Do not buy,not accurate,get a Benjamin or Gamo break barrel
Pros
None
Cons
Piece of s#@t
I put a steel breech, target sights, a target trigger spring and a 12" barrel on my 25 year old gun. One tack driving old timer! Got the current off the shelf version so that I can also have the compact size. Both are simply wonderful.
Pros
The Crosman 2240 is one of the best air pistols on the market. It is pleasantly compact for an air pistol, while being quite potent for its size. Very accurate and remarkably reliable, I have one that was made 25 years ago that works like new to this day.
Cons
None. If you find something that you don't like, you can get aftermarket parts and modifications very readily. Super simple design allows for easy maintenance when needed.
Oil it before shooting.
Pros
A fun gun
Cons
No replacement o-rings included
Get a good Allan wrench set from Home Depot. Everything else is on eBay. Mine has a small laser mounted on the breech. This is a great platform to begin with.
Pros
Inexpensive platform to begin modifications because many up grades are available.
Cons
Things I have changed: New, and beautifully crowned 8 inch barrel. Left handed bolt in an anodized aluminum dovetail breech (lighter weight than steel). Fluted hammer with heavier hammer spring. Brass barrel band, brass caps, brass trigger, brass safety, and a brass. Max power valve with a wider, fully sealed transfer port. Now shooting 29.5 grain .22 bullets at over 420 FPS for about 12 FPE. Will fully penetrate 0.5 inches of pine at one meter (yard).
great target pistol
Pros
one of my favorites
Cons
nothing
Quite possibly the best pellet pistol in it's price range. Everyone should own at least two, as I do. Fun gun. Accurate, powerful and good looking.
Pros
Everything
Cons
Nothing
really fun gun!
Pros
Solid, balanced feeling gun, I am a lousy shot, but I still managed a degree of accuracy with this gun.
Cons
I am no expert, but I'd say don't change a thing.

Pros
Powerful, and reliable, the Crossman 2240 Pellet Pistol is the way to go for years of shooting.
Cons
Maybe to much plastic but still the pistol preforms very well.
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Where can i get the optional salt attachment for this gun?
asked michael from USAwhat is the replacement seal-o ring for the bolt?
asked Charles from USACan this pistol kill rats of no ?
asked Armando from USACan this pistol be mailed directly to my home.
asked Nick from USAIf you live in the United States, yes.
Douglas from USACan you get replacement front sight?
asked Marty from CanadaWhere can I get longer barrels and shoulder stock?
asked Stephen from USACheck on Ebay
Wyman from USAWhat size co2 does it take
asked Shawn12g CO2 CARTRIDGES
Wyman from USAHow do I get an 18â€barrel
asked Chrids MurrayCan this model be fitted with the shoulder stock as other Crossnan pistols?
asked Jim FleigerAbsolutely, the shoulder stock for the 1377 .177 version Crosman fits exactly, with only two screws . Remove hand grips and the stock fit perfectly on mine. It also improved accuracy tremendously for Long range targets. Basically turns it into a carbine type rifle when using the stock.
Steven from USACan this gun be fitted with a laser sight?
asked BobIs there a way to change the front sight? It is very difficult to see the sight tip as it has no color for visibility unless one gets in a lite area where they can see the black pin (tip of sight) centered with the rear sight.
asked Merlinwhat is the longest distance this gun will shoot at?
asked patricia from USAAlso added the shoulder stock increased my accuracy to pin point bullseye shots using the .22 Excite lead pellets.
Steven from USAUnmodified I would say for plinking with open sights about 60 feet or 20 yards.
Travis from USA100 yards
AJ from USAApprox. how many good shots do u get out of a cartridge? Thanks
asked Robert from USAI get 8, then falls off dramatically
wayne from USAI would say 35 "good shots" 45 if you are punching paper of pop cans. After 35 the velocity starts to drop, I wouldn't recommend it for pest control after those first 35 shots.
Parker from USA40 highly accurate shots. I change after 40 although there are perhaps 10-20 more -- decreasingly accurate -- shots possible.
JCPRioI get about 70 shots per CO2 cartridge. I always put a drop of Pellgun oil on the tip of each CO2 cartridge before inserting it into the gun. This oil keeps the seals pliable and preserves them.
Jose from USA40-45 tops. Anyone telling you more is questionable,
Anthony from USASeveral things influence such as temperature, rate of fire and break in.
Ronald from USAUm-modded, about 40 to 45 Good shots..modded 20 to 25 with double the f.p.s..and higher impact force of course!
Marilyn from USABy good shots I'll assume you mean shots BEFORE dropping from lack of CO2 pressure, and that varies between 18 and 29 on mine and the variance depends on pellets used as well as how long it sits between shots and air temp too.
Edward from USA35ish ...
NPHow long can you leave the CO2 cartridge in the gun and still have it function?
asked Monty JohnsonAs long as needed, just make sure you pellgun oil the tip before you insert the cartridge. If you only shoot maybe 30 pellets and there is still co2 inside, just leave in tube til next shooting.
Joseph from USABest to not leave cartridge in for a couple days, to avoid damage to the seals.
Ronald from USAI only leave mine in overnight sometimes, and have had no problems or leakeage.
