Page 5 - Crosman 1322 Black Reviews

This is a great shooter. It is very easy to modify with a lot of info on the web.

It's kind of hard to pump. I don't know if it will " break in" or if this is as easy as it gets. Because of this I'm not sure where to grip it to really pump hard without bending something.

Overall this is a good airgun for the money and you can't go wrong by buying it.

for the performance you get its quite cheap. its very easy to pump doesnt really get harder per pump. its very durable and made well. the trigger pump is not bad for a 50 dollar pistol. the endless custom work you can do to this pistol

get a higher front post or make the back one able to get low enough to hit POI. they should all come with the steel breech.

i did a real good review but they didnt accept it? i added the steel breech that i purchased here and it showed immediate improvements with it. went from 1/4 groups to 1/8. the FPS increased dont have a chrono, but physical results the deformation oh pellets was easily noticeable. the after markets parts you can get is awesome for this pistol. right here at PA you can get barrels, the breech, custom stock, etc. great little shooter.

This is an excellent air pistol with a proven design and a reasonable price. I have had a 1377 for years and I wanted to buy a 1322. Plenty of parts are available to customize the gun so I wanted to build a carbine. It was a fun project that reminds me of customizing a Ruger 10/22. It's an economical gun to shoot with only pellets and no gas, CO2 or pumps needed. The gun is accurate and made locally (Upstate NY).

Nothing. Plenty of parts are available for customizing. It can be as basic or fancy as you want.

It's a classic and a lot of fun.

The 1322 is a great MSP Pistol. It can be configured for what ever your needs are. I have one that started as a 1322 and is now a 2289 equivalent (plus a couple of 2289g's bought as 2289g's). Very good accuracy even in its stock form, easy to work on.

Include the 1399 stock as standard.

If you get this I highly recommend getting the Crosman Steel Breach kit, the Crosman 1399 stock, and a longer barrel. This combination makes a good carbine for about $110 that is well worth it.

This pistol shoots great, accuracy is better than expected for a pistol at this price, it gives the shooter hours & hours of fun plinking pellets down range!!!

Making the breech more scope acceptable,

You can buy an aftermarket steel breech that allows you to mount a full size pistol scope & there are other aftermarket parts like a detachable stock to turn this pistol into a carbine... If you like to shoot countless hour & sometime lose all track of time jus slinging pellets down range then this 22 cal pistol is for you!!!!!

These are classic air pistols, and for good reason. They shoot great and the quality is very nice.

Then plastic breech is very cheesy when compared to the rest if the pistol.

Get the steel breech kit.

simple to use...comes with sights so you don't have to waste money on a scope... good value for money

front sight is cheaply made ....applied. mine was bent badly....I could bend back some...but was afraid of breaking it

my gun had the front sight bent over so bad....I am returning....gun is fun to shoot...but crosman could not have inspected this gun before packaging....or it never would have went out

How consistent & accurate this gun shoots, also this gun is well made all parts are very solid, even the forearm that's used for pumping is very tight with little to no movement or play. The trigger has a great feel to it,

I would have liked to seen better open sights that were easier to see in all conditions, I personally would have like to have been able to mount scope mounts to the gun other than getting barrel mounts, without order aftermarket parts, like I did ordering the steel breech kit, which I was very happy with after I received the kit & installed it to the gun!!

That if your looking for a pistol that is easy & fun to shoot for hours & hours at a time this multi-pump pistol is for you, I don't have any regrets with this one, also if you looking to mount a scope to this pistol I suggest ordering the steel breech kit made by Crossman, it's a heavy duty well made a accessory that was perfect for what I was looking for!!!

i bought the 1322 and 2240 at the same time ,it does very well and is consistant over the chronograph.i can't make it shoot as well as the 2240 but it does ok from the bags ....I have plans to upgrade to metal reciever in the future to see what that does

sights are not the best but for the price they are ok,the rear sight is plastic and it is easily moved even when tight.

Good semi heavy hitter for small game up to Rabbits size

I'm like a lot of people. I would like even more power, and either a longer pump stroke, or better leverage to enable easier pumping.

Very dependable and pretty accurate pistol, and you gotta love the price too!

The weight and feel of this pistol it's very well balanced.

Nothing

It's a very nice pistol fun for backyard target plinking. Very accurate once sighted in highly recommend.

Wonderful balance and feel--like the 1377(.177 cal) I shot for years. The .22 is much quieter at 8 pumps than the .77 cal at 10 pumps. I've been target shooting at 10 yards and am happy with the groups and figure I can make them even better with practice. I haven't had a chance to shoot at 20-30 yards and am hoping the performance is the same. Not a bad value if you're not worried about the accuracy of the sights.

