Wood handle, overall look and price.
Things I would have changed:I'd put the PSI gauge in a safer location and make the suppressor easier to interchange with the regular muzzle.
What others should know:Good value, comes with a magazine and a single shot slot loader.

Things I like the weight, the accuracy, the power.
Things I would have changed:Things I would change needs a rail on bottom for maybe a laser or a bi pod. The manometer should be someplace other then by the muzzle.
What others should know:air gunners should know this thing kicks butt, I hit a 6"x6" steel plate at 40 yards, at 20 years some really tight groupings.

Overall A lot of gun for the money. Seems to have pretty good power, have been using JSB heavys. Havent put a scope on it yet but the iron sights works well.
What others should know:First time ordering from pyramid air and was really disappointed as they sent me a used bandit. A bolt was stripped holding the mechanism to the grip and fingerprints were all over the thing. Look up reviews of their site, A lot of angry people recently, seemingly of the same thing happening.

Accurate, lots of shots per fill, pump friendly and fills in under a minute with my Hatsan air compressor.
Things I would have changed:No, its an absolute joy to shoot.
What others should know:People complain that it needs a barrel band. I don't find this at all. Very accurate at 25 yds and consistent up to about 40 shots per fill shooting .22 Crosman 14.3 hollowpoints, which also is much better than has been reported. I was considering a regulator based on reviews, but my real world usage has been so good I don't need the regulator. Also, not sure if they made the grip smaller, but its perfect for me. People were complaining it required large hands. I don't have huge hands and its perfect. There is nothing in this pcp pistol price range that can touch this gun. Absolutely wonderful gun.

This thing is freaking great. For the money, I don't think it can be beat.
Things I would have changed:Though this gun is very light, I would make the moderator removable.
What others should know:If you want an inexpensive back yard gun that you can also take in the field, this is for you.

The pistol feels good in my hands even though my hands are not large.Cocks and loads easy.It would be a good pistol to plink just as it is,but I did add a small scope.It is accurate out to 30 yards and probably farther.
Things I would have changed:Add a barrel support.The barrel flexes as it is.Include a standard air fill port.Why have a separate small part to keep up with?Make it part of the pistol.
What others should know:This is a very well made and nice looking PCP Pistol .I would buy it again .

PRICE, PRICE, PRICE and a PCP, quiet. accurate, trigger is acceptable once given attention, polish and adjust. Magazine, and moderator, bolt is precise.
Things I would have changed:Iron sights are well not quite junk but not far from it...the elevation is held in adjustment only by spring tension...probably won't hold adjustment..I don't know for sure since I took them off very quickly and added a $25 red dot sight. Grips are cheap and ugly, and blocky, just if you're picky go ahead and shape the grips for your hand. Trigger needs adjustment, make sure to clean the barrel, there was a bur on the transfer port. Remove barrel and inspect transfer port and breach, polish if needed.
What others should know:I had read the reviews and expected it would need a little attention...while it's not absolutely needed...it's nice to do and I like that sort of thing. The gun is simple so doing what I did was no big deal. Removed barrel, sanded and polished breech and transfer port....CLEANED barrel. Removed grips and cut and filled to fit my hand better, polished hammer and sear, and reset trigger screws for better trigger feel. Plus, sanded stock down, reshaped and got rid of all the hard lines on it...smoothed it out, added deeper stippling to stock...Even though I did all this to the gun I consider it a great gun for the price. Purchased a $25 red dot sight and this really helps the accuracy.

I now own 4 of these pistols, and I have a blast with them! From plinking, target shooting and hunting, they do everything I want them to do. I like the style, the function and of course the PRICE!
Things I would have changed:I have XL hands, and these grips are a bit large even for me. I found a company in Canada that stocks extra grips for these pistols so I could modify them and still have the original grips. A bit smaller all around would probably be best for all customers, but that remains to be seen.
What others should know:About the grips, as above. Best price for a PCP pistol I've found yet! A company in China makes these guns, and also a pistol that I just can't get over: the Artemis PP700-SA. It is a cousin to this Bandit and made by the same company, but sold under at least 4 different names. It is the most accurate, easy to use, most ergonomic PCP pistol I have ever found, and the price is unbelievable, esp. for what you get.....I know many people look down on Chinese products, but I have had absolutely NO issue with any of these guns. The PP700 is so popular it is hard to find, and in fact I had to go to a company in Canada for my .22, and PORTUGAL for my .17!! Purchase either or both pistols - you won't be sorry and you will have a blast!!

It actually has enough power to hunt with! I put a baby Hatsan rifle scope on it and Wa La 35 40 yrds no problem.
Things I would have changed:Mine could be the Gen 1 because I broke my bolt. My Gen 2 Storm Rider has a much more significant bolt so they definitely worked the problem out. I just bought mine too early.
What others should know:This thing is extremely quiet! If you don't know what you're listening for you don't know what it is that you're hearing across the fence, or across the houses. You can actually pest with this thing in extremely close proximity to occupied dwellings without alerting the people inside. I've had great luck in very low-light conditions almost undetected. Accurate enough to not worry about hitting by product.

