Page 10 - Crosman 2240 Reviews

Excellent pistol, accurate, feels great in my hand, 40 shots per cartridge,

The rear of the pistol has sharp edges, right where it rests in the niche of my right hand when I'm gripping it. It actually hurts after 15-20 rounds. I put a Crosman stock on my first one that helps the situation, but it is very annoying on this second one which I'm keeping in a pistol configuration.

Put some furry velcro on the bottom edge right behind the grip. I also molded a piece of balsa and painted it black to alleviate the sharp edge and put the velcro on top. It helps a lot. Aside from that, this gun is great. It's my second one, and I'm thinking of getting a 2400KT from Crosman's Custom Shop, which is essentially the same pistol with a few extras added on. Pyramyd's articles on these guns have been very helpful. You should check them out if you are thinking of buying either of the guns I mentioned. One more thing... these 2240s eat whatever pellets you choose to feed them. And they all hit accurately like jackhammers. One shot a couple of days ago knocked the pellet box right off the stand in my garage. That's a first after thousands of shots. OK, it was off center a bit, but still!

This is my first air pistol and I am really pleased with it totally. Very well made and is also very accurate. Is a fun too shoot pistol and can hardly wait to take it outside. Thanks to Grossman for a great product. Pdross

Not a thing.

Great feel, nice power, easy to load.

Sharp edge at base of thumb.

It's a very fun and accurate pistol.simply a joy to shoot

Nothing

Once you pick it up,it's hard to put down.

I have 5 air guns now but if I could have only one it would be the Crosman 2240. if I could give it six stars for value I would. At $60 it's just a real bargain! the power from a co2 cartridge and the .22 caliber pellet is pretty phenomenal for this price range. I've run over a thousand pellets through it without any jams or other problems. It's pretty frugal with co2 since there isn't a blowback feature. I get about 40 good shots before noticing a big power loss.

the first thing I did is remove the front blade sight and change it to a fiber optic sight I found on ebay for about 8 bucks. it made a huge difference in accuracy.

there is a lot of aftermarket support for this gun as far as upgrades and other gadgets you can buy for it. Some of them cost more than the gun does itself which is a little over the top.

Very fun to shoot. Acurrate enough for plinking and target shooting at 15 yards. Good power.

Rough and heavy trigger pull. Rear sight needs more adjustment.

Rear sight does not have enough adjustment for a 15 yard sight in. Mine is an inch high at 15 yards with rear sight bottomed out.

This gun is a pleasure to shoot. Very accurate. I bought the scope mounts and fitted it with a 2x scope and at 30 feet I was amazed at the accuracy of this gun. If you have sausage fingers like me it's a little difficult to load, but otherwise make sure you have plenty of CO2 and pellets on hand because it's hard to put this gun down. Oh and this gun can be customized if you want to make it super good looking and accurate!

A better mounting of the barrel. Even with all screws tightened down barrel can be moved side to side.

Like I said, they make grips, actions, and such to customize this into a first class shooter!

shoots decent out of the package and that you can up grade it

sights has room for improvement, without adding to cost

this is a fun little gun, that you can upgrade if you wish, needs better sights on it

This is my first CO2 air pistol. Seems it has been around forever and for good reason It is easy and fun to shoot. My brother-in-law is and avid shooter of both handguns and rifles and was able to shoot quarter sized groupings at 20 feet right out of the box. Now with a little instruction I am able to keep them in a two inch circle. For the price you can't go wrong. Also there are dozens of Utube videos on every aspect of the gun.

Think I am too much of a novice to find fault with the gun. However I wish is was a little quieter.

Good reliable CO2 carbine (with 1399 stock). Quite accurate shooter, light weight, easy to pack. Can plink at soda cans past 80 yards with little trouble using a good rest and with the 1399 stock, steel breach kit, and longer barrel. I have had my 2240 for a while now, and it was the best CO2 Carbine I had, mine has a steel breach, 1399 stock and 12 inch barrel. Now only my Crosman 2400KT is better in value and ability than my Crosman 2240.

Offer it with the 1399 stock, 14.6 inch barrel, adjustable trigger, and steel breach kit for under $90, making it competitive with the Crosman 2400KT for price vs features. This value difference is the only reason that the 2240 got a 4 star on "Value for Money" from me.

Loading pellets is made easier by pointing the muzzle up at about a 30 degree angle and placing the skirt of the pellet around the bolt probe, then closing. The steel breach kit makes a huge positive functional difference. For me the Crosman 2240 is not that great as a pistol, though as a carbine it is hard to beat. In my view it is better than the Crosman 2289.

22 CAL VERY ACCURATE,NICE GUN

LITTLE BIT MORE POWER

Everything!!! Accurate inexpensive dozens of mods available

The screw that retains the breech inside. Hard to load pellets sometimes.

After full mods, my favorite gun.

Unable to evaluate this product. The pellet pistol was inoperable out of the box. I returned the pistol to Crosman warranty department three days after I received the pistol in the mail. I am waiting feedback from Crosman.

pretty powerful

front sights on cricked

really loud not back yard friendly sounds like 22 shorts from a pistol

Nice single shot pistol, accuracy seems quite good. Fit and finish is solid. I have two and plan to go with one as pistol and second as carbine (with a 14" or 18" barrel and maybe the metal breech kit) and have already put the rifle stock and a 3x7x20 scope on that one. The other will be shot as a pistol for now.

Some sort of a clip arrangement for repeater action would be cool.

I don't have a chrony, but can tell from shooting into whitewood plank that power is good (and consistent) and soda/beer can bottom end shots are easy at 50-60 feet (round bottom can end is a nice target size at 50 feet, and as a bonus the cans "dance")!!!. Have shot the four different pellets in the benjamin 4 pack sampler, and several crosman premier styles and no complaints about any.....but I would lean toward the dome style at around 15 grains from early results. Pyramid was "fast and furious" with shipping and delivery, even with budget shipping, well packed and in fine condition - and easily outdid a certain bigbox store that could not fulfill the order and were cancelling (only to have it arrive a couple weeks after I thought it was cancelled - which is why I have two). I will be buying from PA much more often in the future. AND the customer service reps are very quick and courteous. I am a target shooter and only hunt that which I would eat, but rats suffer greatly!!

It's a really powerful air pistol for the price range. Very nice air pistol for target shooting.

I wished it wouldn't be a single shot, maybe add a magazine to the gun. But it is a really good target pistol.

it holds co2 for a long period , shoots great 2, powerful gun be carful with it, its cost is about 60.00

nothing

nothing

Bought this to practice when I do not have time to go to the range. Best $60.00's I ever spent on practice and fun. Right out of the box shot straight and true. Only thing I did was add a drop of hot pink nail polish on front sight.

Would like to see a more durable paint around trigger guard. Paint started flacking right away.

I am having great results using H&N Field Target Trophy and Sport pellets.

Pistol is good, Thank you!

I bought this gun from Pyramyd years ago, not sure how many at least 6 or 7 but just never got around to reviewing it. I mean why review something that is sort of a top iconic product. This is one of those things that I doubt you could improve much with out a major change in design. Simply a great classic gun.

Very little. Maybe offer a production model with the steel breech rather than having to order it from Crosman and install it yourself. Still, you can get the breech.

What else should airgunners know? Just that this is a great gun. Not really any down side.
