EVERYTHING, it's like a updated 2240, the multi shot option is cool.

A bulk fill adapter option,and barrel

I have regular hands if you have a big wide hand this might be a issue,for the grips

I like everything about this pistol with the exception of the swept back grip and noise. It is accurate, well built, and easy to load. The trigger is okay but could be a tad lighter. The large bolt handle with 3 rubber strips makes it easy to grip to cock the action. The loading tray is large enough to load pellets without them turning sideways or backwards. The tool supplied to tighten the CO2 chamber cap is a nice touch

I would change 2 things. Loose the swept back grip to something more conventional and add a noise suppressor.

I bought the 22 caliber version. I didn't shoot any paper groups but I hit everything I aimed at no problem out to 20 yards. It's fairly noisy so I added a small suppressor to mine which really made a difference. It's very quiet now. Muzzle velocity is decent with the Hobby 11.9 averaging 440fps, H&N Sport 13.7 @ 420fps, Crosman Premier 14.3 @ 412fps, and just for the heck of it, JSB 18.1 @370fps.
This is a lot of gun for the price.

Great pistol...a good shooter and an excellent back yard target pistol for the PRICE! I like it almost as much as my Classic Crosman..

Magazine included in the purchase, no problem in raising the price another $20. bucks - it would be worth it.

If I had to do it again - I would have purchased the KIT (rifle) and not just the pistol.

For the price its a nice co2 pistol. Shot count was good and I believe it was the stated 50 shots per fill (I did not count). Handle feels of quality and is not cheep and flimsy. The co2 spare pocket in the grip is nice. Overall it feels well built.

My only major issue is the trigger. It has little to no real adjustments. First stage is not light at all and the second stage has a lot of rough feeling creep. The bolt itself is fairly smooth however the hammer is a bit rough when pulling the bolt back.

I would like to clear things up a bit. I did not buy this for myself but picked it up for a friend. I myself have a Kalibrgun Ocelot PcP pistol so trying to compare this to that would be pointless so I kept this review open minded.
I feed it several different pellets to find what worked best in it (may vary with some others). This thing loves RWS pellets. I tried the pointed, domed, and hollow points. It shoot all of them extremely well. I was actually supprised at how well it shot them. Dime sized groups at a respectable range from a non rested position. Next that shot well was the crossman hollow points. Not as well as the rws pellets but still I was impressed. Surprisingly the JSB and H&N pellets were not so great nor were the pollymags. This will be used for close range small pesting between 10-20 yards maybe 25. This review was for the .22 version.

Got an overall nice feel to it. Got it as part of a gift package for a new air gun user.

Nothing against this gun in particular. I just wish air pistols could be more powerful in a smaller package. Most air pistols require two handed use.

nice accurate

release valve metal on metal should be changed with "O" ring

right from the box valve is leaking to the barrel chamber the seat is metal on metal, CO2 cartridge last only 20 shots if you lucky for target only if you hunting you will find out that you don't have air even you just put new in

Great price. Super. Accurate, feels good in hand

Loading magazine in pistol is a little trying at times. koo

Nice pistol, easily sighted for accurate shooting

A little loud

This gun balances well in the hand. The sights were easy to adjust and I was able to dial it right in.

I would actually like to see the gun be a little shorter. The grip frame is a little too smooth, but you can easily texture it with a wood burning tool.

This gun packs a nice punch in .22. Lots of fun and real accurate.

The build quality is good for the price.

The grip did not fit my large hand; very uncomfortable

Good balance and feel

Put a better barrel on it and charge more.