For $180 this thing is awesome. If you collect PCPs. Just buy it. This costs about the same as the magazines to some of my others. :-). It is powerful and accurate. Amazingly accurate. In fact it annoys me that it always slightly beats my maurader pistol from the bench. Though the marauder has a lot more pellets through it. I added a UTG bugbuster scope and for quite some time this was my daytime rat hunter at the barn. I dont shoot it like a pistol. I pull than handle up to my chest close for eye relief and stability. It also comes with a moderator and the single shot tray which is nice. Its great for rats in the day when you dont want scare people walking around with a big rifle. The moderator does a good job and I dont startle horses either.
Things I would have changed:I did eventually break the bolt off. Pyramyd Air did send me an upgraded new on at no charge. Thanks! The magazines are a little flunky. Sometimes the last pellet sticks magazine needs to be wiggled to bring it around. Not that bad but not as solid as the maurader. Yes the grip is massive though that may have been changed. I got mine about a year ago. The FPS curve is also a little strange I posted a picture. Very powerful close to max fill then tapers off. I have made no adjustments though. Trigger was not great at first though after adjusting it the second stage is sharp though heavier than my other airguns. I can still shoot accurately from the bench or off hand.
What others should know:Again if you collect PCPs just get one. I also shoot FX, ataman and crosman and still find time for this one. If this is going to be your only PCP though Id recommend spending a little more for a maurader pistol. I had some minor issues including the breaking bolt and pellet feed issues. The taper of the barrel become dented down over time (I believe from broad hollow points). It started to damage pellets and got to the point I needed to run a tapered drill bit by hand over the feed end of the barrel to smooth it back out. Otherwise pellets would not load. I am still amazed about nearly hole on hole accuracy at 35 yards when accounting for velocity. Enough so that I did buy the regulator for it though the FPS dropped a lot. I took it our for now but will try again when I get some time. Most of the time I am shooting rats at 15-35 feet so velocity shifts at that close dont make much of a difference. Again nice affordable PCP. You cant go wrong

Feels good In your hand, Hits hard, Is accurate and very quiet. Relatively compact, lightweight, and easy to point, shoot and cycle the bolt. I was only able to use It 2 weeks and will discuss that below. Mine was In .22 and If I remember correctly, at 15 yards I could fire about 21 shots or 3 mags before noticable p.o.i. shift and It seemed shots 2-10 or 3-12 were the most powerful. The gun should have a barrel band, the stormriders works. The Magazines are solid as there main body's are made from die cast aluminum and have lexan/Plexi cover. They Insert Into the breech well and I liked the magnets they use In the breech and on the mags, to guide them or hold them In place. The single shot tray Is also solid aluminum with magnet and feeds good. The bolt cycles pretty good, not great, but this would most likely get better with time. I do feel the bolt and handle should be beefier, or made better as It does seem a little weak and I've heard of people breaking It.
Things I would have changed:Im not sure If I got a lemon, but It seems several people are having the same Issues. The guns decent and has potential, but quality control Is lacking. I was well aware when buying this .22 Bandit, that Its NOT a Diana (far from it) and that It's made by Snowpeak In China and It's also sold as a "Artemis" over sea's. Nevertheless, with Its price and good looks I had to try It. When I received It, Initial Impressions were good, It was packed well with owner manual, xtra breech 'o' rings, probe, Xtra probe 'o' rings, single shot tray, 1 magazine and the case, and It looked and felt like a quality piece. Upon shooting It, I quickly realized that the pellets were clipping the moderator endcap/baffle. No biggy, removed moderator endcap, baffles and aligned with wooden dowel, solved. Then the safety started jamming off and on. A day after that, the gun started leaking and losing about 500psi over night. At this time I decided to exchange It for another.
What others should know:I haven't received my replacement as the .22 are not available yet. I Been waiting a while but I will give it another shot because as I stated above, It Is a good gun and great value, when It's working.

Wow you guys at pyramyd air are really messed up. You guys won't even let me post a truthful review of the product. You guys have become so foul behind your veil of deceit. Your whole act is just to deceive people and string them along in hopes that they won't spend there money somewhere else. Then you sell Inferior products and won't let people post a truthful review about a product, WOW. Its ok, you can edit and block my reviews all you want, because I've already spoke with alot of people on the forums and they have confirmed everything I've just said. That's why people who actually have a clue about shooting, and those with firearm backgrounds can see through all your b.s. lies and figures. You might be able to polish a turd and sell it for $1,400 to some newby that never held a real gun in his life, but people that come from firearms can see, It's still just a P.O.S. The thing Is , when you spend $500+ On a firearm, It comes In a case, Is usually perfect, top notch machining,etc
Things I would have changed:Spend thousands of dollars with a company and they give you 20 dollars in "bullseye bucks" yaaaay!! String people along by giving false information and trying to attract idiots to the field who know nothing about guns, and shooting and then deceive them by selling them junk guns that are hyped up to be "Big game pcp's" and "Take Any game with ease" and your other corny remarks, when In actuality most of the big bores you sell are only around 120-250 ft lbs and won't even be legal to use on big game because of the 300-350 ft lbs energy restrictions that most states enacted. Furthermore this 300-350 foot pound regulation will be raised Indefinitely along with other rules, because the countless cases of Injured game, due to every Idiot with a big bore pcp that thinks he's a hunter and can harvest a deer or a boar, etc. Also I love your "Interactive hunting map" thats giving FALSE Information to people about airgun hunting. My state and several others are totally Inaccurate.
What others should know:I know you won't post this but maybe one of you behind the curtain of deceit will. I used to love you guys, but I see now, that your all about hyped up figures, trumped up b.s. and don't really give a damn about your customers. Its sad really because I used to love coming here for everything and was promoting you guys. Now It's quite the opposite.

Things I would have changed:First thing I'd change is "quality control. The safety doesn't work & the clip doesn't chamber very well."

Very very accurate put a red dot on it extremely Dead on if you are a left-hander it will be tough to keep reloading unless you switch the gun from hand to hand are both right-handed and left-handed it's more of a right-handed gun and there's no way to switch the lever on the other side for Lefty but great value overall Diana you really hit the mark on this one
Things I would have changed:Reloder can't be switched to right side for left-handers other than that the gun is great
What others should know:This gun has lots of power
