You get what you pay for and I'm happy!
Had mine 6 months with varioous 177 pellets and IT NEVER JAMMED on me!
I'd wish for more power though!
I only got 1 "8" clip in my box?

I bought my Crossman 1008 seven years ago and have never had a problem with it. It's had many, many shots fired thru it and it has never jammed or failed. I take very good care of all my stuf f and it all lasts. like any gun, you've got to keep this one cleaned and well lubricated too and it will last.

For the money it works,while it is on the low end of the air gun field it works fairly good without any frills,it is not the type of gun you would hand down to your heirs,it has a very short useful life but for the money it's a bargain and cheap to replace if it breaks.

Overall i love having this gun. I liked this gun. i like it because it is a cool little gun to have The Crossman 1008 Repeater is great fun to shoot; if only the safety system worked a little better this would be a much much better gun, even without that its great.

This gun is just the average. This gun is very nice. It has great power and great style. It's not very good in the loading part. As one comenter said 'You have to re load it every eight shots' thats the not so good thing on this gun. Better to but a V-3 Gamo instead!

This gun is awesome, It has good aim good power great for killing starlings and gracols. The only bad thing being you have to reload every 8 shots.

My brother gave me one of these air pistols, it had a silver finish unlike the one shown in the picture.I found it to be difficult to fire using the built in sight, but when fired by feel "pointing relaxing and firing without looking down the sight" I found it possible to hit pop cans at about 30 meters consistently.It has broken down a couple of times over the years, the first time it was simply jammed and I had to re seat the components using a pdf schematic from the crosman si ...

I bought mine 12 years ago and it still has the power. If you take care of it it will last. I bought it from a gun store and found it works great, never jams or anything of that sort. My brother bought his at canadian tire and his has a few issues with power.

I got the Crosman 1008 Repeater for christmas 2005 in black.
I only found it accurate with the Crosman Flat heads at ten meters,
It's not that powerful but it's an airpistol so they aren't that strong anyway.
But it is nice as a first airgun.
Since then i've upgraded to the Gamo Shadow 1000 with the BSA 2-7x32 scope and belive me that's power and accuracy for ya.

I was really disappointed in this Crossman 1008 Repeater gun and am returning it in the morning. I have several other pellet and bb guns that I enjoy shooting. I know it is an inexpensive gun but it does not come close to its advertised description. My sons $15.00 toy bb gun is just as good, maybe better.

I'm shocked to see how all the reviews on this site seem to mention problems with the Crossman 1008 Repeater jamming, breaking etc. It leaves me to wonder if these reviewers are all people who have no other experience with guns or what. I've been shooting my entire life and I can say this pistol is a fine piece of equipment. I've had a 1008 for 5 years, have shot it a million times, and have never had a jam or any other problem for that matter. This gun is very powerful and as far as accurac ...

I got a Crossman 1008 Repeater a few weeks ago second hand. First look, it did look a bit flimsy as it is completely plastic.
I filled the 3 clips it came included with pointed .177 as I read on this site they were the best to use. At first, nearly every pellet jammed. I soon realised that this was only because the pellets are not easy to load into the clip. I sorted this by after loading each pellet to just push it in a wee bit with a cocktail stick. You must first make sure that you have a fl ...

I brought one of the Crossman 1008 Repeater about a year ago, for £60 witch is quit a good price. I used it for 10 yard target and shoot the can I found that it was ok for this but was lacking in power and accuracy. I found that it kept jamming, I tried to over come this by trying a range of different pellets and I found webly harries to be the best. But it did still jam but not as much as it did using other pellets
When shooting it you can feel the co2 compartment cover moving, and ...

Not bad, but again the Crossman 1008 Repeater is just a toy.
Pellets jammed on me, had problems with this pistol, sent it back and got a refund and swapped for the Walther cp99.
Aviod if possible, but perhaps you will have a better experiance than I did.
Poor workmanship, but cheaper end of scale.

For 10 meter target practice, and when temps are above 60 degrees, you can have some fun with this Crosman 1008 CO2 .177 cal repeater pistol. I play "shoot the can" with the kids. We keep popping a tin can until the 8 shot clip is empty. Who ever knocks the can the farthest wins. Not more than 1 second is allowed between shots, keeping the shooter tracing the can's movement while firing repeatedly. Lots of fun... This gun is ideal for this type of shooting and what you should try with a pistol.

I bought my Crossman 1008 repeater for £80, not bad price I thought. But when I got home to use it for the first time, I had trouble with the Pellet chamber/rotating magazine. The gun would only fire one pellet at a time. The magazine would not turn after each shot. Terribly disappointed!
Things got worst when I took it to local gunsmiths for repairs. No-one would touch it, they all said the same thing. Once you open the 1008, you'll never get it back together, too many springs inside.
