.177 PCP Air Pistol

I shoot airguns a lot. I have a great passion for inexpensive air power. This pistol delivers the goods for sure. It feels decent in the hand (a bit big but manageable for my size large hands). It has a bit of a hefty but is balance for me. The magazines work well but I did have a problem with a miss fire and a double load. It only happened once and I'm not sure what happened. I really like the single shot tray as well. Gun is super easy to adjust and can make excellent power (at the expense of shot count). Figure about 36 to 48 low power shots 24 High power. Sights are decent for what they are. Gun is not too loud (I can shot indoors without making the family angry). Love the fill probe had a built in male adapter. No extra to purchase. Picture is 10 shots at 10 meters with open sights. About 1 inch group. Gun is begging to be scoped. Haven't figured out the best pellet for it yet but it handles Crosman Premier Hollow Points real well. Lots of fun for under two hundred bucks! UPDATE: backed the power way down (shooting 450 fps) for indoor use. Easily getting 50 to 60 shots per fill now. Accuracy has been pretty incredible for open sights and 55 year old eyes. So far H&N Field Target Trophy pellets provide the tightest group (at well under 1/4" at 10 meters). It has shot everything well and most of my shot groups fall in the 1/2 to 3/4 inch group. I am using the single shot tray (mine came with 2 SS trays but no degassing tool) and it is easy to use. The gun is so easy to tune with just an Allen wrench. Once the nice weather returns I plan on turning up the power to do some Field Target shooting. I will most likely use this for close range pest work as well. I am very pleased with this pistols performance. It is on the heavier side, but it shoots as well as anything in this price range and has such easy adjust-ability that it far exceeds airguns 2x it's price. Update 2 Backed the power down to 300 fps for indoors @10 meters. Now I get 100 shots per fill. I literally can shoot for several hours between fills. The accuracy has gotten even better and the gun has "broken" in well. Zero leaks and zero issues filling. I am very much in love with this pistol as it is just so accurate and so easy to use at such a great price. I moved my rating up to 5 stars as this gun deserves to be in any budget shooters arsenal. I am saving up to purchase the bullpup version of this platform.

Very nice pistol. A bit heavier than I would prefer, but accurate, and reliable. I bought this to replace a Diana Bandit that broke(twice). I enjoy practicing with this pistol.

Broke on me in 4 days, I sent it in for service and never seen the gun again, some dude named Peter that can't respond to any email or voice mail won't answer at all. I'm out $153 + $53 it cost to send the gun to be serviced. Noone maked this purchase right. Stay far away from all Beeman products, they all break and their customer service is nonexistent!

Good shooter

This is the best .177 air pistol I have ever purchased. It is heavy, but it is accurate and uses the pressure in its tank very economically. After the initial fill, I have fired 40 to 50 rounds of lead pellets and the tank gauge is only about half way down the green. I have fired lead pellets though tin cans at 15 feet, and placed several pellets so close together at 10 feet that it looks like one large hole. The down side. The magazines are useless. They do not fit the receiver without some modification and then won’t load a pellet into the chamber. It’s like there were two different manufacturers with two different sets of drawings. One for the gun and another for the magazine. At least the single pellet loader works well. It’s not as fast as a multiple pellet magazine, but it works. Even so, it is a better air pistol than the other 5 I own. 2 pcp, 1 co2, 2 spring piston. I would definitely buy it again in the 22 cal version.

Malfunctioned in less than a month

The pistol is great and customer service is wonderful.

I'll amend my review if I have issues, but for now, gotta go with 4.5 stars, rounded to 5. My only gripe is that the plastic rear sight is chintzy, I don't expect it to hold up long term. Other than that, the fit & finish is very good, everything works as it should, it's accurate and it's powerful as pistols go. My primary purpose is eliminating rodents around the house & shop. I have suppressed rimfires that are great for that, but .22 LR obviously means making sure you have a good backstop, which isn't always possible. A 600-800 FPS .177 pellet gun, on the other hand, doesn't present the kind of dangerous ricochet concerns that prevent me from eliminating these pests much of the time with the firearms. It still has plenty of power to dispatch rabbits, though. Don't get a tone of shots when you turn them all the way up, about 24 before they start dropping significantly in velocity. But if you back it off to the level of a CO2 pistol, more in the 300-400 FPS range, you can get 80-100 shots on a fill. It is a pretty large pistol, larger than the images suggest, so know that it's really not one you'll be holstering for walking trails or something. It dwarfs a full size duty pistol, is still 2" longer than my Beretta 92 with a suppressor on it.
