Page 23 - Crosman 2240 Reviews

i read some reviews and i agreed to them that this is a really accurate and powerfull.

i dont like the plastic grip.

its a good value for your money, in all the fun that you can have with this 2240 pistol. you wont be dissapointed. shoot safe and have fun!

like the whole gun just like the old rugers

Nothing

I sited it in with the 14.95 red dot sight and was very happy with the out come nice groups

I like this pistol because of its modular design and modifications, increased power with .22 caliber pellets.

I found the rear peep sight not to my liking. Sight adjustment is a slot in the sheet metal sight and held in place with a tiny screw. I purchased the steel receiver kit and scope mounting rings (also from Pyramid) so I could mount a red dot scope I have. The plastic grips have som movement which over time may work the screws loose, but I am already working on mods for replacing these.

If you planning to make mods such as longer barrel, I suggest trying to find the model 2250B. It may be hard to find but for just a few more $$ you would already have the longer barrel.

i really like the 2240 it is my first co2 very nice shooting gun

barrel to 14" and 1399 stock , red dot sight and make it in .177cal.

i like it better as a .177 cal. than .22 cal. i change my to to .177 cal.

Great gun for target shooting and plinking. Powerfull.

and I did change was the breech to a steel one and wood grips. 100% better!

Try shooting lead balls through these. I didn't have any roll out because they fit tight. I think thats the best ammo for these and very easy to load. I found them just as accurate as pellets.

This is a very well-built and accurate pistol. Easy to work on if you want to customize it too. Take a look at the old Crosman CO2 pistols from years ago and you'll see they still build'em like they used to (sort of).

I guess If I were to have anything changed, the plastic receiver should be changed to metal. Might as well make the sights from metal too.

Sure, it could benefit from some TLC, but for about the same kind of money as a chinzy BB repeater you can have a real air pistol. One with a heritage that goes way back.

good on co2 good punch and verrrry good accuracy for me it is one of the cheapest gun i one but it is on top for best gun really good pistol

nothing good work

i it a must have for fun,accuracy,and it is cheap !!!!!!!!

Excellent value for the money, shoots great, great styling. Can be easily upgraded with parts from Crosman, longer barrels, steel breech, many aftermarket custom accessories available. Very accurate and hard hitting, I chronied 2 samples and they were slightly below 450fps with 14.3gr HP pellets, would have been right on the rated 460+ fps with lighter pellets.

The plastic breech; not a big issue, this can be upgraded in the future with a steel, stainless, brass or aluminum one.

This is the ultimate platform for upgradeability. Affordable, easily upgreadable, accurate, hard hitting

the power first and it feels great in your hand well balanced gun would have liked a red dot sight. over all a great buy.

Pound for pound and dollar for dollar this gun is a wolverine. Very little plastic in it . With interchangeable parts through Crosman. Such as the breech and Wooden handles can be purchshed. Other accessories are also available.

A .20 and .25 caliber would be nice.

The rear sight sits a little cocked off to the left on mine. But does not diminish the accuracy of the gun..

A lot of metal parts but not enough.

Plastic breech...gun arrived with the bolt pointing to the left and the barrel pointing to the right...no way it can shoot straight.

Since the plastic breech is being used, it is CRITICAL that the gun is NEVER dropped (either by Pyramid nor in shipping) and that it is overly secured and padded, otherwise it will be nothing more than what I received...JUNK.
Plus, I ordered .22 pellets for it and received .177 pellets...Give me a break! I guess that since you sent a broken gun that it would not need the right pellets??

DISAPPOINTED MAJORLY.

Inexpensive, easy to use, and accurate!

Add a grooved steel receiver for scope mounting and/or fiber optic sights.

This pistol is a real value at the price. Quite a few improvements could be made, but that would mean a higher price and it is still very functional without modification. The trigger pull was much better than I expected and even with the cold weather (it was only 45F when I tested it) it still had decent power and accuracy.

First , I want to say I'm judging my 2240 against my Mark 1 that I bought around 1980,and I have to say the power in the 2240 is much more than the original Mark 1, but as far as accuracy the Mark 1 smokes the 2240 so far,the sites are way off out of the box, can;t seem to zero in with them

sites,grips,plastic parts

Good feel and weight. has good power. Many upgrades available if desired. 40 to 50 shots per CO2 cartridge. Fun to shoot and easy to load.

I would like to see a red or green blade on the front sight

If you load and shoot rapidly the co2 cools the gun and you will get fewer shots per cartridge. Space the shots out and let the gun warm up and you will gain 10 to 20 shots.

GOOD SOLID FEEL, SEEMS TO HAVE GOOD POWER

WOOD GRIPS, METAL BREECH INSTEAD OF PLASTIC.

FOR THE MONEY IT SEEMS TO BE WORTH IT. IT WAS A GIFT FOR MY SON HE LOVES IT.

First off: I like the ease & convenience of the co2 carts! I have and have had several Crosman 1377 'pumpers'. These are all well & good for a broad range of shooting; from indoor (low power plinking) to full max pumps for hunting small game. However, I prefer the 2240 for it's compactness, it's ease of operation and it's accuracy.

The rear sight - I would change the rear sight to a more traditional 'target type' sight with R/L & U/D 1/4 MOA adjustments - AND, I would offer an 'UPGRADE KIT' to tune the trigger & sear. I would also offer a leather holster for the hunters -

Out of the blister pack this thing shoots HARD & STRAIGHT! I have used Daisy Flat nosed pellets, Crosman Pointer Premiers & JSB Predators in my 2240 - I have the best performance AND penetration with the JSB Predators! And that is what I have tuned the AG to accomodate - Additionally, this AG has unlimited modding potentials - Thank you Pyramid Air - for affording me an opportunity to share my opinion.

Very well balanced gun. Smooth loading. Smooth trigger. Definately made for target shooting.

Seems loud with a new Powerlet.

All around I am very pleased with gun. Straight down the barrel feel shooting at targets. Loads like a dream. The CO2 seems to run out quick but it does shoot a heavier pellet. I'm going to try a lighter pellet next to see what happens. Loads of after market items you can add also. Nothing fancey about this gun but the balance and feel is perfect as a targe pistol.

Powerful CO2 @ .22 Cal. Feels well balanced in either hand. .22 pellets easy to load.

TOO much plastic, metal breech would improve the look & the ability to stand the test of time.

LOTS of upgrades avaliable for this & the 1377. You can customize thie pistol into something one of a kind. Gotta love those BIG holes the .22 pellets make too!

The size and weight is similar to my Ruger bull barrel 22 target pistol. The larger 22 pellets are easy to load. It is a great plinker.

Crosman Quality control is poor. It took one month to get the problems of assembly ironed out (almost). Barrel sight alignment has 1 to 2 degree twist error (2 pistols received). First pistol had the rear sight also twisted 5 degrees for a total of 7 degree miss-alignment; and was returned to Crosman. Second pistol is usable but rear sight notch depth should be reduced to minimize angulation error visualized.

Noise is comparable to 22 inch barreled 22 rifle firing BB or CB caps. This "pop" makes it a bit rough for backyard shooting in the city. So far no good citizens are complaining about perception of a siege! The Crosman 1377 considerably quieter.

everything this pistol does what they claim and more

nothing

buy pleanty of co2 and pellets if you purchase this gun you will need it . you will spend hours shooting
