Page 4 - Diana Chaser Reviews

Nice weight and well made fits my very well

Front and rear sight hard for me to see Needs fluorescent dot on front sight

Be safe Treat any gun with respect

feels good in my hand,shoots accurately and powerful

would put white dots on sights for easier seeing

shooting indoors right now,basement temp is in the high 50`s,i keep co2 in my pockets,and im shooting from 30 ft,the gun performed best with a lighter pellet ,an the domed H&N field trophy pellets 8.64 grain were hitting dead center ,compared to wad cutters in different weights. gun is loud but i like that and you get a good shot count out of a co2 ,(didnt count ,but know i loaded many))

Aesthetics - looks and feels great, nice weight and well balanced for a long-barreled target pistol (it's looks are what boosted my over-all rating to 5 stars); full size grips give me great control; trigger a little long but smooth and consistent; very good sights, easy to adjust. Love the combination of a target configuration (like the Classic 1077) with the convenience of CO2 charging, rather than pumping. That's why I got it.

I prefer right-handed bolt but adjusting was quick and easy - don't let that be a deterrent.

Out of the box I immediately tried out 4 pellets - Daisy flat-tops, Crosman hollow-points, Crosman heavy domers (10.5), and Crosman Hunter pointers. Distance 30 feet; 8 targets x 6 rds = 48 rds per CO2 cylinder.
All 8 groups for each ammo type held consistent through all 48 shots except the pointers, which began spreading out on its 7th target. For the rest, I'm guessing there were another 5-10 shots left in the CO2 cylinders that i didn't take.
Accuracy was a bit disappointing compared to my Classic 1077 and Crosman Triple Threat revolver using the same ammo at same distance.
But this was just break-in time out of the box, and the results are encouraging, especially knowing I'll find better ammo out there in time.
The best performer was the Daisy wadcutters with the Crosman hollow-points at a close second - both inexpensive and readily available. Both of these made 3/4-to-1 inch groups every time,

For the money you can't beat it. Once again pyramyd air is the best to deal with.

I optional mag is a bit to deal with,they could make it a little more user friendly.

For a co2 pistol it shoots straight hits hard and holds air very well. I absolutely love it for under a hundred bucks you can't go wrong.Besides the gun once again this is the fourth airgun I bought from this wonderful company and I am 100% satisfied. They are very professional,polite and know thier business like a great American owned and run company we expect should. Sgt Jimj US army ranger, THANK A VET

Like everything about the Chaser. I have the 22 and the 177 I bought in the kit. Both are good shooters with the moderator on the rifle is very quit. Loading the magazine was simple and have not had a jam with either of them. In many ways it is like the Crossman 2240, 2300 etc. You can find accessories to modify it on the net. All in all, it is a really fun and accurate pistol and rifle. This should be part of every ones collection.

Perhaps have seal kits available. I can get them from England, but it would be nice to have them in country.

Be sure to give the barrels a good cleaning before firing. Mine were really dirty. I have read complaints on the handle for the bolt breaking off. I ordered extra bolts and handles from Pyramyd just in case. When I cock it, I keep my finger close to the bolt then put my thumb on the back of the bolt to load it. It takes no more time then normal and why take a chance.

Very good quality and workmanship.. I purchased in . 22 Cal.. much more power than I expected..

Accuracy.. I can only give 4 stars.. the sights could be a lot better for no money..

Don't waste money on the silencer that comes in the kit if you buy the pistol version.. it doesn't do anything.. and if you buy the kit the silencer does unscrew

Love this pistol. Very accurate. Love the case..

I should have purchased the Kit. I kicking myself for not.

The Diana Chaser is a really great pistol & very accurate. I was able to hit tin cans at 40 yards. Impressive.

Nothing.

I had difficulty putting in the magazine in the pistol. I did remove the single shot tray but it was still difficult to get the magazine in. Maybe it was just me. I don't know. Anyone else have trouble getting the magazine properly seated?

