Page 3 - Crosman 1322 Black Reviews

Nice solid weight to this gun. It is just what I was after to shoot squirrels in the garden without hitting the neighbors house.

Multi shots are a challenge due to bolt action.

Accurate,worth the money spent.fast shipping considering the whole Corona thing going on.I'll definitely be a repeat customer in the future

Maybe a stainless steel model.

Ive had bad experiences with co2 cartridge pistols this was perfect for my needs

Pistol is quite accurate and very fun, I enjoy shooting it with the peep sight (stock rear sight flipped over) on a sandbag. Very good value for the money that has a massive aftermarket for upgrades/mods like many other Crosman pistols.

Trigger - This was my biggest gripe with the gun in stock form. I found the pull to be pretty heavy and it was bothering my finger after excessive shooting; purchasing an aftermarket sear spring adjuster was like magic. I also bought a trigger shoe which is very comfortable on my trigger finger and has the added bonus of looking nice. I now love the trigger but these parts did cost nearly the price of the gun itself. Sights - I don't like the rear sight, although flipping it over to use the peep works out okay. Not crazy about the all-black front sight blade; again it functions okay in peep config at the rear but if using the notch config at the rear it's unusable to me. The adjustability of the rear sight isn't great either - elevation is easier to adjust than windage, although I have the elevation as low as it goes and the gun still shoots a little high. I care more about tight groups than hitting the center of the bull, but just putting out there as an FYI.

Loudness - I've only used this gun shooting targets inside my garage at 5 meters. Without a moderator/silencer, it seems a bit too loud to shoot in the yard for me.

Pumping - I only need 3-5 pumps for my application (see above). This has gotten much easier as I've broken the gun in and applied a couple applications of pellgun oil. I haven't tried or needed to pump to the recommended max (10 pumps) but I can imagine this being quite a pain if shooting excessively. Of course, this IS a multi-pump gun, so it kind of is what it is and why I didn't put this under "things I would change" and again sometimes 3-5 pumps is all you need, depending on your application/conditions.

Overall, I really like the gun. I do think it's more of a great base for a build project than a great "straight out of the box" gun, but the price reflects that. Obviously be aware that once you start upgrading/modding, it's hard to look back and you're all-in cost may be 4x or 5x (or more?) of the gun itself. ;)

Excellent gun for the money Very accurate Powerful

At some point these need to be manufactured with a scope mount. I know you can order the metal breech with a dovetail but it should be standard issue

10th pump is hard, but it makes alot of pressure.

I've had several of these, and for the price they can't be beat. I enjoy pistol shooting, and they're so much fun for plinking around the house. I found mine to be very accurate right out of the box. Some day I'll mod one out, but for now I'm happy.

If they offered a upgraded, modified version, I know that I would gladly pay their price. That would be 5 stars for sure.

Great, reliable and simple. Kinda old school ,but good school air pistol..

This is a classic pellet gun. I have owned one of these in .177 for years. This gun is essentially the same design as the .177 model with some nice updates. I like the breach assembly that positively accepts the pellet and is spring loaded. The ability to vary the power with the number of pumps makes this a great tool. Accuracy on these guns is very nice with a good sight system. This gun is comfortable and accurate to shoot. I'm happy I picked up this newer model and found that the quality was the same or better than it was years ago. A great value for the money.

1. I would change the pin assembly that is at the pivot point of the pump mechanism. It seems to remain a weak point of the gun. There are some after market solutions that Crossman should adopt in their design. 2. While I like the sight system a bit of color would make it better for viewing. On my older gun and on this newer one I put a dab of white sight paint on the front sight to make it quicker to acquire. An easy fix but one that could be on the gun from the factory.

This gun never disappoints!

Great gun for the price. - Trigger had a little more pull than I like - so I adjusted the spring. - At 30 feet it's a tack driver.

Add a few bucks & have an adjustable rigger.

Great power in a .22. Sturdy frame and action. Best thing is that this gun has loads of mods available for it. You can truly customize it and make it what you want. A great buy

Sites could use an upgrade along with all steel components.

Another great starter gun. Very powerful and precise.

The Crosman 1322 is hands down for the price the best survival air pistol you can own. It delivers enough foot pounds of energy to take small game, both fur and feathers. Matched with the Crosman domed magnum pellets, it would be a great tool for anyone thinking about a compact pistol for a day after scenario. Paired with the available carbine stock it's accuracy is greatly improved. With the stock removed it could easily fit into a pack for meat foraging. If you need something compact in your situation, the value can't be beat. Can also be a great target shooter or pest control tool in .177 caliber (1377 model). This design has be around since the 1970's and some design changes have been made, but the platform is tried and true. A multi pump has virtually no recoil. If you chose to shoot without the stock I recommend a trigger shoe as the thin trigger takes some effort. Having a wider trigger shoe causes one to not jerk the gun upwards affecting accuracy.

