Accurate for what this pistol costs. Powerful and nice to shoot. Overall a really nice gun for the money.

Cocking is really hard. I don't have a big problem, but someone that is not strong could have.

this is my second purchase from pyramid air, and I must say I am totally satisfied with this gun. it will hit anything I aim at.the gun is well made and good looking and is plenty powerfull.

just a suggestion...offer a rifle stock as a quick change fit up so it can be used as a carbine.PS I made my own to improve this fine shooter.

good solid gun, good price, very accurate.

Power is impressive but it is truly useless w/o scope ability.

Weaver or pic rails instead of useless dovetail. Sights move along rail when firing gun. So far, with five sights/adapters, tried out using my wasted purchases and their equipment all of which work on their various pistols. These include Leapers one piece Accushot, Sportsmatch Extra High, Bklone piece and two different red dot's.

I have tried 5 dovetail scopes from Red Dot to Edge Pistol Scope and a weaver adapter too and NOTHING sits still on this gun. Every single one of these sights or adapters have crept down the barrel. Some after every single shot, no matter how tight, no matter if I used loctite. Nothing. I really like this gun and w/o a sight to shoot at further targets I feel I'm not getting the use of the full power this gun has. In fact I feel like I've been tricked. Why put a dovetail on at all if nothing works? More honest to advertise that it is non-scopeable as this is truly the case. I'd like to mention that three of the sight choices were "guaranteed" by a pyramid expert to "not creep at all". Offset dovetail adapter - et al. Anybody have better luck? I want to LOVE this gun but w/o sights I just am moderately impressed by the power (which can't be actually used to full potential)

felt heavy but strong, the sights were very good, the power was very powerful for a pistol, the trigger was good, accuracy was another story

the one I got had a defective breech crown, it was not correctly machined at the factory, I used a 20x stereo scope to be sure, the pellets did not go in all the way and sat crooked, the work around was to push the pellets in further and that worked giving acceptable groups on target, but I chose to return it and get the webley alecto

this could have been a fun pistol, the specs and actual product should have been great, I made a 16 inch barrel extender out of 1 inch copper L tubing and heater core hose to help with cocking, if you got a good one its probably great, but the one I got was unacceptable, check the breech crown

* Quality - it's built very well. This is my second Hatsan and I'm very impressed with the quality of their products. * Price - seems very reasonable for what you get. * Sights - I like the TruGlo fiber optic sights they include with the pistol. * Grip - the pistol fits my hand well, and considering the size and weight of the pistol, it's very well balanced.

About the only thing I would change is that I would like a nitro piston option like I have on my Hatsan 125 Sniper.

I bought this in .22cal, my second .22 Hatsan (125 Sniper was my first). It's a huge pistol, though not so big that I can't hold it and shoot it with one hand. The cocking effort is much stronger than my 125 Sniper, but considering the additional barrel length on the rifle, that's not surprising. I don't know if it's the same for everyone else, but this pistol is loud - much louder than my 125 Sniper and is also louder than my Crosman 1322. Where I live, I can only get away with shooting a pellet gun if it doesn't sound like a .22 rimfire - this was getting close to that level of volume. My 125 Sniper is considerably quieter. I was hoping I could shoot this at home, but due to that sound, I may have to keep it for other places, including my local indoor range, which does allow pellet guns. Overall though, this is a fantastic pistol. The size seems a bit daunting, but it's very well balanced, so holding it seems less a chore than you might think. Accuracy so far seems to be right on, but knowing I have those adjustable TruGlo sights is a big bonus. I think it's a great pistol and a worth addition to any collection.

I had never heard of Hatsan until I purchased the 125 sniper which I found to be one of the best air rifles I have ever owned and the same is true with the Supercharger 25 pistol. The quality, accuracy of this pistol is hard to believe for the cost. It fits your hand perfectly, well balanced for such large pistol! I think it compares the RWS pistol for over 100+ more!@! The cocking aid is actually attaches to the barrel and is made out of aluminum NOT PLASTIC, so it is part of the pistol which makes it even cooler looking!! I would highly recommend this pistol!

Nothing

Powerful and accurate, even without a scope. I like this air pistol

You'll get a workout cocking this gun repeatedly, but that's also why it's powerful.

