Page 4 - Crosman C11 Reviews

The crosman C11 is a great example of crosman's C02 line of airguns, It has good power, It is accurate and is a great all day plinker for the whole family. The weight is good and the velocity is excellent and there are extra clips for it. The trigger pull is a little heavy but what would you expect for this type of pistol. The design is well thought out and putting the C02 cartridge in is easy and the drop out clip was a cool idea.

The only thing that I would change is to put some kind of lock on the grips so that they don't slide back when you hold it a certain way.

Buy some extra clips for it because you will have so much fun with it you wont want to put it down and also buy a good laser for it to get pin point accuracy. The C11 is a great buy and at the price you can't beat it.

Power

Better quality mag release, co2 cover handle

I've had this gun for almost a year and have shot 2400+ bb's through it. The mag release broke after about 6 months so I took it apart and found there's a little plastic tab that broke that fits in the spring slot which the coil spring pushes against, which in turn returns the mag release button back to it's "hold" position, meaning hold the magazine up in position. The tab is about the size of a pencil lead, I super glued it and it's been working fine. Don't know how long it will last, it took a couple hours to figure out how to put it back together as it all kind of falls apart once you open it up. It has 5 different coil springs in it. I to had some problems with leakage when loading a cylinder but have found that if you hold the gun in your left hand by the barrel with the right side of the gun down when piercing a cylinder with the screw mechanism it works great, I haven't had any leaks at all doing it that way. I've had experience with 4 other co2 guns (Colt Defender, S&W R8, Walther CP99 Compact, Crossman C41) and this gun shoots as hard on the chrony as the C41 (450-480 fps, depending on temps), which is rated slightly higher @495 fps, and harder than the other more expensive ones. For a bottom dollar gun it kicks butt in the power dept. As for accuracy, a smooth bore is basically spitting out knuckle balls, so outside of 20 feet it's all over the place. My S&W R8 is much more accurate, but less powerful (420 fps at best).

This is a smooth, powerful and very accurate pistol well worth the money and then some, I own several other pistols that I have paid a hole lot more money for that are not as good as the crosman c11, I would deffantly recommened it to everyone, it has a very smooth trigger pull which allows you to keep your sit picture for a clean center shot. If you have problems with jurking the trigger with you real firearm as I did practicing with this pistol will deffantly help to correct that problem, I am thinking of purchasing a couple of more for my collection along with the c11 tactical version. Love this pistol.

I would not change anything its fine just as it is

The C11 looks great, just like a semi auto handgun should. Feels great in the hand. Sights are good as far as sight picture. Trigger isn't too bad. Mine feeds reliably.

Grip secures pretty loose.

I'm a 59 year old lifetime shooter of smokeless firearms. I competed in 100 meter and 200 meter handgun mettalic silhouette matches for years, and some bowling pin shooting. Lots of handload developement and experimentation. As such my accuracy standards are high.Few airguns, and especially BB guns come near the level of accuracy I want. So, I'm kind of spoiled here.This C11 is not accurate. At 10 yards or so I can get maybe 1" groups from a rest. I'm used to 1/2" at 25 yards with a scoped handgun from a rest.Having said that this gun is still fun for me to shoot. I don't have to spend the whole day driving to a range. I have a Umarex CP99 that came with a dot scope that can put BB's into 3/8" at 10 yards from a bench. I need to lower my expectations for shooting BB guns.

Price and accuracy (for being a BB gun). The weight/feel is very nice for plinking/target shooting.

Reliability/Quality control. The plastic(?) retention clip/device for the BB magazine seems to be a weak point on this gun.

I really liked this gun as a basement/plinking/multishot shooter. This is a fun gun to shoot but for the following; The magazine retention (plastic?) broke within 6 months. Also one out of 6 magazines would no longer hold the BBs. Multi-shot IS fun, but not (IMO) a substitute for true accuracy in a pistol. I much prefer my Crosman 1377 for basement shooting.

Everything the weight is perfect, shoots bbs as fast as you can pull the trigger, accurate, and affordable

nothing

I've owned this gun and it's a well built gun I've slammed the mag in a few times and it never broke. However I don't recommend doing so just in case

Very fun and accurate goes right through soup cans!

I don't like the trigger pull it is very hard and it messes up your aim. I would also take out a lot of the plastic in this gun.

I also have the tactical version you should check it out on Pyramyd air they have a good deal for it.

I owned this gun at one point and can say I loved it. It wasn't too heavy nor too light. The construction was solid and it looks so real it fooled my older brother into trying to pull the slide lol. It fired just as fast as I could pull the trigger and is very accurate. It's designed so that the c02 cartridge fits into the grip keeping it out of the way. It's well worth the money

Nothing

Only the outside of the gun is plastic the frame is metal making it feel as if you're holding a real gun. Also it's very easy to mistake it as a real gun from first glance so do not carry it in public as it could cause trouble.

Total workhorse!No frills,but plenty for such low price.Carry mine daily at work with Utg lite to dispatch everything from rodents to rattlesnakes(see PAtwitter acct for pics!)Plenty of shots/cartridge.A breeze to load both BBs and CO2.Accurate in crawlspaces and atticsThings I would have changed:

Mag release-it bumps EVERYTHING and releases mag about 1/8", just enough to misfire.

Cant beat it for performance to price ratio! Literally saved my life with a timberrattler, so yeah-Im a BIG fan!Grab extra magazines,because you're gonna burn through them once you get started!

very accurate little bb gun for a good price.how accurate?cherry tomatoes at 10 feet,shreds pop cans at 20

better lock to the sliding handgrips

got this one locally on sale for $20...wish i had went back and got the rest!get extra clips and stock up on co2!whole lot of fun for under $40

Close range accuracy (10 yds),feel and handling.For the cost a good fun bb pistol.

Loading CO2 air loss,mag release binds,

Realize you get what you pay for.

The power of this gun is great.

Rubber grip would be nice

Accuracy was a bit off

Light weight, Easy to load,

should have had rubber coated hand grip

Cool BB gun.fun practicing..

liked size, handling, power, looks of the gun,rapid fire capability, positive lock-in of the magazine,and reliable, jam-proof performance, cylinder after cylinder.

perhaps, 3-dot sights, but I can easily do that, myself.

great value for the money.I discovered C-11's have been around for awhile,but only recently came across them at Pyramyd Air.I wear one now whenever I'm outside.Lots of fun to shoot.Order two from Pyramyd Air. I did, although not a thing has gone wrong with the first one, yet. I probably fired 800-900 shots through it already. I highly recommend the C-11.

Ease of use for the beginner. Sturdy feel of the pistol in your hand

None

Almost a natural extension of the hand. Good, tight groups at 15 feet shotting DA. This is a great intro level CO2 gun. Excellent safety.

I've had difficulty loading the CO2 capsule and nearly 50% of the time I have a major gas leak before I can get the small wing screw tight enough. There is just not enough space for thumb and forefinger and the screw does not afford an easy purchase.

very nice gun shoots well one inch group at 15 meters with leaser loads easy fun to shoot hits hard about 200 shots a cartage

nothing its fun

worth my money

THE DROP OUT MAG.

THE GRIPS.

AN OK GUN FOR BEGGINERS.

the weight everything power

clip holder breaks to easly i bought one it broke the same day

dont slam the clip in it will break the holder and you will have many miss fires

this pistol has good weight to it. it handles well, and easy to load. great for back yard target shooting, and varmit control.

handle grip cartridge cover could be a bit more hefty, tends to be slightly loose. an extra clip would be nice.
