Price Build and its fun

Power

A challenge and I like em. This gun lobs the pellet but it lobs it pretty straight. With a 8 gr pellet it chronys 250--270 FPS with a raptor 5 gr I got high 322 low 305.It will shoot high with the rear sight bottomed out but once I got use to it I can compensate and tap a can at 60 ft 3 outta 5 times thats the challenge and its fun.With a red dot you can zero the pistol for the money its a ***** in my opinion..

i would have to say i did not think the pistol was going to be this nice. for the price you could not ask for more ,it felt good ,looked good and shoot well ,i would tell anyone if you are thinking of giting one then git it it well wourth it

the wood handl could have ben sanded more it was a little ruff ,that is all i could say i liked thes pistol alot

cant say much elss i was inpressed

The wood and metal feel, the finish on the wood. No crappy plastic parts like daisy and crosman have. Good power and range.

The sights are a joke, they are always wobbly, and even when you tighten the screw it comes loose in a matter of minutes, so you can never line up your shot because the rear sight is always moving. Besides that, the sights are giant, comes up over 1/2 inch, and the front is so thin compared to the rear that I don't know where the hell I am aiming. The gun is accurate if you take the necessary 5 minutes to line up the sights.

I wanted a cheap pellet pistol to go along with my rifles, I had this and returned it and got the Daisy poweline 201. Shoots better, faster, more accurate, and has railings for optics.

No expensive CO2,Shoot a couple without the problem of useing up CO2,Its a springer, Best you will find and I dare say only you will find in the 350 fps range for $19.00 .Very well balanced and made.A challenge to master.Uses cheap pellets.Loves the Daisy Wadcutter pellets.Comes in a box,wish they all did and last but not least You can shoot it in cold weather,

rear sights

just look at the above likes and dislikes

Well worth the money,great for plinking cans.nicer looking in the hand than pictured, mine didnt have any Barrel droop as pictured

More fps...

NOT a target gun, best I could chrony was 322FPS with RWS Basic or Hobbies. Gets around 270 fps with a CPHP.Shoots a little high even bottomed out on the rear sight.accuracy of a BB pistol but good for winter and no CO2 cost being a springer..

I like the price. I like the single pump. I like the fps. It is rugged. It is easy to load. I think it is an excellent piece for the price.

The sight adjustment is a little crude. I think maybe some sort click adjustment would make this piece perfect.

metal and wood, accurate.

trigger pull too stiff.

clean the barrel before you shoot

It's great for the amount of money spent...that being said, you'll find that the pellets hit tagets by TUMBLING as opposed to hitting nose first. You are getting essentially what you pay for here.

I would make the pistol have a stronger spring to possibly help with the pellet delivery.

If you simply want something for plinking at a very inexpensive cost, this is it. If you think you need to have something fancy...keep looking because you are getting what you paid for.

The first thing you have to do with these is clean the goo out of the barrel. Once done they are a lot of fun to shoot and have the best trigger if the $20 grade pistols They are consistent and do have a better set of sights. I will eventually put a pistol scope on it and see if the accuracy translates into longer range shots. I thought the barrel seal was superior to the SP-2 and have even dug the seal out and replaced it with an "O" ring. But the S2-1 still shot harder.

I would like to see a bit more power. I found some of the pellets would "keyhole" into the targets even at short 25' ranges. The sights improve if you put some day glow on the front.

Watch that mouse trap. That barrel really jumps on you if you let it.

Great Value for the money!

This is the first Air Pistol I have purchased by Tech Force. It has great weight and balance and unusual accuracy - especially for such a fabulous price.

Things could be made better, but not for this price

This break-barrel is great for back-yard plinking. I really love it.

The gun has a nice weight to it, with solid lock-up. Cocking effort is reasonable and any adult should be able to handle it. No plastic, all metal and wood construction.

#1 The power is substandard. The box says 400 FPS but they are doing half of that. With a tight fitting pellet, or a wadcutter, the S2-1 does not have enough power to break cardboard at 7 yards. Using loose fitting Crosman Pointed pellets it penetrates one layer of cardboard barely. The instructions say that 6m is the recommended distance, that is because it can't reach much further. #2 The sights - There are no arrow indicators, nor adjustment markings anywhere on the gun, or mention of them in the instructions. The rear sight came bottomed out against the air tube, and still needs to go down another 300% to have an accurate picture at 7 yards. Holding 4" low at 21 feet will get them close to the target. (#3) If this pistol cost more that $20, I would go into the brick like trigger, but not at this price point. I don't expect match quality at this level. #4 There is no way to put the pictol on "safe".

Since this is a $20 purchase, my hopes were not high at all when I ordered it. Even my low expectations were met. If you are a home tinkerer, or airgunsmith, this gun would be good to breakdown and work on with low risk of damaging something expensive. Plinking lily pads is about the toughest job I would assign this pistol as it is out of the box. No way would I get one again.

Good learners gun.

Better sights.

the price, break barrel, and the gun

nothing

they should know nothing......

Of course the price. I bought this several years ago and don't remember the cost then. You do get what you pay for. Trigger pull and let off were good. Adjustable sights a +.

The first thing I did was remove that ugly paint from the furniture and stained with a mahogany and a few topcoats of poly. It's still ugly, but not as before. I would like to see the pistol grip extended about a 1/2 inch as it is a little uncomfortable for my large hand.

The little old lady would have trouble cocking this gun, but for the rest of us this doesn't pose a problem unless you have weak arms. One other problem I noticed that if you have large hands, the front sight blade will dig into your cocking hand. Accuracy is up to the owner. I'm in my late 60s and am unable to put 6 shots into a 4 inch circle at 20 feet. My problem, I'm sure.

Solid chunk of wood and steel for a small price. It is a great value for someone who likes to modify and fine tune things. It works well as it is.

At this price, it is perfect.

Buy several while the price is good.

For the money you can't really go wrong.

Action is a little rough and the contact points were not filed down as much as they could me.

Made in China and arrives and says "Westlake Air Pistol" on the box.

Price.

They are worth the money. They shoot hard enough for basement target use. They need to be lubricated when you purchase them. They are easily dissambled to lubricate.

Seal is very poor. Trigger guard is in a position to cut your finger.

Although it would work out of the box I will not shoot it until I have disasembled and detailed it, replaced the seal and modified the grip. I enjoy this sort of thing.

Solid construction with good weight.

Heavy cocking weight and stiff trigger. No sight rails.
