I was very skeptical on purchasing this gun. About 5 guys told me it was well worth the money, and was very accurate. So I took a 50 dollar coin and flipped it. I guess I lost but won a gun. So what now? I tried many different pellets through this gun. All of them shot fairly well. Then I found some Straton pellets. If i did my part, I was able to shoot 5 pellets into a half to 3/4 inch at 40 yards. It is THAT accurate with the straton pellets. I tried other pellets, but accuracy was not near as good. At 20 yards I could put 5 pellets in a 2 inch circle. In order to achieve this kind of accuracy, I had to use my porch rail and a pillow on top of it to hold the gun steady. I am totally impressed with this gun. I pump 6 times for 20 yards and 10 times for 40 yards. Pros. . . 1. Very accurate with the correct pellet. fairly accurate with most pellets. What I mean by fairly accurate is a 5 shot group in 1 inch circle at 10 yards/meters. This will satisfy most people. 2. It is easy to pump. Was not to hard to pump for me. 3. I like the weight. . .It is heavy enough to hold steady but light enough to not fatigue your arms. 4. Pellets load in easy. The chamber is exposed, so the pellets are very easy to place in the chamber. You may have to work just a little when you close the bolt. Why? because the head of the pellet will sometimes get caught on the screw that holds the barrel on the gun. I left the head up with the skirt of the pellet. If you try to jam the pellet in the gun with the bolt (which you can), you may damage the pellet. This will make the accuracy of the gun poorer, because the pellet has been damaged. 5. Rear sight is adjustable fairly nice. Though I do not like the windage adjustment, because I think it is a little "funky" and cheap, the elevation adjustment was really nice. 6. Rear sight has both v and peep sight. That was nice. Cons. . . 1. The rear sight is funky. the windage is very poor adjustment. You actually twsit the sight left or right for the windage adjustment. I was not impressed by that. With that said, I had actually very little windage adjustment. It was factory true. 2. Elevation control. Out of the box, I was hitting about 6 inches high at 10 yards. I could not move the sight down far enough to bring my pellets closer to the Bullseye. I ended up taking a pop can and cutting my own sight out of the thin metal and using it for a sight. Then I was able to bring the Point of impact down to about 1 inch above the Bullseye at 10 yards. This satisfied me. 3. Plastic grip seems to be a little loose. NOT much, but just a little . It is not a deal breaker. 4. Trigger is not the best, but what can you expect from a cheap gun? It is a lot better than a lot of other Pellet guns out there on the market. Overall. . . For a gun like this, I am totally impressed. I feel that if I did my part,and I had all my T's crossed and I's dotted, I could possibly MOA with this gun with the right pellet. The Stratons were absolutely amazing through this pistol. 25 yards gave me (at one time) 3 pellets almost in the exact same hole. Other pellets gave me groups that I was very happy with too. Imagine a 3/4 inch CTC (or less) at 10 yards with most pellets I tried. The power is there for you. The accuracy, is there for you. The reliability is there for you. You do your part, it will do its part. For 50 dollars, really, how can one lose? It is Amazing for me and well worth the money. It is hands down, one of the best shooting guns I have ever had for the money. You can spend 3 times the money, but you probably will not get the accuracy this pistol has.

Great little pellet pistol. Plenty of power and accuracy for hunting. Just be sure to oil the hinges on the break action so you don’t tear a bicep trying to pump it.

Craftsmanship and quality are pretty good from this pistol. It is easy to use and pretty accurate depending on ammo used. Other brands of .177 pellets work fine in this firearm. I like the blunt nosed which seem harder to ricochet. I used one of these years a go and like the fact that you don't have to purchase co2 cartridges and can pick it up and use anytime without purchasing additional items. On major thing I do not like, is that the handle and stock are made of non realistic plastic. I really liked the original model which used genuine wood and was very attractive. It is easy to instruct gun safety and just have some fun practicing. It would be nice if it were made with real wood and had some sort of holster or case to transport it.

I had such a critter problem, along with squirrels and decided to purchase this particular pump gun. I was pissed off at all the varmints, so I pumped it up 10x, took shots at various targets and it was more powerful, louder, and more accurate than a 22 gal pistol. After firing it at a few targets, just around my house and farm, all the squirrels and critters had vanished within 3-4 acres sight? Mind you also, these targets were at least 100-200 ft away! Larry

The item is pretty quiet, on par with other BB/pellet guns. I expected it to be as flimsy as the rifle version, but the pistol seems to be made to a higher quality. I got it for pest control, and for that it’s worth every penny.

My second exact pellet gun. Works quite well. I still can hit squat!

This is exactly what I wanted in a pellet gun. It is sturdy, seems well made, is very easy to use and accurate. I had a similar one when I was young that was made of wood and metal and really this one is more pleasant to use. The pump and handle are plastic but it is dense and doesn't feel flimsy at all. I bought this to scare away a huge cat that comes into my yard and attacks my cats. I don't want to puncture the skin but I do want to send a message (old West style!) That's why this variable pump pistol was the perfect option. I just took it out of the box for my initial test and it works wonderfully. I hit a beer can every time at about 12 yards. The sights were right on. I wanted to see how many pumps would be the right velocity to sting but not do any real damage. 3 pumps went all the way through the can. (too much for my purposes). 2 pumps seemed just about right if you're not too close. (it punctured the can but didn't go all the way through the other side). 1 pump was enough to knock the can over from 12 yard but didn't enter the can. It was slow enough that you could see the pellet bounce off. This is a good gun. Price seems very reasonable. I'm sure it will last for years and years. It's Justice time!

Gun has been working fine. The rear site adjust screw got loose and when tried to tighten it stripped out in the barrel. Though it doesn’t cause a functional issue, it is a workmanship issue.
