Crosman C11 BB Pistol

Donā€™t waste your time or money. If you read the description of the gun and you want something like this, then buy the Crosman PFM16 instead. Based on all the reviews that I read and my personal experience, even if this gun were to work at its best, itā€™s like a black and white TV with a rabbit-ears antenna vs a plasma screen HD tv with the full cable compliment. Get the PFM16. Or, really, anything other than the C11.

Nice for training or target shooting in garage. Grip that covers co2 slips a bit but for the price, not an issue.
Get one!.

Absolutely flawless!

I got him a daisy powerline 340 and broke in 1 1/2 days I toke it back to Canadian tire and upgraded it to the crosman c11 it is a awesome gun rips throw pop cans with great accuracy he loves it.and he get about 150 or so from 1 co2

Everything on the site description was accurate. Love the size and fps

Very nice BB gun, no problem shooting a target from 30 ft. The gun has a decent weight on it and is easy to use.

I bought this as an inexpensive way to use up a lot cof CO2 and bbs I had when my old Daisy broke. I is surprisily a good pistol for the price, out pperforms some of the more expensive pistols I bought later on. The magazine is a little fussy about the brand of BBs, if the BBs are undersize they won't sty in the magazine, but its accurate and shoots well.

Awesome power with BBS light weight too handle weapon

Fast delivery, easy to handle and use.

The pistol is light and powerful but needs to be redesigned so it does not jam so much!! If the pistol would not jam it would be a perfect gun..

This pistol does it all. The recoil is very slight, the trigger is easy to pull. The nois is a little louder than I expected but will within acceptable range.
It feels good in my hand. The weight is well distributied. the ejection is easy and smooth and the reload goes in very easily.

I bought this gun a few years back and enjoyed it fully. It just now broke after 5 years of abuse i've dropped it many times,forgot it on the hood of my car and drove off smashing it to the ground.
It's an accurate gun and co2 lasts.

Had this gun for a little over a year. It is very accurate. It can hit chipmunks at 15 yard.
The trigger is a little long and rough but if you squeeze the trigger, it will hit very accurately.
The Co2 is a little tricky to replace but once you get used to it, it is fine.
If you have the metal clip, it will dry fire on occasion but the plastic clip is flawless.
It has enough velocity to kill starlings and chipmunks cleanly.
Overall very good gun.

Remember, all these tools (like bb guns) are only temporary and are only a tool while we are here on earth.

This is my first BB gun, I love it. It feels awesome in my hand and it is spot on target. I am satisfied with this purchase.

first refurbished gun I have bought and I am very happy with it have not had any problems at all with it would buy another

GREAT BB GUN! Easy to use, Very accurate for an inexpensive gun. Make sure you buy extra clips shoots about an average of 80 rounds on one Co2 cartridge.

This gun has a great fell to it. The trigger squeeze is just right. Shooting right-handed, the safety is on the right side forward of the trigger guard. This makes it easy to select "on/off" with my trigger finger.

Great gun, very powerful, use good BBs for better accuracy, fends off lots of different animals? Vermits? Mean dogs? Ect..

I've had my C11 for a couple of weeks now, and it just does everything perfectly. It's very easy to load both the Co2 and the bb's, it shoots accurately and hits hard, and it gets alot of shots per Co2 cartridge. The trigger pull is a little rough feeling, but I don't even notice that anymore. It's an amazing little pistol.
The only quirk I have been able to find so far is that every time you remove a loaded clip, it loses 1 bb out of the clip. I simply remove the clip and then pour the lost bb out of the grip area and put it back in the clip, no big deal at all. Yep, im givin this little semi auto wonder gun 5 stars.

Fun gun to play with in the backyard.

This is the best thing to happen to me

Fun to shoot, used it for target practice in my backyard and had lots of fun for little money!

Bought 2 of these over the years, They DO have one of the highest fps's but after reloading a few CO2 cartridges, the loading pin goes out of wack, and won't seal correctly. This empties your new cartridge and obviously wastes them, as you try again, which I did several times, thinking I must have put it in wrong. After this happened to the second C11, I finally concluded it wasn't me...it was the gun. DON'T BUY THIS if you expect to use it more than 4-5 cartridges worth. Its CHEAP FOR A REASON.

This pistol is too much fun! order extra clips! get the holster...Not as accurate as some others but for this price ya can't beat it!!!

Since the first CO2 bottle this pistol sucks. The BB's fall out of the clip once you insert the clip in the gun. I would not recommend and definitely would not buy this gun again.

