Page 7 - Crosman C11 Reviews

Like the looks, size and feel of the C-11. Great, low cost cross-training for a compact centerfire pistol. Great sights, unbelievably good double action trigger pull for the money, decent accuracy. I get substantially more than 80 shots per CO2 cylinder

Occasional failure to feed, which has been improved by use and LIGHTLY lubing the interior of the magazine, follower, and spring with a little Break Free CLP on a Q-Tip. Ideally, I'd like to have a little more weight in the pistol, again, to more closely approximate a centerfire pistol

Excellent value for the money, and LOTS of fun

Quality, accurate, excellent little pistol. Hits pretty hard for a BB gun.

Wish it held more ammo! (not really a bad thing).

Very fun to shoot. Add a cheap laser sight and this gun is a dream to shoot. Crosman hit the mark with this gun. Feels nice in your hand and does not feel cheap like others I have owned. Best pistol for the money.

Very powerful and accurate pistol. Loading is a cinch and takes a multi apllication magazine that makes it easy to find and inexpensive. I have had no misfires and the CO2 seems to last forever! Safety switch works perfectly.

Safety switch tends to get hung up on some holsters so I had to file the sharp edges off to keep them from catching on the holster causing difficult draw and safety status change. It needs to have a pyramid shape or at least triangle being lower at the ends of the switch and high knurled in the center for ease of actual intended use. The CO2 grip cover is too loose and comes off. I have had to order additional ones from Crosman and place them in hot water with a clamping device to close the gap ever so slightly to perfect the tension. The grips are very inexpensive so it's not really a big deal.

This is a super air gun and if you can find it remanufactured here at Pyramyd the price is unbeatable and you are getting twice the gun you are paying for!! Just an awesome gun....period! I own two and am buying a third to allow multiple plinkers at a time!

Except for the grip, the pistol is very solid. The grip was very loose out of the package. I used some emory cloth to deburr the edges of the grip so it would fit tighter against the body of the pistol. This small change made the grip fit much more snug and keeps the grip from sliding back and forth. The pistol is a lot of fun for the money and I get nearly 100 shots from one CO2 cartridge.

Make the grip out of heavier plastic and fit more securely against the body of the pistol.

Great bargain at about $35. You will get many hours of enjoyment from this air pistol.

Great little "plastic wonder" air gun. Good for hand eye training, shooting fast at multiple targets on the cheap. In firearms training, nothing beats actually pulling the trigger and getting results downrange, for marksmanship. It's all about Muscle Reflex Memory. Shoot a hundred BB's a day for a month.. you WILL see a vast improvement in your shooting skills.

Nothing. You get a lot of fun gun for way under $50. Well, I do think they should throw in atleast one extra clip. That's the point of a clip fed repeater, right ?

I'm not too sure about the claim of 480fps. But it will rip through both sides of a soda can at 15 yards without even wiggling it. Great gun for the money. Plus, this thing is QUIET. I can almost snap my fingers as loud as this gun shoots.

This gun looks good and feels great in the hand.It's easy to operate.CO2 cartridges are very easy to load.Mine is functioning perfectly so far.The open sights are very good ones, as in the proportion of front and rear sights are about perfect.I would prefer all black-this gun uses a white dot on front sight only.The gun seems pretty potent compared to my Walther CP99 Compact Recon.

I now understand the complaints about the loose grip.My problem with it is not that its loose per se, but that, as you squeeze the trigger, the looseness of the grip will cause the grips to shift a little with trigger pressure, which then makes the sights do a quick "dip" throwing off your aim.I have to be careful to not let the bb fly until the grip has settled. So a more secure way for the grips to mount.Adjustable sights would be great.

I wasn't real impressed with the accuracy at first. My gun shoots to the right and a tad high with the fixed sights.My bad eyesight isn't helping either.So I removed my hard contacts and that helped clear up the sights for me.My groups are now improving.My best group at 15 feet from a rest slow fire gave me exactly one inch, but four of the five shots is into 1/2" center to center.That group is centered about an inch above point of aim and 1/2 inch to the right.I can live with that!This gun is way louder than my Walther CP99 Compact Recon. Probably too loud for some back yard shooting.I shot it a bunch yesterday though with no complaints- of course it was the 4th of July!Good gun for the price.

