I like the fit, weight, power, and it's fun, fun, fun!!!
The Crossman & Benjamin Marriage!!!
These C02 pistols have been around forever, which speaks to their desirability. I am a Tempest fan, but when cocking barrels gets old, this little wonder picks up the slack! The Benjamin version of years past seemed to be more refined in workmanship. They have a brass barrel, which means you must take extra care when cleaning. The protective coating on the metal parts is thin, so keep up on rust prevention. This is not a "match" grade pistol. However, this is a pistol you will derive many hours, months and years worth of fun from (if maintained). I really enjoy the fit and weight. The trigger could be crisper at break, but again, not a match pistol. I find mine to be powerful and reasonably accurate. As a natural consequence of the C02, you will encounter inconsistent velocity, which equals inconsistent accuracy. We have a contest, where we staple little plastic army men to a board at 25 feet and try to pop their heads off, this gun can do it!!! With all things considered, in the $100.00 range of C02 Air guns, you really cannot go wrong these pistols. I plan to pick up the .20 and .22, just to mix things up a bit. I have to reverse my opinion on Pyramyd Air Guns, try other vendors! As always, I hope this was helpful?