Nothing. Possibly a wider trigger surface to improve accuracy.

This is a great pistol. We could argue all day about wood grips, trigger sears, flat top pistons, steel breeches and so on. But from the factory for the price it does what it is intended to do well. Upgrades are available which are cool, however the factory product does not disappoint. If you are on a budget and need a tool in my humble opinion the 1322 by Crosman will fill that niche!

I LIKE THE POWER and to me the pumping is easy

The sights on this gun are absolutely bad. I couldn't even get it sighted in at 25ft and there is no more adjustment. I have a milling machine and made a new sight out of alum. with more adjustment. There is not enough material on the original sights to modify so unless they up grade these sights or you can make new ones dont bother with this gun

It's a solid-well made gun with fairly good power for a pellet pistol.

I believe the sights can use some improvement. The front sight is plastic & has a slight bend to the right. Windage adjustment is a little tricky & squisy & can be moved after set without much pressure. Out of the box it was shooting a good bit off to the left at 15 feet & still is off to the left now. I like the gun & have hope for it.

It's versatile & fun to shot, even if you must hold a little to the right to hit the bullseye. More adjusting may resolve that.

the price, the size, the accuracy-even with open sights.

for the price, nothing.

Don't make the same mistake I made. Get the steel breech with the rear sight option. I am getting used to pumping it up for each shot. The open sights are just that. No better, no worse than others. I don't have a problem with them, even with my 60+ year old eyes. I would buy it again. I never shot it with the plastic breech so I can't tell you about the sights, etc.

Great overall value.

Maybe come stock with the steel breech.

I was comparing the Crosman 1322 and the Umarex Strike Point. I couldn't decide so I purchased both! Don't waste your time or money with the Umarex Strike Point! This Crosman 1322 is just plain fun. Even stock with the plastic breech it's very accurate. Add the steel breech and a red dot sight and prepare to be very impressed. Don't bother paying to have the steel breech installed it's very easy to install yourself. It even comes with the needed tools. The sands to be the best bang for buck setup in this price range for a pistol.

Accurate and hard hitting. I like the variable pump for low velocity uses.

You have to purchase a steel breech or a custom mount in order to use a scope and one of those devices costs about the same as the pistol! Also, the new forestock design allows your fingers to get pinched when pumping, making an aftermarket forearm an added expense.

the quality is good, the price is good, the customer service is good too.

Am fairly satisfied no immediate complaint at this time..

This is back to basic (aka: Old School). I had this pistol in .177 growing up. This is what we had!, more pumps (up to 10) and more power. They are very economical and really easy to work on. There are a numerous amounts of accessories out there and they can really be customized. Once you clean the barrel, and do some very minor trigger work they are extremely accurate all the way out to 20 yards.

At this price point you can't ask for much more. Wood grips and a wood pumping handle might be a nice option.

The triggers on these are really easy to work on. Just be cautious of the safety spring and small ball bearing, they can escape with no return. It is very easy to remove the trigger and the sear. Simply highly polish the contact points and apply a slight amount of grease. I also replaced the stock trigger spring with the sear adjuster and a lighter spring (about $20.00). This, along with the polished trigger, produces close to match grade results. My trigger breaks at under 3 lbs. and is extremely smooth. I also installed a Clevercraft Best Scope Mount ($40.00), a 3-9x40 AO mil-dot scope. I then topped it off with the shoulder ($25.00) which makes this as great little shooter.

weight ,balance grips

better trigger pull

for the price a fine buy

The power of the pistol is all right for a .22 caliper pistol. Your 10 shots for $10 really helped me decide how many pumps I needed for target shooting vs. hunting. Price is hard to beat. Nothing else available for this low price.

Too many pumps are required to achieve maximum velocity. Gets old fast when shooting multiple rounds Sights were off. but was able to correct and adjust. Wish Crosman would offer a similar pistol but with a higher muzzle velocity >600 f/sec.

Fantastic buy for the money. Like a bunch of others had one of these in both .177 and .22 back in my younger days. I just purchased a 1322 and wow does it work great! My chrono shows 509.3fps using 14.3 g round nose premiers at 10 pumps. Was going to get a flat top piston kit but bone stock its shooting almost 50 FPS more than Crosman rates it.

Easier and better mounting solution for optics.

Like I stated my 1322 is shooting consistently over 500 FPS in stock form. Lots of mods for the 1322. Should I mod my 1322 you may ask? Let me put it like this. 2 fellow air gunners have over $500 in their 1322s. At 30 feet my stock 1322 with a 1399, using Clevercraft Mount and 3x9x40 scope, with the proper pellets can hang with those big dawgs no problem. Makes them kinda frustrated too. Anyway very decent plinker which after a month of heavy use has done nothing but gotten better. No brainer buy one!
