    Nice gun for every recreative shooter

    By Paul

    This is a cheap, but very easy to use pistol. But, the steel breech is a must have for this gun to make it more reliable, and accurate. Also, it has endless modding combinations, witch result in performance, and looks.

    I have had this gun for quite a while and it's a great shooter. I plan on doing some mods on to make it an even better shooter. I would recommend this gun for anyone who wants a potent , easy to use gun.

    good pistol

    By arlockett

    This is a great gun. I have this model but I got my pistol modified through crosman!'s custom shop. I could not be more happier except for the length of time it took for me to receive my order. Too long!!!

    By KURT B

    2012-01-26 11:10:00
    THE QUICK AND SHORT OF IT IS THIS. THIS PISTOL IS A POWERFUL WORK HORSE . IT'S QUITE ACCURATE AS WELL .22 CAL PISTOLS OFTEN HAVE A REPUTATION FOR NOT HITTING THEIR MARK ! I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THIS ONE DOES. YOU WILL GET PLENTY OF SHOTS OUT OF A SINGLE C02 CARTRIDGE AS WELL. LOTS OF BANG FOR THE BUCK AND YOU CAN'T GO WRONG.

    Amazing

    anyone considering a new pellet gun, this is it. there are no problems. 460 fps and a sleek design that you can modify the crap out of, make this an ideal gun. Comes with plastic hand grips and everything else is metal. Has a timeless design and beautiful accuracy. Once again, all around amazing gun for beginners and experienced sharp shooters alike.

    Crosman 2240 Rat Buster

    By Gadget

    2012-04-01 18:11:14
    This is a great bit of kit for the price. Accurate, powerful and easy to shoot. I've added a silencer, (stops the neighbours getting too nosey), and a red dot sight, (for really quick target acquisition), which really enhance the shooting experience. The trigger is not the smoothest, but it does the job OK.
    Excellent for tackling small, close range vermin, ( such as rats, squirrels and pigeons), which are despatched cleanly at 10 meters.
    Great as a 'trainer' as it's easy to load, (no heavy cocking) and not too heavy to hold.
    Accurate enough for target work so long as you don't push the range too much.
    Approx' 60 shots per Co2 capsule.
    I would definately recommend this pistol for the above useage.

    This is an amazing gun with huge accuracy. You can modify it to the point of pure power. Mine shoots about 850 fps once I easily modified it. Brilliant piece of engineering!!!

    Good plinker, for an inexpensive piece.

    By curt

    There's good, and bad.
    The *worst* thing about the piece was getting it out of the plastic packaging ! Be careful, it will cut you !
    As delivered, trigger was terrible. Rough, creepy, and hard. A little work, and it's more than good now.
    ( how-to easily found on internet. Spring and polish )
    Advertised 460 FPS but I'm getting 360 with Crosman Premier Ultra Magnums on a 75F degree spring day.
    Hit's hard, though. Won't punch though 1/2 inch plywood, but it will through 1/4 ply !
    Last powerlet took 46 shots to pierce the cap, and get any CO2, but internet search says Crosman
    had a bad run on powerlets, so I'm not blaming the gun, yet. First one took 6 shots. ( same batch )
    Feel, excellent.
    Balance, excellent.
    Simplicity, excellent.
    Accuracy, the gun is more accurate than I am ! ( old eyes )
    Seen criticism of the plastic breech, but I find it excellent ! I'll probably never bother with the steel breech option.
    It's not a $1000 match grade target pistol, but it's well worth the selling price.
    I would buy another, and probably will.
    I would also recommend you can buy this model with confidence.

    Great gun for anytime shooting

    this is a great gun for anybody, anyage to have... if you dont like stock parts, it is one of the best guns for buying cusomized parts for. also powerfull enough to kill any samll varmet, cant kill a coyote or bigger, but anything under that, consider it dead when you got this airgun in your hand... i highly recommend it.

    2240 co2 Pistol (.22)

    By McMikomas

    2012-05-05 03:50:15
    The most outstanding SINGLE shot pistol I've owned (I once had a 8 shot co2 .22 cal "44 Magnum" in the late 70s-80s that shot at 500 FPS). I would like to get either aluminum or steel Breech for it but I can't find any although I tried many websites (I wouldn't know how to install it any how). I would also like BROWN GRIPS (Plastic or wood) but no luck there either. Anyway, it's a GREAT Gun as is and only needs a CUSTOM made Holster it can fit properly in.

    Crosman told me they would honor their warranty re: many shots to pierce, even though I had worked on the trigger.
    I'd originally bought the thing from Amazon, who replaced it next day red label.
    Major kudo's to both Crosman and Amazon.

    The replacement works as advertised out of the blister pack, which is still the worst feature.
