Good Points: Robust. Easy to cock. Barrel is Rifled on .22 Could be modded. Good tin can killer for back garden. If you know your stuff with a bit of work could be made to shoot smother with more power and accuracy.
Bad Points: Not that accurate without tinkering with the sights.
General comments: I have used this pistol extensively whilst working as a mink trapper for DEFRA. I was issued with this pistol as part of the kit and was expected to dispatch mink with it. It took 5 shots to the head at point blank after that I used to take an My Webley Exocet air rifle instead as that would drop them with one shot.

The good points with the Diana 5G is the fact that you don't have to buy co2,one break of the barrel load and your ready to shoot. So far there are no scope mounts available. In my opinion this is a good gun for the money. It is accurate, quick loading. I would recommend this gun for all serious airgun owners.

This is not the most accurate gun, but for the money, this is the most power with decent accuracy you will get. The adjustments on the trigger allow for "fine-tuning" that will help with accuracy.
I prefer .22 cal. because it allows me to load without looking at the pellet. I have not had any problems with this gun and would buy this brand again.

I have been shooting competition air rifles for many years now, and bought the Diana 5g about 6 years ago, as a hobby pistol. I haven't shot it all that much because the gun is rubbish. Why? because it is very inaccurate. it produces fairly large groups. but what is even worse, is that it shot about 3 feet above the target when I first got it. I have taken it back to the store once, and they admitted the problem. but it still shoots too high have heard and read about this inaccuracy problem from ...

I own a Diana 5G in nickel finish for about 7 years now and I've had a lot of pleasure with it (and still have). The full steel-construction is indestructable , also the nickel coating gives corrosion no chance. The spring pistol is average powered (125 m/s) and has a .177 caliber rifled barrel that breaks open to load. Accuracy up to ten meters is great and the optimal balanced weight gives the best to it. Rear sights are fully adjustable and can be changed between four different types with jus ...