Shot 1500 rounds thru it and it's never jammed or misfired. It tends to shoot to the left a bit. But if my 9year old can hit a bulls eye from 30feet anyone can.

Blowback would be nice for the power it has.

Get this gun...

size in hand is good, weight/weighting (forward/back) also good. mag release drops mag cleanly. seems reasonably accurate. power doesn't seem to drop too quickly on rapid fire (cooling of gas)

sliding cover of cylinder, mine is real loose, like it's going to slide back on its own.

The heavy weight of the gun and the accurate target firing. This gun is easy to load with bb's and co2 cartridge.. Trigger pull is light but firm for a more responsive firing.

I would add something to make the grip a little harder to open. Otherwise everything else is excellent

If you want a gun that feels good in your hand that has the right amount of weight to it . This is the gun for you. easy to load and great to fire, get a couple extra clips for more shots in a short time.

price, and accurate

handle needs better lock so it don't slide while firing it.

shoots hard and is a great target gun. It also has weight to it and feels like a real pistol, need pistol case to really make it feel real.

lightweight, compact, durable.

Easier loading and greater ammo capacity.

Great bb pistol for the $$$. Mine tends to shoot a little to the right at 7 yards.

Power and reliability

Accuracy not so good

I like the Smith & Wesson M&P, Black better for the price. But this gun is reliable doesn't jam and I like this manufacturer.

18 shot capacity, price

That the co2 cover (the hand grip) would stay in place better and not be so loose feeling.

I don't think it shoots at its advertised FPS .It isn't very accurate at more than twenty feet or so.But it's cheap

Compact size, very accurate, GREAT value for the price

Nothing

Doesn't feel as powerful as the 480fps advertised, but still a powerful gun

Relatively accurate with a good look and feel. Great gun for beginners and well worth the money.

The handle does have a tendancy to slide open occasionally.

Great Pistol Very powerful for it's size Quite accurate too.Owned an older Crosman #454 many years ago this C11 Much better although the older model was all metal,This one made of newer Polymer Great feel and handles very well,Highly recommended Great Price too Over all excellent Purchase for the Buck (or BANG for the BUCK!!

I would include at least one extra magazine.other than that nothing needs changing from my perspective Great Pistol...

Concerning the complaints over the Grip I've not had any problems with it at all Don't hesitate to Purchase this Pistol you won't be Disappointed and also heed others suggestions BUY EXTRA Magazines!!!! Thx Rykaman

the look and weight of the weapon

nothing

fun should always be safe

It feels like a good caliber fire arm

The slide should have a lock but its ok.

the co2 gets low after 80 shots and the clip actually holds 20 bbs

Bought this for my husband and he really likes it better than his first bb gun. Its a nice size and its a nice weight. Excellent buy for an excellent price.

My husband would say nothing. I on the other hand can't stand how noisy it is. (Men you are probly laughing)

This gun can shoot bb's through about anything so be careful and if you don't know what your doing and aim at your target wrong it can recherch.

Looks good. Feels Good. Rail mount makes all the difference in the world once you slap a laser on this gun. Trust me, get a BSA laser for 30 bucks and you got a great shooter. I am having so much fun plinking evrything in sight. This gun has POWER, i would say more than advertized, and the CO2 goes a LONG way, over 100 BB's on average per cartridge. Be sure to get more magazines too, the are 100% metal and add weight to the gun. I'm very happy with mine. Get one.

There are many concerns about the sliding grip that houses the CO2 chamber. There an easy fix. A heavy duty lobster claw RUBER BAND!!! Your hand will conceal it as you hold the pistol and it is actually very very useful cause the handle slides back in place with a nice sound once you are done loading the CO2 cartridge and it will NOT FALL OFF. I don't care what it looks like and I think it looks cool infact. So there....I would change nothing else about this gun....the price is well worth it even if it lasts only for a few years, I'll buy another one.

Don't waste your time debating on other air guns unless you are into match quality...this is the most fun you'll have pulling the trigger as fast as you can with good power and accuracy.
