Page 4 - Diana Airbug Reviews

I just like the pistol. I have owned a few 22 cal. CO2 air pistols and this is the best because it is well designed, shoots well, not too expensive especially with the target grip and the magazine is great. There are not many 22 cal. CO2 air pistols so if you want a decent one this may be your only choice.

The grip is too large for me. I have to modify it but will be worth the trouble. Wish there were a choice of grip sizes.

Accuracy is good for a pistol in this price range. Very good CO2 pistol for practice of marksmanship basics. Noise level is low enough so neighbors don't complain. Powerful enough to take out small vermin at close range, less than twenty yards. Fit, finish and appearance are good.

More robust rear sight. Tighter sear adjustment screw. Wood grips look nice but are configured for smaller hands than mine. Will probably reshape a little.

Trigger is mediocre but better than other comparable priced airguns, and requires frequent adjustment. Adjustment screw moves. A bit of blue loctite may fix this. Rear sight could be better. Accuracy starts to deteriorate after 25 to 30 shots, depending on ambient temperature. This one likes Super Dome pellets. A minor inconvenience since I have a large supply of H&N and JSB on hand. This Diana model will likely give serious competition to other air pistols at this price point. I'm glad I bought it. Will likely purchase a similar Chaser for a grandchild.

The magazine was defective. it was replaced promply. Very good support.

First, it is a Diana, so I was expecting a German made pistol. Nope, China. Still, the quality seems very high, and it is a very attractive pistol with great blueing and nice wood. It had one small nick on the grip, which was the only flaw. The bolt on the left side is easy to operate without loosing your purchase on the grip, so you can empty the 7 round magazine quickly. Single shots are much slower, as if the pellets dont enter evenly, they hang up and must be repositioned. Not a problem with the magazine. Accuracy seem spot on at 15 yards, and as it comes set up, it shoots to point of aim at 20-25 yards. Screwing down the rear sight brought it to point of aim at 10-15 yards. Power is good (i am guessing 400fps?) and i am getting 25 or more shots per co2 cylinder in 22 caliber. Overall a very nice backyard gun that is fun to shoot and very satisfying. It comes in a nice zippered carry case, too.

Actually, nothing. It is exactly as advertised and I am very pleased with it.

I am not a hunter, but would probably not hunt with this pistol as it lacks the power to kill cleanly.

have owned pump guns, break overs and even loved my daisy red rider... but this thing is the creme de la creme! dead on at 30 yds out of the box.. I even love the bag it came with, do a little customizing and it is perfect now. the Grip and feel of this thing is so comfortable, i swear they took a print of my hand... the wood is absolutely stunning. My Brothers are both Uber jealous. B. E. A. utiful....

not much, safety button is a little hard to find with my sausage fingers, so it could use a stand-out tag to find easier.

30 rounds full strength seems to be max shots, but there is a lot of low power shots left in a can. be careful pellets bounce back easier with low power. i usually expend the end of cylinders after about 35 shots.

the grip fits my grand daughter's hand perfectly. It is light weight and easy to cock , and the trigger was perfect for her.

I put a Williams rear sight on it which fit right out the box and highlighted the front and rear with white paint.

include more magazines!

Very accurate and fun to shoot.

make magazine loading easy

Everything a pleasure to shoot and very accurate

Nothing

buy one you will love it

Its a nice gun to shoot and my hands are just fine for the grip size. The fit and finish are very nice in this price catagory. The magazine is easy to load and function is very good

I only got about 50 shots and the action would not cycle. Since I have worked on air guns for many years I decided to take it apart and see what gives.. the seat pin had slid out and the trigger pin was also close to the same. The pins are too small and work their way loose. For now I taped them in place but will eventually make my own trigger group pins

Other than the pins on my gun I would say this is a very nice air gun. But if you cant cycle the action check for loose roller pins

i was very impressed with this pistol, set up targets inside "to cold out 17. set sights up in no time shotting at 15 yards in my basement and it is just a joy to shoot. easy one inch groups and getting better. Great gun, set up very nice!!

Nothing

Yes buy one and have some inexpensive fun !!

Diana quality, look of pistol and included fitted case.

Its probably just me, but I find the grips a little large and finish is slick, making accuracy inconsistent .I will likely have to work the grips, reducing palm area and making finish less slippery.

Easy to use and quite accurate

Do not know of anything yet

Quiet enough for back yard

Works great. Comfortable grip, easy to steady, accurate site out of the box.

Larger Caliber .25 and .30 would be great.

The 22 is perfect for target practice. Very well made!

Pistol grip fits well in the hand. Bolt action has smooth operation. Trigger pull out of the box is fine. Smooth take up, and crisp at the end.

Don't get me wrong the iron sights are fine for young eyes, but mine have trouble finding the front post. I am ordering a mini reflex sight for the dove tail. I am not sure even with high mounts I would be able to clear the mag if I want to use any other scope, or reflex sight. That is not to say you can't. I'm just saying that from what I see I'm not chancing it.

Over all a good, and well made fun shooting product.

Everything. It was made for my hand. Right out of the box at 30 ft. it was dead on target. Would have been perfect if it had come with the magazine. Now I have to wait till they are back in tock. Thought the $10 extra for testing it also include making sure it was complete.

Just make sure kit is complete before sending.

I have over 15 hand guns from BB to pellet and this is my favorite.

handles and shoots well.

none

shoots good.

Very acurate easy to use for the price you can't go wrong P.A.is great to work with I ordered this on a Monday and got it Friday

Nada

Handles well. easy to cock. Number of shots per CO2 cartridge is as advertized.

The first magazine malfunctioned and Pyramid replaced it. The new mag works as it should. The sear adjustment screw is very loose in the threaded hole in the trigger. Adjustment is require every 30-40 shots. The screw issue is still without resolution.

Easy to load and very accurate.

NOTHING

Gorgeous pistol, beautifully finished. Precision designed and manufactured. Nicely balanced and the grip fits my hand like a glove. At 525 fps (.177), it's plenty powerful. German-designed, albeit assembled in China. Very accurate. Bolt and cocking mechanisms are solid, although a little notchy. Inserting and removing cartridges is a breeze.

The magazine. When it works, it's great, but should it jam, it's a big problem. If you don't get a pellet fully into the chamber and then pull the bolt back for another try, the magazine can advance to the next cylinder. So you either have to try to force two pellets into the chamber or worse, if that was the last round, the magazine will block the bolt from closing. And the magazine can't be removed since there's a pellet partway in the magazine and partway in the chamber. You can't back the pellet out with a barrel rod since the magazine will block it. The only solution is to brute-force the magazine out, sheering the pellet. So make sure the pellet gets all the way into the chamber on every shot, even if you have to force the bolt closed, and NEVER pull the bolt back until the pellet is fully chambered and shot.

It's a great pistol. Unfortunately, the manual's not very clear, but there are Youtubes. The rear sight needed a slight adjustment, which was easily done. It's tempting to overtighten the cartridge tube cap, but when fully seated, mine shows an 1/8" gap from being fully closed. And the "strengthening rod" isn't for tightening, just for loosening. The hole in the cartridge tube is for venting residual gas, so point it away when unscrewing the cap. And lastly, be careful if using the magazine (see "Things I would change...").