Nice little gun, but with terrible accuracy. I put a 10X scope on it and bench rest tested at 10 yards indoors. I tried 14 different pellets of various shapes and weights. All shot groups in excess of one inch and some in excess of two inches. Most of the pellets chambered extremely hard. The trigger broke at 34 ounces with some creep. I guess for its price, one should not expect too much, but I would gladly pay more for some accuracy.

good balance, light, feels snug in medium sized hand, bolt on the left so you don't have to release your hold, iron sights adjust nicely at rear, pellet tray loads single shots easily, magazine fits nice and works well.mount a pistol scope on the dovetail with medium risers and this .22 caliber pistol is fun to shoot and accurate right out of the box . good value for the price.

the safety is in the wrong place and takes to much effort . the trigger adjustment only serves to take up the dead space and not release pressure. just as well because with that safety switch you certainly don't want a hair trigger. The bolt for removing the grip cap has an annoying rattle and should traded out for something that doesn't stick out or rattle. Its' 6 mm thread and you can change it yourself like I did. That's no big deal.

Be careful with that safety !

Given the cost, very accurate. Was getting good groupings. It uses little Co2. I was at 65 shots when the cow cylinder died. Loading the Co2 is simple.

The breech is a tad sticky, but I was using cheap pellets. Am told RWS elite work well. My biggest complaint is the handle. It is NOT made for large hands. It is small, and I had a hard time keeping the trigger centered on my fingertip.

For $79 dollars, really fun gun!

Well made, easy to use, comes in a padded case, good price for what you get.

I might go with a .177 caliber for more shots - .22 seems to drop after about 30 shots - accuracy decreases quickly.

Great backyard plinking gun, easy to use and fun for the family.

The overall build quality of the gun is excellent. The metal work and the fit and finish on the parts is well above that of most pistols in the price range. There was a lot of attention to detail and thought that went into the design of the pistol, such as the CO2 unjamming port and integrated tightening tool. The gun is respectably accurate so far in my initial tests. The gun also shipped with a nylon carry case and Styrofoam cut outs for the pistol.

The front sight is a little bit thick for my preferences. The trigger is acceptable out of the box but could be slightly better.

The magazine does obstruct view of the open sights slightly. The barrel is held in with loctite.

This is a very good pistol right out of the box. I liked the sights, how they adjusted and it seemed to shoot very well. I haven't done any extensive shooting yet, but I am very satisfied so far. I like the extra CO2 storage in the hand grip a lot.

I am hoping I can get a different grip cap. It is removable to store an extra CO2 in the hand grip. The hand grip is an odd shape with a protrusion to the rear, which can be seen in these photos. This protrusion prevents me from obtaining an optimal grip, I have to modify my grip to align the sights and it is mildly annoying. I think I will either shave off that portion if possible or see if they make a different grip cap, I would love to have a "1911" grip profile on this pistol.

Can't go wrong for the money, I'd buy it again or recommend to my brother, even with the wacky grip protrusion.

Shoots perfect with excellent velocity.

Nothing.

Real nice looking plinker

This is the first CO2 airgun I have ever owned. I own several springers. Bought this one in .22 cal. for dispatching squirrels and chipmunks. It is fairly powerful at close range (10 to 15 yards) and fairly accurate. Can put several shots in a 1 inch bull at that distance. I installed first CO2 cartridge when received and shot maybe 25 shots then I sat for 2 1/2 weeks. After that amount of time it still had plenty of air left for next shot. Apparently does not leak .

Rear sight has to be adjusted way left on mine to line up correctly to barrel. Would love to see aftermarket sight or better yet, improve factory sight. I also would like the option to buy separate rifle barrel and stock that you get when ordering carbine kit. Currently it is the only way to get this option is to buy package as of the review. Grip is a little weird for me , long and flat, like holding a box of Junior Mints and pointing. Small hands could have a issue.

If planning to mount a scope and use the magazine instead of single loading, you will need to use high rings to get clearance.

Haven't had this gun long enough to really put it thru the paces (2 weeks). Seems to be plenty accurate using open sights. Shoots plenty hard enough. Seems to be well built. Fits well in my hand.

Magazine seems a little frail.

A lot of gun for the money. I'm looing forward to getting to know this gun a little better. I have several pellet and BB handguns and like this gun because of the 9 shots.

it use rotary magazine and good trigger from the factory. It also shoot well with the crosman 22 premier dome pellet which is my favorite ammo

it's so loud. I wish I could buy a silence for the chaser