Well balanced, solid construction and definitely built to last. Great high visibility sights and fully adjustable. Adjustable trigger. Very Powerful and the cocking aid is a must.

Nothing really. This is a very well put together pistol.

I am new to today's airguns as the last ones I have shot were as a teenager which were the Daisy and Crosman 766. This is a springer pistol so it will take patience and proper form with a very consistent trigger pull. Once mastered, it's a really accurate and fun pistol. Just don't expect to be dead on accurate with it as quick as a pcp pistol. It was a challenge to get comfortable shooting this pistol, but it was worth it!

this a great air gun. the more I shoot it the more I like it. this gun at 30 yards put a round in the center. I have shoot so rim fire pistol that cant do this. great gun. I shooting crosman premier hollow points

no

a little hard to cock. not for children.

pretty much everything about this pistol. its very well made.

if anything it would be to make the pistol grips so that either a right or left handed person could use it.

BUY IT!

Lots of things to like about this gun. I really like the feel, weight, trigger, sights, anti-recoil, accuracy and power. This thing hits hard and straight.

I would put a weaver rail instead of dovetails on this. I tried a red-dot but it wouldn't stay. Fortunately, the open sights are good. Cocking is a little tough but not unbearable.

Out of the box this gun seemed very "crunchy" and rough. I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it. After a good break in, I really love this gun. It fires smooth and is a pleasure to shoot. My amateur chrony testing gave the following results (10 shots): JSB 8.44 avg 651.6 fps and the most accurate. Crosman Destroyer 7.9 699.0 fps and quite accurate. Just for fun Daisy Lead Free 5.0 913.7 fps and not as accurate but still not bad at 10m. I've tried a number of different pellets and the accuracy is still pretty solid.

I got this gun (my first "adult" airgun) because of the problems finding .22rf shells, with the intention of using it for small bore pistol league this winter. I was pleasantly surprised at how accurate it shoots at 50ft. The weight and balance are great. I will probably stick with this gun even if .22rf shells are more available this year.

I would like to see a weaver or picatinny rail. The owners manual doesn't cover cleaning and maint. very well.

If you're new to serious airguns don't get discouraged with the gun before you try a few different pellets. Cheap pellets are great for killing soda cans, but will not bring out the true potential of the gun.

This gun is heavy, and feels good in your hand. You can tell right away, just by holding it, that it's not a toy. It is built solid, and delivers a powerful punch. I have the gun in .22 caliber; using Benjamin Discoveries (14.3 grain) the gun shoots a solid 500 fps / 8 FPE. (The box claims 600 fps, but that's probably with 11 grain pellets. I'd rather shoot the heavier 14's, because in the end, weight matters more than velocity when you're talking about the amount of energy delivered to the target.) This gun is dead-on accurate under 30 meters, and even at longer ranges, it's still not bad. Out of 8 shots at a 4" wide metal post at a range of 100 yards, I hit the post 3 times, and I believe that I could have done better if it had not been at dusk when the sun was setting / light was fading.

I only wish that Hatsan (or some other manufacturer) would make a hard pistol case big (wide) enough to store the gun in, WITH the cocking extender attached. That would make me a very happy camper.

Everyone says this pistol is hard to cock; I haven't had this problem. It is very stiff, and requires a modicum of effort, but any average-strength adult male should have no problem. Remember, you're compressing a pistol-sized spring that is powerful enough to fling a 14.3 grain pellet at 500 fps! You're not cocking a Red Ryder! Plus, once your arm gets used to the amount of force that cocking requires, your muscles (ever heard of muscle memory?) anticipate the need for that force, and cocking becomes almost effortless. After you've shot about 100 or so pellets, you won't even notice the cocking effort. Also, I shoot about 500 pellets per range session, and my arm has never gotten tired. I am not a body builder, I have only average strength; but I can cock and fire this thing pretty fast, with no fatigue.

Accurate and fun to shoot. Well built but could use a better scope mount.

Weaver/Picatinny rail mount would be perfect for this gun. Add instructions on how to disassemble gun for oiling the spring.

