“One good point is that I paid $90.00 for this gun....”

Good Points
The EB22 feels good in the hand, has nice heft and is fairly accurate. CO2 lasts a good while, muzzle report is satisfyingly loud. Looks so very nice in photographs.

Bad Points
Crude is the only way to describe this gun. Especially the grip frame. The mould marks are extremely bad. No attempt was made to grind them down to enhance looks and feel. Some areas are very sharp and uncomfortable. Whatever finish used on metal parts has runs and did not take on one area of CO2 chamber.
Wood grips, while nice and made from Walnut are crudely made and ill fitting.
Benjamin talks about the precision work in this pistol. My question is; where the heck is it.?

General Comments
One good point is that I paid $90.00 for this gun. Most other stores were $107.00 to $120.00. This helps swallow some of the crudeness.

A price of 40 to $50.00 is more in line with the quality of this piece.



Now after all this negativity... I like this gun. It's powerful, shoots better than I do.
