Page 24 - Crosman 2240 Reviews

Powerful and Accurate. Great for small game at close range. Actually I had Crosman build mine with the 10 inch barrel and it does have power! I kind of wish I had just got the basic 2240 version for size and weight balance.

I wish someone would come out with a .22 CO2 multi-shot air pistol. Daisy had one but it was discontinued.

This is a great pistol. Bottom line: Buy it!

Very accurate, nice clean holes with most wad cutter pellets. Super crisp trigger for any pistol. For this price though a complete steal. Nice wieght and balance. Sights are dead on once adjusted. The quality far exceeds the price.

Include scope mounts or make it an option.

The plastic breech to me isn't an issue. Believe me when I say I like metal parts. In this case however the entire pistol is metal except for the breech and grips. I do not believe either of these plastic parts would fail due to normal use. The windage adjustment is a bit tricky but holds fast and has stayed accurate. The pistol is pretty loud so be aware of where your shooting. This pistol is by far worth what it costs.

Hard hitter, fun gun. This is one great pistol. I would imagine this is the best air pistol made for the money. Hard to put this gun down. It's noisy, but I live out in the country, so no bother to me. I get lots of high power shots out of each cartridge, too. This is the gun to have and start people out with. Can't be beat for value, hard hitting, and getting the job done.

Make it with a steel breech to start with, or at least an option when buying. A great trigger would be helpful, but, you can do most of that yourself, especially by changing out the trigger spring. I have mine very light, indeed.

Get plenty of CO2, and pellets. You are gonna need them. Try as many different pellets you can. I find mine shoots them all very good. It does have some favorites, tho. I'd have to look in my notebook and look at target notes to find the best ones for my guns. I have found one thing, most of the time RWS pellets are superaccurate, and the Diabolo type made by any of the MFG"S are fine and accurate.

Every little detail. This gun is dead on accurate. It takes several types of pellets which is great. I buy tons of Beeman , RWS , and Crosman pellets. I like that no matter what ,wadcutters, H-Points, Predators, Super points and the list goes on , that this pistol fires them well. I'm sick of pellet pistols that can't / won't take various pellets like this gem does. It gives you the advantage of buying MANY types of pellets, thus helping you choose what works best for your likes and dislikes. My Father had me shooting his .22 cal Crosman pistol with him when I was a teen 30 plus years ago. The gun was high quality then , and still is. I wish I knew where his was because I'm sure it's a collectors item even though I wouln't sell it because he is no longer with us.

Not one single thing. Why pay twice as much for one of the other brands that cost twice as much? I wish Crosman would produce 2-3 more styles of .22 cal pistols. .177 are a dime a dozen . 22 are far more fun to shoot.

Put one drop of oil on the tip of every 2nd CO2 cartridge as well as one on the exhaust port and your gun will stay in great condition for years. Also use a Beeman brand silicone cloth to wipe your pistol down with after each use.

Excellent base platform for customizations, lightweight, packs a nice little punch.

Tighter barrel to breech fit.

Most complaints people have about this base model is the plastic breech and grips. Guess what? You can order it from Crosman with the extras added for a price. This particular model is just that - the BASE model. The beauty is that it leaves just about everything open to your imagination and modification needs. If you're already thinking of getting a longer barrel (good idea if you want more power and accuracy), look into getting the 2250 model instead. It's basically the same platform but with a longer barrel, giving it more power and better accuracy. Grips are interchangable as well with the 2240 so you can turn it into a pistol if that's what you're after. I for one don't mind the plastic breech - it does what it's supposed to do. I love using open sights on pistols. If I wanted a steel breech, there's quite a few aftermarket ones available out there, as well as the option to order one from Crosman. She shoots quite well out of box, but barrel to breech fit could be tighter, for better accuracy. I left this one as is and didn't do any major modifications to it. With the short barrel you won't want to add extra power with customized valves, ports, etc; there'd be lots of Co2 waste and it would snow every time you took a shot. The one thing you do want to look in to is how to properly manage the current Co2 output in a more efficient manner so there's less waste and there's quite a few easy ways to do this. All in all, this is an accurate, fun and affordable pistol whether or not you're going to make modifications to it. Spend a little time researching and applying better Co2 management applications and you've got yourself a sweet little plinker capable of taking out paper and small pests within a short range.

I have owned one of these great pistols for 15 years and I have never had a bit of problems with it. It's solid accurate and just all around good pistol. I have never went hunting for it, but I have literally shattered the so calle iron targets that came with my crosman pellet trap. It burns through quarter inch plywood backing my targets like it was another piece of paper.

THe front sight can be shifted quite easily, and the platic parts on my gun has all been replaced with parts I have either made or ordered from crosman.

put a drop of pellgun oil on the end of the CO2 cartrige about every 5th one. It will last forever if you do that.

