Page 3 of 7 - Beeman P3 Reviews

It's a very accurate, well-balanced pistol. It is also much better made than the cheap P17.

Nothing. I'm used to the hard-cocking Beeman P1 and this is no worse.

I bought a tin of Crosman Ultra Magnum, 10.5 gr. pellets because they were the only Crosman domed pellets I found. I wanted domed pellets because of the pellet traps I am using indoors. Unfortunately, these pellets will not reliably chamber in the P3. If you try to force them completely into the chamber they will be distorted or jam in the chamber. I'm betting that these pellets are 4.52 mm in diameter and the P3 wants 4.5 to 4.51 diameter pellets

Overall an excellent, accurate and affordable gun. The Beeman P3 is a very accurate gun and provides an accuracy level typically found on much more expensive guns. It is a safe gun, single shot and the safety is automatically engaged when the pistol is cocked. The overall gun weight, feel and hand grip are very comfortable for a variety of shooters - my wife, adult children and 3 grandchildren (ages 11 - 17) all feel comfortable shooting the pistol. The fiber optic front and rear sights are excellent and the rear sight is adjustable for windage & elevation.

Overall, I have not found anything about this gun that I have not been satisfied with. My only issue has been that while the gun is not to difficult to cock, over an extended shooting period my hand gets sore from pressing down on the ridged areas on top of the barrel. However, I remedy this by putting on a lightweight cotton glove - which completely solves the issue.

This is an excellent, accurate and affordable gun. I liked the first one I bought so much that I bought a second one and both have been excellent.

Trigger, weight, balance, accuracy

Cant add a scope and still cock the weapon

shoots a bit better than the p17 (beemans under 40 dollar Chinese clone). Only time will tell if its worth the 5x price tag. Super accurate, fully adjustable rear sight with a super adjustable trigger.

The pistol grip could be a bit beefier,I find it a bit small for my hand.

In the beginning cocking and loading this gun will give you a bit of trouble, but within a few weeks of use you will not believe you had such a hard time of it.

Great sight picture. Excellent two stage trigger. Overall a real keeper.

Perfect economical practice gun!

The gun is very accurate!

It is difficult to load until you get use to it.

It takes some effort to cock it. I have a pad on my bench and I put the gun on it and press the shroud down. Watch your fingers and hands it will pinch you if careless,

Great shooting pistol. Accurate, easy to shoot and just plain fun... Even the 12 year old grandson likes shooting this pistol!!

A way to do multiple pellets??

Lots of power..

I have owned/shot many airguns over the years - including this one. Now that I'm past the every other week buy/trade/sell/tinker phase or whatever it is....I find myself re-arming my 'airsenal' with guns I really liked a lot. The "real deal" HW40/P3 is one of them! Bang for the buck paper punching and plinking air pistol ready to go out of the box - other than check it out, clean bbl and/or some slight sight/trigger adjustments - this one is it IMO. With a 3 MOA red-dot sight on top from seated/rested position I can keep 'em dime sized 5 shot groups at 45 feet.

Nothing really to change for me - others may add a longer bbl, do some grip mods, etc. and that's ok too.

Top quality air pistol! Have always liked Beeman imports and this pistol is no exception. It's accuracy is great and the trigger is excellent! Weirauch is legendary for top shelf guns. Also a great value. As always, Pyramyd Air is what's going on!

nuthin!

Can't go wrong with this pistol!

Its the Trigger,after owning many Pistols this has it all ! Great Balance with Match Trigger and Match accuracy for around $200.00 ! Bought mine Refurb. w/Fiber Optic sights and will never need to scope this Great Shooting Pistol ! Thanks Again to PA !

Nothing !

Holding against your knee to cock will make it much easier !
