detail of pistol

nothing

when removing partially loaded clip with bb's make sure you shake pistol to get the single bb out of the magazine.

looks of the pistol, it's heft and feel like a 9mm Beretta,ease of loading,fast handling,accuracy is surprising for a CO2 smoothbore BB pistol,helped by it's longer sight radius than my other pistols.

perhaps come with 2 extra mags and RWS air cylinder oil.

when you empty a magazine and drop it out, be sure to shake the pistol to drop out a stray BB that might still be up in the gun to keep the next mag from hanging up in the pistol grip. very hard to remove it when that happens. also, do not ever leave a CO2 cylinder, idle, in the pistol pretty much for any extended period of time,as the instructions warn. I ruined my first ELITE 2's gas seals by leaving a cylinder in for a week. still trying to find a way to fix it( it was a harder hitting 480 fps model}. I now dump the CO2 each night, empty or not,on my Beretta, or any of my Crosmans I might be carrying that day.

For a BB gun, this pistol is scary-powerful. If you like to see targets shatter, or metal pierced by a lowly BB, this is for you; videos guys have put online attest to this. It is also quite accurate. Part of this pistol's appeal may be that is is somewhat crude in many design elements, but when it comes to shooting, it is pretty accurate and authoritative. It is not a work of mechanical art, but it does its job.

I think the union of the gun and the magazine needs to be smarter. Often the first shot after loading can be an "ify" proposition; many people note some jamming issues. I don't consider this a deal breaker, but firing this gun after loading is not a matter of popping in the magazine and letting it rip. Loading the magazine is a delicate operation, as the topmost BB in the mag is likely to rattle out of place. The cartridge holder is also somewhat primitive, even compared to a Taurus Airsoft CO2 I also have. Once it gets going, though, its operation is fool-proof and brisk.

I appreciate the weight, power, and feel of this gun. I've owned it since 09/10/2011 and it still performs perfectly. Never leaks because I always use Crossman Pellgun oil. The sliding grip is NOT too loose. In fact I have to kinda work it sometimes, that's not a bad thing.

Like mentioned in another review, the bore barrel is not held in place. This does not seem to negatively affect the way the gun performs.

Buy lots of Crossman Pellgun Oil. Pyramid Air sells it cheaper than anywhere else. "Bass Blow Shop" sells it for more than $6. Check your BBs, use the oil and have fun. I have alot of very nice (expensive) co2 BB and firearm pistols and I still very much enjoy shooting this gun.

wieght of gun is nice,feel and power is great

the barrel that the bb comes out of is not centered in the gun housing or fixed on center when you look at gun from the barrel end you can clearly see the bb barrel and the gun barrel housing that make up the shape of gun are not centered i took gun apart and seen that there is no guild sort of if there sould be a spacer i am working on some sort of centering washer / spacer to correct it myself, the grip handle also slides back a little to easy and feels loose, a grip band would work.

once you get used to the airguns off centering the gun itself is a great deal and with no BLOWBACK all power is in the shot, the trigger a little on hard side but the gun is smooth, i shoot one inch plastic figures at 32 feet and nail them.

tiene buen peso y buena precisión, de buen tamaño para los que les gusta las armas grandes y por supuesto buena potencia.

de pronto un poco la apariencia ya que se ve muy plastica

Good looking gun. More plastic then I expected but very well made. As others have said, it keeps the pressure over a period of weeks and the strength of the pressure, even after shooting 100 bb's is very good. Good value for the money.

I like this pistol. It's alot of fun to shoot. You get alot of shots per co2. Fairly accurate for fixed sights. Once I got used to the sights, I was knocking out bulls with ease!

Nothing for the price

buy it if you're looking for a basic, fun to shoot bb pistol. not many frills here, but fun to plink cans all day long!

As accurate as any pellet gun at 10 meters NO DOUBT.And I include 7 other air pistols all top sellers

Wish the slide handle had a lock

This one always gives me over 200 shots per powerlet if I use pellgun oil Very accurate About time it hit the top 10

Best Deal in air pistols period. Gets 200 plus accurate shots per co2.Uses the c-11 clips.Very well built it has a weak point in the front but only if dropped.I didnt drop it and hope I dont.There is a place under the front sight where the plastic meets together..But this is a heavy pistol and has a lot of metal in it...