Open sights are simple/cheap (metal screw into plastic base which tells you don't over-tighten or adjust frequently or you'll strip the plastic). That would be fine if the sights enabled adequate adjustments for accuracy. In my case, I maxed out on the possible elevation and windage adjustments and my groups were still 9" high and 9" to the right of the bulls eye at 10 yards. Sorta takes the fun out of shooting when you have to aim low and to the left of the target in the hope of hitting it.

The add-on options PyramydAir sells to fix the sight problem seem less than perfect to me (the product reviews on the website suggest the fixes may not work) and they wind up equal to the cost of the gun itself. I'm going to try to "file and glue" home-made fixes to see if I can get the sights adjusted. Goofy way to "fix" the problem but I suspect when you don't pay much for a gun there are going to be problems.

Variable pump, you can use 3 to 10 pumps depending on how far you are shooting. Accuracy is amazing once you get used to the setup before and after putting the 1399 shoulder stock on, The sights are good and function well even the peep hole on the rear sight blade works well, if you really must put a scope on either the 1377 or the 1322 then I suggest getting a steel breech as it will give you a better platform for it. Over all looks to me, I think the 1377 and the 1322 are awesome looking pistols, Crosman has a real winner in the 1377 and the 1322. One of the more important factors to me and one of the reasons I bought the 1377 and the 1322 was the fact that they have a 10 1/4 inch barrel, the longer the sight radius the easier it is to shoot and the more accurate it is, when modding an 18 inch barrel is the perfect length for both accuracy and velocity. Buy one and you wont regret it, you'll have so much fun with either the 1377 or the 1322 you wont want to put them down.

Things I would change would be for me to add more of these to my collection.

What made me purchase the 1322 was the fact that I have had a 1377 for years and it has been a solid performer, so when I made the decision to get the 1322 it was rather easy cause I already knew what I was getting into. The 1322 may be a little low on velocity but it makes that up in accuracy and plus there are a lot of mods that you can do to it, this design has been around since the mid to late 70's and for good reason. I've had my 1377 since 2000 and haven't had a single problem with it, I also still have my dads phase 1 he bought back in the mid 80's and it is still going strong. I did do a lot of mods to my 1377 and I plan on doing the same with the 1322 but I don't think I'll go as far as I did with the 1377. These pneumatic pumpers are an excellent choice for anyone whether you're just starting out or are an avid airgunner. I have plans on getting a couple of more just because they are worth their weight in gold. I highly recommend these pistols whether it be the 1377 or the 1322.

This is a nice gun for this price and is a good pistol for modding.

Better sights.

Sights are not the best but good enough for the price. I reccomend and would purchase again.

the pistol was accurate right out of the package with rws hobby pellets which are a little light for the gun but held a good pattern. for the price you cant beat this gun.

use wood instead of all the plastic, at least on the grips.

Back with an update ... What I like? EVERYTHING! I put a 1399 rifle stock on it and the Crosman Center Point 4x32 scope that I took off my Benjamin Titan. I just shot a one hole group at my 23 yard range with RWS Hobby's. I will test it again tomorrow at 30 yards.

I just may buy another one ...

There is a small bit of play in the barrel so I put a small bead of epoxy at the base of the intermounts. The intermounts are now locked to the tube beneath the barrel very securly. Rock solid! One last thing ... Pyramyd still #1.

This pistol has been around for many years and is easy to upgrade. it is very accurate and is a good shooter out to 25 yds. fun pistol for plinking or small game at close range. shoots crosman 14.3 domed pellets very well.

front sight needs to be adjusted bent or heated to line up with barrel and a white dot on it would help.

as a scoped gun with the crosman mounts and stock this is a great gun. I live at 8750ft elev. having to pump 13 times or so to get good velocity. high altitude effects air gun performance. chrony work will help.

I give this a 5 for enjoyment and the fact that I get good practice for pistol shooting. I've shot over 1000 rounds of Gamo 15gr wadcutters and the four types in the Benjamin 22 hunting sampler. ( Gamo far better accuracy than all the benjamins.)

Offer a factory package option that includes the steel breech, a MUCH BETTER rear sight and a fiber optic front sight. Better trigger of course. Public will buy it.

Gun shot horrible groups with Benjamin sampler hunting ammo I will update review after I've shot H&N 13.74 wadcutters and other premium mid weight ammo.

A great addition to my collection of air gun pistols. It is one of my favorites!

None

I get excellent power and accuracy with only four pumps of the lever.

Feels good in the hands, shoot well, you can adjust the power for what you're needs. Overall a good pistol for the money.

Things I did change, I added a steel breach for a new Crosman rear sight and put the shoulder stock on it. I gave it a four star accuracy rating because of the OE rear sight.

Was it worth the upgrade expense? I think so.
