Description

Great all-day shooter. Plink with lead pellets or economical steel BBs. Feels like a firearm. Ideal for paper popping and killing soda cans. If you shoot at spinners, do it with lead pellets. Remember to use a couple drops of Crosman's Pellgunoil on the tip of every CO2 cartridge you insert in your pistol to keep the seals lubricated (so your CO2 doesn't leak out).

  • 8-shot semiauto
  • Durable synthetic frame
  • Fixed front sight
  • Rear sight adj. for windage
  • Accessory rail under barrel

  • Never shoot steel BBs at hard objects!
  • Shoots steel BBs at 430 fps

Lightweight, I am shooting Crosman SSP 4.0 grain lead free pellets. Great velocity and they also have a pointed version of the pellet available also. Decently accurate. Is a close range pistols 10-15 yards close target radius.

The looks of the trigger for sure, but for the velocity and price its good.

It is plastic but looks pretty good.

Most everything except "Things I would change"

It is almost impossible to load the CO2 cartridge. It required 2 pliers and a lot of force, and I almost broke the screw unit. Am I doing something wrong? Please help!

Great little gun. Nice feel an balance.

Im not sure if the warranty is up but send it back. there not that hard to load. I have larger fingers so I made a little tool, out of a piece of aluminum tubing. It's about 2" long used a hacksaw and a vice grip to saw a notch in the tubing needs to be straight and about 3/16" then flatten slightly, drill a 1/8" hole in the other end, put a nail through the hole and you have a nice little key for tight spots.

Great value for the money & quite accurate with pellets. Feeds reliably but use good quality pellets only. I added a laser sight to the rail which helped accuracy.

A fully adjustable rear sight like the previous model (Crosman 1008) would be nice. Also a little extra weight would be better.

Good to purchase some extra magazines. The gun is a little plastic looking but that is ok given the price & performance.

I like the look and feel,easy to load,shots per Co2.and the price is very fair.Accurate and shoots hard.

the trigger pull is a bit hard,add some metal for weight gun is to light.

Great plinker and fun to shoot.people always say crosman gun are made cheap,well i think because most of there guns are mostly plastic dosent make cheap but cheaper to make all my crosmans stand up to my abuse and have had few problems in the past 45 years so you do the math.Just need to be a little more careful not to drop them to many times.

Looks sleek, feels light, shoots +/-75 pellets per CO2 cartridge, reasonably priced, easy squeeze on cocked single shot, fun semi-auto action.

I would make a version with removable front & rear sights in various colors (silver, gold, white, yellow, red, green) to accommodate different lighting/background conditions.

Caution! Airgun looks authenically real.

accuracy at my indoor range is fantastic....

make the gun heavier, i added a laser site to it just for the weight, i dont need the site though, sites were good out of the box, can hit 16 shots from 25' and group them in a quarter sized group..

fun to shoot gets about 80 shots per co2 cart.
definately better accuracy w/ pellets
fps much higher than rated with certain pellets
have chrony and tested all my guns

Not a BAD pistol for under sixty bucks ! ! Trigger pull and sights do need help ( read below )

sights and trigger pull

I am a target shooter so accuracy and trigger pull is important . With at least mine right out of the box trigger pull on single action was bad but it does " break in " after a hundred or so shots , and you will still find there is trigger "creep" meaning pull it back untill you feel resistance , stop , get you sight picture , than fire .
As far as sights I tried a lot of fileingsights , but no help . i than called STACEY at PYRAMYD AIR and she suggested a LE Tactical Laser Sight , item # LESCP-LS168 selling for $ 25.95 . Best money i have spent , I now own a gun that will shoot groups at 28 feet you can cover with a quarter ! !
THANK YOU STACEY and PYRAMYD AIR FOR HIREING AND HAVING SUCH A KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON......................

Strong and accurate with pellets. It can fire BBs, but not as accurately. I purchased the 1088 kit which contained a pair of shooting glasses and a BB/Pellet sampler. It's nice looking and lightweight.

The 1088 should come with additional clips. I would like to see dots on the sights, because a grey target renders the front sight almost invisible.

I'm getting about 40-50 shots per cartridge. Ilove this pistol and can't put it down.
