Crosman Airguns- 2240 .22 Single Shot CO2 Pellet Pistol

Bought this two weeks ago and it has been a blast to use. The accuracy of this is top notch with about a 1/2" to 3/4" grouping. I have been using it at about a 13'-0" range and even fired it at about 27'-0" and still do not notice any difference in accuracy. Where I shoot, I can get roughly 50 /- pellets per Co2 cartridge (area is about 55 degrees in temp. /-). Trigger pull seems to be a little heavy but with some range time can get use to. Easy to install Co2 cartridge with no need for a screw driver to tighten cartridge cap. Also has the right amount of recoil for a beginner. I highly recommend this pellet pistol for the novice or experienced user do to upgrade capability.

Just got mine today. I swapped out the plastic breech and added Crosman's steel breech and a Leapers red/green dot scope. I used Benjamin Discovery 14.3 grain pellets and got good tight 5" shot groups at 25 ft handheld. The trigger is tight, but very little creep. I soon learned where it broke. You can feel and hear the spring just at the break point, which was a bit distracting. I will be remedying that with some aftermarket equipment soon. Another part I will be replacing, is the grips. They do not fit my hand well, and are not very comfortable. Replacing the breech was pretty simple, even for a mechanical klutz like me. I love this gun already and it is fun to shoot. I can't wait to trick this pony up! If you are thinking of getting one, then stop wasting time reading this and go get one!

I used the pistol out of the box and found it accurate and powerful. The sights while "Ok" can be enhanced by adding a fluorescent Red tip to the front sight and fluorescent green tips to the rear sights. For an old guy like me going on 70, I found this improved my acquiring a target and the accuracy of my shots. With the mods, I was able to place 6 of 6 shots into a Bone Collector Pellet Trap 5.5 in. sq. from a distance of 15 yards. One bullseye in the 10 ring, 2 in the 7 ring, 1 in the 6 ring, and 2 in the 4 ring of the target. The gun felt comfortable in my hand (a little tight) and I used a weaver stance while shooting.

This air pistol is one of the best guns to own. It is a great starter gun out of the package and has so many after market parts available that you can turn it into almost any gun you want. Getting started down that road can end up costly, but a ton of fun.

This item is just as powerful as a .22 short! The pellets hit hard on a fence from far away! A must to buy for home defense and small game!

Excellent gun. It is precise, powerful and lightweight.

A very powerful and accurate pistol. For the price and the mods availible the 2240 makes it the perfect platform for a awesome and expensive air gun.

This is a classic airgun. Highly modifiable with both crosman and aftermarket parts. A joy to shoot not a CO2 Hog.

guys i have owned this gun for about 8 years.it still shoots as good as the day i got it. it is accurate hits hard and is easy to use, also very easy on the co2 , i have never counted how many shots per cartrige but it is a lot ! if it ever does break i am going to get another one the next day. yea the grips are plastic but they feel good to your hand. i really don"t think you can do better than this one especiallt for the money . get one you won"i be dissapointed . i have more guns than anyone needs haha but this one is by far the most fun and cheapest to shoot.also i have left the co2 cartrige in the gun for weeks and it doesn"t leak any air out; happy trails

I purchased the 2240 mainly because I ordered a custom one and wanted to see the difference. With stock sights the gun will shoot as well as you can see. I have a 15 yard range in my basement and 90% of shots fall into 8 ring or closer not bad! Power seems real good and steady for at least 60-70 shots then falls off. No co2 leaks just remember to put a drop of oil on the tip of cartridge prior to installing. Real fun gun.

For the price you can't beat the 2240, very accurate with the crosman primer hollow points, its just one of those guns that you don't want to put down!

Gun arrived today. Solid feel and weight. No time to really sight it in. I ordered it to help me eliminate the roof rats destroying the vine structure on my house. Loaded gas cylinder and dry fired with no pellet. Load gas sound, but that made me pretty sure this guy could do the job. Went outside, loaded pellet, put flashlight on vine. Rat made the mistake of standing still and not moving. Got Gamo .22 pellet in return. Gun seems like it will be a solid addition to garden shed for long time.

