This little pistol is dead-on accurate and a tremendous value. I chronographed it with Crosman Premier 14.3 grain pellets and 10 shots averaged a little over 470 fps. That is 10 fps better than advertised. Also, it held maximum velocity through shot #35.

There are hundreds of aftermarket parts so you can really build your own custom version. This gun has a sort of cult following of people that spend hundreds of dollars boosting performance and making it a work of art. I have already added custom grips, a high performance valve, aluminum breech, wire stock...

However, you do not have to customize this little pistol to do some great target shooting or rid your yard of pests. It delivers right out of the box.

I did a lot of research before I bought my first CO2 pistol and it was worth the effort. Go ahead and buy the dovetail mount when you order.

Nice gun right outta the box.
Like so many other people who have bought one of these, It is a nice gun that feels good in your hand. The gun can be modified in several ways too. Handle grips can be made of a nice wood. There are guys who make these on the web, check them out. Do some researching if you want to go that far. It has good power right outta the box. Sights are great too. If you do need to sight it in, you'll need a small screwdriver or a smalll allen wrench. Easy. And, e a s y when you are unscrewing the screws too, be careful and gentle with it. There are guys who sell replacement screws too on the net. You'll have a good time, and be respectful with it too.

Don't understand negative review. This is an excellent air pistol. I only use it outside, but I handle it with care as it is a pistol. I normally get 70-85 shots per co2 cartridge. Great pistol, very accurate, very powerful for the price. You can spend $300 or more an get maybe 350fps out of .177 pellet (for a "pro-target" pistol). This baby will give you at least 450fps with .22 pellets (accuracy up to you). If you are shooting bb's then you probably would not use as much co2. Maybe the power and .22 cause more usage of co2. I guess it all depends on what you are looking for.

this gun is awesome...anyone who complains about this gun has no clue about pellet guns...very easy to load...very easy to put the co2 in gun....accurate...i had an annoying alley cat howling all night...after i got this gun he stopped howling...

Pros: Super accurate. I added a Crosman stock to the pistol, changed the rear sight to peep hole, made some adjustments by test firing, now I can attain 90% accuracy at a 60 ft target without using a scope.
The pistol is loud and powerful, sounds like a firearm which scared my 14 yr old son. (and the neighbors)
Very low cost on Amazon.
Cons: not look attractive. Rear sight is plastic and easily moved when bumped.
Because of its low cost and accuracy I would buy again.

I was very impressed with the quality of this Co2 pistol. Right out of the box accuracy was excellent. In my initial shooting session I was putting 10 shots in a ragged hole from a sandbag rest at 10 meters. The bolt cycled smoothly and locked up tight. The only minus was that the trigger had more creep than I like, but this may work itself out as the pistol breaks in.

As I was doing research on this pistol before purchase it became apparent that there is somewhat of a cult following for this Co2. There are many aftermarket modifications available and it can be upgraded to the extreme.

At $[...] including shipping the 2240 can't be beat you are getting a lot for what you are paying. Highly recommended.

i recentley bought this pistol. i brought it to the range and i can tell u that after zeroing in it is very accurate. cheap and fun to shoot.

It is all that I expected and the best price for the Crosman 2240. It fits good in the palm of my hand and is comfortable to target practise. Shipping was free and very fast, recieved in 3 days from ordering. I am satisfied customer and have been in the past with Amazon.

This gun won't let you down. I've had mine for a little over a year now and it still is accurate,powerful, and easy to use. If you are worried about getting a bad deal, you don't have to be if you just buy this gun.
