Page 19 - Crosman 2240 Reviews

This gun can be modified to your liking. It is easy to handle and has good power. The price is right.

Less plastic and better rear sight. Would be nice to have info on modifications. I would like to add stock and longer barrel. Any info out there?

Good starter pistol. Buy it for the price and modification possibilities.

This is a lot of gun for the money - well made and very accurate. I use mine at 10 yards in my basement and this gun can hit the bullseye almost every time (nobody is perfect!). Mine shoots regular old Crosman hollow points just fine.

Not much...maybe make the grips fit a little bit better as they do tend to have a bit of movement in them.

In addition to a paper puncher, this would make a great close range gun for those pesky yard vermin like rats an starlings. Also, the aftermarket for these guns is unbelievable...you can literally customize this gun to your hearts content. Oh yeah, one more thing, if you intend to mount a scope on your 2240 make sure you pick up the intermounts (part#CR-459MTC) as there is no other way of mounting a scope on this gun. They are cheap and well worth it.

accurate WOW I put s shoulder stock on it and at 30 meters i can cover a dime with it.

Make it not so loud. I was wanting something i could shoot without ear protectors.

I could not see through the peep sight Old eyes so i ground off the front and rear sights and made a sight rail for my red dot. Good thing i have a brother with machine shop.

This gun just feels good in your hand . . . in either hand. It feels and looks like a real firearm. Shooting .22, it of course has more power at the target than .177 at the same FPS. The gun's standard site was very accurate right out of the box.

I just got this and have shot it about 50 times. For the money, i can find nothing I would change.

The finish is flawless, the sights are dead on..

Rear sight

It took 2 whole days for it to get my mail box :) PA is the greatest.. 454 ave fps !!!! sights are dead on... you need to get this... I am a happy camper and you will be too.

just about everything except rear sight, it works, but you have to have patience with it, it stays locked in once set.

click adjustable rear sight

this is the gold standard in co2 airgun pistols, more after market parts than you have money for. stock pistol is just fine, hits hard, is accurate, and everyone should own one. there's a reason for all the positive reviews. parts are inexpensive.

Best and most accurate shooter for the money. Totally customizeable. Lots of aftermarket and easy to work on. Great just as-is but astounding with a few tweeks. Not real Quiet, Has an authorative bark to it. These can become addictive and you are always searching for the next change you wan't to make.

Nothing for the price. Things I did change, Replaced plastic breech with Steel breech and LPA sight.

Very accurate right out of the box. Comfortable grips and it balances well and holds steady for offhand shooting. Stock the trigger is fine but a simple trigger polish job and squeezing the spring a bit makes the trigger very nice. Lots of support and how to online. Every shooter should have one of these And a 1322 which is the multi pump version. I get about 60 shots per CO2 and it is cold out. Power seems to stay good till the last 2-3 shots.

i see this gun has a 5 star average with well over 100 reviews and there's a reason--what a good pistol! had a few co2 guns and they all lose velocity after very few shots. shooting this one over the chronograph shows consistent velocity through 20 shots and counting.

trigger is kinda gritty and creepy, sights are funky. but hey 60 bucks? i can adapt.

mine likes rws hyper velocity 11 gr. green in 100 rd. cup--all shots touch at 30 feet. most consistent velocity is with rws superpoint 14.5 gr. and accuracy and energy (6.34 f.p. by my math) are good. crosman pointed in 175 rd. tin are not bad for the price.

Strong Pistol. Great value

I would make targeting more accurate. Usually factory adjustment needs small effort to shoot accurately. This one needs some work, however after adjustment, it is great.

Do not thing that single pellet shooters are less fun or weak pistols. They are very strong even though this gun is not a blowback pistol, it has a certain kick to it that shows how powerful it is.

I like co2 and bolt loading this gun shot great

Due to the low temperatures here in Wyoming it will be a little while before co2 will work to its potential, so I haven't attempted to shoot the gun yet. I appears to be as indicated in the other positive reviews, and at this point I'm pleased with the pistol considering the price point.

I wasn't very happy with the grips, as they are slightly small for my hand. They are also made of plastic which is not always bad in itself, but they need trimming and fitting where they join together. Serviceable, but not the best. No real need for custom grips, just not as nice as I would like.

As always, Pyramid Air is definitely the place to go for good service and prices. The plastic in other areas of the pistol are of no concern to me as I plan to modify the pistol with custom parts; in the mean time it will serve as a good plinker.

Good feel in the hand. Accuracy is fine for bifocaled shooter. Very quiet. I fitted with a red dot laser ............ don't do that if your hand is shakey!

Would like to see this pistol with the cosman magazine. We need a good, low cost, co2 pellet repeater.

Everything

Nothing

If ya don't have one your missin out on the best deal ever in a .22 cal pellet/target pistol get about 50 plus powerful shots with a powerlet and absolutely love daisy wadcutters at 2 bucks a tin, sends cans flying and accurate up to 25 yrds at this price it can not be beat always use pellgun oil its also a good way to detect a misformed powerlet which can ruin a gun I was rubbing it in once with pg oil on my finger and a deformed powerlet was very sharp otherwise it would have ruined the seals ,think this happened with a gun I had which spewed out the gas and continued with a ruined seal but no more .

This has to be one of the finest air pistols made, especially for the price. It's relatively easy to modify to increase shooting enjoyment, yet, out of the box it's quite a shooter.

An additional screw in the grips would be nice.

nice weight and feel in the hand. Modular designs lends itself to modification. .22 caliber knockdown power.

This thing shoots dead on straight out of the box and hits pretty hard, that said I'm probably going to modify mine anyways for varmint hunting.

If yours has a leaky valve like mine, don't send it back just take it apart and clean the valve seals and seats, takes about 15 minutes and saves you from waiting for crosman to fix it.

Sleek Ruger Mk II based design. Ergonomic grip, clean iron sights, and bolt action make it astonishingly accurate. Trigger pull is clean and even. Recoil is minimal due to aforementioned bolt action.

Maybe a feeding system or clip/tube to make it feel like using a musket. CO2 change is hard to get used to.

Could VERY easily be mistaken for an actual firearm. Get used to spending more time loading a shot than taking it.

Awesome accuracy and ergonomics for such an affordable pistol.

Nothing. I like that the 2240 platform allows for so many modifications for accuracy, power and bling. If you tinker, this is the air pistol for you!!

This pistol stock is quite accurate and comfortable in the hand. That said, if you like to fiddle with stuff, this is the finest pistol for aftermarket modifications.

Simple modular design that can be customized to several formsl. Great accuracy for an inexpensive gun.

Better sights and plastic breech.

This can easily be converted to smaller caliber and choice of barrels.

Great little gun

modify trigger for smooth release

buy 2. Only mess with one of them

This is a great little pistol. Nicely balanced plenty of power for a short barrelled gun and quite accurate. Groups averaged about 1/2 inch at ten meters shooting from the bench. The only problem I had is that the gun shot 3 inches high, iI modified the front sight to make it shoot lower because the rear sight was as low as it would go. This may not be true of all pistols, probably just this individual one as my other Crosman pistols are right on the money.

It's pretty well designed the way it is, leave it alone.

These guns are easily modified if you are into such stuff, trigger work is fairly simple as is valve modification. BUT don't attempt these mods if you are not sure of what you are doing. There is plenty of information available on lne for these mods. Buy one you won't be sorry for the price.