Shoots accurate and has good feel in your hand

Other than the pistol not coming with 5 Co2 cartridges and one extra magazine as described in the ad, I was well satisfied with the product. They DID send the missing peripherals, along with 1,500 BB's after I made one phone call. This was a minor thing.

Fun to play, shoot about 80-90 per CO2 cart.
accuracy is better than I think.

This is a great gun at a great price. Feels nice in the hand. Easy to use. Enough power for plinking. Not a gun for match shooting but accurate enough.
This thing is so fun.

...and a pleasure to shoot. This is a solid, substantial CO2 pistol that once it is "broken in" shoots accurately enough. I've come to enjoy air guns very much because it requires similar technique to more powerful ballistic firearms (aiming, breath control, muscle control, etc.) but with less cost (ammo) and less effort (the long-term effects of big recoil). Whoever is rehabilitating these re-sells is doing a fine job' I've bought several of them just to get a better feel for the variety of types of air guns. Surprisingly, the only one of about 8 purchased so far that I returned for malfunctioning was brand-new. The fixed sights are sufficient to the task and the gun is quite accurate.

I am having a lot of fun, enjoyment, shooting this Crosman. Its feel, its simplicity, for a first timer, is just what I needed. However, one of the reasons I went with this was to drive some rabbits away from my destroyed garden, either by death or fear. As it turns out neither has worked. My aiming is just plain awful, for death or fear, sad when rabbits laugh at you. To the Crosman's part, well I did manage to hit one of the rabbits once, he rolled over and more of that demoralizing laughter directed towards me. I think I should have gotten a pellet gun, with practice my aim has got to get better, it can only get better.
As for Airgun Depot, outstanding in every way. To the point that when I get over this rabbit caused depression, I will for sure buy that pellet gun from Airgun Depot.

I bought this for my son for his birthday after he begged for a BB pistol all year. I insisted that it be a Crosman, because that's what I had as a kid. I assumed that this brand stood for quality. I was wrong.

After about 20-25 shots, the barrel shot out of the muzzle. It would not function and it could not be forced back into position. It's sad how this disappointed him so quickly after waiting for his birthday.

You can't take it apart yourself or the warranty is void. Taking or shipping it to an "authorized" service center costs more than buying another one. I think they count on that! I took it apart to find it poorly designed and cheaply built. I'm surprised it even made it to 20 shots. It's now in the trash. Son is sad - I'm disgusted.

I've bought the first C11 more or less because it was cheap and I wanted to give it a try.

We don't have a yard and so it took a while until I got to try the gun. During a trip to the desert, my wife and I tried it on a couple of empty aluminum cans.

And we were really impressed by the destruction this little gun did to those cans. At about 10 Yards the BB's ripped right through the cans - even the thicker top and bottom parts of the cans. With a fresh CO cartridge, it's pretty accurate up to 15 Yards and still quite powerful.

Yes, it's cheap, but it's worth the money. So far I had no problems with it. My wife likes it because she's hitting stuff with it easily. That's why I just ordered another one. ;)

It feels good in your hand and shoots straight. The price is right, however, it seems to lose a little co2 when you puncture a new cartridge.

I've just bought this gun. There is some minor problems but nothing to worry about like the magazine. The magazine is very frustrating at first because it spills BB's all over. You do get the hang of it. Another problem is the Co2 runs out a little too fast. Other then those minor problems, I really like this gun. It is very powerful, has a nice feel to it, and is accurate. I would defiantly buy this gun for the low cost.

Bought this semi auto C11 for rapid fire, close range fire power in the event I missed the skunks with my single shot pellet rifle and they got too close. The 480 FPS would be enough to back them off while I retreated and the rapid fire would allow me to to put lead down range at a high rate. The pistol arrived in three day's. I have been very disappointed in the pistol as it fails to load every second or third shot (miss fires). Not what you need for a approaching skunks. The Co2 loads in the grips and the grips are very loose and keep coming off the gun. Also, you lose some Co2 charge every time you try to reload the Co2. When it does fire, it has descent power but I need it to fire every time.

My son and I were pleasantly surprised at how well this little pistol handles and the power it packs.

This was the best part of my first purchase from your great website. My wife wants to learn how to shoot a pistol, and I got to thinking, a BB pistol would be a great starter for her to learn the basics of guns, and shooting. This gun has a real life feel, a good weight to it, unlike the airsoft plastic BB pistol. She thinks it fits pretty well, now just have to try it out, and see how a refurb will be and last. I just wish you had the extra magazines in stock when I bought the gun. Might have to get one for me as well.

