Page 17 - Crosman 2240 Reviews

Very happy with it. It is a little loud but very accurate with RWS super H point. I got the steel breech and found some nice grips for it on ebay.

Make it less loud...

You will like it a lot, buy one!

I absolutely love this pistol it is very powerful hard hitting and acurite and I really like the fact that it is mabde of mostley metal compared to some others made of plastic, it has a sturdy frame and a smooth trigger pull this gun is just a joy to shoot and its kind of hard to believe you get this kind of qaulity for the price, I would definitely reccomend it great pistol

Nothing

If you are looking for a great co2 pistol please give the crosman 2240 a try I promise you wil be very happy.

This does seem to be a nice gun as the reviews indicate. However, mine came with the front site off center. I opened the 2 allen screws on the bracket that holds the barrel in place and tried to rotate the barrel to get the site back on top. It didn't rotate very far. Maybe there are more screws up front somewhere or else the site itself needs to be repositioned on the barrel. I guess it will be workable for now - hate to go through the hassle of exchanging it. Not sure how many stars to rate it based on this. (No, it wasn't a matter of adjusting the windage, the site really wasn't mounted top dead center.)

heavy hitter with a very simple CO2 system. This pistol is also incredibly accurate. (using RWS Diabolo and meisterkugeln)

maybe the dark sights and the plastic breech area....but for $55 I really think it is very fair. It is a little loud indoors on the first 10 or so rounds too. Not firearm loud but more so than my other CO2 guns.

If you are on the fence about a .22 CO2 pistol just buy this and don't even think about it. Like the 1322 and 1377 it is a must have classic for your lineup. I couldn't be happier.

I got one of these things for the reason that they are very simple guns to mod up with more aftermarket parts available to upgrade them than any other gun on the market. has nise laminate wood target grips, plenty of stainless steel and improved light trigger, power adjuster and an MP5 collapsible stock for when I need a rifle but all I have is a pistol....and the kicker... mine is a pcp pistol, not co2.

Ow there is plenty to change and I did. First should be get rid of every scrap of cheap plastic.

A great gun for the hobbyist that wants to get all the performance they can out of a gun.

wow, feels and shoots great. Dead on target right out of the box.

nothing..I like it as it is..

A holster for this gun would be nice >>>

Fun to shoot not to expensive.

The sights are tough to use.

Shoots well and is powerful for a CO2 pistol. It is pretty accurate out of the box. Overall, I would definitely recommend this as a great base to customize or just use as an economical and fun plinker. I bought this for my dad as a birthday present and we went out and shot it for the first time this past weekend. Otherwise I would have gotten to the review sooner.

Out of the box the front site was crooked. I just gave it a little twist, but once I did I noticed that there is a set screw on the bottom of the barrel. I am sure that one could just loosen it and straighten it up. It felt as though there was a notch the sight was set into that I turned it out of.

Buy one, for the money its hard to beat, especially with the aftermarket options available.

Extremely accurate and a good pest control gun.

The plastic grips and I would add a mount to add sights

This gun is very good I bout it for around $60 and it is great very accurate and much faster to reload then the pump one. It takes about 70 shots per c02 cartridge

First, I like the price! Very good value for this pistol. I also like that it can be modified to suite each persons needs or desires. I was also impressed with the overall finish (blueing) on the gun, a good improvement here from Crosman. This is the first 2240 that I have shot or owned. I have had a Crosman 1377 (pump pistol)since I was 17 years old in 1989 and I have loved it. Now I decided to buy this pistol and I can see why it is a success. This is simply a FUN gun to shoot! It can be modified too! Anyone can change one of these basic pistols into a piece of working art if they like. I am already having a hard time trying to NOT modify this gun. My suggeston it to buy two of them if you can. Keep one stock and then modify the other one. In fact, buy three! One to keep stock, one to modify and one for your buddy to shoot when he comes over, that way you don't have to shere yours with him! Ha Ha

For the price, nothing! Well, one thing, the trigger pull seems really heavy but that is fairly easy to remedy if you are half way handy. That is usually the first thing to do the the Crosman 2240s and 1377s. They have the same grip/trigger.

Be sure to buy lots of CO2 Powerlets! I get about 30-40 shots through mine before the CO2 cartridge needs changing. I am estimating this, I never really actually counted the shots. Also know that this gun is pretty loud. If you don't want to be heard shooting in your backyard, this isn't for you. It has a nice snap from the CO2 and the short barrel. Check out The Airgun Reporters video review of this gun and you will haer what I mean. That way you can guage for yourself if it is too loud for where you will be shooting.

Balance,trigger,shots per fill.

Plastic front sight assembly. Even a die cast front sight would be better.I epoxied mine in place once I got the windage set.As received the press on front sight assembly and the barrel band were loose, tightened them and applied Locktite to the set screws.

Great value for the money. Trigger time is trigger time and this thing is turning me into a good handgun shooter. It is accurate enough to provide real data on how well you are doing.Once tuned, fliers are your fault not the gun.

I like the size and weight. Can be carried on weist Mexican Style just don't trust the safety.

Nothing. The price is right for what you get.

This is a loud pistol. But the sound mimics a real fire arm. It's got power. It will go through both sides of a tin can at 10 yard. My gun will not hold power for 60 shots as advertised. The shots it gives are powerful.

Shoots and feels great but the thing I liked most was how many mods and aftermarket parts you could buy for this gun and for very little money, anyone can own this gun.

metal breach, wood grips

Very accurate a joy to shoot. Not to loud. Good for in the basement range. I modified mine to a 1740 and added RB target grips. I also have steel breach with Red dot sight.

Lighter or adjustable trigger.

Great Gun to personalize. If you only have one make it this one.

Purchased as a base platform for modifying into a small carbine.

This is a fun little pistol

power and all the add on you can get

nothing

have fun

I like the size and weight. Very accurate and powerfull. Lots of shots per c02. Shipping is fast and the product is packed nice and tight, does not slide around in box

needs a steel breech and a better rear sight

to get the best accuracy out of the gun get the steel breech and a better sight. wood grips are also nice

I love this gun, it has lasted 3 months and nothing is broken. It feels really nice to hold and shoot, it sounds like a gun and has a decent recoil (which to me is a good thing). The bolt-action part is just awesome! Plus it looks like a Luger. it is even more powerful than some pellet rifles I've shot. The Co2 is very easy to put in with a screw driver.

The sights are not very good because they are just plastic and big, may i recommend putting a white dab of paint on the front sight. The accuracy is just a small problem but does shoot better than some pellet rifles.

It does break glass and stuff, but i guess that's expected. It is very durable, but i wouldn't go around throwing it everywhere expecting it to work.

Save a great deal of money. This is the BEST overall pistol on the market.

Better rear sight.

Great power shots, but short life of CO2. WORTH IT!

The fact that it is made in America is certainly number one for me. It is well made and fits my small hands. Having only shot it at 10 meters it is very accurate.

Trigger could be lighter and smoother. However it seems to get better with use.
