Benjamin Marauder Air Pistol

very accurate 10-40 yards. perfect for pesky sparrows. with CPH 14.3's

allow this model to be regulated

Best accuracy is achieved between 1500 and 2500 fill, still plenty of shots 32 I believe

Got a great price, and free hand pump. The build quality is great, and accuracy is very good. I also like that this pistol package comes with the shoulder stock option. Through an optic if your choice, and it’s a real shooter. The are also so many aftermarket parts, and accessories to personalise you gun!

I would change to picatinny rail. It is really now the standard for most wanted optics. Also add a second magazine.

I liked everything about this pistol. Very light and very accurate. If you add a DonnyFl it is mouse fart quite.I have enjoyed shooting mine so far.

I wouldn’t change anything. But maybe offer it in some type of wood stock configuration later on. Just my humble opinion on that.

Buy one you won’t be disappointed.

the gun --- if it is not an used one!

better quality control. And NOT to ship an used/returned gun to the customer when they are purchasing a new gun!

The first time when I received the pistol, I found that the magazine insert gap is a little too narrow, the magazine could not be inserted. The customer service kindly offered for me to ship the pistol back, so that they can 'exchange' a pistol for my purchase. However, they just tried to REPIAR the gun and shipped it back to me. There are quite a few marks of repairs in the barrel and other places. Then I find that the trigger does not work as a new gun, because it sometimes could not fire even if I pressed the trigger to the bottom, or fire when I release the pressing on the trigger. This time, I lost confidence in this company, and did not ask for a return or refund. I will never buy from PyramydAir anymore, though.

Good shooter, easy to fill.

Additional magazine with the gun

I do not write many reviews because I don't trust them. Here is my review anyway ..This is EXACTLY what you should expect from a PCP at this price point. You can get 4-5 mags per full charge and all shots will be about equal. Is the first shot that is going in one side of the rat skull and out the other the same as the last, no, but the last will break through one side of a rodents skull just the same.

I also have the field and target Benjamin, it would be nice if they used the same mags. I would also add a rail to the bottom, I like a little extra support when you are taking a long shot and this is not quite a pistol, too long, but not a rifle, too short... If it were 50cal it would make one heck of a sawed off shotgun.

This is really the only downside to this ... side arm... I say it like that because the safety system is easily turned off accidentally. The safety is a little button by the trigger. one direction is safe and the other, with the red stripe is fire ready. If you are right handed and hold the gun in a relax position with the safety on and your index finger off the trigger and pointing down the barrel of the gun; the joint of your index finger is right at the safety switch position. If your left hand holds your right hand it is difficult to NOT TAKE THE SAFETY OFF. .. It's just plain too easy to take the safety off and not realize it. I know some firearms don't even have safety's but that's how this one works so be careful.

There are a ton of good reviews out there. This one is only about the ability to function as a pistol. It truly is intended as a carbine.

Most people are right handed. As such the cocking bolt is on the wrong side. It is not balanced for weight. Leaks badly (not pyramid airs fault).

You will want the shoulder stock. Its clear that this is intended as a carbine. Try using it like a pistol and you will understand quickly. For me if you are buying a carbine you may as well just get a rifle. A carbine has the low power of a pistol with extra length. All my opinion. Awesome gun. My only goal was to say there are better options if you truly want a pistol you shoot like a pistol.

Light, accurate, nice little pop, but not too loud.

Crossman Quality Assurance seems to be lacking. There is no way products should pass inspection with fill valves leaking gas around the threads at 300-500 PSI/Day

Mine came with a leak at the fill valve threads. I elected to fix the leak on my own dime with some supplies purchased locally ($20 for Spray Bottle, PTFE Tape and Pipe dope). CSR Tyler of Pyramid Air thanked me for letting them know about the issue, and that I fixed it on my own dime, and issued me a ~$20 credit towards my next purchase. I know that these folks do the best they can to not let things like this slip by, but I also realize I purchased a mass produced item that would be totally cost prohibitive for Pyramid Air to open each box and Quality Assure when that's Crossman's duty. So, I'm happy with the purchase. The Marauder pistol is a tack driver. Pyramid Air listened and showed good faith by giving me that credit to spend. I'm not looking for perfection in the world we live in. That's a fools errand. Bottom Line: Thank you Pyramid Air for your good communication and for the $20 credit. I look forward to bringing you some more business in the future.

I LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU CAN CHANGE FROM A PISTOL TO A RIFLE. THE GUN HAS SUFFICIENT TO REACH TARGETS OUT TO OVER 100 YARDS WITH GREAT ACCURACY. SMALL LIGHT WEIGHT AND GOOD LOOKING PIECE OF EQUIPMENT FOR PLINKING SPINNERS OR HUNTING SMALL GAME.

WHEN IN CARBINE MODE, THE SKELETOL HANDLE ONLY HAS ONE HOLE HANDLE SCREWS ON BOTH SIDES, MAKES FOR A EASY SHAKEY MOVEMENT MAKING THE HOLD FEEL UNEASY. A SECOND SCREW EVENLY SPACED SHOULD DO THE TRICK.

ALL IN ALL, IT IS MOST DEFINITELY A VERY FUN TO SHOOT, EASY TO LOAD MAGAZINE, LARGE SHOT COUNT, NICELY PRICED, DID I SAY FUN TO SHOOT> NOW WHAT I DID WAS PUT HOT GLUE ON THE HANDLE WHERE THE HANDLE MEETS THE GUN ITSELF. FOR A DEMONSTRATION.

The accuracy is great. 30 yard groups can easily be covered with a penny. Crosman premier pointed pellets shoot very well out of this gun along with the 15 gr JSBs. The trigger is also pretty good.

I would like a large air tank on this gun. After two mags a refill is needed. I also think a better shroud with baffles would be beneficial. This gun is not quite like the marauder rifles.

The first pistol I received was defective from the factory. The mag would not fit in the gun (believe this was a machining issue from the factory). This had NOTHING to do with Pyramyd Air. The gun was returned and a replacement was delivered promptly. Great customer service.
