Page 4 of 8 - Air Venturi V10 Reviews

well built and solid

spec says up to 400 fps, 335 actual on my chronograph . need to use lightest pellets and still does not cut good hole on target

not really a very viable 10 meter entry pistol as it would be nearly imposable to score the hits on target due to the poor penetration of pellets

Accuracy and grip adjustments

Cost is high for this gun and the power is lacking

Great accuracy for plinking.

It's accurate, has an excellent trigger, and the single-pump action is great for short sessions where you don't want to deal with CO2 or tanks. The grip is decent, but may need to be faired to fit the hand perfectly. I have large hands and it fits. Friends with smaller hands don't have a problem with it. The design is simple and sturdy.

A safety that engages at the start of the cocking cycle would be a nice feature. Cocking the gun can be a chore, making it easy to point in an unsafe direction in the process, especially if you're new to the gun. Loading can be fidgety, and getting a pellet stuck in the chamber is pretty easy. Keep a rod handy to tap it out. This is probably what's causing the complaints about it not firing when loaded and cocked.

There is a screw opposite the windage knob that adjusts the width of the rear sight. Out-of-the-box, the rear sight is so narrow that there's no light visible on the sides of the front sight. Open the screw a bit and you'll be right at home.

Very accurate. Good quality overall.

The handle is rough I sanded mine down. Trigger is not the best, would love to see a full metal trigger, springs are flimsy including trigger spring.

If you start having issues cocking the pistol, not holding air, having to pump multiple times in order for it build up pressure.
The issue is with the valve assembly turning loose. Mine started doing this after about 1200 shots, thought it was a seal but upon inspection I saw that the valve assembly was loose. To tighten it up just need to take the handles off and the trigger cover inside, using needle pliers you can tighten up the valve assembly.

Super accurate crisp trigger

more metal part other than plastic, maybe use aluminum instead of plastic will be much better!!!

very accurate almost with any pellet, i use r10 match pistol pellet in 10m match to get the good result!

The overall construction of the pistol and the adjustability of the grips and trigger.

The manual refers to being able to alter the rear sight (in respect to the notch to be aligned with the front sight). I was unable to do this because the only screw I could see was the windage screw which adjusts the entire sight and does not alter the opening. My preference would be for a slightly larger opening in the rear sight.

I wear medium gloves and like the grip size. It's way more accurate than I am. Seems well designed and constructed. Has nice fit and finish,

don't see anything after 2 shooting sessions.

I first time I shot it I noticed one it the screws that holds barrel in place was missing. Scott from customer service sent the parts to fix it, Thanks.
Would recommend to other Junior programs.

When this gun worked it was dead on at 10 M

The V10 I received only worked off and on, it would not hold air in the cylinder and so would fire but not move the pellet. I am hoping that it was a quality control issue and I have returned the pistol for replacement. We will see when I get the replacement.

Pyramd Air is certainly not at fault here and sent me a FedEx label for a return since I was under 30 days.

Looks good. haven't set it up or shot it much yet

Would be nice if Air Venturi would rec a few pellet brands that will work in this pistol

Just got the pistol. Also ordered Meisterkugeln Pro Pistol Pellets 177 Cal 8.2g Wadcutter. These pellets will not fire in my pistol. Hammer drops but no pellet comes out.

Another reviewer also had trouble with another pellet brand.

Some old cheap crosman pellets that I bought at Walmart do shoot fine.

Very nice entry level match pistol. I have borrowed hi end pistols that did not group like this. Nice trigger pull, nice sweet spot on the 2 stage.

Have had it since Dec 2018 and so far so good.

you can't run cheap pellets like crossman or daisy in this, they will get stuck. only match grade pellets seem to work well
