Page 5 - Crosman C11 Reviews

The looks, the power and the after market mags that are compatable with the Beretta and S&W M7P 40.

I hate re-reviewing this pistol, but it is the second one I've ownwd. The first one would not take a powerlet without leaking a lot of gas. This one did the same thing but not near as bad. This needs to be addressed.

I have a friend that has one that has held up pretty well. But he does not give a gun the workout I do. Still, this one was not shot that much, even by my standards. Several thousand rounds I'm sure, but for $50... I am dissappointed because this gun shoots good.

nice weight

Too many misfires (no BB comes out)

Very good size. The CO2 placement is convenient and designed to quickly replace cartridges. Magazine eject button is also easy to get to; ejects quickly, smoothly and snaps back into place firmly. Safety is positioned well to make sliding it on/off easy. Weight is just right for the size (weighs a little more than my 1088 and that is a bigger gun). This gun is worth more than the cost!

Sight adusting would be nice. Mine arrived sighted in for about 25-30' which was great. A lock for the CO2 slide when closed would also be a plus. For the money, these are just very small changes to a great gun.

I got the Crosman 0423 laser sight and it fits this gun perfect. Sighted in, proved what I already thought about the gun being accurate at 25-30' with the mounted sights. It fits very nicely in the Crosman 7"x4.5" holster without the laser sight but the sight has a quick on/off mount design. It has a squeeze design to mount-dismount.

Ergonomic design, accurate, good ROF, realistic, plenty of punch.

Make mag easier to load, also smooth out internals of mag. I would want an extra mag provided also.

This is a fantastic little plinker for $40! It looks and feels very realistic, and will hole a tin can (not an aluminum soft drink can!) at 20 feet. Once you get it broken in, it will spit out rounds as fast as you can pull the trigger. And it's very acceptably accurate, at least for my purpose of using it as a surrogate for my CCW sidearm for proficiency shooting at lethal encounter distance. It's just fun, also! I did experience failure to feed several times during the first few shooting sessions, but I attribute that to internal roughness in the magazine. I put a little Rem oil into the mag and worked the follower up and down several times, and feeding improved. However, there is still a sticky spot where the follower passes the loading port on the mag - probably just a bit more wear and that will smooth out. Definitely more than $40 worth of fun in this little jewel!!

Great velocity and a great quality product for the price.

Nothing.

The C11 also is available with a compensator for even greater velocity.

It's easy to shoot. Point, Pull the trigger. Loading is a breeze, and what I really like is that the ammo clip found in this gun is similar to a lot of other models so spares are easy to get. It's small, and pretty powerful. It feels good in my hand, the white dot sight up front is nice too.

The barrel is a bit shorter then I would like. My laser sight doesn't quite fit. It's not a big issue, it's just a bit short. I wish they had white dots on the back sight as well, it's simple to fix but it would have been nice to come stock. A rail up top would be great but then you get into the price range of the tactical.

This is definitely a good hand pistol. It does take a bit of getting used to if you have never shot before. I am a first time user with CO2 and this was my first. It's my baby and despite the few things I remarked I wouldn't trade it for any other.

Size, weight, styling, placement of safety, pull weight of trigger. I also like the underbarrel rail and its relationship to the trigger guard which is perfectly accomodates attachment of the Crosman laser accessory.

The fixed sights are way off on the unit I received and there is no adjustment to compensate for this. Thank you to whomever suggested the underbarrel accessory rail. This C11 misfires quite a bit. I believe it may be something to do with the spring in the rapid load clip.

Buy plenty of clips as you will go through several to find a few that don't misfire.

This is a terrific pistol for the money(and I paid $39.99 at a local retailer)...This is a terrific pistol, period. It is easy to load up the 18 - 20 BB's into the metal magazine and put all of them QUICKLY into a very tight grouping right where you are aiming. I am new to air guns, with a Beretta PX4 Storm(SEE MY REVIEW) purchased in addition to this Crosman as my first 2 pistols, and the Crosman C11 makes me look like a pro.

As others have said, the CO2 lid is a joke...but I don't find it to be too much of an issue. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to load a new CO2 canister without leakage. Those are really my only 2 issues with the gun. If I were to nitpick??? It is bottom-heavy and the plastic used is perfectly fine...but just a pinch too plasticky. None of these negatives impact accuracy though...and if the handle is particularly heavy due to the metal clip, leave it just the way it is!!! Even though this is somewhat off-topic and belongs in a seperate review...the only thing I would change is the Crosman C11 Tactical package, which was also available at the retailer and I was VERY close to buying it instead of the standard C11. It offers a slightly higher FPS due to the longer barrel/silencer, but the accessories(laser, silencer, etc.) have been pretty much knocked across the board in the reviews here at Pyramyd Air. The C11 is an amazing gun...it deserves a better tactical package. Save the dough...buy a C11 and accessorize it afterwards.