When I first bought it, I thought it looked cool. Then I took it out of the package and loaded the Co2 in it. Right away it leaked. I shot off a couple of rounds, and it started leaking from the barrel. I thought I might have had loaded the cartridge in wrong, so I replaced it with a new one. The Co2 was leaking out of every space it could find. Worse gun I've ever owned.

This is the second C11 I have bought. It's a very powerful and accurate pistol. I liked it so much that I bought another one. For the price, you can't go wrong!

Bought as an extra for wife to use. It fits about 16 BB's. It has a nice trigger, great feel in hands, and not too heavy. Lots of fun for the price

After loading a clip of Copperhead BB's and going to my friends house where he has a huge yard and an area for target practicing, I fired it and wow! It feels great in your hand and is pretty accurate. I didn't do bad at all shooting at my first targets! Excellent pistol for the price and quality!

It is an awesome pistol, my wife and kids love them as do I. We went through approx 6000 bb's the first time out and it was a blast, clips were easy to load. The Co2 was easy to install and never one time did the gun jam or misfire. I was so impressed, I ordered 2 more. Enjoy! They are a fun cheap activity for the whole family.

the second one I have bought from you ,MY grandson and i liked it so mush we had to have another

I can't get a powerlet in with out half of it leaking out. The gun is so good though that that only knocks off one star.

I only gave it three stars because it is a smooth bore barrel and smooth bores aren't usually very accurate but this one is very good accuracy for smooth bore pistol, I reccommend it to anyone looking for backyard fun in the sun

This gun has a very realistic feel in your hand however you cannot move the slide what so ever and this gun is fairly inaccurate

good gun!!! co2 loads easy the only thing i dont like is it takes a few tries to get the spring on the clip to stay back.

magazine spring went first after a few weeks had to 'modify it' so it would feed with less slack in the spring. magazine release spring fell out a little while after that had to hold broken magazine in to fire. barrel shot out about a month after that during a excessive fire test where i put in a brand new 12 gram and rapid fired and the third or fourth shot blew the barrel right out and gas just sprayed everywhere out of the gun. so for about 6 months it was a fun toy

It was great until it broke on the 3rd day. Mag catch shattered. Otherwise it was a great performer.

I own this gun and I love it. It's powerful has a real look and it is very accurate. Best of all it has a great Price don't wait, buy this gun now.

Great gun for the price has great speed. Note that the gun is plastic I would have liked it to be metal but that's what you get for the price.

Would not discharge BB's without putting pressure on the bottom of the clip, right out of the box.

This refurbished Crossman C11 bb gun was approximately 50% less than what a "big box" store wanted for one. It functions perfect, is very accurate for a smooth bore and gets (5) magazines per co2 cylinder. For $24.00 how could you go wrong. Perfect for low cost plinking.

This is the best and most reliable gun ever I have had it for 5 years and I have never had a problem with it.

the back grip where you put the co2 in is loose and it likes to fall off. The gun itself is awesome! very accurate

I have one for a year. just put a ruber band around the middle of the grips an it will hold it . change co2 take the band off and then put it back on. problem solved

the gun is powerful and feals great, but it does misfire 3/4 of the time. i called crossman and they said that it was a problem with the clip and they told me that they would send one right away no charge to me. if anyone else has this problem just call crossman 1-800-724-7486

Gun miss fire to often, not reliable.

(do not buy)

I'll get the pro's and con's out of the way:
Pro's: High fps, Durable
Con's: Only fires 10% of the time


I bought this gun because I had good experiences with co2 guns before, so I assumed this one would be the same. HAH! I got it, put in the co2 cartridge that i bought with it, loaded the clip with the BB's i bought with it, took aim, pulled the trigger, and nothing. I tried again, nothing. I thought I screwed it on too tight so i loosened it, nothing. I loosened it more, and still nothing. It got to the point where the co2 had to be leaking from the gun to even have half a chance at firing.
I thought maybe it was just the cartridge itself, so i tried it with a new one, and nothing. I took out the clip and fired, still nothing.

I counted how many times i had pulled the trigger as well as how many times the gun fired, and it fired 1/34 times.

Good gun very fast if you push the mag ejector too hard it will break the pin that holds the mag in.All in all its a good gun recomend a dot sight because of the iorn sights.

good for bird and pest

Very powerful compared to other pistols. On a windy day I nailed a wood pecker at about 33 or so yards! Probably just lucky shot but still!