I gave this gun 5 stars even though the scope mount needs improved but works okay. I did buy the package deal from Pyramyd Air on this gun and happy with everything but the scope has a small issue for this gun. The scope can be mounted to either 3/8" or 5/8" rail by adjusting two brackets that connect the scope to the gun and you definitely want to push the scope back towards the end of the gun mount and use theadlocker blue (medium) to secure the scope. Due to the gun recoil and the scope design, it will come loose and I ended putting two holes in my shop wall before I noticed what happened. A real fun and accurate gun to shoot.

the trigger is nice not overly heavy strait out the box. this pistol in .22 hits with authority. the balance is surprisingly nice. once dialed in I can hold a 2" group at 45'with a very cheap red dot.

they should have used a better system for mounting optic's. such as factory weaver or picatinny rail. or holes for scope stop pins.

its somewhat difficult to cock. after 50 shots ur gonna feal it. as you should for something this small that generates this much power. the recoil reduction system? hmm im not sure how well it works. because this thing kicks harder than most .22WMR pistols. medium sized birds don't stand a chance at ten yards.

--Great power has yielded a pretty flat trajectory over the 25 yards I can utilize --High quality Truglow sites are highly adjustable and it's very easy to dial-in this pistol to impressive levels of accuracy. --I'm a 5'10" 160 lb male in average shape and I don't get the complaints about the cocking force. I've put almost 1000 pellets through this gun in one week and I've never felt fatigued by long sessions. Maybe it's not for airgun neophytes, those off a smallish stature, or just flat-out Nancies, but I just don't get the complaints about cocking this gun. --Quite enough to shoot in my fairly populated, dense intown community. Don't underestimate the need for a robust backstop and complementary topography, though, because this pistol packs a punch

--Build quality and tightness of construction feels shabby. That is almost offset by the velocity and accuracy once you acclimate to the feel of the ergonomics, though. --Very heavy; could stand to lose some weight --Trigger is somewhat clunky and the range of functional adjustment is deceptively small. Perhaps this should be expected from a pistol so extraordinary in other ways that has managed to edge its way into this pricepoint.

This is one well built pistol. Good quality materials and has a great feeling in hand. Sights are excellent and very accurate out of box. I have't used it on a varmint yet but will post that afterwards. Fired it at 1/8 in plywood and went thru easily. Completely buried the pellet in a 2 buy 10 hardwood. Quite heavy for a pistol and takes a little effort to cock but manageable. Pyramid was quick shipping and as described.

Overall size is only disadvantage. 20 inches with cocker assistance attached.

Not a toy for sure. Looking forward to a lot of shooting with this and going to get a hand carry soft case from Pyramid for it.

What a pistol. This thing is accurate, and not too much effort to cock it. I also put a red dot scope on it, took about 25 shots in all to get good feel for grouping shots. Last five shots fit inside a nickel. Cannot complain at all.

Reduced weight of the pistol would allow more to enjoy this pistol.

This thing packs a wallop, be aware of surroundings when shooting!

A really good value for the money. I was impressed by the workmanship on my .22, no obvious blemishes or misfitting parts. I had switched my order from .177 to .22 because of backorder, but I'm glad I did. The .22 is nice and formidable caliber. The rubberized grip makes a big difference too. It's a heavy pistol with heavy trigger weight but a lot of fun to shoot. The accuracy and power blows me away! Kudos to Hatsan for including the long barrel extension to help in cocking because I really need it. It shows they're thinking about the customer.

I'd prefer all black sights but I'm sure over time I can adjust to the TruGlo version that comes on the pistol.

The trigger out of the box. The weight. The accuracy

I added the Crossman stock, offset scope mount and a bug buster scope. Also added a sks cheek riser to get a nice weld. But really, the gun is great stock.

This gun in the carbine I created is very accurate at the limits of my yard...approx. 45 yards. Its very light and loves the 11 grain .22 hobbies. I use this gun as much as possible and intend to take it on vacations as its very compact and easy to transport. Also, its not hard to cock at all. Hold the barrel extension in your left hand and the grip in your right. Brace your left hand against your left inner thigh. Press down with your right hand and in with you left thigh. Almost no effort. My 10 year old can do it easily.
