    Good Points: Very Accurate, Enough power to dispatch chipmunks with one shot without fail at 7 meters


    Bad Points: Not the handiest to load


    General comments: I have owned my P3 for 5 years now. I use it to rid my shed of chipmunks. It has never fail to do the job with one shot. I have shot around 50 critters with it, plus a couple of thousand pellets plinking at targets. I haven't had any trigger or seal problems with it at all

    We bought 4 for our youth group the first is still going the other 3 have been sent back to SMK about the 8th time now as they will not fire. SMK said they worked ok when they recived them so how come the same faults happen again and again. Do anyone else have trouble with SMK products as well as their after service. Let me know please be very interested

    The only thing that I could say thats bad about this gun is its slow to use. Once you have opened the top, put the pellet in then managed to force it back down agen then shoot. You have to do it all over again.
    I would recomend that people should buy this gun. Just dont be expecting to be firing 200+ shots in a minute like in the movies.

    This is my second p3 in 3 months.First one trigger froze after maybe 40 rounds.Replacement p3 shot great for first 600 rounds and then again,defective trigger-this time not frozen,trigger pulls but will release pellet at random after 10 or so pulls.If Beeman fixes the trigger problem I'll try again-but for now I'm done with this pistol

    This gun rocks. This gun is awesome it is almost like a real gun so this is not for target shooting or for shooting in the basement this thing is for hunting.it can shoot down a squriell in 1 shot and has great accuracy.
    It only shoots caliber bullets and you have to but in 1 bullet at a ime

    I bought this gun a week ago. when i first took it out of the box i fired 5 or 6 shots and the seals blew. so i brought it back and exchanged it for another one. when i got the second one it fired accurately and the seals lasted for a few days of shooting. then the trigger mechanism messed up and it wouldent fire after being pumped. the only thing you can do to fix this is pump it one more time. when you do this it is realy hard on the seals. then it will work for a few more shots and the same p ...

    As a paper puncher, it's a great pistol (albeit pricey). According to Dr. Beeman's published figures, only 2-3 ft/lbs. of energy is needed to dispatch a squirrel within the kill zone (brain). Despite the very accurate performance of the P3, its power simply isn't enough for pest control at any range.

    I put a BSA red dot onto mine, and it performs great. Easy to cock, very accurate. The trigger is definitely the best feature of the gun. While this is NOT the same gun as the $40 Chinese kn ...

    Its an all around great gun. Powerful-410fps, quiet, reliable, and deadly accurate-(especially with the 2x20 scope on the combo)-When I say "deadly accurate" I'm not saying this pistol is for hunting-its not.. Its for targets & plinking and it is a BLAST. Just thumb down what looks like the silver cocking lever in back & the whole top of the gun opens & swings up and all the way forward--put a pellet into the back of the barrel nose first and swing back down & 'click" shut. Could not be more use ...

    The Beeman P3 and the Marksman 2000 are identical, the only difference being Wal-Mart doesn't carry the Beeman.

    I've owned and shot both with equally dismal results. The Beeman eats piston seals for breakfast. Mine blew two in less than a week and that was maybe after 50 pellets. On the positive side, you can't miss the target. It is accurate. Loading the pellet is somewhat awkward which makes quick reloads a non-event. Mine also suffered from the "paint" blues. The barrel is painted w ...

    This Beeman P3 really is a great pistol and one I highly recommend. It handles really nice with great power and unbelievable accuracy. It's so accurate you don't need a scope / red dot on it and are still able to hit your require spot.
    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

    Could someone out there please let me know if the Beeman 2004e is the same gun as the P3 ???.I know it imitates the HW40, I bought a 2004e a week ago and and have been breaking it in ,about 300+ shoots so far with different types of pellets. It seems to like the round nose one's and also I tried some Gamo round lead through it with some good results (loading was easier with gamo round). Took about 20 shoots to eye in the sights (I'm 60 and not so steady as I once was but I still got good result ...

    The Beeman P3 is quite a good entry level gun, quite accurate. The great thing is that you don't need co2 witch makes it a lot cheaper to run. But being a ssp gun it is only single shot witch makes shooting it a bit slow. But you don't use as many pellets as you would use normaly with a co2 gun. The only problems are that you need to clean and lube the cylinder regularly and the breach is hard to get to. Over all I think that it is a good entry level gun

    The Beeman P3 requires regular replacement of piston seal and removal of accumulated lubricant in compression cylinder which causes misfires. Positive click-stop rear sight adjustment for elevation. Very accurate. pass this up and consider a CO2 or spring air pistol.

    I purchased the Beeman P3 gun to replace my Crossman pump pistol. I use it primarily for target shooting. However, I do use it for hunting birds, chipmunks etc. I wanted something for up close range. It has decent sites, good accuracy. It's hard to load, especially if you are in a rush, but it's manageable. I use pointed pellets to get the penetration I wanted. Overall, I like the gun, I just wish it had a little more power.

    After reading so many terrific reviews of the Beeman P3 air pistol, and wanting something quiet to shoot inside my apartment, I bought the Beeman P3 without hesitation.
    Opening the box, just one look told me I'd purchased a class act. Made from some sort of molded polymer over a steel frame, the gun has no appearance - or feel - of plastic. It FEELS metallic.
    Hefting it for the first time, the impressive weight of the gun made it seem like the real thing, and it didn't look like an air gun eit ...

    I have read many reviews on the Beeman P3 air pistol, and I can see that it is a great gun. I've heard many great things as well as a few bad ones. I have heard that the seal goes very quickly, and that it isn't powerful at all. I cannot decide if I want the Beeman P3 or the A-3000 Skif. One is very accurate, but the other is powerful and seems really cool. Please tell me which you think is better. Thanks.

    The Beeman P3 is accurate up to 25m (if not exactly powerful). The safety button is very unconvenient, at least for those right-handed like me, because it's impossible to operate it with the same hand holding the gun. The Walther-P99-like grip is comfortable but not apt for single-handed shooting, and the fake slide-lock lever could be avoided. The muzzle features a sort of compensator, whose effectiveness is doubtful. Sights are OK, and so is reliability. In Italy it costs about €140 - a sum wo ...