Good hefty feel, and very well suited design as a target pistol. Drives RWS hyper velocity pellets into plywood at 10m. Nice loud report makes the pistol feel like an authentic .22 match pistol. Very accurate, can easily be counted on to hit what I'm aiming at around 15m. Great fun to shoot, and couldn't be happier with my purchase, especially considering the price and receiving it next day from Pyramid.

The plastic grips are rather flimsy, grip design is ok but the mounting is weak. Plastic front sight is also not the best, but not a major issue considering the price. Could use a spring to return the bolt, and some sort of magazine would always be a plus...

Pretty loud piece. Went plinking with it in my yard and it drew some attention due to the noise. CO2 will leak after prolonged storage, at least with mine.

Excellent pistol.Alot of power.With a Skenco . 22 Hyper-velocity it will go through three metal coffee lids .lined up.And an RWS Extra point .22 pellet is very good velocity at 15-20 feet.Great POWER!!Very good pistol by Crosman.

nothing

Very loud .Almost like my deringer shooting .22 shorts. Use an insulated shed or other indoor shooting area in close neighborhoods.Neighbors might complain.

Powerful, Accurate, Fun, Loud, CO2 Lasts 40-60 shots, Metal.

Plastic Grips should be wood or metal. There should be a dot on the front site (or the fiber optic)

You can buy the 459MTC to mount a scope/site/red dot site.

Excellent base pistol for custom modifications. This was my second purchase and will be upgrading to a .25 cal pistol.

First thing to go is that plastic breech. It just does not hold up for consistent shot placement!

Once you get the modification bug, you may get hooked...

price, easy to sight in, bolt feels like good craftsmenship...

nicer grips, maybe wood and white dots on sights would be nice, more than that would warrant a jump in price and defeat the purpose of this bargain.

just got the gun and put almost 90 gamo match pellets through it on 2 co cartridges with good accuracy at an 25' indoor range, not as loud as a .22 rimfire but definately makes its presence known. Great bargain for the price. Looking forward to seeing performance as it breaks in more. Hope this review helps anyone having a tough time deciding on this bad ass deal.

Powerful and modular. It's very powerful and accurate out of the box, but if you wish it to be more you can easily order parts and modify it. If you can't hit targets right out of the box with this gun, then adjust your sights or find a new hobby.

There is nothing wrong with this gun for people that practice. The single shot brings lots of power and time for you to think about your next shot. Semi would ruin the abilities of the shooter.

It is extremely powerful and very adaptable. When it comes to accuracy, this gun is not the weaker link, you are...

great little gun very accurate right out of box

dont like plastic breech

as said by other people this gun is loud by airgun standards

First of all this gun is very powerful, and accurate. The trigger is not bad at all, and becomes even better with a trigger shoe from crosman. It is well built and well worth the money. check out the custom grips from crosman.

Nothing

This is a real bargain, A must have.

Great Pistol! I use it at night for killing rats, during the day for ground squirrels. Does the job very well. Very powerful and accurate. Lasts a good 25-30 shots on a co2 cartridge before loosing power. Great pistol!

Doesn't have a fiberoptic thingy on the front for the sites, hard to see at night.

Fun to shoot, great pistol!

Everything. This gun is a steal at this price... I agree with the other review, I would pay gladly double for this gun after shooting it.. Nice knockdown power for a pellet gun.

Nothing

Beginner or Pro, Buy this Gun at this price, You wont be disappointed

Cant say much that has not been said in other reveiws. Would be a GREAT gun at twice the price!! ( i have 4) Aftermarket parts/hopup is PLENTIFULL!! Good power, EXELENT accuracy!! Sooper fun gun!!!

For this price, NOTHING!!! A FANTASTIC VALUE!!

This gun is loud! W/ 14.5" barrel &Crossman muzzlebreak it becomes pretty hush hush!! You can order all kinds of parts from Crossman & others!! 14.5 barrel inc.velocity to an honest 500 F.P.S.!! As it comes it is a SUPER FUN gun w/realistic feel& sound! Orderd mine from Pyramidair on mon.,,,tues.It was here!! (along w/another gun& 4 tins of pellets) Pyramidairrocks!!!!!

Accurate out of the box. Powerful enough to take down small pests. Very durable, and well made. Easy to reload.

Very loud.

Dont fire this indoors because it is very loud, unless you have soundproofing. About as loud as a .22 rimfire. Outdoors, this pistol has few equals at any price.

Ready to go right out of the box. Just point and shoot.

Plastic breech is like a plastic cherry on your favorite cupcake, Cheep!

So much for @ 50 dollars, More upgrades and tuning opportunities than any other intro gun. I just love it.

The power and the price! It's a .22 and is a lot of gun for the money.

I would change the plastic grip originally came with gun. The plastic grip feels "cheap" and slips easy. I have yet to figure out what types of grip I can use on this gun (I'm thinking putting a soft plastic grip over the handle).

This is one loud gun but shoots well. I have mounted a red-dot on it and that make my shooting a lot easier (and a lot more fun)! Initially I bought this gun for rat control in the back yard but since I got the gun I have not seen any rats around...strange!
