The Diana Bandit is destined for greatness as a backyard friendly PCP plinker. Based on the action of their hit PCP--the Diana Stormrider, the Bandit takes a similar approach to repeating shot action with indexing magazines cycled by smooth operating bolt-action. With 7 shots in .22 and 9 in .177, shooters are sure to enjoy more trigger time with less reloading than most air pistols. Fueled by a 50cc on-board tank, the Bandit makes for a low overhead entry into PCP guns and can easily be filled with a handpump. The Bandit offers shooters flexibility in their shooting sessions starting with the sights. Each pistol features traditional open sights with fully-adjustable rear sights for shooting straight out of the box. However, if you prefer to mount some optics, remove the rear sight to expose the 11mm dovetail rail. Likewise, the Diana Improved Trigger (DIT) allows the shooter to customize the take-up on the 2-stage trigger for a personalized trigger pull. When you start shooting, you can expect quiet shots from a long fixed-moderator.

Good value, and a BLAST to shoot!
February 8, 2019
At this price, I didn't expect too much in the area of quality or function. I dived in and
purchased one in .22, and one in .177. Both came in padded cases, with additional items, needed
to use these guns. To say that I was impressed would be a gross understatement. Neither gun had any
blemishes are machine marks of any kind on them. Better yet, both guns functioned perfectly and
are very accurate. Both are easily powerful enough to take small game at
moderate ranges. I've made a lot of purchases in my life, and of these two guns, I believe I made
tremendous buys. I am new to this sport, but will hopefully have many years of enjoyment
shooting these guns. In my opinion, money spent on these guns would be a great
value!

Prosoverall weight
accuracy
noise level
carrying cases included
ConsGrip: the grips are huge blocks of wood, and unless you have XL hands
like mine, you may have trouble making appropriate trigger contact.
Not a big issue, but I think the fill ports should be covered. As such,
I made my own out of some rubber rings.

Not impressed with assembly quality
December 27, 2018
The first one I received had a loose barrel, and barrel was dropping down and touching the air cylinder.
I returned it for exchange. The second replacement pistol also had a slightly loose barrel as well.
After tightening the 3 Allen screws on the breach, the barrel was tight and didn't have any droop.
Diana needs to have better assembly quality control. The second pistol shoots fine.
One last note. Make sure to clean the barrel before you fire it. Very dirty!!

I bought the air pistol a few months back and finally got to test it properly. I had a problem with the open sites they ran out of adjustment which made the gun shoot low. This was not a problem for me due to my age I mounted a Center point 2X20 pistol scope with high rings so the magazine would not have an issue loading. The medium rings my work I didn't try them.
This .22 cal pistol is a tack driver using JSB 14.35 Exact Jumbo Express. Right out of the box with out cleaning the barrel it put pellet on pellet. The trigger is a little stiff but as I have broken it in it's become smother. I haven't adjusted it yet but the trigger pull is about medium in weight. The moderator for the .22 works great which brings the sound level down to very back yard friendly. At 25 yards it has more then enough power to take out small game and birds. The mussel energy is at 12 foot pounds using the 14.35 pellets. I am getting about 40 shots per fill. Great price for what you are getting.

ProsTack Driver, Very quiet, 40 shots per fill.
ConsA plug cover, or dust cover would be nice for the prob hole.
Best UsesThe lower power give you the ability to take out birds, squirrels, rats or rabbits without pellet travel destroying whats behind them.

Who is the REAL Bandit Here??!!

I feel Like I stole this Airgun for the price. It is a tack driving, POWERFUL Airgun in a target pistol configuration. The pistol grip is ergonomically based in, waiting for its owner to customize the wood for a perfect fit. I get 30 shots per fill. That's 4+ 7 shot magazines per fill! Who can't hunt with 30 shots? I am designing and building a shoulder stock for it.
Prosread above
ConsCome on Crosman/Benjamin. This airgun platform from China needs to be reckoned with.

Best PCP Air Pistol for the money!
October 9, 2018
This Gun is accurate, lightweight, and is capable of multiple shots. I have .22 cal. and only tried it at 25 yards, so will have to update later after trying it out at longer distances. Being a mostly scoped shooter and not really liking open sights, i would have to say that most Hand guns are better off left with open sights, since they have limited range capabilities. But there are exceptions. I do not see where you can add scope mounts on this Gun, but it is just fine the way that it is.
ProsLight weight, Quiet, Multiple shots, Accurate, and affordable.
ConsNone.
