Page 11 - Crosman 2240 Reviews

Pistol is good, Thank you!

I bought this gun from Pyramyd years ago, not sure how many at least 6 or 7 but just never got around to reviewing it. I mean why review something that is sort of a top iconic product. This is one of those things that I doubt you could improve much with out a major change in design. Simply a great classic gun.

Very little. Maybe offer a production model with the steel breech rather than having to order it from Crosman and install it yourself. Still, you can get the breech.

What else should airgunners know? Just that this is a great gun. Not really any down side.

The 2240 is built like a tank and is customizable in the extreme. The one I bought had a warm over the next day with a Marauder trigger group, .177 LW Crosman barrel, Steel receiver, LW rear sight, Globe front sight and an extended probe brass bolt. $59 pistol +$49 LW Crosman .177 Match Barrel + $39 trigger + $12 B2220 Hammer & striker + #39 rear Sight + Parts Bin front sight + #13 brass Bolt /w hard 22 cal bolt o-ring + $54 steel Receiver = 10 pellets at 10 meters ( 10 yards for Americans ) in one pretty small hole. Yupper Happy I Am! Oh and more parts bin parts for next time!!!

See above! Next a HiPac with one extension and some LH target grips from Costa Rica as Crosman will not sell me theirs unless I buy a Custom shop pistol from them. The HiPac lets me shoot CO2 and HPA by removing the front piercing cap and CO2 caplet, then screwing the HiPac in and back when desired.

For the money and satisfaction of "Rolling My Own" pistol I have a very fine shooter that can hold its own until the $1K pistols arrive and still make them work.

This is one awesome air pistol! It feels like an extension of my arm when I shoot it....I also have a mint condition Crosman model 150 and i think that this is definitely the modern version of the 150...but I think the 2240 has a better rifled barrel...

Nothing, I think this gun is the perfect inexpensive .22cal pistol and I hope Crosman doesn't discontinue it anytime soon...I'd like to buy at least one more

Order a wide range of pellets from 14 grain up to 20-something grain heavy weights and you'll be constantly entertained comparing the damage the different pellets to your targets :)

I love the very solid feel of this pistol. It just feels like a quality product. I also like all of the ways you can customize this gun.

Steel breech!

Make sure you upgrade to the steel breech! Also, make sure to buy the ten for ten test!It's worth it.

the heft is perfect, it feels real good with the inexpensive grips, can't imagine the high dollar grips helping much as a plinker or small game, now target shooting is another story. the trigger is very good, the sights are ample, could be better

the rear sight leaves much to desire and the front also. however this is why the pistol only cost $59.00

the trigger on mine is almost perfect, would not try to improve on it, no play and very smooth. remember this is a $59.00 pellet pistol and it can be modified to no end, but out of the box and for $59.00 it can not be beat for a co2 weapon at 22 cal.

Good sights, good trigger easy to hit with

Hi-Viz sights would be a nice add-on

There's a number of reasons that this gun is a standard for decades. You will be happy you bought it!

I like how the 2240 feels in my hand. I like how many options are available to upgrade the 2240. I like how I can load every type of .22cal pellets into the gun.

I would prefer the 2240 to have a metal breach and metal sights. I don't mind paying $100 for an all metal 2240.

Be prepared to love this gun!

The extra $ I put in to get the steel breech and the $10 for 10 shots. No leaks, performs well.

If you have the money to get the steel breech upgrade, make sure you also have enough to upgrade the rear sights also!

This one is special, you can customize this airgun to your liking.

Can't find anything i like about it .

Power bolt and the person in charge of quality control

Quality control for this pistol is piss poor . When I received my 2240 the front sight was all messed up and it leaks co2 so bad you only get about 20 shots . What a peace of crap .

Simple to operate, very well balanced, fits my hand well I am right handed(grip is ambidexterous).at 10 meters it is easy to make a 5 shot group that you can cover with a dime with stock sights, out of the box...

Nothing, an excellent target, plinking, low operation, pistola!!!

You need to have plenty of pellets, and CO2 Cartridges on hand, it is hard to lay this pistol down....SUMMARY: CROSSMAN, DELIVERS A LOT OF BANG FOR A BUCK!!!!

its a Crossman and everything I expected in an air pistol, easy to load, accurate enough to drive tacks at 10 meters or shoot Carpenter Bees.

Nothing

Buy an extra box of CO2 Cartridges and a couple of boxes of Pellets, you will use them.

Accurate but lacked power through crono it was 383 with a 13.5 gr very disappointed as it is advertised 440 fps one spend 22 shell cut to 3/8 in in hammer spring and one spent 209 primer and now i am at 439 fps so at advertised fps cheep fix

lighter trigger pull

i replaces an aging mod e Sheridan with this and not disappointed with the 2040

Accurate and fun to shoot. For the price, this thing is really a serious pistol to consider.

Noise is a little to loud.

Loud.

Nice grip angle. Accuracy is good for the money.

Replace the front sight with one that is the correct height. This pistol shoots high right out of the box. No amount of adjustment will correct.

This is my baby the most pistol does i have Ligth trigger and high power. I am recomended.AAA

May be the Brownig but for my colection!! Gooddd

Wao! Not does i live may be....

I purchased two of these and installed steel breeches. Most of the time I prefer a pump up handgun for practice, but the co2 2240 is a must when we shoot our 40 round matches. The piece shoots very accurately off hand at 25 yards. Being a leftie, I appreciate the ambidextrous grips. All is great with this little handgun.

I already changed it. Seems to me that it's a waste of time to sell these beauties with plastic breeches. I put the steel ones on both of mine adding a lot of class and quality.

Pellet shooting is the way to go now days, what with .22 rim fire being so scarce and expensive.

I bought this because I wanted a .22 pistol to plink with, improve my ability to shoot pistols, and because I had several tins of pellets that didn't shoot well out of my rifles and that needed to be shot up. This gun does not seem to be pellet picky, although I never shoot it at paper targets so little variations in accuracy are hard to notice. I can hit a 12 gauge shotgun shell from a rest consistently at 10 yards. I can hit a 2 liter bottle consistently from standing position at 25 yards. I can hit a coke can consistently while standing at 15 yards, and about a third of the time at 25 yards. I get 42 or 43 shots per powerlet before accuracy is affected, which I think is good. I don't mind the cheap plastic breech and sights, they work well and it keeps the cost down. Shooting this pistol has removed my flinch and gives me a cheap way to work on trigger pull. This gun is lightweight and difficult to keep steady while squeezing the trigger. It has made me a better shooter with pistols

I would like it if the pistol had enough power to shoot through a plastic coke bottle instead of bouncing off. This is mostly a safety concern. I won't shoot at a coke bottle up close. And always wear eye protection.

This pistol will shoot through at least one side of milk jugs and both sides of soda cans. I personally wouldn't shoot anything living with it, but that's what my rifles are for. This gun is great for the purposes I use it for. I know there are a lot of upgrades for the gun, but I personally can't justify doing them. I don't care about how a gun looks. And if I wanted more power I would pick up one of my rifles.

Everything, design, power, price, quality, accuracy

Nothing, the price is for perfect for what you get

Just buy it and try it...

Accurate, light weight, fairly powerful for about 40 to 50 shots and easy to operate.

I wish the 2240 was available as a PCP and got about 750 FPS with a 14.3 gr pellet.

Buy alot of CO2s and pellets because this is a very fun airgun to shoot. a great value for the money. I think the stock would be a great addition, I may need to get one!!