Ordered christmas night recieved dec.29.Which is fast in my book.shoots and handles great.it took about 60 rounds to settle in.but now will shoot a golfball sized group with crosman premier hollow points all day at 20ft.would be smaller but until this morning i hadnt picked up a pistol in about 10 years.hits plenty hard as is for rabits,rats,or mr.bushy tail.though these can be beefed up really easy

Solid, well-made pistol. Accurate!

I last commented on this GREAT air pistol on August 1st.. I spent a few days playing with it, tweaking it throughout the last months, and found a very accurate, enjoyable air gun. I replaced nothing so far, and the gun functioned flawlessly on three different pellets, yielding one inch groups at 10 meters. The gun's comfortable grip with a fully adjustable rear sight gives plenty of flexibility for different sight pictures. Very usable sights. 40-50 solid shots per CO2 cartridge. Mine shot Crosman Premier Hollow points, Crosman Pointed Hunter, and Daisy Max Speed Wadcutter in 1-2 inch groups from 8-12 meters. If you are truly interested in a quality consumer level CO2 pellet air pistol in .22 to learn how to shoot, this is it. Buy a few!!! One for parts you know!

I have owned both the .177 caliber and .22 caliber version of this pistol for around 6 years, I have killed jack rabbits, prairie dogs, squirrels, numerous birds, skunks, crows, and even opossums with this pistol, and I used the .177 caliber version as a 10 meter competition pistol, and placed in the top 5 four years in a row in the Wyoming 4-h shooting sports competition. This gun is accurate and dependable. keep all the screws tight, maybe use some lok tight, and its good. And also, if your not competent enough to figure out how to adjust the sight on this pistol, YOU SHOULDN'T BE HANDLING ANYTHING THAT FIRES A PROJECTILE. Its simple, two screws, one windage, one elevation. Loosen them, move the sight, and tighten it. I chronographed the .22 cal, at a little over 7,000 ft elevation mine shot 421 fps to 433 fps (12 fps variation) with 10 shots on a fresh cartridge and 14.3 grain pellets. Great pistol.

shoots very well after sighting in. settled down after about 100 rounds. shoots crosman premier hollow points the best of 2 different pellets i have tried so far. gets lots of shots per co2 cartridge.

After a couple of adjustments the 22 shot what I was aiming at. 30 yards away.

Ok. The very first shot @ 6 ft. w/Crosman pointed field hunting pellet, ZERO. At 12 ft, way off to the left and high. At 36 ft, (12 yds.) no group to be seen. Conclusion; gun shook out of calibration. Took a good look at it and noticed EVERYTHING was not balanced. Barrel band was tightned so as to promote stress on barrel, front sight a tad off center; trigger and grip frame are not shaped correctly. OK..fine, now what?!?!?! Send it back? Naaa. The gun grouped after settling down despite these issues. Rear sight cannot accomodate adjusted point of aim. So....I have an adventure ahead with this. Power is great. Trigger is Great. Rear sight to be determined if it is useful. I'm a huge fan of Crosman, and i hope I can use my limited talent to make this gun a winner. We'll see in round two..I will post....

It is a forceful weapon for its size, is very easy to handle, his gun a little short but gives good satisfaction, the CO2 is maximized.

Let me first say that the guys at Airgun Depot Rock ! They really know how to take care of their customers, and have certainly earned my loyalty. After researching the 22XX series on line, I knew I had to have one, and it's everything I expected. Trigger needed a little tuning, but is still an excellent gun for the price.Crosman hit a home run with this series. Can't wait to up-grade it with steel breech and better rear sight ( tons of hop-up parts and accessories on-line). I allready got one of my friends interested and after shooting it, he wants one too, so I'll be ordering another 2240 for him along with a 2260 for myself.

Bought this one because of the similarity between it and my old Ruger MK1. Found that there's a serious difference in balance. This one feels barrel heavy because the charge goes in below the barrel whereas the Rugar was inside the handle. Threw my marksmanship all out.

The gun is very accurate for outdoor plinking. The only complaints we have are the plastic grips and the amount of effort it takes to pull the trigger. Other than that, it kicks like a mule and we (father and son) are having a great time.... although it's a bit heavy for my 8 year old.

