Page 16 - Crosman 2240 Reviews

Price, accuracy, reliability, and ease of maintenance! Within 30 yards very accurate, my 2240B can still shoot .5 inch groups and hit cans with ease. 2240C also shoots .5 inch groups and smaller.

make a shrouded barrel version for higher price.

Buy this, it is affordable, accurate, and powerful. If you have one great decision!

the gun is one of the best co2 pellet pistols i ever bought the balance , accuracy ,power is great

i wld love if this thing came with a clip, then i cld be like billy the kid or the duke

this thing is powerful so do let kids pick this gun up and play with it .

Powerful, excellent design, accurate, looks good and feels good in the hand. The grips are actually quite comfortable for plastic grips.

I wish the bolt would stay open when the breech is opened. A little bit lighter trigger would suit my style better.

I have had this for about three weeks, 250 shots put thru it. It has taken me a while to get used to the proper sight picture for the distance I am shooting but then that is part of the fun of learning a new gun. I get about 40 good shots on a powerlet but the gun shoots hard and it is moving a big pellet so I guess that is why the shot count is a little low. Once I get the sights figured for a particular distance, this gun is quite accurate. Great value for the money! Do watch the video review for this pistol, which explains that the first shot on a new CO2 cartridge is always a dud. I would have thought something was wrong if I wasn't expecting that in advance.

Everything about it is great. Totally reasonable price, very powerful, accurate.

Nothing

I bought this gun for my Dad who is pushing 70 years old. He lit up like a little kid when he got it! He's a great shot too- and this gun makes it easy. The big 22 slugs load smoothly.

Very accurate,feels great in your hand right out of the box! I love the fact that you mod this gun out! The C02 is easy to get to and change! Has an easy trigger thats smooth! I own 2 of these one in .177 in a pistol with a BSA scope, my second is a .22 carbine with a Center Point rile scope! Both have 10'' barrels! I have run all grain and size pellets though both and never had to adjust sighting with in 45 yrds! A true small game hunter!

Put a steel breach on it instead of plastic as the base model!

Highly accurate with all barrels! Donot buy without a steel breach kit for .177 or .22! Longer the barrel the more feet per second and foot pounds! This gun in both .177 and .22 like heavy lead pellets....

I like everything about the crosman 2240. Acurate,reliable, not too costly, and lots of available custom modifications. Looking at the two 2300s now, a little more expensive but already have some upgrades, steel grooved breach, ect. I like crosman and metal guns, have a pretty nice collection of vintage metal guns, they can be re-built over and over, as long as parts are avalable.

Should come with a groved metal breech.

Metal, metal, metal, cared for and sometimes not, it last. Plastic gets broken and damaged from heat, chenicals, and mistreatment. If you collect and a new plastic gun comes out that you like, buy two, chances are it won't be in production long.

Power, price, accuracy. Lots of full power shots per cartridge. Best value of all my air guns. Feels good in your hand (I am a lefty, not all guns are good left or right handed).

If I were in charge of Crosman I would figure a way to make it a "Repeater"...

According to some experts leaving a CO2 cartridge in the gun doesn't hurt a thing. I have left a bottle with maybe half in the tube for days; and then gone back and shot the gun with no problems. The system doesn't leak at all. Unopened CO2 lasts for years by many peoples comments on forums; so I take advantage of Pyramyd Air's price and stock up on the 40 count box.

ilove this gun ,balance perfect ,power great , well mad product

i wld make this thing a repeater ,it would be perfect

if you get this gun , get the roundball ammo easy to load and quick for shooting those nasty water bottle

I bought this 2240 because I didn't have a 22 cal. pistol powered by co2. So far this gun is quite accurate, holds it's pressure without leaking, and after 50 shots on a co2 it still shoots through both sides of a soup can! I'm happy with the gun!

It would be nice if it came with wood grips! It would also be nice if it had more visable led sites or flouresent sites!

When installing the first co2 cylander it didn't get punctured all the way and wouln't fire. I found out you have to really screw it in real tight with a big screwdriver! For some reason it took a lot of pressure. I don't know why!

Right out of the box, great feel, good fitment. No issues what so ever with the loading of the CO2 bottle. Nailing a 1" group of five from about 25 feet shooting freehand (with the stock open sights). Using Crosman Premier Domed pellets. Feels good, shoots good (powerful and accurate

If I could make it a repeater (without sacrificing anything I would. That said, "It's fine just as it is."

