Crosman 2240 Overview:
The Crosman 2240 Air Pistol is a pistol shooters dream come true. The 2240’s features improved bolt design for easy cocking and the well balanced feel will leave you with an empty can of pellets before you know it. The 7.5″ rifled steel barrel produces superb accuracy and an impressive 460 fps, so it is perfect for target shooting and small pests. The grips are ergonomically designed and have ambidextrous thumb rests, so both right and left hand shooters will find the 2240 comfortable to shoot. The wide breech area allows for easy loading, and an easy access 12g CO2 cartridge compartment make extended shooting sessions easier.

This gun, in 22 cal, is a great addition to our basement bb/pellet gun shooting range. Haven’t tried squirrel hunting with it yet but I think it would do the job. Fun to shoot.
Baylor Sage –
It performed as expected and was a pleasure to use.

I received this as a birthday gift and I am very happy with the quality and function of this Air Pistol. For the price, it will be hard to find better. Mine shoots a little high and to the right, so I simply adjusted the rear sight to correct. Nice easy adjustments. The rear sight allows for both windage and elevation adjustments. The rear sight comes with both a peep and notch sights. This pistol uses 12 gram CO2 cylinders and I get about 30 or 40 shots per. I have tried a number of brands/weights/styles of pellets and so far, the Benjamin 14.6 gr hunters seem to be the most accurate in my pistol, yielding 5 shot groups of about 1.5 inches at 30 feet shooting off-hand in doors at about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. I haven’t chronographed the pistol yet, but suspect that the advertised 460 fps may be just a bit optimistic. The ambidextrous grips are molded plastic, comfortable, and allows for a good grip. The receiver, sights, barrel band, and grips are plastic, but the rest is either steel or white metal. Good fit and finish. The barrel is lathe turned and has a reasonable blued finish. The trigger on mine is not adjustable and has little travel and no creep, but is a bit heavy, say about 5 pounds of pull (guessing as I have no way to measure it). A quick internet search yields a number of sight, barrel, and receiver upgrades. I plan to replace the polymer receiver with the Crosman steel receiver upgrade, Williams rear and Tru-glo front sights, or possibly a scope. Wood grips in a variety of styles and finishes can be found on-line so you can customize to your heart’s desire. All-inall, this is one fun pistol with a lot of potential at a great price.

I’ve been a Crossman fan for close to 50 yrs. And have passed respect for the product on to son and daughters. They have been one to rely on to perform and last.Money well spent.
