Accuracy

Durability

Pump failed at about 2 weeks.
1000 shots/pumps
Returned to pyramid with no issues. Refunded promptly

Accurate, location of trigger adjustments,

Reliability. Smaller front sight blade.

This pistol failed to charge when pumped after 2 weeks of heavy use. Approx 2000 rounds. Returned for refund.
This issue probably could be repaired easily and cheaply as there are ample parts available from pyramid, but I do not want to have to continually repair.

Excellent accuracy for the price. Nice to be able to shoot a few rounds without wasting the rest of a CO2 cartridge. Cocks easily, good sights, I especially like the adjustable notch width. As a non-competition shooter, all the pistol I'd ever want.

Nothing comes to mind...

Grip, trigger, function, accuracy

Plastic sights don't give great inspiration. Metallic construction would be better but probably not economically feasible. I would like to see a finer adjustment for elevation. It is a bit too coarse for my liking.

As indicated in the owner's handbook, the top sight screw adjusts elevation.
The screw on Right side of rear sight adjusts windage (left / right).
WHAT is NOT mentioned in the owner's manual is that there is a much smaller screw on Left side of rear sight which can be used to make some adjustment to the width of the rear sight slot opening. At my age (76) and with my eyesight, I prefer to see a bit more daylight on either side of the front sight blade when I am looking at my sight picture. As received, the pistol rear sight showed almost no daylight on either side of the front sight. By turning the small screw (clockwise) at the rear Left of the rear sight (looking downrange at the target) I was able to open up the slot to create more daylight on either side of the front sight.

Feel and accuracy. Nice gun till it quit working

Nothing if it works

Returned gun after it quit shooting pellets downrange. Compressed air just fine but would not shoot pellets

Very accurate for 10 meter gun.

Could use a little more power.

I first bought the reconditioned Air Venturi V-10, but had problems with it. I returned and purchased the same gun new. I like the accuracy. You do have to hold the sight picture as you finish pulling trigger. The pellet travels relatively slowly down this long barrel. I like the adjustable trigger. This gun is a true test of ones marksmanship. It will show every wiggle.

The rear sight width adjustment is kind of wierd. It does not work very well. I thought the sandable grip was a tadd big for my medium sized hands. But i would still buy the same size. I probably need to sand the grip.

Do not expect much power. But you should be only poking holes in paper with this gun.

I'm not much of a pistol shooter, but with this I'm sure I'll improve. From bench rest this is very accurate.

A little hard to load at first,, but it gets easier .

I am new to air pistols but have been a pistol shooter forever. The Air Venturi V10 is a great entry level 10m gun. The grip is tad small for my large hands but a little file work will fix that. Great feel and balance. Operationally it takes 20-50 shots to feel comfortable with the cocking action; keep fingers out of the way when closing, don't touch the sights, use shooting thumb to unlock. A little practice loading the pellet; it needs to be angled into the breech and then seated, and a little TLC to make sure you do not damage the skirt. Trigger pull and angle adjustment are great and complete this great gun. Been shooting mainly R10 pistol and rifle pellets and it really seems to like them.

Sights are good and adjust well, but just seem a little frail.

Loading the pellets is an acquired feel; angle it in and then seat it with your fingertip. Don't go above 8.5sh grains on the pellets, it won't push them out.
I can shoot anytime and don't need to worry about tanks and running out of air, love it.
Basement shooting in the winter is now fun, accurate and anytime. But one and enjoy it!

Great accuracy out of the box and many options to tailor it to your personal specs at a very reasonable price.

Nothing. It is more than I could expect from an entry level pistol at this price.

The visible gap between the front and rear sight blades may be too tight for some people’s preference.
