    Things I liked:

    I really like the Diana Bandit pcp pistol. It's my first time buying a Pcp air gun. I was a little skeptical, but I am very satisfied with my purchase. The Bandit is very accurate with the red dot sight that I added. I have not used the open iron sights on this pistol. The grip is rather large, but fits my hand fine. The accuracy is very good for a pistol. Only problems I've had are of my own unsteadiness with a pistol. I like the 7 round magazine! This was one of the reasons that I purchased this air gun. Very good for pest control in my back yard, squirrels Beware!

    Things I would have changed:

    I would like to see a shoulder stock that could be used without changing out the original pistol grip. The air cylinder Guage is rather hard to read. The front iron sights should be more prominent, possibly a different color than the rear open sight.

    What others should know:

    I bought this pcp pistol because of the price. It was the most affordable pcp pistol that I had found, yet it is very accurate and Iam very satisfied with my purchase. I am not sure if the iron sights accuracy of this pistol, since I purchased a red dot sight and haven't used the original iron sights.

    Things I liked:

    I got the .22 version. The gun itself is great value for the money. Fairly accurate and pretty hard hitting,(Went through a 3/4" piece of plywood after 4 or 5 shots!) Love the magazine too, first airgun I have with this feature.

    Things I would have changed:

    The only thing I don't like about this gun like is the grip. Seems made for a person with really long , skinny fingers, whereas mine are short and fat! However I took the old rotary grinder and Dremel tool to it, and after a few hours it now fits my hands perfectly, looks much better too as I rounded all the square edges and reshaped some parts of it.

    What others should know:

    You might have to patch some drywall if you shoot this thing indoors with only a piece of 3/4" ply as a backing - ask me how I know!!

    Things I liked:

    Price, build quality, new grip style. Also now includes a cover that spins around the fill port hole. Its A plastic sleeve that rotates around the end of the air cylinder that will keep dirt out of the fill port. Overall I think Diana stepped up the build quality. I read a lot of bad reviews about bad crowns, bad transfer ports with burrs, leads with burrs. Mine in perfect everywhere and is extremely accurate out of the box. These new Bandits coming out seem to be what the gun should have been from the beginning. For $180 its an Amazing bargain. I got the .22 version for backyard plinking and pest control. Love it

    Things I would have changed:

    Really wish Airguns would just switch to a picatinny rail instead of dovetail. I mounted a reflex sight but youre forced to use a dovetail to picatinny riser. Adds unnecessary weight and height to you setup.

    What others should know:

    The mew upgrades and quality control to this new bandit is spot on I feel. Zero complaints here. Great deal I feel at the $180 price tag. Thanks Pyramyd!

    Things I liked:

    Easy PCP pistol to use that does everything I need to do out to 30-50 yards . I get 3 mags per fill and thats cool since it only has a 50cc cylinder. I can also add the longer barrel and stock kit for the Chaser CO2 pistol or the Storm Riders air cylinder and barrel if I want.

    Things I would have changed:

    For the cost nothing. In a daydream world a regulator and a fatter air cylinder?. Still zero complaints

    What others should know:

    The best bang for the buck out there hands down in the PCP Pistol world by far! Super accurate and modifiable in many ways.

    Things I liked:

    I received mine Saturday and I was surprised at the quality of this pistol. I have fired about 500 to 600 rounds through it, and it takes about 200 pellets to break it in. After that I am shooting 1 hole groups at 25 yds and being 68 years old I dont have the best of eye sight to shoot iron sights! I think I am going to a scope. Suppressor works great and is very back yard friendly. For the money I would recommend this pistol to both new air gunners and veteran shooter alike! Also I have found it to not be very picky about pellets. I have shot 4 different brands in it and all shoot well. It really likes the H+N 18.52 gr. Barracuda hunter extreme! Overall a great pistol! Buy it and you wont be disappointed!! I have been shooting for 60 yrs with all types of firearms and a gunsmith for 50 years so you can take my word for it. Have fun and be safe! : Jerry S.

    Things I would have changed:

    I would like to see a selection of grips and maybe a barrel band for support on the front of the barrel. If anyone has tried this let me know the results. All so the safety could be in a better place.

    What others should know:

    I dont know much I have not said, but I think this is a great pistol for the money and you will have a good time with it! I think it all so will be good for small pests and small animals hunting. Its a good pistol! Buy one and you wont be disappointed!

    Things I liked:

    My .22 arrived Friday, 8/06/21. I spent time cleaning the inside of the barrel until it shined inside and I could see all of the grooves clearly. To my complete surprise, the very first pellot hit the bull's eye with no adjusts to the site. Over 50 shots have been fired and it is as accurate as was with the first shot. When fired, you will hear the hammer hit and the pellot hit, but nothing else. My Crosman 1377, 1322, and 2240 are neighbor-friendly and you will hear the fire. I can't say this Diana is neighbor-friendly because you cannot hear or feel it fire.

    Things I would have changed:

    Absolutely nothing, except maybe sending two magazines instead of only one.

    What others should know:

    I strongly recommend reading and following the instructions in the manual. Before firing any new pistol or rifle, clean the barrel. The inside of the barrel is coated with heavy grease to prevent rust. These airguns are shipped and salt air will rust the inside of the barrels.

    Things I liked:

    My Diana Bandit PCP is simply the most valued pistol in my Airgun collection. Not only does it push all the buttons for build quality, accuracy & comfortable handling/shooting . . . It was also a gift from my late wife: received posthumously . . . And so, is priceless to me! Pyramyds staff has been outstanding throughout every purchase Ive made . . . especially when I had an issue (self-caused) with my Diana Bandit. Stacey, in Tech, remedied the situation almost immediately, while we were on the phone. Above & Beyond!

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing!

    What others should know:

    Fast delivery . . . Great follow-up Service

    This is a very good entry level PCP air pistol. Get a chaser kit in the opposite caliber and you can mix and match stocks, barrels, breeches, etc. I can make 8 different variants with my .22 bandit and .177 chaser.