Nothing at this or a higher price!!!If it had a blowback it would cost more and waste more gas for the effect ..of the blowback

This pistol is more accurate than any of my pellet pistols with the exception of my 2240 crosman and Ive got the G P-23 a daisy a crosman 357w a G Pt 80 a crosman c-11 bb ! shot 180 copperheads as fast as I could figured it was gona lose pressure but when I pulled the co2 it had a ton left I mean enough to freeze the cartridge a frosty white, what a waste lesson learned...

Weighing in at 1 1/2 lbs this is not a cheap feeling pistol,weight and balance was very good also was much nicer looking than the pix.Getting 150 to 200 shots per co2 and with pause ,staying in the 380 fps range for 120 shots it was very accurate even more so than several pellet pistols I own will hit cans at up to 75 feet and with BBs thats impressive

Nothing at this price

trigger is a plus very light crisp and accurate,accuracy only suffers with quick shots which can be componsated with pistol movement easily and power regained with a pause of a few seconds.Got 450 fps for a high low 300s for a low until you get around 125 to 150 shots in then a big drop.very cost effective and fun... also uses the crosman c-11 mags BEST BUY IMHO and otherwisw LOL

Look, weight

Pin that punctures the CO2 cartridge is flawed. After shooting fine for 1 week, every time I put in a new CO2 cartridge, it breaks and leaks all the CO2. So practically this gun is useless.

Don't buy it.

Another update... This gun has now shot 8-10,000 rounds and still functions perfectly.

Perhaps adjustable sights. Mine shot low at first. I cut a small tab of sheet metal, sawed a knotch in it, drilled very small holes in it, (below and beside the knotch-to hold glue) and stuck it to the front of the rear sight. It is now sighted in for 25 yards, dead on.

My Beretta Elite has been sooo worth the money. It gets 8-10 mags per powerlet. It does not shoot quite as hard as some of my action pistols, but hard enough for as many shots as you get. It gets the advertized 410 fps I'm sure. If I could only own one pistol, this would be one of the few on the list to choose from!

Velocity, appearance, price and accuracy. Value for the money.

Nothing. Not for the price. Great price.

This is a great gun for just plinking. You can spend a lot more if you want a replica AND a plinker. I collect airguns and I have both. Each is enjoyable.

It has a nice feel and good grip long lasting Co2

Make it blow back and make it so you can cock it and have it break apart when the clip is empty.

The design, the balance. It's easy to hold, This uses the same clips as the Crosman C11-C31 so it makes buying clips easy. fits 19 bbs meaning you have a lot of shots. If you're patient with your shots you're rather accurate. The CO2 is long lasting. It outlasted my buddy's C31 by 2 clips. The loading system is easy, I have yet to waste a cylinder.

Like the review I posted for the C11 I wish it had a top rail. It's not a deal breaker though. This gun is heavier then I expected. However I am into realistic weight so to me it's not a big deal, but say a youth may have a bit of trouble wielding it.

This is a good gun for the money. I am waiting on pellgunoil as I have shot 2 CO2 cartridges through and it's recommended on the third apply toe oil to keep your seals lubed. Do yourself a favor and get a gun cleaning kit made specifically for .177 guns while you're at it. It does take a bit of patience and arm strength. But it's well worth it to have a clean firearm that will last you many years.

The balance is great,19 shot/clip makes for more shooting and less loading. The under rail works great for a dot sight or a flashlight ring. I bought 4 more clips and can empty all,refill and empty again. It dos'nt drop off till the 8th clip. Fun,Fun,Fun.

The co2 carage, I don't understand why, but sometimes the capsule won't seat properly and it'll leak out.

I discovered accidenly, that if the I turned the capsule back and forth a few times helps line up the tip before puncturing. Always put a small drop of airgun oil on the tip of the capsule before loading.
Keep the seals lubed.

Quality - price - Power

Have a built in scope mount.

Style, feel. & performance.

I bought my first one and after six months, the co2 cylinder leaked as soon as I put it in. I wasted three trying to get it to seal. Finally bought another one and believe it or not, I had the same problem 6 months later. Love the gun but can't afford to buy one every six months!

Additional Info: I put a fresh 12 gram powerlet in my Beretta Elite II last night, and (get THIS) got slightly over 200 shots out of the powerlet ! The shots were STILL STRONG up to about 160 shots ! Also about 20% of them were rapid fire ! Phenomenol !!! Never had an airgun with that effecient use of CO 2!

This airgun might be the most economical pistol regarding CO 2 consumtion. I've never seen anything like it!
