Cheap-er

The front sights ended to be crooked, wasn't as strong as they say. Sounds n feels like week when shot.

Get the Crossman 22. Pump version

Size, bolt action and weight.

Make the pump handle with a rubber handle.

Yes, you will enjoy shooting it for hours.

Overall appearance

Front and rear sights Trigger guard is to small for a regular size fingers The trigger pull is long creepy and terrible

Remove hood from front sight Use only a simple blade site

For ME, weight and balance are just fine especially shooting offhand with both hands... Quiet, 4" groups off a rest at 30 yards which I believe can be improved. I will say this... shot to shot consistency was no more than 5 fps between pumps at 6 - 8 pumps. Don't often take it to 10 pumps since 6 pumps works out to 30 yards in fair manner. 10 pumps averages around 500 fps with my strikepoint.

Sights are a pain, the trigger guard is nonsensical for big hands, necessary to shoot this comfortably.

Good feel and nice weight. Sights are good and clear. Very modern looking. this pistol shoots strong.

add some type of mounting rail for optics.

No rails of any type for mounting scopes or other optics. The pistol takes some power to pump, not a kids gun.

Accuracy is pretty good.

The sites is a little to big and you can't see out of it. But other then that it's a pretty cool gun.

This is an excellent gun and it arrived quickly and was well packaged. Upon opening I was impressed with the build quality and heft of this pistol. The bolt action is smooth and activates with a nice click. The pump on the .22 seems solid and activates smoothly. This Umarex pistol is very quiet and the report is less than the ping upon impact with a steel can. Velocity is adequate and shooting hollowpoint pellets puts a nice dent in a can from 30' away. I noticed a bit of sway with a 2 handed grip but that was due to my shaky hands. I realized if I extended the pump arm down I could use it as a handle which helps center on a target at further distances. I would recommend this gun to a friend.

Open fixed sights are very useable but would like to see an option to add a scope mount for more precise shots.

Initially I thought there would be a problem with the weight distribution, being as long as it is, but that is false. This gun is very well balanced and extremely accurate. After lubricating the recommended parts it pumps very smoothly.

Can't think of a thing

You do have to cock the bolt to pump pressure either for shooting or storing the gun

Convenient shopping and good value for the money.

This is a superb piece of hardware. I found that best accuracy is at 5 pumps. Sufficent for most usage. Well made. Sturdy. Best results are when you read the instructions before doing anything.

Be sure you have enough cardboard and med density styro to stop this one. It will penetrate flesh.

For the money, these are a pretty fair pistol to start with. After a few modifications, they are great. Super quiet, easy to pump for the charge. Looks good. Feels substantial. Has enough weight to hold steady easily. Cool safety features. Where you have to cock it to charge it. Letting you know nothings in the chamber. Simple cross bolt safety.

The front sight cover is too thick and heavy looking. Difficult for quick target acquisition, especially in low light situations. And the rear notch sucks and does not match the front sight. I cut off the rounded part of the sight hood. So it looks like a military rifle front sight. Then V notched the rear sight. Works great now. Also you should clean the bore first thing out of the box. Then shoot some cheap pellets through it to wear in the barrel a bit. It takes somewhere near 200 shots before the groups tighten up. As well as the trigger pull smoothing out some. But once you do this. It starts to become a fun shooter.

Accurate out of the box

Sights, nose heavy

This is a very good backpack 22 , it will take small game its easy to pump up, good for your survival kit, quiet

It hits hard at 15 yards - .177 with Crossman competition lead pellets and using just 4 pumps in an indoor range. Will amend this if necessary when I get outdoors and try it at 25 and beyond but given that you can crank another 6 pumps in this there is no question it has enough power. It is pretty quiet as well. However...

This thing is a bit unwieldy to fire - the balance is decent but it is heavy and not the easiest thing to pump either. It is better with a rest but that is not what pistols are made for. A butt stock to put this into carbine mode would be useful I suppose. But that leads to the bigger problem. The sights on this thing are not good. The front peg is ok for centering but is too fat to really zero in and the rear blade is even worse. Unfortunately there are no rails either so unless you want to spend a lot of time working on this don't count on it for target shooting.

It's pretty darn powerful and if you get used to it as a point and shoot and you have a very steady hand it's not bad for the price. Feels solidly made. Just be aware that it requires some patience to zero in - out of the package this thing was a disappointment - over time I am finding it's better qualities.

The power is great.

Sights are absolutely useless. Modified them to even make it useable.

If I had it all to do over again I would not buy this gun. The power is great the consistency of pellet grouping is fine. The sights are absolutely useless. I was able to file the front sights down. And take a Dremel and I cut off wheel and modify the rear sights. That made it almost useable. Don't waste your time or money. I was comparing the Crosman 1322 and Umarex Strike Point. I couldn't make up my mind so I purchased both. Do yourself a favor and avoide the Umarex Strike Point. If you do need/want a pistol get the Crosman 1322. The accuracy is amazing. And the stock sights are very useable without mods.

It's definitely a hard hitter at 10-15 metres. Accurate for the same distance. Not fussy about pellet type, weight of course, DOES matter.

The sights are not the best rear tab is to flimsy, and front sight peg to large loop too small. I will file down front center peg with small files. Should help for being able to see targets better.

Everyone should have a pump pistol if you got stray's/or Varmints that need to be changed off. Not powerful enough to kill unless smaller critters and inside 10 metres, and pumped up full! That's why a pump is preferred can chase 'em off without hurtin' 'em too much!

That it's a multi pump with a variable power for indoor or outdoor shooting

The sites

Mine was shooting very low and I had to bend the rear sight blade all the way up

Excellent price and product worked flawlessly.

Nothing possibly a free shipping

Accuracy is fantastic, velocity is awsome

The plastic frame and bolt lever it makes it look cheap

The power and accuracy are great
