Crosman PFAM9B BB Pistol

Don't buy this pistol unless they make a speed loader for it cuz they won't stand behind their product believe me if I had to do it all over again I would not. Especially after buying Crosman products my whole life that's all I've ever known. And to get treated like this is absolutely uncalled for.

Pros
And buying Crosman products my whole life I really got screwed on this one. Have to load the BBS one by one they don't make a speed loader for it I called the company several times and they won't f****** stand behind it. I am flipping pissed. She's going to make a gun like this we either need to make it easier to load or make a speed loader for it. Now you won't take it back. Just because my wife lost the receipt. I think we need to organize a class action lawsuit. You have my email Crosman do something about this problem either give me a different fully automatic pistol give me my flipping money back

Cons
Make a speed loader for this pistol or give me my money back and tell everybody else this pistol is a joke the way you have to load it

I am returning for the misinformation provided on the Loudness. My sole reason for purchasing this airgun was to have something that I could use that was under the level of sound of my other airguns.

Pros
Heavily constructed, probably very robust in the field. Smooth operation of trigger mechanism and slide on the couple of shots I took. However see below for safety operation.

Cons
Inaccurate description on website: Loudness is NOT Low. More in the medium to perhaps medium high level. In comparison to the Weihrauch HW 44 (which is accurately described as low-medium) the PFAM9B's report is 6 decibels louder (recall 10 decibels is twice as loud). The safety is poorly made and doesn't operate smoothly ; however, that could just be a one off for this piece and with time and a little wear could improve. Cannot display sound data since no way to upload sound file.

Good feel and fun to shoot just too many negatives that need addressing.

Pros
Bought one of these for my son to get the feel of a blowback pistol before shooting my 9mm down the road. Gun had a nice feel and was fun to shoot single and full auto for sure. It was fairly accurate not too loud and the blowback worked as it should. I did have a couple jams and I was using the Crosman copperheads as recommended. The real problem encountered was that the safety was very hard to engage and impossible to disengage. I had to remove the slide and use a small screwdriver to gently push the little ball back against the spring while pushing on the lever to release the safety. This happened twice as we accidently flipped the lever from full auto past single fire to safety. Again had to use the screwdriver to disengage the safety. Poor design on the internal ramp for the ball to move on.

Cons
I was very disappointed in the magazine. The Co2 area was fine but loading the BBs was a pain in the butt and can't believe this was made by Crosman. I own several Crosman guns old and newer and was surprised that there was not a notch for the plunger, when pulled back against the spring, to lock in place as all of my others do. You have to hold the plunger back with one finger and load the BBs one by one. I tried the speed loader but it wouldn't work on this mag. And if you fill it with one BB too many the plunger, which is very sloppy in the track, pops upward and jambs against the loading area and won't push the BBs into the gun. You end up shooting just air at that point. The mag is junk and needs minor improvements to make it better. And yes, as others have said, this gun eats up CO2 like crazy because of the blow back. Even more so than the DPMS full auto we have. I sent it back after one day of shooting. Negatives out weighed the positives.

Better than expected.

Pros
Looks ,feels,shoots great true full auto.

Cons
I wish there were larger cal upgrades.

the barretta model is effin awesome and have only had a slight issue of cycle when the co2 is getting low

Pros
I bought one for the fact that it is a full auto the thing is pretty much a lot of fun as it is heavy and breaks down to feild strip almost as the same to the gun it replicas. the feel is about the same and i found it fairly smooth to operate and function in high fire conditions.

Cons
after about 500 shots the thing started to break down in its ability and service and cleaning it was the magazine spring that failed first , and simply it was the major ending of my fun cause its just not as durable in stress conditions the old dog sits as it was the last time it actually fired. all the seals are shot out and refurbishing is not as simple as the manual says also hard to find the right parts and extra mags are darn near non available on the market. so now its just a replica non fire type. I wouldnt buy another because it was done for about a month after purchase.

Once accustomed to the sights, I shot this Crosman pistol quite accurately and it behaved predictably. The report is quieter than my other BB pistols, like my Glock 19 and Sig P365.

Pros
Overall, this Crosman BB pistol has a good, realistic feel. Compared to other BB pistols (Glock, Sig,..) with a "modern" design, this Crosman PFAM9B is heavy.

Cons
To load BBs into magazine is a tedious task! The mag spring can't lock down to load; finger must remain on to hold it. The CO2 depletes after two magazines (of single-shot); typically, it sputters at last shot of mag#2 and depletes the CO2 cartridge. Two big negatives: Loading of BBs, and fast depletion of gas. Front sight not true.

Right off the bat - full auto is a blast !! In semi auto nice & smooth. Full auto accuracy 50/50 pending your bb ammo choice & you. Semi mode pretty accurate within 30ft, 20ft I'm getting very good & tight center grouping. 30ft a little more scattered but still good. Blow back feature on this is close to the real thing, weighs in & fires almost like a real barretta. This is one of my favorite blowback bb pistols I own.

Pros
Back yard plinking fun & getting anyone familiar with introducing pistol use for 1st timers & not using real ammo

Cons
Jammed a bb in the chamber a few times but that was the bb's being used, suggest using better bb's that have constant .177 size. Other than that no neg on this pistol

Great gun. Great power. Great accuracy at short range.

Pros
FULL AUTO! Powerful. Accurate.

Cons
Eats Co2 when shooting in full auto mode.

I've wanted to add a Taurus pt-92 or Berretta M9/92 blowback replica air pistol to my collection for years, but the low velocities of the GSG92 & swiss arms 92 made me not bother with them. I prefer my co2 pistols to be rated around 400 fps and more. Those crosman pfam9b certainly shoots way harder than the other similar models. So far, I like everything about this pistol!

Pros
Everything

Cons
I haven't found any yet
