Good Points

Illuminated sights gives a good sight picture and very helpful to my old eyes. Trigger adjustment is a nice feature

Bad Points

Cocking pistol is a real bear. Very disappointed gun not made in 22 caliber. The fact it won't take a scope is also disapponting.

General Comments

The literature that came with Diana P5 Magnum lacks detail. Example making trigger adjustments. Also gun comes with front barrel weight detached from gun. My gun was missing a very thin washer that needs to be fitted to barrel weight but dealer stated it wasn't a big deal. Once again lack of detail from RWS on adding barrel weight was disappointing.
I have enjoyed shooting the pistol and I am pleased with it's accuracy and balance in my small hands.
I believe it was a good value for the $190 I spent for this pistol. My ideal was to improve my pistol shooting skills at lowest cost possible but I wanted an air pistol that had the same features as my hand guns. I believe this pistol was an excellent choice.

    Cocking pistol becomes easier as the weapon is broken in. It has nothing to do with exercise as the only exercise I get is carrying the caskets of my friends that exercise.
    Safety release in trigger housing is okay but it points up the fact that inexperienced people need to be made aware that once you push up on the release pistol is ready to fire. There are no other visble indicators to tell you that gun is ready to fire.
