General Comments

In 40 years of shooting, the Crosman 2210SB the worst weapon I have ever encountered. The main problem is that the cheap "toy" plastic isn't just on the outside, but inside as well. As such, the rotary clip, and in particular the ratchets that turn it, are completely inadequate to the task of lining the clip holes accurately with the barrel, producing jams, misfires, and an occasional inability to pull the trigger without major force. Totally inconsistent in this regard, it is therefore not only inaccurate, but also dangerous. It eats C02 like an SUV swallows gas, and muzzle velocity is extremely uneven, no doubt due to the lack of decent line-up of the clip to valve and barrel. An example: One shot early on actually bounced off aluminium can!
And with a pointed pellet!
The design flaws in the gun are simply appalling, and despite many attempts to repair them, I have had no luck whatsoever. Not much one can do with cheap plastic.
Save your money and get a Sheridan, or some other single shot .22 that's made of wood and metal. Been kicking myself for not doing this ever since I purchased this Turkey.
