    Things I liked:

    Pistol has "micro adjustable" sights. Also like the option of being able to switch between single shot and 9 round mag. The bolt being on the left is more convenient to work in multi shot mode. Has enough power to send small target objects flying. Lots of fun.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing comes to mind.

    What others should know:

    Windage adjustment is made by backing off one screw and tightening the opposing screw. I tried to move the sight left by tightening the right screw. This caused the sight to move to the right?? The adjustments work. Just not the way you think.
    When loading a CO2 cartridge, I kept tightening it down a little at a time without success. Backed it off a little and re tightened (not as tight as the first attempt) and had success. Dry fired and got a tiny pop. Fired a second time (without tightening any more) and got full power. No leaks. CO2 loading like this works the same every time for me.

    So far, nothing.

    If you buy the Diana Chaser be sure to buy the optional magazine.

    Things I liked:

    price; basic design other than grip size and configuration; did not fire, as returned to vendor.

    Things I would have changed:

    grip is very small vertically, and does not fit my small-med man's hand; "spurs" at top and bottom rear of grip limit it's use even further; I cannot use this pistol as is and have returned to vendor; rotary clips are expensive and clumsy; loading clip on left of pistol and location of bolt on left side are a clumsy design; sights should have at least white dots; storage of spare co2 cartridge in grip is pointless

    Things I liked:

    This is a tabletop and shooting review of the Diana Chaser CO2 pistol. I purchased the gun from Pyramid Air and it arrived well packed and on time. I purchased the pistol alone, without the carbine shoulder stock, I wanted to see how accurate the pistol was before I purchased the multi-shot magazine and shoulder stock. The gun is made in China, not Germany. There are the letters HW followed by the series of numbers on the left side and this makes me think that the gun may have been a design by another famous German air gun maker of the same initials. The gun is made of steel and polymer. This is good industrial strength polymer like a Glock, the appearance and finish are pleasing. The sights are adjustable for windage and elevation and they are good sharp, easy to use sights. The grip is somewhat odd. There is a spur at the base of the grip that doesn’t seem to belong there, but it’s not uncomfortable and I would rate the grip as at least serviceable. The trigger is a single stage with a little bit of slack that breaks clean at one pound according to my gauge, but it feels heavier, more like five. The trigger guard is small. You won’t be shooting the gun while wearing gloves. There is a slot in the bottom of the trigger guard that appears to be a screwdriver slot for adjusting the trigger, however, there are no instructions telling you how to do that! The safety catch is a cross bolt on the trigger. There is a slot in the side of the gas cartridge chamber that allows you to see if there is a gas cartridge in the gun, that is useful because I have other CO2 guns and I can’t tell if there is a gas cartridge in them without dry firing the gun. No such problem with the Chaser. Loading a gas cartridge is simple until to try to pierce the cartridge, I can’t get enough purchase on the cap in order to pierce the gas cartridge. The enclosed instructions suggest unscrewing the swivel on the bottom of the grip, screwing the shaft of the swivel into the end cap and using the extra leverage to pop the gas cartridge. This works okay. To load a pellet, simply drop it into the loading tray and use the bolt to chamber the pellet. Sounds simple, but I’m using RWS Meisterkugeln pellets and they take quite a bit of effort to chamber. My gun is in caliber .22, because it easier for me to work with the larger pellets. Accuracy is good, in fact very good. Not good enough for a formal ten-meter match, but the gun will shoot into one hole (not single hole) at seven meters, which is all I have in my garage. I’m sure its accuracy used with a shoulder stock would be outstanding. The muzzle is threaded for a silencer (moderator?) and has a screw –on cap over the threads. The gun is furnished with a nylon carry bag and fitted foam insert, All in all, a pretty nice gun, plenty good enough for even some challenging informal target shooting. I don’t have a chronograph so I cant’ verify the MV figures, but it bangs pretty load, so I think it puts the pellets out there at a decent velocity. With the carbine stock, you would have a pretty neat little takedown gun in a carrying case to take to the field or a camp. Or you can simply use it as a stand-alone handgun. I consider the purchase to be good value. I would recommend this gun to a friend.

    Things I would have changed:

    Might change the grip. The spur on the bottom looks odd and it is.

    What others should know:

    Balance and ergonomics are good despite an odd appearance.
