Page 3 - Crosman 2240 Reviews

Pretty much everything. I bought the pistol along with the 14.5" barrel, metal breach and buttstock for the 1377 and added a Simmons 4x32 scope, now its a really nice carbine I use for pest control. After a short break in period, it was shooting dime size groupings at 25y. Currently I have a modded Boss Valve and opened up the valve bushing and added an LDC, now at 25y I'm shooting just about hole-in-hole. And if you're into modding, there's endless possibilities for this platform. Im super impressed with this pistol to the point where I want to order another.

Add a separate cocking lever (like some of the older Crosmans) in order to keep a pellet in the chamber without having to have it laying around the house loaded (for pest control) or scrambling to load a pellet in it.

With the factory barrel in OEM configuration (unmodified) it is louder than I anticipated. Adding a longer barrel helps a little, but if you have nosy neighbors you might want to add a LDC.

Great value for the performance that it offers. Ive always been a bit leery of CO2 guns, but this gun has surpassed my expectations! Its plenty accurate for its intended range, and is a great tool for keeping shooting skills sharp, in your own garage or basement. Lots of fun, low price point, accurate, and relatively quiet!

Perhaps, Crosman could reduce some of the creep in the trigger.

Lots of mods out there to customize it to your own shooting style.

Light weight, easy to load, accurate on second or third shot.

Better sights!

Gun Ranges are still closed here (WNY) and this pistol is excellent for basement target shooting. The Crosman Pellet Trap is a must have.

nice weight accurate shooter and good power

uses up co2 quick

Every bit as fun as I remember from my youth. Glad to see some excellent designs never go out of style!

Bolt handle on left side.

Buy it you'll like it!

Don't have to pump! When you pull the bolt air from CO2 becomes charged making the CO2 last longer, vs constant air charge which can lead to leaks. Accurate, fun, powerful for CO2, and you can convert to PCP later. Perfect little pinker. Excellent price. Made in America!

Be nice if it came with fiber optic front sight and windage adjustable rear sight. Left hand bolt would be nice. All of which are easy upgrades for end user and some might consider fun to do themselves. Really not a complaint, just something to consider.

If you don't own one something is probably wrong with you.

Nice little .22 'pooter'...good for pesky squirrel and chippies.

Left handed bolt option

Haven't benched it yet, but shot good right out of the box. There are tons of add-on accessories for this unit. I had no idea.

Had to give it a try and like the heck out of it. Just had to move the back sight a little to the left and it was nailing a quarter at 25 feet (many a dime) in a cold basement with a 70 year old almost blind man doing the shooting. Probably will get a steel breech and dot later but because of my eyes and not the gun. Like the feel, looks the little kick. Even sounds good to me not to loud.

Not to much. If you want steel and a dot get it as a option otherwise you should be happy.

CO2 makes things nice and loads fast and easy. Decent price. Maybe all this talk about having to own one is true.

No pumping ,accurate and light

Plastic sight is the weak point i would pay extra for metal sights.

Bolt action and you can customize easily

HEAVY, POWERFUL AND ACCURATE

I REPLACED THE PLASTIC BREECH WITH A STEEL ONE.

NOT A TOY, VERY POWERFUL.

The grips really fit my hand well. The trigger isnt great but it is manageable. The loading process is easy as was the installation of the CO2 cartridge. I didnt care for rear sight so I installed a cheap Crosman red dot on the Crosman bases. It makes an accurate, well balanced pistol. 10 meter accuracy was 5 shot dime sized group.

I would put a better rear sight on it.

There are a lot of parts available on EBay and other sites to dress the pistol up. You can also get a custom gun built by Crosman.

This pistol and the custom 2300KT have proven to be very accurate right out of the box. The weight is very manageable for an older shooter. The sights are a bit on the rudimentary side on the 2240. The red dot supplied with the 2300 is good enough for a beginner.

The trigger pull is a bit heavy but can get reduced to a more reasonable rate. It's also a little rough. The manufacturer didnt do a very good job installing the rear sight.

Spring for the steel breach block. The plastic one on the gun lacks the dove tail grooves.

Defective, item returned

ease of use, loading, cocking, loading co2. Very good gun

Sights. Very hard to see

Nice pistol. Great deal for the money. With a little work, you can make the trigger and action silky smooth. No need to buy additional parts, just search YouTube and see how much you can do with this fine pistol with some 600 grit sandpaper and polishing compound. PyramydAir had the best price and fast shipping.

A threaded barrel and better sights. But for the money, it's a well made pistol.

There are lots of upgrades available that you can purchase for this pistol but also a lot you can do yourself at little or no cost with just some basic tools and elbow grease.

Power, right on out of the box and feels good

no

good low cost co2 pistol

The over all feel of the gun

Make the steel breach as a standard equipment

It's loud .

I knew what I was buying and I am pleased some things don't change. I bought the 2240 for my wife because she is tired of cranking on her spring gun. She loves me now.

Nothing

Perfect plinker that my wife will upgrade in the future.

Purchased as a replacement for pump up air pistol for aging father, no patience or strength in arms and hands Ease of use and low effort to use a big plus. Excellent quality for price.

slightly longer barrel