If I remember correctly, the Crosman C11 is based on the Beretta 9000-series design. While the Beretta PX4 Storm I bought is a progression of the Beretta 8000 Cougar. For the real-deals...that's a world of difference for a lot of reasons. In the world of airguns, however, it only translates to some design elements. Both of these guns are roughly the same size and power, as well as use the same propellant and ammunition(+1 for the PX4 also firing pellets). Both are comfortable in hand, are repeaters, and are relatively inexpensive(under $100.00) Nevertheless, to those of you eyeing both, or considering ending up with both...why did *I* get both??? These two guns are VERY different beasts. The PX4 is more realistic...with its blowback, functioning metal slide, overall weight, overall feel, and "recoil." The C11 is light, ridulously accurate quick shot after quick shot, and a particularly great gun for newbies like me...as it is easy to operate, handle, and learn all of the basics to air pistols, including the thrill of hitting the center of your target. You will not regret buying the Crosman C11!

It doesn't jam. It does what it says it will do. It's not the most accurate, but is great for plinking.

A super pistol - accurate,affordable,and quality throughout.

No need.

Use protective eyewear & BE SAFE!

NICE GUN,GOT MY BANG FOR MY BUCK!!!-00613-

NOTHING-00613-

JUST BE SAFE WHEN SHOOTING THIS GUN,THATS ALL!!!-00613-

You can't beat this gun for the price. It's powerful and fun to shoot. Had a blast with my kids shooting it in the garage. It's not very accurate, but I wasn't really expecting it to be. Decent CO2 usage, but only if you're not trigger-happy.

Maybe use a plunger or locking lever type mechanism for the CO2 cylinders instead of the screw-type that it has?

I have large hands and this gun feels small to me, but if fits perfectly in my teenage daughter's hands. Fun to shoot rapidly, but that consumes a lot of CO2.

Style and feel

None

Blow back action would be nice but all in all, it's a great piece for the money

powerful, more than i need. decently accurate. hit soda cans at 25ft easily within spot i aimed for with in about 2". it's a bb gun after all, you can't expect super precision.

co2 valve and mounting setup not so great. hard to get perfect, at least on my gun. wasted a brand new cylinder the first time. second time let more gas out than i would have liked trying to not over tighten. its okay, but not the best design i've ever played with. grip cover is the worst design ever. mine wasn't as sloppy as some describe, but it's not secure either. terrible design, that eventually will need to be fixed with tape to hold it on.

good, cheap co2 bb pistol with lots of power. what else could one want? hits hard and accurate for what it is. lots of backyard fun. it is a bit loud though for heavy suburban use. depends on your neighbors though and how close they are to your yard.

The compact size, the power and the trigger pull is beautiful. Seems to be fairly accurate, still getting used to the sights.

Not much, I'm partial to adjustible sights. Mine shoots a bit low, it wont as soon as I get a little time.

I finally bought one. The first specimine had a defective magazine. The second one works fine. I have several after market mags and they work fine in it. Agood buy.

this is a fun one good accuracy much better than i expected nice power and a metal magazine and it is also good on co2 fits well in my hand and i have big hands the gun is made out of plastic but it dose not feel cheap or flimsy it is also nice that this pistol has a rail i would highly recommend this gun to anyone for an excellent plinker

it would be nice to have an adjustable sight

if you still have a bbs in the magazine when you remove the mag from the gun it will drop1 bb out of the frame

cheap and powerful.

everything.

Mag release broken after 50 shots.

i like the feel in the hand it has a nice weight.the removeable mags are nice as always i buy as many mags i need so i can use up a co2 without reloading a mag. accuracy is very good.remember folks its a $35.00 bb gun!! trigger pull is not bad.shots per co2 is good.and power is very good.

the grips need to be tighter!! but really not a problem any shooter knows if you hold the gun correct, a firm grip ! i put a little electrical tape in the groove and it helped!

dont get to picky. crosman makes great airguns and you cant beat there prices for what you get. i have crosman guns from the 70s and they all still work. as the old saying go's you get what you pay for.i can spend 3 times the money for a gun that will be perfect in every way.BUT i dont make it any more fun to shoot. have fun and always shoot SAFE!

Low price, good clip (usable w/ other guns)

make the co2 cover actually stay and not go all flimsy and come off when you grab it. wish it was more accurate. Leaked co2 after the first co2 cartridge

If you get this gun, get the clips, then get the beretta that they are compatible with.

Can't believe there is a better gun for the value.

Would have helped to have instructions in English but the gun is so basically simple that they really aren't needed, plus, they are available online in English.

Highly recommend using the steel bbs. The copper ones tend to dimple is stored for long periods.
