and he does well with this gun despite having trouble disengaging the safety. Get a nice sand bag rest, a tin or two of pellets, and have fun. This is a good quality, well made gun that will last. I also think it's a good value for the money.

most of the reviews said accuracy was good and my experience confirms that. I used Crossman premier and RWS powerpoint both would land in the same place and the group @ 30 feet was about 1/2". I was skeptical that a springer pistol,especially one that was potent, could be shot well one handed.This one proved me wrong.

The front sight is too tall and I had to move the rear sight up a lot to compensate and have little headroom left. I don't know if I would be able to use a heavy pellet at any greater distance. The front sight assembly is removeable and I plan to make a lower front sight.

The recoil dampening system is effective and contributes to the ability to shoot well.This gun is BIG and heavy lots of iron but balances well.

The grips are prefect for me, smart grip design. Power of the .22 cal is 9ft/lbs (14.82 gr) average projection of pellets:528 fps (indoors) recoil reduction system works well, now improved, will not separate the grip from the upper assembly due to redundant internal safety feature. Auto safety. sights are easy on older light bulbs like mine (lol)

there's nothing bad to say about this gun, nor any need to change this design/ build .....

this is a great deal for $150, look what you get: power, beauty, value, craftsmanship of Hatsan and the backing of Umarex !

I not only like but love how accurate this beast was straight outta the box. I still have not needed to make even a one quarter turn of the sight adj. screws, so A+ Browning

I would make the gun from a alloy or aluminum so it would be much lighter

I love the accuracy but its not way too heavy but pretty hefty is a better term.

Accurate and powerful

Cocking is a little rough but expected

Heavy but expected for such power

This a nice air pistol in .22cal, with cock assist it really help to cock the gun. The Browning is an accurate air gun. After the breaking period the gun become More smoth and easy to cok.I like it I'm planning to add a red dot.

Nothing

The browning is a little bit heavy .

Good weight. Steady

Add a trigger adjusment feature.

According to the schematic for this pistol, it shows a trigger adjustment screw. There is none.

Gun has a solid feel, good accuracy, and trigger pull

rear sight adjustment is garbage, had to use very small washers to adjust sights after factory adjustment stripped after first week.

Gun is very heavy and large but great power for pistol.

EVERYTHING,BUT IT IS HEAVY

FIND A WAY TO ATTACH A SHOULDER STOCK--IT WOULD MAKE A FINE COMPACT CARBINE

A GAS PISTON POWER PLANT WOULD CANCEL NEED FOR ANTI RECOIL FEATURE AND ENABLE A SHOULDER STOCK DESIGN.

This gun really breaks in nicely, out the box the cocking was kinda tough and the trigger was really rough!! After about 300 rds the trigger smoothed out a great deal and cocking got alot easier!! The anti recoil system works good but this gun still has a decent amount of recoil, due to weight i would suggest shooting this from a gun rest!! Overall between power, accuracey and how it broke in i've really grown to love this gun!! Thx Pyramin Air

From a hunters perspective including a detachable stock might have been a real good look, otherwise i'm content.

This gun has a serious break in period, mine took about 300rds before it loosend up, cocking became easier and trigger became much smoother!!!

Everything! I was a little hesitant to buy this beast due to length and weight but, that soon faded when I fired it. Powerful and accurate! I think I got lucky cause she was a dead straight shot out of the box. A little effort to cock but no big deal. Got the .22 cal and darn near blew a beer can in half. Think it has plenty of power for close range small game hunting. Can't stop shooting it. If you're thinking of buying it, do it! You won't be disappointed.

Nothing...

Everthing a bit quiter would be nice but not bad neighbors may wonder what your up too lol

Nothing! the sights are clear consicise I was nailing the little tiny bathroom cups from 70 ft just getting it sighted in.

BUY IT FOR THE FUN THE VALUE IT IS GREAT. I would Highly RECOMMEND ALSO GETTONG THE PELLET PEN. That is the cats Meow!

I bought the .177 and I must say,It has really impressed! Very Powerfull and accurate! I did not try the open sights so I cannot comment on them,But I installed a red dot,Zeroed it in @ 25yds with a bench rest.Once dialed in,was getting quarter size groups per 10 rounds.Next, we set up some soda cans @ 28 yds(Mtn Dew shaken well) makes a GREAT show when hit! Had no problem hitting them.Finally,We hung a beer bottle on a tree branch @ about 30 yds.My Nephew and I made a bet to see who could knock it down 1st,In a standing position,NO rest.We both missed 1st try,2nd Try I Nailed it! we hung another and he hit it on his 3rd try! Simply amazing!

Nothing

Im not a fan of fiber optic sights,So I went right to a red dot.I would recommend a red dot or a pistol scope on this.As always,PA is TOPS! the best online merchant I have dealt with! and shipping is FAST and FREE (if your total is 150.00 or more) Buy this! you will not be disappointed!