The ease of loading CO2s and pellets. Accuracy.

The grip is awkward for me. Seems to turn and not fit quite precisely.

Easy to load and shoot.

Right hand load and cock lever.

So I purchased this pistol via amazon, or possibly pyramid directly I can't recall. At any rate I reviewed the gun at the time as being accurate, powerful and an excellent value. Now unfortunately I have to change my tune. The power has dropped way off regardless of the co2 cart I use. My Chrono tops it off at like 320fps with the lightest alloy pellets I have, some Gamos that were part of a sampler pack. I could practically run faster than it throws lead now.. and I've only had it like 2 months. Will look into warranty but RMA is always such a pain.

Well for starters fix whatever QC issue caused my gun to last 2 months. Might not be a very expensive gun, but neither are my crosmans and theyre still among the worlds most powerful co2 guns based on Chrono numbers years after I bought them, and thousands of pellets of all types run through them. Diana was synonymous with quality. I should have avoided any of their products not made in Germany.

This gun is of good overall build qaulity and works well when it works, but it is made in China. Diana is a German company, I can only assume they outsourced to gain new market share and were happy with the quality from the factory selected. Mine may just be a one-off, but I always review both positive and negative experiences with any vendor I deal with.

Nice handling pistol, trigger pull is smooth , great accurate sights, the only complaint is the safety on the trigger it seems to hang up at times, pushing from on to off , having to physically look to make it off . Other than that love the pistol.

The safety nothing else

Pushing the safety from on position to off, it pushes too far and locks trigger on off side.

Having originally purchased the Diana Chaser Combo to eradicate under home rodents, little did I know it would be a lifesaver keeping me busy during the Covin-19 Pandemic. Unfortunately it had to be sent in to pyramid Air to have some seals replaced, which prompted me to purchase a second pistol to keep busy thanks to the low cost. As a retired Marine who uses breath and trigger controls, 10 meter groups are usually the size of a dime to quarter thanks to the use of an inexpensive Pinty scope. With this scope being the one used on the rifle, I am purchasing a more powerful UTG scope for rifle use when it returns. More splatter targets, CO2 cartridges, and other accessories are on order.

The only drawback is that scope use with the rifle stock, puts the stock butt plate in an uncomfortable position.

Maximum CO2 use permits up to 50 shots, but after 40-45, the groups are no longer as accurate which is fine.

Trigger is much better then I expected Overall quality Accuracy

Make the rifle silencer available on the pistol, quit loud for subsonic, similar to a 22LR

Consider getting the rifle combo for $40-$50 more, love the pistol but I like it so much I now want the rifle

Feels good in my hand. Accurate. Fairly light.

None so far

Very nice Air Pistol! I have only shot one CO2 cartridge thru it and it function very well. Like the way it looks and the quality seems excellent. For accuracy, I hit everything I aimed at, and never had to adjust the sights! About the grip, I don't have any issue with it. Just a slight modification in holding it and it rested right there in the palm of my hand.

It would be nice if the suppresser that is on the rifle barrel was available separately so it could be screwed onto the pistol barrel. Hence the four star rating.

Great pistol for the money.

The look ,the feel the way it shoots

I would put rails for a scope

81 year old, been pellet shooting for many years, always .177, wanted a change bought this in .22, have garage range, LOVE this pistol, accurate out of the box

Also bought 7 shot mag, NOT A BIG FAN, had to remove barrel to unjam, need more practice in loading.

PA is great company, good customer service, ordered Diana Airbug in 177 WAITING VERY PATIENTLY for delivery

powerful and accurate

wish Diana made a conversion kit from pistol to rifle

Co2 leaks down overnight

Nice pistol. Accurate, relatively quiet,especially with a moderator! Just wish the grip was different.

First I would change the back of the grip. I have large hands and I have to adjust my grip to get comfortable. Also include a barrel band.

I'm getting dime-sized groups at ten yards with Crosman Premier Hollowpoints.
