when i showed it to my sister-in-law, she did the Charles angles thing with it! she really liked it and said how real it seemed and heavy.

i on the other had- I had to agree!!! i really like this gun. fit's my hand nice. it did have a slow leak from the valve. easy gun to take apart and no sprong factor- ie part go flying. east to work on tightened rear of valve and had back together in 5 min, first time.

although i think it will prove bomb proof.
i did have some feed issues but i have been using some old really pitted crossman bb's so that is probably why. released follower spring, shake and good to go again.
now the great points.
flat finish seems like it will hold up well
loading? the fastest and easiest bb gun to reload i have ever had (besides the red rider)
really good reloading, so easy- did i mention that. i'ts not a hassel at all.
sites are one at about 15 meters.
good to great accuracy. minute of pop can at 15 meters all day long.
easy and i mean easy on co2. i don't shoot slowly and i had...well, i lost count how many reloads i did.6 or 7?or..
like a said lost count but way way way more that a 2240
trigger is buttery smooth, and long but not mushy and has a crisp let off.
i was shooting in the sand and always was within i pop can.
(and that was just having fun shooting, not killing myself to hit the target)

so what more can i ask for...nothing, great little bb gun that looks and feels solid
sites are on target
nice trigger
easy to service (if you ever have to)
so easy to load- no great finger dexterity needed here
looks and feel great
easy on co2

one bad point- such a nice gun deserves a flashlight or lazer!!!

if you looking for a bb gun to shoot all day long that is fun and accurate- i would denentlty suggest the colt, even over the makarov which the gloss finish seems to wear fast and shows ever tiny little fine scratch.

so in this case do you self a favor and get one, good things do come in small packages.
ps- safty can be switched off with trigger finger unlike the p-17 (marksman 2004)

I love it :lol: it's hilarious.

It's sad not to have more spong proof guns

You can’t buy a single airgun for everything. Golfers use many different clubs, airgunners need more than one gun