Hi I just wonted to say what a Great Gun this has been for me so far. I have shot with it a bunch at lest 6000 bbs. Out of a 100% i would haved to say its worth 98% rating few prb but nothin bad at all. the bb mag can fall out of the gun if your hand is pressed to the grib very tight. But it has Been a Really good gun for the most part.

I Bought The C11 about a half year ago. And i Just wanted to say over all its a really Good Pistol. I would say i have shot bbs in it around 5,000-8,000 times so far and over all it works Great 98% of the time. onec in while iv had few mis fires. but not that much. Has Good power. Prb the Best gun iv ever used in a BB Gun. I would also say it holds at Lest 18-20 Max bbs prb 20 if loaded in from the top of the mag. They work Great in my C11. I have shot it a lot so far and really like it. goona take it out this summer. and have fun with the black birds lol. I just hope my c11 will hold up for many years to come. if it dose Ill prb be buyin more.

Price was right and gun shoots well, pretty acurate. Had a little problem with it not shooting a BB but removing the clip and putting it back took care of the problem.

I've seen several posts complaining about a sloppy, loose CO-2 grip cover.

I have two of these fine shooters and one had the irritating loose cover. The fix is SIMPLE. Pop the loose grip off, put it in a bowl of water and nuke it for 3 or 4 minutes in the microwave. Fish it out the the boiling water with some tongs and squeeze it in a kitchen towel until cool. Pop it back on the pistol and it will be better than new. It's not rocket science guys.

I've had this gun 2 years now for OCCASIONAL paper target mayhem. I learn something new about firearm handling, and control, by the simple use of this well designed gun. It has a comfortable grip style, like newer Walther P series firearms. Holds great! Great magazine capacity at 18 rounds. The weight is well balanced. Easy to learn the trigger and response, so long as you FOCUS ON THE GUN! This is where many fail to unlock a gun's design and function. Material is good quality, durable. Sights are not strong but very useful. A laser attached to the gun's accessory mount added to great results on paper at various distances and conditions. I cannot miss a 4 inch target at 10 meters. Buy one or two!!! Well worth it!

Love this BB gun. well worth the money!!!

One of the more powerful guns you can get, especially for the price. My only con was the loose feel of the CO2 cover. I wanted to share a couple solutions i have heard and verified. Use the fuzzy side of velcro and put a small piece on both sides. Feels tight at first but it will not come off unless you want it off. the other was to do the same thing with electrical tape.

this gun is great.i bought it bought it 2 days ago, very powerful. i sot 10 birds and 5 rabbits great for pests

this gun shoots great for the money. It is pretty accurate and VERY easy to load. Also, it is incredibly fast. With a 12g co2 I can usually get around 80 shots. It's great for backyard target shooting or even varmint hunting. GET THIS GUN IT ROCKS!!!!!

PROS:

-Feels like a handgun. I bought this for training and its working well for gun safety, stance, grip. The metal clips (get extras) are inexpensive, hefty, and well designed. These add to the overall experience of loading the handgun.

- Power is as advertised and you can get over 100 shots per 12 gram CO2 cartridge. The non-blow-back design makes the gun more accurate and conserves gas real well. On a new Powerlet, I can shoot a magazine of BBs clear through a 1 gal. milk container full of water at short range.

CONS:

- As everyone points out, Crosman should do something about the sliding grip that houses the CO2. I'm thinking of putting a little black electrical tape in there to provide it with a little more friction so it stays snug.

- The two stage trigger can be a problem if you squeeze very, very slowly and if you are pointing at a target that is at any slight incline of the muzzle down. The BB will get moved into the chamber on the first stage and will begin rolling down the barrel. This leads to wildly inaccurate shots. It can even roll all the way out before the second stage hits it with the gas. What I do is just squeeze the trigger smoothly and without much delay. I think Crosman should look into a magnetic retainer in the chamber to prevent this from happening.

Overall:

Great gun for the price. I really enjoy using this product and spend some time each week with my sons shooting!

Looks & feels like a real gun. Bigger than I thought it be. Shoots great and pretty accurate from about 40 ft I think. Fun gun.

Nice pistol feels good, shoots good, powerful, a whole lot of fun, and accurate. I have no problem getting 18 bb's in clip, it's even easier getting them out. Buy a couple of extra clips you will be glad you did