Marilyn from USAIs it powerful enough to kill opossums or small varmints and game? Because there some squirrels digging in my moms garden and I want to blast em. plus there has been a humongous rat the size of a opossum and I want to know if I can kill a animal that big with a .22 2240 pellet pistol
asked JohnYes..ive killed turkey out to 30 yards with my modded 2240 with no problem..
Marilyn from USAThe first couple of shots at less then 25ft. will KILL small varmints
Tom from USAWhat is meant by max/cap of 60 shots. Does that mean a magazine holding 60 pellets and feeds with each bolt action?
asked AnthonyThere is no magazine. This is a single-shot pistol only.
JayboIt means that each 12 gram co2 capsule will provide 60 shots. As a stock gun I found the gun to get about 40 shots. This is a great shooter for the money.
Phillip from USAavg. shots per co2 cart.
mike from USACould this handgun kill a normal bird like a robin?
asked ChristianPlease don't kill songbirds, it's illegal. Check with your local wildlife officials as to what is legal in your area to hunt or dispatch as a "pest."
Parker from USAYes, with proper shot placement you this gun is capable of a lot. That being said, why would you shoot a robin? They are protected as a song bird. The 2240 is a great gun that is easy to mod/improve.
Phillip from USAIs scope mount available? What is price of metal breach?
asked RussellYes, for stock 2240 you can buy the 429 intermounts that mount on barrel. Or you can buy a replacement steel receiver/ breech that has a mount on top ( you lose the rear sight). Steel receiver is around $37.99.
Joseph from USAlook up Crosman steel breech kits, they run around 35-40$, more if you get them from other sites. Once modified you"ll have 11mm dovetail rails, if you want weaver/picatinny then there are adapters to change the dovetail to aforementioned mounts.
Parker from USAMetal breach is $37.99 here at AD!
Ronald from USAYes, with a steel Breech..or u can go with a brass or aluminum breech, i went with a brass breech for my 2240 i bought here..Best custom breechs ive found come from Alchemy Airwerks! That is where i got the 1 in this pic for $66.00, the breech u can buy here is just as good, just not brass or aluminum!!
Marilyn from USACan you please tell me if I can mount a laser on this pistol? Or can I order one from and set it up with a scope on it?
asked frankI have seen both laser sights that mount to the dovetail rails on the steel breech as well as a laser that clamps to the barrel hanging under the gun.
Parker from USACrosman sells the adaptor mount for a scope or laser. I can use the laser or if it's real sunny, I can use the iron sites because there is a "tunnell" to site thru the scope mount.
Terry from USAYes, the same scope that comes with the Crosman Model 2250B works with the Model 2240. The round barrel to dove tail adapter works with a dove tail rail laser scope.
Gary from USAi don't believe that you can mount a laser. you can call customer service and confirm as they are very helpful. it is a fun little co2.
Ei-Cheng from USAhey my name its Alan Brito from Brazil! you sento Brazil?
asked AlanTry checking out at the sight and if there is a restriction you will get a warning before you purchase the product. There are a lot of different regulations for all different countries and they are always changing, so we have set up an automatic warring if there is a product, based on your location, that is forbidden. Shipping price always changes, but you should be able to see the final price before you complete your purchase.
Scott from USAWhat size co2 does it take?
asked Nils from USACo2- 12 Gram
Scott from USAI got one of these from a friend and it has a CO2 cartridge corroded in it and won't come out. Any ideas on how I can get it out?
asked RJI had the same issue. I bought one of these at a garage sale, and I took it apart, and it worked perfectly after that. Just make sure that the gas is all gone, ( just try shooting it ) then download the video instructions on how to disassemble the gun it is easy. You can completely rebuild these guns with just a few basic tools.
Michael from USAWhere does the co² cartridge need to be placed? And how can a scope can be added?
asked Arne from BelgiumThe CO2 carts go into the tube below the barrel. (the end twists off) In-order to scope it, you either have to upgrade to a Steel Breech *an aftermarket part* or buy the clamp on barrel adapters. (they're kind of like heavy duty clothes pins that clip around the barrel in front of the breech and you mount the scope on them.)
Shane from USAIs it possible to add a scope to it? If so, what do I need to do to add one?
asked arne hutsebauttwo options: get the dovetail inter-mounts (they clamp to the barrel and allow a scope to be mounted on the barrel) not the best solution but cheap OR get the steel breech kit and mount a scope to the 11mm dovetail rail it provides (this is the more expensive option) that being said i have steel breech kits on all my Crosman pistols/carbines and they hold a scope very well.
Parker from USAYes all you need to do is buy the scope & the mounts
Robertdo you ship to malaysia?
asked pipiThank you for you interest. For questions about international ordering/shipping please email us at [email protected]. This so we can better help you.
Steve from USAlook i like the look but will it take a squirrel at about 40 to 50 yards? i like to tie fishing flies and need something to get some new furs
asked billI have a 24 in. barrel with all of the mod. and I would not be afraid to take that shoot.
Wyman from USAYes, if u mod it like this one in my pic!
Marilyn from USAi think with a 18 barrel u can achieve it at aroound 40 yards or so yess
brandonI would us a air rifle at that distance. I doubt there is any way you can achieve accuracy at that distance with a pistol.
Scott from USA
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.