Had this for 3 wks. now. Amazing power and accuracy for the money. Lots of mods available with how to's and detailed instructions online. Added an auto-load breech with 25 rnd magazine, new hammer and trigger springs, boss valve, longer bolt and power adjust cap. 10 fpe at 25 ft. I was so impressed with this pistol and the service I got from Airgundepot, I bought the 2250XT and I can't wait for it to arrive!

Got mine on friday! very awesome! works great even in cold weather! i love it!

It's rude, crude and LOUD, but it hits like a sledgehammer and very accurate. If you're older, it's really hard to see the front sight. If you're left handed, I don't think the safety and grips are set up well. Both of these apply to me, but I still really like this gun, and I will probably get another one and start in on the customizations.

I was looking for something small to control rabbits around the house. I chose .22 caliber for the heavier round at close range. Power seems decent, although I haven't used it a great deal. Good buy for the money.

I JUST RECEIVED MY 2240 AND AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE PERFORMANCE AND ACCURACY. I QUICKLY PUT IT TO THE TEST AGAINST MY .177 BEEMAN P3 AND THE VELOCITIES BEING EQUAL... THIS BABY PENETRATED 250 PAGES OF A PHONE BOOK AGAINST 67 PAGES FROM THE BEEMAN P3. IF YOU WANT TO POP VARMITS THIS BABY WILL DO IT. HOWEVER, THE DOWN SIDE, IT IS VERY LOUD IN COMPARISON TO THE P3 AND THE TRIGGER PULL REQUIRED 2 MEN AND A SMALL BOY! THE TRIGGER MUST BE PART OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM :-) IF IT IS ACCURACY AND POWER YOU WANT FOR LOW $$$s, THIS GUN IS HIGHLY RATED. BEAUTY ISN'T EVERYTHING AND A HOME INTRUDER FACED BY THIS PISTOL BEST BE WARNED. IT'S GONNA HURT BIG TIME!

I am very pleased with the quality of this pistol and am amazed at its affordability. It shot a consistent grouping of 2.5 inches at 20 yards shooting freehanded right out of the box. Who says their aren't any bargains let.

I purchased this to replace one I wore out. Liked it so much wanted another one just like it. An excellent weapon for casual plinking and chasing rock squirrels out of my yard here in the desert southwest.

I've owned this gun for many years now. It's by far the most accurate air pistol I've owned. Being left handed, the right side bolt makes for quik & easy reloading. The ambidextros grips are very comfortable. After over 5000 rounds I can leave a CO2 cartridge in and it still doesn't leak!

this gun is my most powerful pellet gun. and the 22. makes a big differance in power.i usually shoot squirrels and the first one i shot with this gun took 3 shots but the squirrel was a tough little buggar and he didn't really wanna die. but all in all this gun is great for pest control and just shooting for fun. and at 460fps you don't wanna be in the fireing line of this gun.:P

Real nice gun. Has a solid feel and is very accurate. Great for rodents and small game.

I like this gun a lot. I do wish it came with better grips and a steel breech. Convenient that Crossman sells a steel breech to replace the plastic stock part. But overall it is a lot of fun to use, and well, customize.

this gun is the most accurate gun that i have ever. if you've ever played a war game with a pistol this is just like that. i shot a squirrel from about 100 feet away. this gun gets capitalized. AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!

If you like powerful accurate pellet guns you probably already own this gun. This gun is the most modified CO2 pistol on the net. With proper mods this gun can exceed 600fps. AWESOME!!!!

I was given the original model by someone- '300 Pellgun' it was called. It got stolen, bu tnow I have the new version of the same gun. Both the old and the new were/are of high quality,accuracy, and power. An excellent gun, for sure! A bargain

I'm convinced that this pistol, especially considering the price, is among the finest, and more accurate, of pellet pistols. I set up a small range in the cellar and shoot only targets for fun. Another likable option is that a 2240 can easily be modified/customized. My older eyes don't focus on open sights, and so, I ordered a steel breech kit from Crosman so that I could install a red dot sight, and now I can pretty much blast away the bullseye from 24 feet, consistently. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase of this thoroughly enjoyable pistol.