I have a few pistols and rifles; this is the best overall value of all. The most fun to shoot.

Useful accuracy, timeless design, and incredible aftermarket support for those who can't leave well enough alone.

I will be changing the barrel, breach, valve, trigger, grips, and finish. However... if asked what actually needs to be changed, or, what I could change that wouldn't knock it squarely out of it's extremely attractive price point... I got nothin'.

Although the finish is not as refined as the ancient 130 I'm still shooting, the build quality has not dropped a bit in 50 yrs. A superb value. I bought this one just to enjoy modding, but am now seriously considering getting another specifically to leave intact... and then try to shoot the rifling out before I turn to dust.

Light weight in hand. Rear sight is switchable from groove to peep sight. This air pistol is easily modifiable with available third party upgrades. Shoots and handles beautifully.

Nothing.

Heavier pellets require more hold over on targets at further distances, lighter pellets no so much.

This is one of the most versital guns I have ever owned. So much fun to trick out. Makes a really neat rifle with an extended barrel and stock.

Don't like the plastic breech and front sights. But for the money you can't expect it to be top quality.

Things that I like are that for the money it is a very nice buy. There are so many items on this pistol that can be customized. Straight out of the package its just so much fun to shoot. I have bought to of these 2240 and have customized both of them one with a 10 inch barrel opens sights and so much more. The second one has 14 inch barrel and allot more. Easy to load being a 22cal and its not that picky on the pellets you decide to use. Dollar for dollar I'm more than happy with this 2240 and I get about 50 shots on one co2 cart.

For what I paid for the 2240 I see nothing I would change. I see others saying wood grips, steel breech and so on. But with any improvement means more money and just being able to make changes on this pistol is just plan fun. I bought these for shooting 10mm in my garage target practice. And I'm 62 own a couple higher priced pistols like the IZH 46m that I really like but still shoot and have so much fun using the 2240.

A fantastic pistol for the money and just plan fun to targets practice with. And to me shooting and having a good time is what its all about. Enjoy and be safe.

This is without doubt one of the greatest values in air pistols today. Accurate, sturdy, easy to work on and mod. I mean, you have to make this gun miss on purpose. Sure, out of the box she's a bit rough, but a diamond in the rough. I have replaced the trigger spring with a lighter one, which improved the action a lot. I think I can get it even better in time. I put a 10" barrel on it. No way to gauge any gain in velocity as I don't own a chrony, but it sure looks and feels great. Added a steel breech and mounted a Leapers UTG red dot scope. The next thing to be replaced is the horrible grips. I have some walnut target grips from Gmac on the way. Crosman, really, you have to offer better grips than those black plastic atrocities. So, to wrap this up, my praises for this gun could go on and on. Bottom line is it is one fun gun to shoot, economical with CO2, fun to work on, and did I mention deadly uncannily accurate?

Trigger spring and grips.

BUY ONE! NOW! Then buy another to mod. There are a ton of aftermarket upgrades for this gun. I have heard it said that this pistol is the Ruger 10/22 of airguns. So have fun!

The price is hard to beat for the amount of fun you can have with these guns your whole family can enjoy without breaking the bank.

Things I usually change are trigger pull and smoothness, if the factory changes then gun will cost more.

Look around the internet and you wont believe all the info on these guns. Pyramyd Air seems to be a stand up company in my dealings with them,I've bought six pellet guns so far without any kind of problems at all, thanks Pyramyd Air.

Very good grip. easy to shoot. Very accurate.

Capacity change by a larger co2.I'd like to be manufactured in .177 also.

If you are looking for fun this is the right gun. Until 20 yards is very accurate.

Excellent right out of the box. I bought two. I use mine for target shooting and to maintain proficiency. Very accurate.

The number of shots per CO2 cartridge is lower than advertised. I believe this to be the result of over optimistic advertising rather than a fault of the pistol. Pyramyd should show more after-market products and options.

This pistol is the AR15 of the CO2 world, i.e. the most customizable CO2 pistol I have ever seen. Make this product your own by customizing it to fit. I am going to end up owning several variations. Options are practically endless.

This gun is perfect if you like to upgrade your guns. so many wonderful ad-on's. It's a great shooter too!

Not too crazy about the plastic trigger access plate. I doesn't lessen the performance or anything, I just prefer metal over plastic.

Great little gun. Very accurate, shoots hard and a lot of fun. Great price

Would be great if it came with the steel receiver instead of plastic.

Great gun at a great price.
