Crosman PFM16 Reviews

All metal construction.. decent power.. about 80 or so shots per co2 cartridge

Horrible safety mechanism ! Takes getting used to CO2 piercing screw flimsy

Use pelgun oil one drop on capsule every time .. ive fired over 2000 bbs and so far no seal issues The gun feels good in the hand Mine shoots about 1/2 in low but compensate and it groups about 2 in at 5 yrds All in all a decent lil plinker

I've bought about 6 of these, so you can tell I like them a lot. Every one of them started leaking at some point......it's the seals inside that fail, not the seal where the CO2 cartridge goes. Also, I leave a cartridge in, and there are long periods where I don't fire the gun......I want it available to shoot when I need to. I love the Looks, Weight, The feel of the gun, and that it's a Powerful Shooter

Seals that last longer, or seals that are available to buy. I've taken one apart, and would love to be able to replace the 2 green seals inside.

I never used the Pel Gun lube....maybe that would solve the issue.

Nice weight and feel. No negatives

nothing

Pyramid always does great. Shipping is always fast.

Shoots hard & straight

Include 2 magazines

Good power through 80 shots

It has good accuracy, shot count, fps, and weight. It's a clone of a berreta cheetah. The magazine is nice.

The safety is ugly and obstructive. I wish it had just like a little sliding safety instead. The gun will not take crosman c10 phantom mags. They do function in the gun, but they need to be held in the gun constantly or they won't work. The grip is a little too wide IMO. I also really don't like the co2 piercing screw system.

This gun is really fun. I have close to 8500 bbs through it. I bought it for $42 at my local Walmart one and a half years ago. It is a great little pinker for sure. If you want spare mags I would recommend the berreta versions. They function just like the mag the gun comes with. I highly recommend putting some Pel-Gun lube on every 3rd cartridge. It really helps the seals stay good. The seals on mine have started to leak while firing so I would highly recommend you use pel gun oil frequently.

I like because is full metal and heavy

I got problem only with the spare magazines, not with the original, I don't want change nothing, because work excellent

Just excellent

It is very solid metal construction. Accuracy is reasonable considering it is a short barrel.

Some how make the trigger pull easier. Make the front sight more visible.

It fits the hand very well. Has very appealing looks.

Was hoping for a little more power and accuracy. It shoots 26 degrees to the right almost ever time you shoot it. But for the price its okay!

More power! Better accuracy.

The gun is heavy, powerful and appears well made for the low cost.

Front sight is barely visible, it should be bigger at least have luminous paint like the Daisy. The screw to tighten the CO2 cartridge is plastic on metal, only a matter of time before it breaks, should be all metal. The grip slide to replace cartridge is clumsy and difficult to open. The trigger pull is very hard causing you to yank it when firing.

This gun is extremely loud but not accurate at all.

The weight and feel of the air pistol is very nice. Its about the size of my Ruger EC9S. The double action trigger pull also duplicated many of the small automatics. Accuracy was about 2 inches at 10 yards.

Nothing

Very easy on use of CO2.

I like this gun a lot - for a non- blowback. But, the spare magazines they told me to get don't fit the gun.

Let customers know what to buy for spare magazines.

Trigger pull is a bit tough.

Great value for the money. Powerful gun. Heavy solid metal construction. Reliable. 140 shots/cartridge. Great service from Pyramydair.

None

No

accuracy and power

ALL METAL, FUN TO SHOT

THE TRIGGER PULL

GET EXTRA MAGAZINES AND PLENTY OF CO2 THIS AIR GUN IS FUN TO SHOOT. POWERFUL

Everything except the trigger. It's a long and hard trigger pull. But ! That's why it's only $40.00 bucks. U want a nice trigger, U gotta pay for it. Otherwise a nice pistol for the money.

The trigger

The beretta elite 2 is a perfect match metal air gun magazine.

This gun has the feel, handling, and looks (from a distance) of a real firearm. It loads with a clip and is accurate and fun to shoot.. I seem to get about 50-60 shots or more from a CO2 cartridge. It is mostly metal and feels good in the hand. It has a safety that is effective at preventing accidental discharge

I bought this BB gun to teach my grandson to target shoot under carefully supervised conditions. However the long and difficult trigger pull makes it too hard for him to shoot accurately. If he uses the index finger of both hands he can get it to shoot but with poor accuracy. It also is laborious from my standpoint and adds to inaccuracy during practice as I have to be very careful not to pull my shots off target. Sighting would be easier if either the front or the rear sites had Inset dots painted white.

Absent that tough trigger pull this gun is a remarkably fine practice weapon. It is not obvious that it is not a real firearm so caution would be advised around law-enforcement and picky neighbors.

Amazingly accurate for a fixed-sight pistol! I can easily hit the end of a soda can at 50 ft. with a two-handed grip.

Trigger pull is long and hard.

After 10 shots, I need to have both hands on the grip and both index fingers on the trigger in order to keep the gun steady. I suspect that the strength needed to pull the trigger is directly related to the BB velocity (which is great), but I'm not a mechanical engineer, so I'm not going there.

Weight...look...power...accuracy

......O.......

crosman makes great products ..

This little guy is my go-to plinker. Its 95% metal and 5% what seems to be durable abs plastic, and darn it's accurate! This was what got me back into the game of air gunning. I served in the military like a lot of us (3rd AD Spearhead not bragging just representing) all shot Marksman in all my qualifications with M16A1/A2 and was very proud of that but after a visit to PA on a whim and some reading I got this little baby and brought her home. I shot a Desert Eagle ONCE and a couple of Browning 1911's but this weapon is truer at short distances and I don't have a black eye for two weeks. After shooting my .177 Beretta blow-back it's nice to pickup this little weighty thing for some more accuracy. I get about 60 shots from a Co2 cartridge or more with some pacing and all hit the tango from 20ft using Daisy Zinc coated BB's as I've read that they do better than the Copperheads by Crosman and is true. The trigger-pull is smooth and delivers every time on time.

Can't say enough about this weapon except the availability of extra magazines of the EXACT quality that come with the pistol. I've check the blogs and can not find one person that has found the right mags without some mods to make them fit. I've checked Crosman parts catalogue and ordered the same parts numbers but I get mags mad of plastic and metal that must be held in place (not from PA sorry).

Extra Full Metal mags are hard to find but will update this review when I do find them because I will as a personal quest. I conclusion this is a perfect weapon for all ages and next to my Crosman American Classic Single Shot Pumpmaster this is a fun performance filled pistol. Hope this helps... at least a lil bit.

This gun is not a copy of any actual firearm as far as I know, but I think it is very realistic. The all metal construction gives it a nice weight. The size is perfect for me, not a big full size hand gun, but nice and compact. The power is very impressive for a BB gun, it shoots through both sides of an empty soup can, and also can go through at least 8 layers of cardboard (like a shipping box). It is also surprisingly accurate. I Mickey Moused a laser sight and shoot at 24 feet in my garage, if I shoot a whole magazine of 20 (I think) BBs I end up with 1 big hole less than 1 inch, and about 3 or 4 random flyers nearby.

A rail under the barrel or on top for mounting a laser or red dot would be great. Also, the grip should lock when its closed.

Would blow-back and all the moving parts of the super realistic pistols be nice? Sure, but then this gun would cost twice as much and wouldnt be as powerful. Personally I think if shooting is more important than realism, then this is a real sleeper of a gun. Maybe the best non blow-back BB pistol out there.
